INTERESTING LETTER FROM
SMITH COUNTY SOLDER

Aviation Branch, Va,
April 9th. 1913.
Messrs. Myers & Gardenhire.
Editors.
The Courier.
Carthage, Tenn.
Dear Sirs and Friends:
Until recently there has been
40 encouragement for the soldier
to write anything for publication
sYen to his home paper. As a
natter of fact, this has been in
variably true of the Aviation
Section, and is prohibited when
any remuneration attaches as a
oews correspondent. The wis.,
iom of this is obvious. especially
at the different flying fields.
where open promiscuous corre-
spondence by the soldier might
reveal important information
predjudicial to our interests and
probably of value to the enemy.
The Aviation Section is not a
branch of the Army proper. but
If the Signal Corps. However.
It is distinctly an organization
within itself and is self sustain
ing as distinguished from other
branches. The units are Squad
rons, Supply, Construction or
Service, winch describe them
selves. A Supply Squadron has
the same relation to other
Squadrons that the Qnartermast-
er Department has to other
branches of the Army.
The Aviation Section is both
interesting and attractive, and.
while new, is far past the exper-
mental stage. At present the
War Department is from three
to four months behind In the
Aviation schedule. This fact. in
Ill proba bility, is what is delay
ing us in getting into actual
service overseas. Naturally. We
are getting a bit impatient
However, much is. and may be.
expected of the Aviation Section
Our supremacy In the air with
an an overwhelming air fleet
with trained and fearless avia-
tors is going to be the determ
lining factor in winning the war.
/ like the Army splendidly.
[ have found Army life to be
both healthy and uplifting. ]

and endurance that ever had in
my life. Under the drill. dis
cipline, and vigorous routine, ]

velopment and foreign bearing.
perhaps like a real soldier some
what that I fear I have lost COM
pletely my identity as civilian
and citizen of Dixon Springs.
At this camp the week is about
equally divided between drill
and fatigue, but neither is made
too strenuous at any time.
My excuse for this letter is
the fact that / want to enroll as
a regular subscriber to the Cour-
Ter. Please send same to me for
the duration OF the war. Oc-
casionally l get a copy from
home but this is not enough.

scription is due. There is Moth
ing hale so interesting to sold
Ter as the local items and daily
happenings which are always
chronicled in his home paper.

dress. | will advise you when
to forward same to me abroad.
Contrary to what l generally
believed before enlistment, the
morale of the United States
Army today is good. The sold
iers as a rule are clean cut,
straightforward fellows. There
is little opportunity for loose,
reckless living. Good Influences
abound il only one will heed
them. and soldiers morals are
guarded with more care and re-
strictions than l have ever
known in civil life. It is in
these things in the making that
