Alfred E. Stewart, one of the
younger members Of No. 40, is with
the 319th engineers band, stationed,
for the time being, at Camp Fremont,
California. He says that the camp
| is one of the finest in the country with
plenty of shade and the best Of grub.
Thomas G. Dawson, another recent
ly initiated member Of No. 40, has
been called to the great game and is
stationed at Camp Cody, New Mex
leo. He is in the LIST Company, June
casual camp.
Norman P. Geyer and John ]. Cour-
sey have been called to the defense
Of Uncle Sam and left this week for
Camp Travis, Texas.
George Astler writes from North
CAL: "Am now at North Island,
where the airplanes and seaplanes are
thick as the army and navy aviation
fields are here. Conditions are not
the best, as it is a new camp and far
from complete and there is lots Of
work going on making the camp, to-
gether with the regular routine which
must go on if we are to win and end
this war very soon. No civilians are
allowed on the grounds, SO we do not
have to be SO particular and can go
about with very little on and thus
manage to keep cool. Good old Colo
RADIO has this climate skinned, believe
me. Don't know how long we will be
here, but indications point to a change
soon. Have been swimming quite a
bit lately. We go back and forth to
San Diego on motor boats and
launches" A postal written on the
18th says: I'VE are on our way East
to Philadelphia; will write you from
there" George inclosed his picture
and he looks fat and happy.
Leo Cuthbertson, U. S. engineers,
wrote as follows, under date of June
20: Dear Frank-Have about fifteen
minutes to jot down few lines before
chow. Hope you are not displeased
because / have not written sooner.
Have been travelling most of the time
/ since arriving in France, no small part
Of which was via the foot route. We
are expecting an order TO move up
to tcensored) at any moment. Sid has
most likely told you about army life
and conditions in France, therefore,
will not dwell on that subject. Sid,
according TO information ! have re-
ceived, has been transferred to head
quarters of the Fourth division. 1t
is not likely l will see him again in
France. / am more satisfied now than
Mt any time since joining the army.
Am near the front and expect to be
called to the firing line any day. The
| spirit Of the Americans seems to be
desire for action. / presume we will
get all the action we want before we
| are thru. Drilling becomes monoto-
nous and boresome-that is perhaps
one reason we would like to reach the
front. ! am not far. from CD now.
As write this letter (ccnsored). Re-
member me kindly to all the boys.
Would like and much appreciate a
long letter, with lots OF typo and per-
sonal news" Among interesting pos
tai cards received by. the secretary
from different members Of the union
who have travelled in foreign countries
| il this one from Lee. who hastened
back to the land Of his birth just be-
fore the chief Hun started out to
conquer the world: Berlin, Ger
many, July 2, 1914. Friend Birdsall-
We are touring Europe for summer
vacation Having n grand time. Best
regards to our friends. Leo Cuthbert-
son. Clarence Brueger."
Carroll Gilmore, still Mt Camp
Greene, North Carolina, has requested
| transfer to a motor ambulance corps
forming there and IL he makes it will
go into active training in that line
for about two months and then across
the big pond.
Extracts from letters received from
, Sid Adair:
France, June %, 1918.
This being Sunday. have few
hours off and will drop a few lines to
put in the time and let you know
where my thoughts are, as that is
about the only diversion ! have. For
another week Fritz's projectiles. air
| raids. gas and various other pleasur-
able means Of destructive amusement
have missed me. / am inclosing n
souvenir card, which is about the only
thing in that line can find that fits
my pocketbook and the government
regulations. But it is from far off
France, and will remind you Of other
days. Am still on the same job as
when last wrote, but have asked
for a transfer to general headquar-
tiers and thru n piece of unlocked for
good luck (which I will explain il
transfer goes thru hope and expect
TO land at the keyboard in Paris in
the near future. Well,
Frank, would like to sit down and
write about the country and its peo-
pie from my observation all at one
time, for think it would make inter-
esting reading, but rs I don't have
the time for necessary concentration
will have to tell you a little each
time It comes to me. In all French
towns they have q square and Satur-
day morning 10 market day and every
one with anything to sell gathers there
and pitch booths, or those with small
