FORT THOMAS. KENTUCKY

As have recently visited Fort
Thomas and met some Of the boys
who have come there from Tennes-
see, it might be Of interest to the
folks back home to know what kind
of place it is.
Fort Thomas is located in the out
skirts Of Newport, Kentucky, upon
the summit of beautiful Hill over
looking the Ohio river. The view of
the river and the hills that stretch
far away upon either the Ohio or
Kentucky side is splendid, and no
doubt will make lasting impression
upon the boys who spend their first
days of camp life there.
Fort Thomas can be easily reach
ed in few minutes by a ride upon
an electric car either from CincinnR-
ii, Newport or COvington.
Fort Thomas has an area of Ill
acres. The grounds are we'll shaded,
and the numerous building for the
most part are brick structures.
At this fort as well as at all others
the Y. M. c. A., and the Knights of
Columbus are doing all in their pow
er to look after the comfort and well
fare of the boys who come here in
response to the call of Uncle Sam.
Fort Thomas is what might be call
ed a distributing camp, and the boys
pass through this camp to various
other camps, to where they will final
lily be assigned.
Saturday afternoon, as | was
strolling around this camp, l saw a
hand wave friendly greeting, from
a crowd gathered in the shade of the
medical barracks, and | fastened to
where they were and found that they
were the boys from Chattanooga who
had arrived that morning.
They looked tired as they had trav-
eled all night before, but young
Webb told me to inform any Chatta-
fnooga friend I might see that they
were in good spirits and happy.
It is an interesting study to watch
the boys come into these camps.
They come in droves, some carrying
suit cases, some grips, and occasion
ally the poor boy from back in the
hills in the country carries his scant
belongings which fond mother has
packed in pasteboard shoe box.
The boy who has never been away
from home may experience sense OF
homesickness during the first few
ldays in camp, but this will melt away
in the great democracy of comrade.
ship, where the brotherhood of man
is welded together for common
cause.
Here's to the boys from Tennessee
God bless them, one and all
