ahead stopped frequently for a brief
rest. The parade must have crowd
ed a distance of two miles. Cincin-
natis quota is $1,25O,000 but they
employ good system and seem to have
great success in their undertakings.
about twenty women carried an
immense flag which soon began to
show an ever lowering centre as 1T
passed along and every once in a
while the green backs would fly out
from the crowd like a gust Of wind
whirling off with heap of autumn
leaves.
"The crack shot Of the world was
there with his little son about six
years old. His son had all the med
ais he had won pinned to his coat
front and there was no room to spare.
after the parade we disassembled
down town and were soon buying
papers and found the picture of the
first platoon on the front page two
hours after being snapped, Of course
we're hardly accustomed to quite
such lively action.
"The Lieutenants had announced
before we left the barracks that we
should report back for mess as the
'U' girls had been cooking all fore
noon preparing feast for us.
However, when we arrived on the
scene no feed was visible and we
looked gloomier than three wet days
but the sergeants announced there
had been a mistake made as the
girls had gone to participate in the
parade but that we weren't forgot
ten and might cherish hopes.
Sunday forenoon we got the third
incubation this time below left
shoulder blade. When the first pla-
toon discovered that former drug
store clerk was to operate the in
oculation needle we felt a little ap-
prehensive and we're wishing it were
Gregg Crusen with his several years
study behind the weapon. Neverthe-
less most of us said no worse than
the other as we beat it for our
hunks. But it faxed lot of fell
lows this time who withstood it 9TH
er times. One fellow said, 1--WE just
get to feeling good and they prompt
ly waylay u.s. But we've got Bill
Kaiser going just the same.
Someone feeling around for Gig
ars in Crusen's coat got hold of a
picture which we proceeded to in
quire as to its special privilege and
he informed us that was his June
bride and that Michigan furnishes
exceptionally attractive inducements
| in that line.
BILL Stinson says the last view OF
| Spike Harris was out at Chester
| Park Friday night flying around one
of those figure 8 dip and dive con-
| tortional rides.
Chester Park is a sort of enter
prise operated on the plan of 'Wond-
erland' of Minneapolis Free admis-
sion but usually a fellow shells out a
few beans before leaving. 1t is one

man all week. Monday we located
the Tribune at his bunk and were
trying to figure out his express ex
clusiveness but he explained there
was bit of the emerald isle bach
in Minnesota and that efficiency wa:
not all within the gates Of Potsdam
Then every mail seemed to bring Z
box which attracts soldier boys like
sugar does flies.
Christie Eul had heard so much
about the city hospital that he wen
out with the doc for several days bu
after looking the place over and de
c1aring it marvellous place returned
Saturday last. Some one lost thu
horse power of his Liberty truck
OF course one might fancy the at
mosphere Of hospital ward is nc
place for a Hun Hunter Of Christie's
type.
"The bunch was quite elated
when we found note in the Gin
cinnati paper saying Minneapolis
was leading the bond subscriptions
and sherwood said, now we'll take
this and show those unbelievers
around here.
"Garberick says there's just one
