BELFAST.

Mr.. and Mrs. John F. Chapman of this
city have received letter from their
son Clarence of Company E, 18th Infant
ry, stating that he is at No. ] Belvue
Base Hospital in France. The letter was
written ON Red Cross paper and was dat
ed April 23rd. He said he had been hav-
ing trouble with his right eye, but was
receiving the best of treatment They
are a fine lot of physicians. They are
there to help save their country as they
are not receiving twentieth part of
what they would In civilian practice.
Their services are needed and appreciat-
ed. He asks if it is possible for his par
ents to obtain sufficient gold leaf of dem
lists at home to fill his teeth as he could
not find it in France He says he has
some fine souvenirs for his parents when
he gets home, if he ever does. France is
in fine condition even now in the worst
war the world has ever known. He eX-
pressed the hope that the States would
not suffer on account of it. He is conf
dent that eve can't help winning in the
end" He urges his parents not to worry
about him for while he is thinking more
of home than ever he has not seen
homesick day since he arrived there in
June 1917. Clarence's name appeared
Sunday in the casualty list of slightly
wounded, but his parents think 1t is the
case mentioned in this letter to them.
