FT. DADE, FLA.

How is the weather up there? We
have shirt-sleeve weather here all
the time. i haven't seen any frost
or snow since l left Ft Oglethorpe,
Nov. 13. have been transferred
from the 3rd. Co. c. A. c to Battery
B Gath Regiment, the Wildcat Divis-
ion, which is heavy motor artillery.
Things are stirring pretty lively here
now. Looks like somebody will
move soon. / hope We will get
started soon. Let me say now if you
people in civilian life go at hog rails
ing, gardening and farming in gen.
eral as enthusiastically as we boys
go at our duties, the, war will and
can be won with what men there
are in the army today. Such thing
as the blues has never been on this
island since l have been here,
don't believe, and it looks like from
reading tina some one at home is do
liz their bit, too If you take the
blues just think, the blues are moth
ing but good man feeling bad, and
go at things with double vim.
When you have the thought that we
may lose the fight, just think over
the following comparison Germany
as a large tank of water with a one
inch hole in the bottom for three
days, and the U. S. as still larger
tank only half full of water. We
was halfprepared for war; turn a
four inch stream of water into this
tank, then in three days if your house
was to get on. fire where would you
go to get water to put it out. If
you people will only put up the mon
ey at good rate of interest and feed
and clothe us, then you can bet your
bottom nickel the boys in uniform
will do the rest. Which is worth
The most, our blood to us, or your
money and perspiration to you?
Which can be replaced the easiest?
What you give will possibly be re-
.urned. What we are willing to
and are likely to give cannot be re-
.urned. Whose war Is this?
