Camp Forrest, Ga.

Camp Forrest, Ca, Sunday 18th,
q. m.>Editor News: AT your re-
quest and to my pleasure, here it
is:
4 have been in the army now Is
days and up to now / am very
much pleased with it. / have been
working at the Personnel Office
since I first got here, have been
special clerk to q M. D., so Of
course / nave had q soft time so
far.
The Personnel Office is .compos-
ed of medical corps men and their
clerks. and they have charge Of
examining Of all new arrivals, and
at the Office where / am stationed,
we have examined 10000 men
since | arrived men Of all classes
Of all nationalities, Of all profess
sions, and all shapes and sizes.
Really it has been wonderful to see
the mass Of human flesh go by. I
say human flesh, for that is really
what it is, because they all.take off
their clothes and line up and wait
until their time.
4 asked the other day as to how
large this Camp was, and was told
that Oglethrope, Greenleaf and
Forrest all Of which are in Chick
amauga Park, covered about 10
square miles, so you may imagine
how long it would take to find your
way back to Camp if you happened
to get lost.
There are men in my regiment
from every state in the Union, and
it is very noticeable that the men
from the South are the men that
always lead in everything-of
course, there are exceptions, for
there are a few gentlemen from
the north.
The enmity between the north
and south has been completely
dropped, because when the Yanks
sing Yankee Doodle Dandy" we
southerners join in and when we
sing Dixie" they all join in.
We are stationed t"Wilder's
Monument" It is the Indiana
monument, and it is the biggest I
ever saw. It would really be
worth anybody's time to come over
here and go through the park.
understand we go across in
about - days, and every man in
my Company is raring to go soon
er, because they are afraid it will
be over before they get over there.
We.have to get up at the hour Of
5 a. M, it was hard at first but
have gotten to like it already. It.
makes person feel better they
feed us fine whole lot better
than ! expected, but work and drill
US, well l guess. The bugle will.
blow Reveree in a few minutes, 50

left, send me one and thank you.

has entered the struggle that purchas-
ing agents are finding 1t difficult to
procure animals OF the proper type.
The army does not desire draft horses.
It has certain specifications regarding
weight and height and some breeds
are preferable. There are patriotic
persons who have given their pet
horses to the army, but these are the
horses unaccustomed to harlships and
that need the most care. A valuable
service can be done by giving Aarge
number Of lectures to soldiers on the
care Of horses and other animals As
an incentive one thousand copies Of
book entitled First Aid to Horses"
were distributed in Europe in one
army. Such books are needed here.
As the United States becomes more
and more prepared in training camps
and cantonments soldiers will realize
more and more keenly now important
part the horse plays in war. In fact
a short time ago a French officer said
| in Washington that he thought the
horse might prove to be a determin-
ing factor. He based this on the fact
that the Germans are already ham
pored by the need OF sufficient horses
to handle artillery. In this war long
range artillery is supreme factor and
horses must be At To obviate the
