The road by Longshore's is not as
good as it was a couple weeks ago
when I made this trip. The heavy
rains and the failure to use the split
log drag at the proper time, and the
travel over the roads, left them
rough with the big ruts. Just lit
tie dragging at the proper time would
have made this road very good, ex-
cept of course the swamps. on either
side of Mudlic and Little river. And
the heavy sand beds are still there,
made the worse for being worked,
such work as is done by piling mo:e
sand and loose dirt in the centre of
the road. If a great part of this sand
could just be transferred little way
to the red clay portions of the road it
would help both.

There are several small bridge on

I went around by Dyson, = town
again, but the Dyson; Grocery COM
pany would not sell me any sugar
this time. You know Dyson is a
good business place and could, be
made much better if there could be
some good roads built in this section
of the country. There is q large
brick yard right at the station, and
only mile further up the road is
another, and they make good bricks
and have demand for all they can
manufacture. In fact this whole Sec
ton of country is a good farming
section and the crops this year are
very fine.

officers OF the ship tell the writer
that they understand orders have been
issued which will result In loading
$4,000 men on the Jeviathan the next
time she leaves Brest for New York
In the humble judgment OF a land
lubber such move would be a mis-
take. II would further crowd the
partments. which are already
tammed with a load such as the 27th
Division and l,i72 casuais furnished.
and II will necessitate the use for
sleeping quarters OF deck space whicn
Is absolutely needed by the soldiers
during the day. Furthermore, there
Is the element OF risk to be cons!d-
cred.
The inevitable consequences Of an
accident to the Leviathan with $1,000
men aboard would be unpleasant. to
say the least. True, the Leviathan
carried 1900 all told on one trip
eastbound lost year. but that was az
u timc when Americans were ur-
gently needed In France and II was
necessary TO take chances. The time
FOR desperate chances has passed, no

mand in the United States 10 bring

Owing to confusion on the docks at
Brest the 27th Division units and the
casuals we're all mixed up as they
came aboard a week ago. The surg
ing lines OF soldiers carrying packs
and guns got out OF control and the
men swarmed all over the compart-
ments reserved for them. 1t became
nect 1sary to sort them out and get
them where they belonged.
