Private William V. Montague, who
has just arrived from overseas, is a
guest of his aunt, Mrs. P. H. Bramel,
near Paris.
Private Dee Ramey, formerly a
resident of the Escondida vicinity,
has arrived at Boston, Mass, after a
long service overseas. He will re-
ceive his honorable discharge at
Camp Zachary Taylor, and will re-
turn to Paris to reside.
Private Chas. w. Harpe, of Paris,
in a letter to his mother, Mrs. Cal
Harpe, states he expects to sail for
America some time this month. He
has been in France for several
months, where he made a very COM
mendable record on the battlefront
| Private Harpe told his mother that
glory is all right, but glimpse of
good old America would be much
better"
Lieut.. Finnell Galloway, after a
long service overseas, has returned to
Paris, where he will spend a fifteen
| days furlough with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Grant Galloway, on the
Ford's Mill pike, near Paris At the
expiration Of his furlough Lieut..
| Galloway will return to Camp Zach
iary Taylor. where he will be muster
ed out of the service. Lieut.. Gallo

Miss Clennie Lusby, formerly of
Paris, who has been stationed at U.
S. General Hospital No. z, at Roland
Park, near Baltimore, has been trans
ferred to L. s. General Hospital No.
2, near Baltimore. These institu-
lions are maintained by the U. S.
Government for "reconstructing" SOL
diers who were blinded in battle,
and who are being taught useful oc-
equations TO fit themselves for the
future. This is one of the greatest
works the Government has under
taken for the salvation of the men
who served al the front and who lost
their sight in the stress of battle.
Mechanicician Earl p. King, for
merly of Paris, writes THE NEWS
the following letter from the EN-
barkation Camp at Bordeaux, France,
where he has been stationed some
! time. He gave his new address, but
as that is almost as long as the let
ter, we refrain from taking up need
ed space. 1t would take six limo
type lines to print it:
Bordeaux Embarkation Camp,
Camp Hospital No. 5,
France.
THE BOURBON NEWS:
have been receiving the paper
quite regularly and am very thank
full to you as well as the good mail
service we have in this Base Section
No. 2. l saw a piece in the paper
about Owen Gibson, and as / am sta
toned here for some time, would ap-
preciate it very much if you would
send me his address, so l can get in
touch with him.
We have had sailing orders twice,
always they have either not been
signed or dated and finally they
found a good permanent position"
for twenty Of our company in the
delousing mill at Bordeaux Embarka-
ton Camp, where we have been sta
toned since Feb. 4th. There is not
very much work to do just now, but
in the near future one half of a divis-
ion is coming through here, and
then we will have to be on our toes.
We have only been running about
5000 men week, but have run as
many as $500 through in a single
day.
Pople keep crying about not get
ting the boys home. This is not the
fault Of the army by any means, be-
cause there are 1000 men in this
camp now, ready for embarkation,
including several organizations of
engineers.
We have large theatre here of
single floor, under the supervision
of the Y. NJ. c. A, with a seating
capacity of 5000 men. We get all
the amateur army plays in the A. E.
F., such as Let's Co." "A Buck On
Leave" and all such plays, which
you have doubtless heard more of
than / have. The Y. M. C. AS are
going to begin running wet can
teens instead of the dry ones in the
future, the @. NJ having taken over
all the dry canteens. 1t is raining
here as usual, and / have gotten so
much in the habit of wearing my
rain coat, will soon be sleeping in it.
