OUR COUhTRY'S SERVICE

Thomas Walker of High street,
Oakland. received the following letter
from Pvt. Harry j. Goodman who is
in service in France:
Eerneiul, France,
Jan. S, 1919.
Friend Tom:-Have thought of YOU
often and intended to write you, but
it is a days work for me to write a
letter. Today had little more am
bition than usual and thought would
write YOU. Am in a small town by
the name of Nerneiul, about the CEN
ter of France. 1t is not on the map,
but if you look up the city of Neuero
you will be within thirty kilometers
Of Verneiul. Have not stopped in any
Of the large cities except when tray-
cling on the train and from what
see there is n great difference from
the cities in the states. We have had
very much rain. We have not had
any snow to amount to anything, one
little furry Christmas night. The
climate is warm and 1t would be quite
pleasant If it didn't rain SO much.
Well. l suppose the people at home
are wondering when the boys will be
home and the boys over here are do
ing the same thing. We haven't the
least idea when we will return, some
of the fellows say we are going to
Germany for while, but this is not
official. We hear lots of wild rumors
home know more about it than we do.
OF course we will be home some time,
that is certain. Well, if we stay here
much longer | will be entitled to a
, furlough. and will see some of the
large cities and have a chance to COL
lect some souvenirs. Have seen some
German helmets, guns and bayonets
and would like to get some. They are
difficult to get just now, but they will
be more plentiful later on.
Well, Tom, l have often thought
how we used to talk about the war
together. and l guess we were good
prophets as it ended just about the
time we predicted and think every
body is satisfied that it has. am not
a very good pupil in learning French
language, but can talk we'll enough to
get by. When l get back home we
can talk it over and l suppose l will
spoil some cloth for you same as
| usual.
l have had excellent good health
since joining the army up until two
+! weeks ago, when I had to go to the
hospital with a mild case of Spanish
influenza and tonsilitis, but am in
| good condition again.
l will close now hoping this letter
finds you in good health.
With best regards to you and fam
| lily. l remain,
Your friend
PVT. HARRY J. GOODMAN.

TEAMS TO MEET

Brunswick, Me, Feb. 11.-Definite
word has been received by Manager
Lewis w. Brown Of the Bowdoin
track team from the track officials at
Bates College that the freshmen re-
Law teams of the two colleges will
compete as in years past. The Bow
dom freshman team will go to Lew
iston, March Is, and run the fresh
man team from Bates in connection
with the interclass meet which is
scheduled for that night. The fol-
lowing night the Bates team will
come to Brunswick and compete with
the freshmen team here in connection
with the inter-fraternity Friday
night. March IA.
1t was thought for q while that this
event which has been the custom of
the two colleges for the past eight
years would have to be abandoned
owing to the fact that Bates College
will have no varsity track this year.
In these eight years Bowdoin's fresh
man team has always been the win
ner.
Coach MCGEE has an excellent nu-
cleus for a freshman team this year.
Frank G. Averill, Old Town: Edward
A. Hunt, Braintree, Mass: George A.
Partridge, Augusta and Roliston c.
Woodbury., Saco. four promising var
sity relay men. are freshmen and will
undoubtedly compromise the fresh
man relay team against Bates. Aver
i'll is captain of the freshman track
team and he and Edward Hunt are
standing among the highest in the
time trials Of the varsity squad. Both
these men will probably run for the
Bowdoin relay team at the B. A. A
meet in Boston. March I.
