CURTIS WRITES
 ,OF ARMY LIFE
 OVER IN FRANCE

gtorckceper of the Alaskan Engin- eering commission at Nenana, who IS now first lieutenant, U. s. army, and stationed in France, writing under date of November IT, tells interestingly of events transpiring over there and of former Alaskans met with who are with the colors. His letter, in part, is as follows:
 'I am now at one of the base ports, the name of which we are not allowed to state. l am assistant to the base quartcrmastcr, and in charge of warehouse issues and sales. The warehouses are immense affairs, covering acres of ground and even these are not large enough as we stock all sorts of material in the open. Yesterday, off of ono boat received 10000 cases of rubber boots for one item, so you can judge the amount of material we have to handle in one day. l was short handed yesterday, only had detail of 400 men. equal to about 200 good stcvcdores.
 We received one shipment yester- day that we had to put an armed guard over or we would have been short half of it before the day was over; 5000 cases of chocolate candy. The way those shines" would throw those cases about in the hope of them breaking open was fright. l sent three of them to the guard house and would have sent more had I caught them with the goods
 'It was worth travelling around the world to see the celebration of the French people on the signing of the armisticc. This city, like all large cities in France, kept up the celebration for couple of days Che three days after signing of the armlsticc it was almost impossible to move about. Crowds of soldiers sailors and girls marched up and down t'.N streets singing and shout | ing; every crowd had some sort of a band composed of from two to twenty pieces. My room overlooked the principal street and for two nights sleep was impossible.
 There are several Alnskans here at thls base. Jack Kerper is ad- jutant of an engineering battalion
 Hayes IS buck private in the same engineer organization. A couple of days ago an unshaved buck private came up to me and saluted; who should it be but our old friend the "Gangplank kid"; the same as ever. Before he asked how was he wanted to know if l had another cigar, He is with an infantry or ganization and has been here sev- cral months doing fatigue duty at the base.
 Jack Barker, who used to be with the land office. arrived on the last convoy. He was here scevral days and has now gone to the interior to training camp. He came over as casual captain of infantry. We have a dandy club here where
 one can get all the drinks on the calendar One barkeeper used to be
 in the Lambs Club. N. r., and i:
 some mixer. The meals are gooc and the waitrcsses all pretty French
 girls. They have just started ar addition to the club that will bt finished in couple of weeks. Ther, will be about 150 rooms for bas, officers. All the work is being don, by German prisoners.
 Let me hear from you, am anx ious to know how affairs are il Nenana, Best regards to all tn,
