LAST EAGLE LAUNCHED
AT FORD sHIPYARD
500 Ford Bodies Daily to BE Made
In Plant

Ford Eagle Boat Number Sixty
the last one to be built by the
Ford Motor Company under the
stipulations of its wartime con-
tract with the Navy Department
was launched at the River Rouge
(Detroit) yard August 18th at 3D.
so D. M, and the long assembling
building which is a third of mile
long and housed twenty-one of the
submarine chasers at time, is al
ready being transferred into body
building plant with proposed out
put of so bodies daily.
Ford officials, workers, sailors
and many invited guests witnessed
the launching. Number Sixty was
dressed with flags and bunting and
as it found its level in the Rouge
and foated free from the railroad
tracks which had carried IL into the
elevator-like launching table, the
factory whistle took part in the
ceremony by blowing sixty blasts
one for each boat launched at the
Ford Yard.
Twenty-Five Eagles have already
been commissioned by the Navy,
and it is expected that the remain
ing boats will be entirely completed
by November LIST. One thing which
greatly prolonged the work was the
changes made in the QUILTING OF
the boats shortly after the armis-
tice was signed. AS rapidly as the
Eagles are commissioned, they are
joining different squadrons of the
L. S. Fleet: Six of the Ford boats
are going to the PHILIPPINES to re-
place six old destroyers and gun
boats; another squadron will join
the International Patrol off the
coast of China: Eagles / =, ., and ,
Gre now doing patrol duty adjacent
to Archangel, Russia, and it is quite
probable that small fleet will be
sent to Italy.
The Eagles were designed parti-
cularly to carry the submarine de-
tecting devices or listeners, depth
bomb protectors and three-inch
guns with which to combat the u
boat once il had been located by the
listener They are practically
noiseless in operation, light, speedy
and so constructed that quick
getaway is possible it being nee
essary to often stop to listen while
chasing down a detected sub. Had
the submarine destroyers been call
ed into actual service which only
the signing of the armistce prevent
ed they would have operated in
fotillas of three.
Commander Nicholas. stationed
at the Rouge Yard, said he knew of
no statement or report issued by
,ho Navy Department relative to the
merits of the Eagles but that they
have performed remarkably well on
heir trial trips and all tests given
hem Just before leaving the Ford
Yard. And that had they been call
I'd into actual service, they would
ave proven very formidable enc
ny to the submarines.

very much to be back at oil Cape

the time will come.
Hope you have been getting my

from you but once in two months. I'm
sure you have written many times,
but my mail has been delayed in trans
mission through my old Company. /
haven't heard from George, yet,
either, since he was wounded and
sent to hospital, but feel sure his
wound was not serious and the reason
haven't heard from him is the delay
in mails. No doubt you've heard from
him before now. I'm sure he is we'll

Precious darling, you have left us;
You were our pride and Joy;
We loved you, oh. perhaps, too well,
For soon you slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts to-day;

Has forever passed away.

Dear Dad-WilI write you few
lines, as we can write most anything
we want to. The first thing I'll tell
you is some OF the places I've been.
We left Hoboken, N. Y, August IS,
landed at Liverpool, August 2s; from
Liverpool to Winchester and stayed
few days, then to southampton
There we got another boat; rode
across the English channel to Cher
bourg, France.
God only knows the different towns
we have been in here in France. We
are at Longey, or at leaat we are near
there in some branch in the woods.
I've sure seen lots of sights while
over here. They work cows and
horses together, or dogs and cows,
or just any way to get themselves q
team.
I've seen one dog pulling cart with
a good size family in it. But you ought
to see the roads they have here. They
are simply grand; but that is all that
I'veseen of France that I can say .
good word for. We have walked
several miles over here and I guess
you remember. how bad I hated to
walk; never would go any where when
| was at home without had q fine
horse and saddle. But I've just about
forgotten there ever was such thing
as horse and saddle. And the worst
thing I've been broke the most of the
time and that is another thing never
was used to. But I've got two months
pay coming now; think it will last me
until l get home.
Glad to hear you are getting along
so well putting up your mill. Guess
you have to pay pretty dear for hands
now days. Have you bought any
cattle this fall? Arthur Smyth had
a letter from home and they had sold
their cattle, and they sure sold them.
Dad, the weather is fair here, al
though the mornings are frosty and
cold. We get up about six O'Clock
and that's another thing that goes
against my nerves, for always was
sleepy In the morning.
But, after all, army life is not SO
bad for we don't have to work hard.
The drill hours are not long, and we
are close to town, and go to town
most every night.
/ Potter, Smyth and / are in the
woods, got little fire built up and all
gathered around writing letters.
Dad, this is Sunday evening, 2:20
o'clock. wander what you and the
rest of the folks are doing. This is
the way spend Sunday afternoon,
sitting by the fire trying to think of
something to write to you all.
/ will close hoping to hear from you
all soon.
AS ever, your son,

prised to get letter from me, il this
one will reach you. I think it will be
the first one you ever received from
me, is it not?
