in France, Corrects ErrO-

Correcting false and conflicting re-
ports as to present conditions at Brest
the Great French port Of debarkation
for American troops, II. Ward, former
Baldwin hotel man, now engaged in
Y. M. C. A. work in France, writes
The Tribune as follows:
Brest, France.
March 7, 1919.
Bismarck Tribune.
Bismarck, N. D..
Dear Sirs:-
am going to write you briefly from
Brest, France and let you know how
the big camp looks to a N. Oak man.
I've been here at the big camp, or
or Pontenezan Brks., to give the
French name, for the past six months.
Have been driving a car in camp al
most all of that time, SO have Il fair
ly good idea of conditions here now,
and as they have been. There is no
question but that this was a bad stop
ping place last fall and winter and
that is all | will say about the past
part OF it, except that TIC camp was
"in the making" in TACT nine months
ago there was no camp here, except
the old stone barracks covering about
ten acres and capable of accommodate
ing about 800 troops. Now we have
about 10000 or more here and may
have many more than that, and be able
to take care Of them well. This camp
is now a good one. No mother need
worry over the fact that her son will
have to go through Brest on way
home for we have fine roads, side
walks everywhere, plenty Of barracks,
good water and a really good, sanitary
from even two months ago. And our
boys are not kicking. That's the best
proof that this place is O. X. They
come here on their way home andare
almost unanimous in saying that this
place is better than the camps they
left. So don't worry any more about
your boy having to lay out in the mud
while in Brest for he will be we'll
taken care of here. | have lust re-
turned from a few days visit to my
sons area in the Advanced Section
war thru Chateau Thierry, Chalons
5 and many other battle SCARED towns
l saw thousands Of our boys every
where and can say that they are the
same fine, cheerful, healthy chaps you
see them pictured to be in our maya
zines at home. OF course, they want
to 90 home, but are, as rule, not
overimpatient about it. My boy has
been driving an ambulance for the
past six months and has had some eX-
perienCes that arc better to tell about
than to 60 thru, but is glad to have
had them at that Trusting these
few lines may be a means of prevent
ing some worry by the folks at home,
