Lee Says Pay Days
Are Far Apart

Soldier boys doubtless have right
sometimes to complain little, how
ever, they do little of 1t so far as
their letters are concerned. If pay
days came little oftener and mail
service was little better they would
like 1t better. In letter to his
mother. Mrs. d. b. Hersperger, one
of these soldier boys, Clyde II. Lee.
finds pay-days far between and mail
a little glow. -41ts letter In -psxtstA3s
lows:
There is so little to write about
here that 1t is hardly any use writing
at all except to let you know we are
still on top. We have been having
a bit of snow and cold weather the
past week or two and it reminds me
of home little. This is a pretty
country here in the summer time
imagine. but now that the ground Is
snow-covered it doesn't look SO nice.
The country is very hilly-almost
mountains. and il looks fine when one
climbs to the top of big hill and
looks around at the rest of the coun-
try. 1t is almost like being up in an
aeroplane for we can see up and down
the Rhine for several miles and the
big hills on each side. There are
tugs with three or four targes loaded
with freight hitched on behind, going
up and down the river all the time
and they Just barely move as the
current is so swift.
"There are lots OF deer and rab-
bits in these hills as the German
people haven't been allowed to kill
them since the war started. Machine
gun men carry an automatic pistol
instead of rife, otherwise I might
be tempted to try and kill deer.
Every day or so We pull off sham
attack on these hills but think we
hfve most of them captured now. ]
don't know what We will do when
we run out of hills.
II wonder II any of the Ordway
boys besides myself are in the army
of occupation.
Some Personal Points
Has Billy Edgar got home yet?
/ suppose he and all the rest of the
boys will be married and settleiT
down by the time get out. 1t looks
certain that we are not going to be
turned loose any ways near soon.
II got a letter from Ralph Ellis
the other day. He is stationed in
Paris and has been ever since he
came across, and did not get to get up
to the front. suspect Delbert
thought 1t rather hard at first to get
along on so little money as army pay
and pay-days are so rar apart, but
he gets paid once n month anyhow.
and that is oftener than he would
If he was in the A. e. F. haven't

Pasadena, Cal, on Monday evening,
March 3, 1919. after an illness which

ing his death was sent by his son.

for several years. About three years

known men in Crowley county. as he
resided here for a number OF years.
The family home was on their ranch
