After leaving Guam our next sight
Of land was Samar, one OF tho Philli-

about four or five days to go through
them. We landed in Manila Bay Just
Outside of the city Saturday night too
late to so ashore, but VIC got off next
morning as soon as possible.
Manila is certainly queer and in
teresting old town with many signs OF
Spasish ownership. Part Of the city is
closed in by great wall and is called
IntroMuros. This was defense
built by the Spaniards, and all the
buildings are very old and out Of date
with narrow alleys for streets. The
main part Of the town is built around
this wall and looks somewhat like q
U. S. town except for the population
which is little of everything most
ly dark. The big business places
though are run by Americans as you
would naturally expect. | think most
every nation is represented except the
Israelites, and it must be too hot for
them.
These natives are certainly curiosi-
ties and it surely makes one appre-
ciate the United States when they get
a glimpse Of their mode OF living
Their houses are built Of bamboo, COW
cred with grass and high off the
ground. They are very socialistic, es-
pccially kind to animals, allowing
them the same privileges as their
children, and the house is open to all
comcrsfi hogs included. 1t is a puzzle

MANILA TO AN ARMY OFFICER

The following letter has been re-
ceived during the past few days by
Mr.. IL. S. Bolt from his son, Lieut..
LELAND Bolt, U. S. A, who was recent
ly sent to Manila, Phillipen Islands,
with the 45th Infantry:
TT. Mckinley
Manila, P. l.,
April 81, 1921.
Dear Papa:
I'll write few lines to let you
know what is going on in this heathen
world over here.
We landed o X from the good ship
Logan after twenty-eigh long days on
the high seas. The weather was fine
all the way, no storms at all, and it
was very delightful trip and quite
a revelation to me. 1t is just impos-
sible to conceive Of the Pacific till you
try to cross it, and then after spending
weeks in the journey it is quite a
mystery to know where all the water
comes from, but I tell you land was
the most pleasant sight that we saw
in the entire trip and it was like q
rush to a gold mine getting off when
we finally docled at Manila. l wrote
home from Honolulu, but that's ever

also met one Of my old friends from
Camp Grant and another one from
San Antonio; they are in the govern
ment service over here. This world Is
not so large after ALL for ten thous-
and miles does not separate all ac-
-duaintances and everywhere l go l
meet some one I have seen formerly.
We are stationed at TT. Mckinley
just outside Of Manila and 1t Is a very
pretty place. We have the Philippine
Scouts, and they are the best soldiers
l have seen anywhere. Their only
trouble is understanding English, and
it is quite a job to met much out of
some OF them when it comes to Eng
lish. They are proud Of their uni
form and will do anything for us. and
too, they don't bother about booze
which is unlimited over here, thus the
attraction for the booze hounds.
If anyone should ask you whether
it is hot over here just ask them if
fire burns, for it certainly is. How
ever, il is not tho same heat as i've

Of. One good thing though it is cool
at night which makes it very fine 1t
was quite a change in climate for me,
