1t. Claude Martin
Tells Of Life
In German Prison

In an interesting letter to his
mother, Mrs. c. w. Martin of Pas
cagoula, Lit. Claude c. Martin
gives the first extensive story of
how life goes as a German pris-
oner of war, that has been re-
.ceived in this locality.
In ii 1t. Martin speaks of GO
ing ice skating after he had been
taught how by a professional
skater and adds, Cant you pic
ture me skating when the most
ice | ever saw was in Mississippi
at the Gautier Ice House. Win
ter is setting in, and the shorter
days r getting cooler and we
are having lots of rain"
1t. Martin mentions football
and baseball and says Our thea
tire holds about 300 and we have
to run in order to obtain seats.
Many have to stand" SO it seems
that the men have some forms of
amusement.
They also have church services
for 1t. Martin says that he at
tends church faithfully every
Sunday; that the minister is a
good one, an English Methodist
chaplain. He also says that the
men have plenty of cigarettes
and that he has received two per-
sonal packages.
According to the writer there
are eight men in his room and
they cook their meals together. He
promises his mother to cook her
a cake and a pie when he gets
home. But he adds that he much
prefers her cookery.
The letter was written before
Christmas and so 1t. Martin clos
es it by wishing his relatives and
friends a merry Christmas and
says, "I'll be with you the next
time these holidays come"
1t. Martins wife and their
baby, born August z, 1914, are
residing in McComb until he
comes home.
