The following is a section of a let ter written by Private Paul J. Cook, a La Grande man, who enlisted in the United States Marine Corps on May 4, 1917. His father, Mr. A. A. Cook, now resides at 1305 Pennsylvania ave nue, La Grande, Ore. , I am still safe and sound and never felt healthier or happier in my life, and as for going to France, if I go at all, it will be a long time yet, I may. be sent to the tropics, as the mar-! ines are rough and ready fighters who i fear neither man or devil, and their , work is mainly to defend the Monroe I doctrine. Hut if T should go to! France, I should face it liko a manj and leave the rest to God. I have no ! fear of battle and do not worry. I : love this healthy huppy and broaden-! ing military life. I am no longer a! recruit, and am an old soldier com-: pared with Floyd. I have been all through training camp, have master-; ed the manuel of arms, the footdrills, I the intracacies of military etiquette, ; the duties of orderly, have done guard duty in dangerous and responsible po-' sitions, stood watches long or short, 1 hot in day or cold at night, chnllcng- ing, saluting officers. Stopping ties- passers, recognizing credentials and '. identification of authorized persons, j and all the duties of a full fledged I' marine. I have also assisted as or- j derly for martial court and assisted i in the impressive ceremony of colors, which means the morning raising of "Old Glory ' to the top of the mast, I while the four trumpeters play the ! "Star Spangled Banner.' I am proud i to be a real marine, a volunteer of ; your uncle. The mental and physical j standard are the highest, the men being noted for their bravery, polite-1 ness and fidelity to duty. In fact our j motto is "Semper Fidelis." We have! heavy woolen overcoats and also a j "poncho" which is a large rubber sheet which has an opening for the I head with a flap which buttons about j the neck and completely shields us from wind and rain. As for liberty we have 19 and a half hours a day and drill one hour a day five days a week. The food here is excellent and pro fuse. Hence I am six feet tall and 28 pounds to the foot. We are quarter ed at the exposition grounds here at San Diego. The beutiful buildings arc still standing. It is certainly fine here jn fact e'est la paradise. Since writing this letter Private Paul J. Cook has been transferred several times and is now at Guantnna mo, Cuba.

'1 dunno wot's the matter wid you chaps today, but, as I 'av remarked more'n once before thank Gawd wo got a navy." The old sergeant whose arm had been torn off by "a bit 'o shrap nel" was drilling a squad of raw re cruits. "Ow the ell you chaps think ye're going' to whack the 'Uns when yo don't know 'ow to at-the-'alt-on-thc-right-form-platoon 'ang t nil, ye chaps ought to know by this time Now try it again." "Of course, I know 'ow you feel about it. You're fed up, ain't ye? 'An ye think ths drill is all 'umbug 'an eyewash." "Ye can take my word for it, drills the thing wots goin' to win this war. Anybody can be a blinkin' 'ero and do the death and glory stunt, but it takes a man to do 'is drill in the field as steady as Vd do it 'ere on chip parade ground." "Let me tell ye 'ow I learned the good 'o driil. It was doorin' the re treat I was in charge a party all'o 'em trained soldiers when we come to a place where the 'uns was chuwin' up the ground wj machine guns. Them was the days we 'adn't got no Lewis guns at all, an only about a undrcd machine guns in the ole Iint sh army. Makes ye laugh to think on it. I can swear we done no laughin'." " 'An wot did drill do eh ? I'll tell ye. Soldiers they was and they knew their drill backwards. I gave the or der to six paces extend. 'An they done it without turnrn' a 'air, 'an went up to the 'un and gave 'im bbi7.es. 'An how many casualties 'ad we, do ye think. Two. That was all. One chap was killed 'an another wounded. That was me, see." "Now, if we ad been a lot 'o blinkin' 'eroes, instead of a let 'o soldiers wot'd 'ave 'appened, eh ? We'd all a been casualties. If ever ye git into a corner like to was in you'll thank Oawd for the .lit 'o drill ye was taught 'ere on this paiaile grounu." Camp Lewis Notes C Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 22 Military authorities here today are endeavoring to locate a historic flag snatched from the hands of Allie Bailey of Sacramento, who was given the ibanncr for heroism while a bat tlefield nurse in the Civil war. She has appealed to Major General Greene for aid. "I am so lonesome without the companion of my youth," she wrote. "Everything I ever loved is gone now. I know that I am a back number myself, but that flag is our flag which should never be a back number." The aged nuisc turned out with her battered flag to see the Sacramento boys leave. As the train pulled out, one of the soldiers-to-be grabbed it from her. The Sfith engineers' regiment is planning a relay race Thanksgiving day from tha Tacoma Stadium to Mayor General Greene's headquarters. Men in hospital units arc develop ing their sense of direction. They are making maps, estimating distance and studying various methods to prevent being lost. Getting" lost on a battle feld is a serious matter and the train ing is expected to prevent it.
