We gave It to the purser on the boat before we got to port and in about ten minutes (what followed hero in the letter was erased by the censor) Not so sure about the safe arrival, but it turned out allriglit. L. K., Diven, Moudy Harris, Cole, Wetzler and myself were all on the boat and we are all O. K. .Welcomed to City. We were sure given the glad hand when we got here. Everyone was tickled to death to see us. There are not hardly any more men here at all. The women work on the street cars, the streets, delivery wagons and ev srywhere. There arc a fqw English soldiers here some are wounded and others are on leave. They have sure been having a hard fight over there ind we may go over in about three .veeks. I would certainly like to get some mail, but I guess it will be a long time before any catches up with me, but I hope all is well at home. I am writimr Jn the armv Y. M.

There aro a bunch of coons here; they are English sol- licrs from the British West Indies, j They talk American and are entertain ' ing us now. There are a few writing at my table and you bet they can beat me slinging jnk. We did not go to bed on 'the boat until after it got to port and we kept our life belts on all the time. There were none of us going to take any chances, you bet. The houses here are nil brick. I haven't seen a wooden one yet. They are covered with shingles and all look alike to me. The rail roads look like toy railroads. The cars are divided into five sections, and the scats run crosswise and are not connected. The doors open at the side. The freight cars are really very small and hold only about C to 10 tons. They are fastened together with chains but they travel pretty well. Boat Was Torpedoed. We were on the boat 25 days and one more trip is all I care about home. The Germans tried hard to get our boat but we got by. They sent word that they were gonig to try and got us, but we put one over on them. The ship is about 700 feet long and holds 23,000 tons, so it would have been a rich prize for those cowardly Dutchmen. There nre lots of Fords and Buicks here, but they turn to the left and it keeps you guessing which way they are going. Well I guess I will quit. Wo will stay at Southampton until further or- HiMiiiinBiii TO CONTROL COAL Fled J. Homes of La Grande is Su preme Regulator of Coal Trices in Oregon.

Dear Folks: I am getting along fine yet, and like England, and especially the girls they get real lonesome now, as there are very few boys left We have signed up for schooling, they call it the "Salvage School" so I think wo will take care of the wrecked machines and fix 'em up again. If they don't expect nnything but shop work from us wo will get along fine. I will be in England somewhere I think qlose to London I hope so as I want to sec that big town. The wea ther is very rainy the same way Portland is in the winter so the people don t pay much attention to it. I heard that the torpedo hit our boat, but did not explode.- That's gett ing pretty darned close I think., I would like to have some of moth er's canned fruit. The sugar is scarce here. They only get one pound a week per family. Must close, as I want to get this letter in early as tho mail goes across about every oncu in so often. Love from, Robert. In London. London, England, Sept. 25. Dear Folks: Will drop you a few lines to day. We left Southampton Sept. 20 and Harris and I came here. We are the only ones out of our squadron that stopped when wo did. There are 25 men in the bunch. We were quar tered in a big 4 story hotel. I haven't gotten to visit Londan yet, but will later. Wo are in a sort of a suburb district. I saw Buckingham palace where the King lives when he is in London, and I am going to .see the rest of it too before long, because it may be a long time before I get to stop in this burg again. There were several cases of mumps on board and I guess Elmer and I got them. At present they have us in quarantine, but hope to be over the mumps soon, and back to work again. We have received no mail as yet. Mus close we expect to be in Lon don about three months. Love from Robert. 1 London, England, Oct. 3. Dear Folks: All kinds of mall received to day and maybe you think I wasn't glad to get it. The fog is so thick here today that people have to carry lights when they go out into it in order to be able to find their way. I little dreamed this time last year that this winter I would have the pleasure of spending "abroad." Even at that will certainly be glad when we can come back to the "states." We expect to be out of quarantine and back to work the 10th. We haven't heard a word from the other boys since we landed. Well, I will have to close.
