moved to another camp. About all we
do here Is to go tor 'hikes,' but we
get them nearly every day.
"We were marched to another camp
not tar away. On Decoration Day, we
were marched to another camp, where
the day was observed.
'A few days ago. while we were out
on a 'hike' we passed a place where
they were threshing wheat, so our of
ficer allowed us to rest at this point,
and here we watched them perform
their duties as threshers. There is no
wonder that the threshing la so late
here. The outfit Is so small that it
looks like It would take them a week
to thresh out a stack.
"It has been pretty warm during
the time we have been stationed here,
but the nights are very comfortable
and are rather cool. As we are allow
ed seven blankets each, you know
that we will not frece. Oar bed la
rather hard, as we are sleeping on the
ground.
"We see quite a few British sol
diers who have been at the front, and
It is sure Interesting to hear them toll
ot .their experiences.
"It seems that we are moving
around all the time. We have already
made our third camp while here. We
have been in this camp for about a
week, but will probably remain here
for quite awhile.
"Since arriving In this camp, there
Is no lying around,' but we have to
work all day, working In shops anil
hangers with aeroplanes. I have been
working on smashed up machines, re-
moving the fittings and cloth. When
there is a smashed machine brought
In. I am with the bunch that usually
get them. We went out about ten
miles after a machine a few days ago,
and today we made three trips to town
after machines that were sent there
on cars.
"This Is a regular enmp. There are
even girls working here, and when
we eat, there Is a canteen at the rear
of our men's hall, w hore we can get
beer. If we desire, this being Included
in our dinner. Some class! I usually
have a drink before I eat.

different things here. It Is pretty hard
at times to understand what the Brit

meaning 'lny off,' they call this 'wash
