for town, but are going to have quite
a feed aboard. .
I have been ashore several times
since I have been here. Cannot say
that I like it here very well, but guess
it will take some time to get used to
the people. There are amusement
places open and eating places. Most
.of the stores are open. The people
here are only allowed to buy so much
at a time. Food it quite high, but at
the Y. M. C. A. one can get a very
good ' meal very reasonable.
"We have been eating the first war
bread that we have gotten the last
few days, and it tastes good for a

we have been getting as much as one
wanted to each meal."

"Dear Mother:
"The last letter from yon came
June 7, this being dated May lj. This
is the last mail I have received, ex
cept one from Al and a paper from
Mrs. M., so I am looking for more
soon.
''I have been away again, but this
time not to the front, but to a seapor
town again. Not the same one 1 was
in before but entirely a different di
rection. It was a great trtp, and a
passed through some beautiful coun
try, and the best I have seen since ar
riving in France. There were large
fields, farm houses and much mor.'
prosperous villages. The wheat fields
made me long for Eastern Washing
ton once more. The wheat here ha?
headed out and is in blossom, as I
Imagine it would be there too this
time of the year. We also passed
through the most wonderful city of
France, stopping there for two nights,
and surely had a fine time. It is the
largest city I was even in. I rode on
the subway for the first time in my
life but let me tell you about the
meal we had there at the Y. M. C. A.
We had veal loaf, peas, rice, rice cust
ard, strawberries, chocolate cake and
Ice cream. The first Ice cream I have
had since being in France. You can
imagine how good it tasted, and a real
Bohemian girl waited on the table.
Such luck as this does not happen
to us often.
"The Hung pulled off an air raid
the night I was in that city, but did
not do much damage. We stayed out
in ths street until the French police
man chased us down In the subway,
but 'safety first' is the best, I guess.
"Of course the time we had there
was much too short for us but we
surely took advantage of it, and what
else we could while coming back, so
at present my 'shekels' are very low,
We git plenty to ef' and are well
clothed, so we boys can go without
money, if we don't have It at timf-s.
"Al is much more settled and sat
isfied now. He writes me that he has
passed ' another examination for the
flying school, which is fine.
"I have not heard from Rev. Mil

hello for me, I know that he is help
