Walter (Scoop) Young, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Young, whose
friends are always Interested to know
j-,ist what he Is doing and where he
is located, is at Camp Mills. N. Y.
He is a member of Company C Eighth
Infantry. In writing home a few days
ago Walt gives an idea as to the pa
triotic spirit of the Eastern people
when the soldiers are passing through
from the West and on their way to the
training camps in the East or to
France. It was a few days ago that
his company passed through some of
the largest cities of the East where
they were given a most cordial re
ception, especially in the city of
Cleveland. Ohio, Whistles blew, and
every train that was passed the engi
neers worked overtime in giving a
blast from their engine whistles. Peo
ple cheered, and WTalt says even the
does were glad to see them for they
barked and wagged their tails as the
soldiers hove In sight, and continued
to do so until he last coached disap
peared. They were given fruits and
de'icacies at th,is city, and also In
others as they passed through. It was
midnight when they passed, through
Chicago, and Walt regretted this for
It was near his old home town. Ev-e-ything
was pretty quiet when the
soldiers passed through that city.
Jack Bannon. son of Mrs. Bannon, of
Gladstone, who has been with Wal
ter since leaving here, is also at Camp
Mills. He was heard from by his
mother last Saturday, and was enjoy
ing the best of health, as was also
"Scoop." These two young men are
thoroughly enjoying army life, and
have already seen much of the coun
try, and are anxious to cross the
"Pond" before returning to Oregon
City.
"In Young's letter he said he was
delighted to see Wallace Mass, who
was at Camp Mills, and was delight
ed also to see the Oregon City boys.

Joseph A. Miller, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jacob Miller, who enlisted in
the navy, is at the U. S. Naval hos
pital in Brooklyn, New York, with
the Hospital Corps, If. Y. Miller says
that it Is pitiful to see some of the
boys returning home from war maim
ed from bullets from the Hun guns.
Some have one leg gone, while others
have both gone, and white others
have an arm off, but all are cheerful.
It is planned by some of the young
women of Oregon City to send box
es to this hospital contlnjng choco
lates, smokes and gum, and Miller
will be In charge of the distribution
of the gifts. These will be sent in
short time. Cards illustrating some of
the Oregon City beautiful scenery and
buildings in order to give the injured
soldiers an idea as to Oregon City
from which comes the sma'l gifts.
Scrap books are also to be sent this
hospital, and these also to contain
pictures of Oregon City with interest
ing poems and articles.

In a letter to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. E. T. Mass, of this city, Walter
Mass, wagoner with Battery B, Second
Field Artillery, hag probably arrived
safely over-seas by this time, and is
more in love with the golden West
than ever since passing through some
of the Eastern states. In his letter re
ceived on Saturday morning from the
young man written in New York be
fore bis departure, he said that proba
cy by the time the letter wag re
ceived by the parents in Oregon City
that he would be in Franco. He also
gave a graphic description of some
of his trip Eastward since leaving
Fort Sill. Oklahoma. Among the
states he passed through were Arkan-I
sas, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland,
Pennsylvania and New York. He fur
tner says: "I have seen some of New
York an other Eastern sUites, jbut
as soon as I return from France, it's
me for Oregon. I would not live any
where else than in the Golden West."
Mass is tipping the scales at 175
pounds, and makes a handsome sol
dier. He is one 'of the popular boys
from Oregon City in the service.

In a letter to Beldon jGanong, of
this city, from Walter (Bud) Kelly,
now stationed at Camp Meade, Bal
timore, Md., and who is with Com
pany K, Sixty-third Infantry, he gives
some of his experience in camp. In
his letter he says, "I received your
most welcome letter a few days ago,
and was glad to hear from you, but
could not answer it right away, as I
had to do a whole lot of tra reboot
ing' and I will tell you a funny Inci
dent that happened in that game, I
was way up and over $200 winners,
and we were right down on tho kitch
en floor, and was trying to pull a
tounh point' I think It was 10 or 4
anyhow, I was sure talking to those
dice, but when an officer comes In,
you have got to sing out "attention"
and all get up and take this position
of a soldier. Well, anyhow one came
tn, and one 'sounded off. We all got
up. I glanced around and who do you
think said Rest' It was 'Doc' (Cap
tain Ren Holsclaw.) 1 did not know
that he was on this side of Oregon.
We had a good time together, and he
told me a'l about 'over there.' I let
him In on a couple of my best "hits'
and proceeded with the game, 'Doc'
has now left for West Point. Ky., and
he came to bid me goodbye. Well,
'Bex,' that was about the most excite
ment. I ever had in the army, so I
think that's all I let you in on for
this time."

than a farm district. There arc lots of
shoe factories there. The art of porce

plenty of time to run around the city

"I got my train out at 12:00 o'clock
(noon) and arrived at the next stop
about 3:00 P. M. It took only a little
while to finish my business there
and when I studied the time table I
found I w,as only a few hou-s run
from Paris. Well, my orders did not
take me to Paris, but I thought I'd
take a try at it anyway. So I got a
train and landed tn Paris about 9:30
P. M. I thought at first I wouldn't be
able to get In but after I told the Mil
itary Police how on account of my
train being late I had missed my con
nection for Bordeaux, so they gave
me a pass for twenty-four hours. I
went to a hotel and In the morning
went to the Y. M. C. A. headquarters
to see if by chance I could locate Bur
gess Ford. I found out that he was In
the advance section. Then I happened
to remember that Mollis Rose was
over here, so I asked where she waa
and found she was working in tho ac
counting division right upstairs. She
was out at the time but I went down
stairs and waited in the lobby. Pret
ty soon here she came and didn't see
me until I stepped out in front of her
and I don't think I ever saw any one
more surp-ised Uian he was. She got
the day oft and went with me to see
the sights. I certainly talked her to
death. You see she had como away
more than a year since I had and it
did seem so good to talk with some
one from home an especially a wom
an. I took her to dinner with me. After
dinner we walked around th garden
of the Tuileries and The Champs
Elysees. Then she went home after In
viting me to come and have lunch
with her and another Y. M. C. A. wo
man at their rooms. Then I nosed
around by myself and saw what
sights I could and got Ivy a pair of
gloves. I caught my train out at 8:30
P. M. arriving here 7:00 o'clock the
next morning. I will draw seven
cents from the government for every
mile I traveled except about on hun
dred miles. Igot to seo a lot of new
country central France and had such
a nice visit.
"The gun came through all right
and it looked mighty good to me.
"What do you think of the news of
the war? I am just afraid -to breathe
out loud for fear something will hap
pen, but I really do feel that unless
something awfully unforeseen happens
that peace will come very soon. Even
if no attention is paid to Germany's
bid for peace she is certainly totter
ing and will surely have to give in
in a few months. Oh, I do pray that
it will end soon, and I know you do
too. But, of course, we want it to end
right and not half way. Well, we will
soon know what Is going to happen.

from France, and from Sergeant Wal
do E. Caufield, of tho Intelligence
Section, First Division, Ameriacan E.

France, September 19, 1918.
"I have valued very highly the pa
pers from home that I have recently
received, although I receive a .good
many letters they cannot contain the
news of the whole town as the papers
do. In several of these papers V have
read of action 'Over Here,' in which
I have taken part, as well as many
interesting Items from around home,
"Of late I have met some reporters
or should say 'correspondents.' For In
stance I have met such men as Her
bert Corey, Jimmy Hoper, Ferguson
and Arthur Ruhle. Samuel Blythe was
in the same area', and I saw him, al
though I did not meet him.
"This summer has sure been a rev
elation to me. Today L would not
change places with any member of Mr,
Wilson's army, as they have not been
In action that 1 have, and I sure en
Joyed it, although I have passed
through a few things that have not
been very enjoyable.
"I suppose the old town is about
the same as before the boys all left
it, Maybe it won't be so long before
some of the boys are home. If the Al-

two francs, or about 36 cents In our
money.
"But above all, we Ixiys over here
have the greatest of gratitude for
those that can't come as they sure are
not leaving a stone unturned for the
benefit of their Yankee boys across
the 'pond.'
"We are being made to feel every
day the deep Interest that Is being
taken In the boys of the American Ex
peditionary Forces and knowing that
the heart and sentiment of those are
amalgamated with us, as If one. There
Is not the slightest doubt in our minds
but what we will have the kaiser's
outfit going so fast they will forgot to
ever stop.
"There are lots of ancient towers
and castles over here that are very
hfttorlc. I visited one the other day,
where Napoleon stood and reviewed
his troops. These French towns are
very Interesting, that Is at first, with
all their stone buildings and cobble
stone street and walks. Every town
has its Bquare and all the streets lead
to It. They are plotted out just like a
cart wheel. This Is the country for
vine yards. I guess It is really the duty
of every French rancher to his country
to raise so many grapes. They are sure
great wine drinkers. '"
"They sure have some great lay-outs
over here. One will meet a farmer wltn
his whole family bund'ed in a one-
horse shay going to town; then may
be a little burro will be plugging
along pulling a load big enough for a
Studebaker truck to handle.
"Gee! But wouldn't I like to take a
and show them Yankee land and let
few of these Europeans to the States
them see what a country "worth while
Is really like. Just let them take a
glimpse how we do things, where
there is more life and animation than
Old Europe ever has seen, a place
where everything moves. No wonder
the United States doughboys say,
"let's go Over the top." The "good
night slogan" of the boys over here
is'Heaven, Hell or Hoboken by Christ

I'd gamble on a few months after
wards. Peace will only come when
there is not another Hun soldier that
will stand up and fight The kaiser
and his bunch of autocrats will oe

comes to any peace negotiations.

complete tour of France. Down
through the Pyrenees mountains,
Nlmes, Marseilles, Nice, Monaso, Mon
te Carlo, Mlnton and back to Laon
and to Paris back to camp. I will tell
you all about the trip when I return,
as I have seen many things that I can
not tell you now. I did not expect to
make such a trip when I started out,
but I have now seen all that a man
could in that length of time, for I had
to keep moving al .the time. I have
lots of cards from these places, and I
will send many of these to you Just
as soon as I have time. I had intend
ed writing you while I was gone, but
vas too busy.
"When f got here there was a letter
from you and several others from dif
ferent parties. Among these was one
from the Women's Patriotic Edition
of the Morning Enterprise committee
enclosing a $1.00 bill, and it came in
good, and I want to thank those In
charge of It for the gift. I sure did
appreciate It-
