R. Bridges, head proofreader of The Oregonian, contains a report of an interesting let ter received by Mr. Joscelyne. of the Bifurcated & Tubular Rivet Company, Ltd., from Gunner- R. E. Bridges, of the Royal Garrison Artillery, in the British Mediterranean expeditionary force. The latter is a brother of the Portlander. "It is a barren land, indeed," writes Mr. Bridges in describing the Gal lipoli Peninsula. "There is nothing but mountains, rocks, thorns and flies on one side, and the sea on the other. The only real excitement about our life here is dodging the shells." The landing was, he says, "hell pure and simple," but he is thankful to say he has got safely through so far and that he and his officer and a chum have made themselves quite comfortable in their dugout. His 19-year-old son is also at the front. Letters which both Mr. and Mrs. Bridges, of Portland, have received from their numerous relatives now en gaged at the front relate that the loss of life has been far heavier than was necessary, the Britishers attacking so Impetuously that they either could not or would not heed their officers orders to retire." Mr. Bridges' mother writes that liv ing expenses are considerably higher in England now than they formerly were, but that otherwise conditions are about normal at home. During the air raids on London, she says, the explo sions can be heard miles away. GLEE CLUB TO APPEAR University of California Organiza tion Billed for November 12.
