LETTER NO. 31. LE MANS, France. Gordon J. Tay lor of Mollala, Oregon, the "Y" lecturer on "Dad," has Just returned from two months with the army of oc cupation in Germany. I met him as we were leaving Paris and we came to Le Mans together and with Miss Tom linson of the "Y" lecture bureau. We gave a "double header" program at Salvage camp in a tent which held about 200 boys. "Dad"- is an interest ing lecture, good and witty, keeping the boys in a gale of laughter. I have run into a bunch of Oregon men here. Will Warren, formerly of the Oregonian, who is now publicity man for the Y. M. C. A.; O. L. Ferris, who is business director and secre tary of the Le Mans area; L. A. Alder man, who is with the army educa tional commission, now lecturing in this area; Rex H. Lampman, who is Just leaving for Paris, here he is to be on the staff of the Stars and Stripes, the army newspaper: Charles E. Len nor, attorney of Portland, who is now back from his "leave" and because ot his previous good work will be as signed a good position here, and W. E. Bayles of McMinnville, who is making good in his work In the camps here. I have also met H. L. Gilkie of Grants Pass, who is here temporarily in the P. O. He goes to Paris in a few days to work in the "sightseing depart ment." Mr. Gilkie has three sons in the army. Lieutenant H. J. Gilkie is in Paris in the food commission: Ser geant E. C. Gilkie is at Camp Upton. N. Y.. and Corporal W. K. Gilkie is stationed at St. Nazaire, France. When Gordon J. Taylor gave his lec ture on "Dad" at the Polish camp, of course not many of them could under stand him. but a young English-speaking Pole told us that before midnight every man of the 300 in the camp would know all that he had said. Those that did understand would tell the rest. To night I gave my bird slides and the Oregon movies for the third time at this camp, with an interpreter, to an equally enthusiastic crowd. There are a new lot of Poles Just in from a pris on camp. They are Austrian Poles who were forced into the German army and 'then captured by the French. After being prisoners for 17 months, they are now being re-outfitted by the French and will be cent home to Poland. It is a rare treat to hear them sing their native songs.
