ARE TAKEN" I5V GERMAN'S
The fortunes of war have over
taken the Portlaud ambulance dlvl
jion in France, according to lnforma
tion received In that city' through '
letter from Miss Shirley Eastham
and the unit of 21 ambulances and a
i.taff car are now in the hands of
the Hun.
It Is presumed that the machines,
which were the gift of the various
"Portland people, were captured dur
ing the opening phase of the great
offensive.
Miss Eastham, who Is a nurse In a
field hospital but a few miles behin 1
the firing line. In the service of the
T'rpucii government with the Over-
teas hospital unit, presents her ev
dence that the Portland ambulance
division has been captured in a let

"I have lately seen a lot of ambu
lances given by Portland people."
runs Miss Eastham's letter, speaking
of the machines which bring the hu
roan freightage from the front to the
fipld hosnltal. "One man, who drove
the one inscribed 'In memory of Hen
ry Failing,' came often, and always
stopped to chat with me while his
tmbulance was being unloaded.
"When I Thlssed him for a few
days, I asked another driver what
had happened, and he told me that
the Portland division, consisting of
22 ambulances and'their drivers had
leen captured by the Germans."
The completion of Portland's am
bulance fund was attained in May,
1917, when a fund of $.1S nno ha I
1 een subscribed or more than enough
for the purchase and equipment of
the ambulances, which were valued
at $1600 each. The Individual am
bulances were the gifts of various
Portland firms, corporations and pri
at citizens, and many were present
ed as memorials.
The unit was Introduced to France
with the American field service and
was the first of such units to be mili
tarized by the United States. It left
Paris for active esrvlce last October,
t-nd occasional word of It has been re
ceived in Portland through war let
ters .from ambulanclers who have
served with the unit.
It the unit has been captured, as
is, Indicated, it Has already written a
fclable history .of performance on the
field, "and its baptism of shell fire
look place long ago. Two of the am
1 ulances, the Hurns and Warren cars,
so named from the donors, are said
to have been destroyed by enemy
fire, while the Ainsworth car was
badly knocked about.

SOLDIERS' LETTERS
Elmer II. Ketchum sends the fol
lowing letter to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. George H Ketchum, of 75 Hel-
p.an street:
May 2.0, 191S.
Dear Ones:
Am trying to concentrate my
thoughts long enough to write you
a few lines, but from all the noises
f,olng on here I see no chance, but
will do my best.
lave had rather a bad
account of the rain which has con
tinued nov for about three days.
Well, I feel a little older than 1
did the night of Jjne 10. Yes, 23
years old and haven't any more
sense than 1 ever did.
Hud a bad fall today, but was
lucky enough not to get hurt. Fell
i.bont 1G feet from the top of a car
of lumber and did not even lose my
glasses. 'The boys all expected to
ilck me up with a few broken honp'a
Received our first lot of "army Is-
f(iie of to'mceo today, hach one was
given two bags of Durham and a
I'.ckage of cigarettes I understand
wo will bo issued the same amount
every ten days, so you see we are
arcd for In more ways than one by
old Uncle Sam.
Have you heard from any of the
firemen, dad? I don't think thev
will find It so "soft" as thry ex
pected to. They may get firing and
tliey may not.
Had a nay day since coming over.
'Vere all paid in French money and
1 had a wad of paper money big
enough to stuff a mattress. They
rave silver and paper money, silver
in one and tv:o franc denominations
and paper from five francs up. A
dollar of our money is about five
francs In Trench money, or one franc
h npro.'.lmately 20 cents. A person
gets used to Eieir money and talk
'cry euslly, at least I don't seem to
Hnd it so c'irticult.
The more I try the harder it Is t3
tli!nk of any thing worth while to
write, and as I am going to write
to grandmother this eve, will end
this before I run out of material.
Ti-ls Is a little of my French:
"Je rcix entendre d vous."
Au revoir
ELMER.
Glenn II. AfiGis, son of Mrs, Kath
erine Addi3 Carlson, and who was
with the Sun Drug Co. in Los An
geles, went to Camp Lewis about
six months ago with the southern
California troops, lie is now with
the medical corps 91st division, SGlst

tetter dated from there the Nth.

In McXair Bros, drug store of this
city :
Merrett Hall, July 8, 191 S.
Dear Mother: We are still in camp.
in fact, a good deal longer than we
expected to be. I went over to Xe v
York yesterday on a 12-hour pas's,
and saw a good deal of the city. Took
a Fifth avenue bus and saw all the -y
va3 to sea on that. Then we wand
ered around here and there, but all
r.t us agreed that the west is the
place for us, and that we would let
the Wops have Xew York. The peo
ple are certainly different..
We have our steel helmets now
and new clothing, leggings, etc. The
helmets weigh about three pounds.
However, they are well fitted and
padded, and, of course, we have our
other hats, too.
There are a thousand little inci
dents that I know would Interest
you, but really, a fellow should be
careful what he writes. I probably
won t receive any mail from you and
expect to ;;et it all in a bunch, but
don't stop writing, for God's sake,
because that Is what the boys are
going to need from now on letters,
and lots of them, and we will do ac
cordingly to you.
I just met a fellow druggist from
Lof Angeles, who came from another
cump. I hadn't seen him for a year.
It seemed strange to meet him here
In uniform. However, 1 am glad I
am in the army and doing my part.
Cood luck, dear mother, and good

Deifr Mother: After several days
ot rainy weather, we are enjoying
another fine day- and this French
climate is sure fiiil when it is bright,
too.( Then again It is sure disagree
able when it storms, also. I think
I said bofore that the soil here Is
the real 'old-fashioned sticky, so tlu
storm does not seem quite so bad to
me as to the rest of the outfit, inas-.
much as it sscmfd more like home.
w e eoiiian t do much worlt on the
buildings, of course, so. spent the
: tormy weather shoveling. It remind
ed me of the time I tried to dig the
(titcn for the pipe line from the well
tc the barn.
You will see that wo are now al
lowed to tell you where we are at
present, although I doubt if the town
is on any map you have unless it is
U;e big one on the ranch. However,
;t Is very near the center of Franc?,
about eight or ten miles from liour
ges. It's quite a romantic country,
too, as the barbarians of the north
ravaged the country 'way back before
the dawn of history, and since then
every guy who wanted to create t
disturbance has raided up and down
across these fields, leaving his marks
upon the country as best he could.
We are told that not many miles
from her? are caves in which the
tprly Gauls lived before the time of
their conquest by Caeser. A short
distance from here the Moors, under
the fanatic'sin of Mahomet, met thri,-def-m
ct the hands of Charles "uar-
tell, king of the Franks. One of the
out Roman roads passes very close
to this camp, and one can imagine
the armies of Caeser marching up
ward toward England, and the de
fense of the Great Wail. Rather
stirring time3 those, but probably no
more so than the prasent, although
wc don't grasp the romance of the
great war as much as we probably
siiotild.
This is not far from the home town
of Kloan of Arc, and she probably
passed through our town on her way
to Orleans more than once In by-
:,-one days. There 13 a statute of her
in town, but I supptjse most every
town In France "is blessed with a
name or her. I saw a very beaut I
mi one In another city some time
ego. There is a ruined castle here
that I'm told dates back to a'jout
1200. It was the country pjacs of
Charles the Seventh. Make Peter
tell you when that was and what
position he occnples in French his
tory and then let ine know, as I am
unable to place him from memory.
The castle is rather picturesque, al
though only two towers are left of
It. I may send a picture of it later.
There are several examples of fine
old French houses of a later date
here, and a church of about 1400
A. D., which Is not particularly beau
tiful, but Is rather dignified at that.
There 13 a canal stretching through
this country, ending somewhere and
beginning some place else. I don't
know where, but It's some sight to I
see the boats g, towed by a pair of
donkeys and manned by a peasant
woman of a very husky type. They
live on board the boats and have a
stable on board for the donkeys; so
their home Is evidently wherever
they are when the sun goes dowii.
Along the canal are fine paths for
the donkeys, and evidently fine paths
for the walking public, and a fine
row of trees wjilch lend shade and
enchantment to the view. Some of
the trees are as pretty as I ever saw.
I've had a letter from Don this
week, but none from home for many
days, as no malls have arrived from
the U. S. for three or four weeks,
we are told. I suppose all the spaca
on the boats is required for men and
material and If so, I. for one, am not
kicking, as our motto Iia3 become.
The sooner the better."
.With love,
