Sergeant Clyde R. Burns, son of Mrs. Mary Burns of 254 .Yamhill street, gives an interesting de scription of a more unfamiliar branch f the service than many others : ' "We were stationed only about 15 Tnlles from the front lines and as we .first approached camp we saw that It Was, all camouflaged and we knew we '.were in the big game. Our squadron waa the fourth to arrive in the field. The Y. M. C. A. had ti little tent for their hut, but since have put up a big portable hut which I helped to build. ''Our duties have been to supply Squadrons at the front with airplane farts and motor parts and it was some Job during the big drives. This js the first air depot of the American army and captured machines and also ma- chines for repair are brought in here from the lines as well as salvage planes. ,'Jt is also the last station where the airplanes are received before Joining their squadron. 5 Came Orer Eyery Wight ' "During tho summer we had, frequent Visits via air line from the Huns, whose mission was to take pictures. We had our first air raid on the night of June 25, and If you could have seen me put- ting on my helmet and grabbing my gas mask and taking to the trenches you would have said I was the fastest guy In the world, and even then there were a good many who beat me there. They cams over live 'consecutive nights, and forget those nights soon. i-orst raids were in Octo- iere well protected by anti aircraft guns and machine guns which did fine work. We are about 12 kilo- meters from Toul and 25. from Nancy, which two cities were bombed nearly every night for some time. : "You cannot imagine the ruins of Chateau Thierry and at Epernay.

Went Wild Over Yanks t "I saw a submarine in the Seine and a long line of people waiting to buy L,ib e'rty bonds, which were being sold there. At Concorde I saw a wonderful collec tion! of booty taken by the French, In cluding big guns, tanks, airplanes, zepps. and I also had a wonderful time at th6 Follies Bergere. From Paris I went to Marseilles and had a wonderful time and then went to Nice, which is the best little city In France. I was there the day of the eleventh, and the city went wild. There were very few American soldiers there ard nothing was too good for them. A woman about 40 rushed up and grabbed me and kissed me on both cheeks, then a little farther down the atreet some young girls stopped me and -pinned some beautiful roses on my blouse only to be exchanged a second later for a kiss. Then another girl .i . i 1 : we had a gay time. .

After six days at Nice, we started back by way of Lyons and Paris. The crowds were terrible as they were having another grand fete in honor of the peace news. Being tired of crowds. I stepped into a picture show and, to my surprise, saw a picture taken In San Francisco, with Charlie Chaplin and a Pathe weekly with captions in French and Knglish." ONE PAIR OF EYES NOT' ENOUGH Portland Man Regrets He Cannot See More of Many Interesting Things "We ought to have a thousand eyes to drink in the bits of interesting scenery of No Man's Land and the towns which the Germans have Just vacated before we arrived on the scene," writes Ser gent E. L. Ordertiann, son of Mrs. C. Ordemann of 398 East Thirty-eighth street north, who for years was a teller in the United. States National bank and who is now en route to Germany with the American army of occupation. "The pleasant encounters of fighting for souvenirs is on. AH day yesterday email groups of discharged prisoners of war from Germany passed us, mostly Russians, and Italians with a few Brit ish and Americans. From what the re turned prisoners say the Germans are In sore need of food. "Today a group of us visited a nearby cemetery one of the graves in which was that of a German who was- killed the same day the armistice took effect. . "The second day by truck takes us Into some very pretty country in Luxemburg and the homes have evidently been those of 'pro-ally' people. The high cost of living is pronounced here. Bacon is $4 to $5 a pound, eggs are 25 cents each, shoes for children of seven are $20, men's suits are about $75. Coffee is $7 a pound and apples 40 cents per pound. White bread is unobtainable in the stores. "Last night we went to a men's club here which is made up of the best so ciety in the community. The swallow tail coat and stiff bosomed shirt were much in evidence and it certainly looked good. During the evening a fine look ing fellow came up and threw his arms around one of our fellows and told us in broken English that the Americans were the saviors of Luxemburg. "We after wards found out that he was a prom inent physician in the place. Nothing is too good for the Americans." Explosion of Gas In Buried Conduit Injures Auto Man One man was injured and consider able excitement created in Broadway near Oak street late Tuesday afternoon by an explosion of gas in an under ground conduit of the P. R., L. & P. com pany. Two manhole covers were blown into the air, and a report, as if of a bomb, was made by the exploding gas. H. G. Blackman, an automobile sales man, who was mounting a. motorcycle at the time, was hit on the head by fragments of the manhole cover, and received scalp wounds. He was removed to his home. The gas. which had accumulated in the conduit, was Ignited by the action of an employe of the company in turn ing on an electric light switch, several blocks from the scene of the explosion. A- vtnt f'tpe from the conduit ran through the ground to the base of an electric light pole, on which the switch was located. The spark from the switch ignited the gas. and the explosion sev eral blocks away followed. Pep Session Will Be a Feature of Elks' Program Members of Portland lodge B. P. O.
