Enlightening Letter Is Receiv

Private Lloyd A. Lee. one of the
Salem lads . In France, writes to O.

ing letter on soldier life In Franc.
An 'Interesting part of the letter Is
that about the sunrise given him
when George J. Watson of Salem
happened In uopn him at camp. Pri
vate Lee Is a son of A. A. Lee of Sa
lem. Ills letter follows:
"I have been quite busy lately and
even when work is finished I do not
often fecl llke wrltlnr. Therefore
your letter has suffered along with
othcrp, though I have thought of you
often and' even started a letter a
couple of tfmes. When I note the
date of yonr sheet I feel quite. guilty
even though during the past ten
months I have written morn- letters
than I would In 1 00 years at the rate
I turned them out in rlvlllan life.
Poople have been very good to m.
i'o one has ftirgotten me, except at
times the postman, for there are
often long periods wlthont mall.
"This morning because of th
rain we did not drill. I should ex
plain that for the past few weeks
every one has been required to take
exercise and drill three times each
week. We have the band to help out
so thst U Is not at all bad. The
Idea , Is mainly to make. sure thnt
everyone has at least a certain
amount of exercise., A good thing,
too, for so many men here who are
working Inside.

don't. The funniest looking affairs

everyone has them we are becoming
accustomed to the sight, for the first
ones to get this Invention were con
sidered a sight.
'But a uniform hat was sorely
needed JTere. The old campaign hat
is good for sunny weather but In
the cold when the wind plays a tune
around rour ears we did not like
them. The chauffeurs were about
the first to change to the French
cap. Of course they had to bay
them but they were worth It. You
could turn them over your ears anJ
keep warm. The custom gfew until
almost every man had a different
style cap, though all were of the O.
D. color. So now we have the uni
form cap of a dlstlncf style and ro
one Is permitted' to wear anything
else. Then, too, an essential ad
vantage of a cap or this type Is that

now 'when they did complete the

seen In this place. More officers At

remember e.nd the nursa came down
from the hospital. My pal' and I
went over at o'clock but all we
could find were a few back seats
though the performance was sched

last fall when there were not enough
enlisted men In the post to fill the
building.
"A few weeks ago some amy lightly
knocked on my door. I put on the
best assumed army gruffness that
ten months' training can give a German-American
war veteran and
'bawled out' a 'come In.' But whoe
