"A Modern Musketeer" la showing.
That's the name ot Doug Fairbanks'
newest Artcraft film piece. Doug Is
ordained through pre-natal Influence

My pear Mother:
Thla morning when we got up the
sky was entirely overcast and about
3:30 It started to rain and blow. It's
3 p. m. now and It Is simply blow
ing a gale, I went up to the rauteen
about an hour ago and a couple of
times the wind was so strong I
couldn't move. I aaw it blow one
fellow into a ditch with about three
feet ot water in It. On one side ot
our barrarka Is a railroad track and
above us at one side of the Q. M
warehouse there were a couple ot
freight cars. Well, about a halt hour
ago they came past here galulng
speed all the time, the wind was
blowing them along. I don't know
when I've see such a bad storm.
About 10 days ago we had a bad elec
trical storm that strurk one of the
hangers setting it on tire. However
theie was very little damage done.
They have Just ordered all the
cadets out of their barracks. They
are afraid one ot the large 1 .'.0-foot
water towers will blow over.
7 p. m., Aug. 6.
Little did I think when I quit this
letter that by this time tonight Get
ter Field would be almost wiped off
the map. Oh, mother, It has been
awful. The wind Just ripped and
tore up all the hangers smashing and
destroying all the planes. I doubt
It we have three good ships on the
post. Every building on the post
suffered some damage and lots of
them were blown away. We don't
know what they will do with us but
we will probably be moved away
within a week. This field I don't
think will ever be rebuilt. There
are millions of dollars worth of dam
age done. Most of we officers were
out after the wind died down some,
and looked for the Injured. As yet
we haven't a casualty to report, but
the hospital Is full. Everyone was
all packed up In case our barracks
started to go. One whole section of
the cadets barracks is caved in and
aeroplanes are scattered everywhere.
Autos were overturned and ripped up
and In all my life I never hope to
see such s sight. Several men were
blown out In the field snd couldn't
get back. I don't know what the
papers will ssy, but I'll send you a
copy tomorrow. We have no lights
or water tonight. It certainly was
horrifying to see and hear big sec
tions of roofing torn off and smash
ed Into some other obstacle. Tou
folks can't begin to Imagine what It
was like. As soon ss I find out def
initely what I am going to do I will
let you know.
With love, EDWIN.

But when they csnnot they sometimes give snd do nothing.
It is so hard to believe thut a bit is your lust. IWt believe It

We are alreinly beginning to rcntiao that tho heroism of the etsy-aU
