" "-September 18
These are certainly most exciting
times. The news ot Bulgaria's cap!
tulation etill fresh, the rest of the
hunch trying to test out our peace
terms and our' allies advancing on
all fronts, it looks most encouraging
and we are very optimistic in that
the end will be soon, and better still,
when it ends we need never fear
another such, war from German at
rocity. We are becoming accustom
ed o air raid "alerts", and have
heard bombs and machine gunfire
from German planes but as yet they
have never bothered our valley with
Its hospitals. We hear the big guns
rumbling-in the early morning and
the next day ot an advance of our
troops. They can't be stopped. We
have been very busy getting, our
laboratory organized and in running
order. I have been back from the
University of Dijon for over a month
and have been assigned to the Cen
tral laboratory, a . laboratory doing
most ot the " work tor the several
hospitals in this encampment ot
which we are one. Things are now
In good order and I have a little
time off. My Job' is making media
upon which the germs are ' grown,'
in fact I am in charge of the room
where we make it and have with me
University of Columbia man' and
two French women. We have some
good men' in the central, laboratory,
the captain in charge is a John Hop
kins Prof., Captain Benson of whom
you know and a Lieutenant for the
Rockfeller Institute and many
others. We. are receiving wounded
several times a day from the great
battles at the front. In which our
soldiers are doing so' well. It Is very
exciting to see the fine, hospital
trains come in bringing 1 soldiers,
wounded but a few hours before.
The American is most fortunate for
he is better cared for than, any other.
We have moved 'into' our new bar
racks, drier, and warmer than the
old ones, also we have separate cots
Before we had hunks too tiers, hold
ing four men to a bunk. I drew an
upper and almost developed claws
and wings climbing up and down.
Our mess is good, better than we
should expect under the conditions,
of course we have a period of "cor
ned willie" but not for long, usually
we have fresh meat, vegetables of
several sorts and always white bread.
I've thought many times how nice
It would be to fish In the old Rogue
as' I did last fall. Here the rivers
are muddy and slow, more like
hrooks to us who know a river when
we see it.-
We start a letter and do not have
time ,to get more than a paragraph
written at a time. Lights out soon,
and as we attend that little social
event common to army life, reveille
at five o'clock in the morning I shall
turn in.

four days after we did, I never was
so surprised in my lite and also tick
led as they are tbe first ones from
home I have met They both are
looking fine, Jim has charge ot all
the baking in his company. They
bake for the whole camp and quite
a good deal ot the bread that goes
to the front
A bunch ot us kids had some pic
tures taken the other day and I have
put oft writing until I got them. 1
took some more yesterday and took
the films to town to be developed
and will see the proofs Sunday. Will
send some ot those too it they are
good at all. This picture is ot
bunch ot the boys that bunk around
me.
I think that we are going to move
out of here before long. That last
drive changed things as we are
nearly- out of the danger or war
sons now and business has dropped
oft at this camp to about a third ot
what it was. It sure loks promis
ing, but we haven't licked the Ger
mans yet, but we will before long.
I haven't heard from Claud or
Wallace either although I have had
enough time to receive an answer
before this. I am going to write to
the Central Record at Fours and get
their A.P.O. numbers it I can.
Quite surprised to hear that Earl
is In Kentucky. .1 wrote him some
time ago, but suppose It will be tor-
warded to him. It he is still in the
U.S.A. when you get this letter tell
him my P.O. No. is A.P.O. 712 and
his letter will reach me quicker.
I am glad Gale likes the navy.
Will send you a paper some day
lust to let yon see the paper we get
over here every evening.
We have had several white frosts
here the last week or so.
Will write again in a few days, as
I always try and write at least twice
a week.
Tell Gale and all tbe kids to write.

VERY ENJOYABLE VISIT
Mrs. J. L, Chrlstlieb, who recent
ly returned from a six months' visit
to her native state, Pennsylvania,
had a most enjoyable visit, visiting
nearly 100 homes. She visited rela
tives in the following cities, New
Germantown, Newport, Carlisle, Har
rlsburg, Marrletta, Florin, Mt. Joy.
and Greenville,. 111. She also attended
the national conference of the Breth
ren church In June, conducted at
Hershen, Pa.; 60 people were in at
tendance on the Lord's day. Mr.
Hershey, of chocolate fame, gave an
interesting talk on Red Cross work,
and stated to an audience of 6,000
people, "If you give $20,000
I will give $20,000. The collection
was $22,000 and Mr. Hershey save
$22,000, making $44,000 donated
for' charitable purpose.
One of the most Interesting scenes
in my travels, was a trip of 100 miles
by auto to the battlefield or Gettys
burg, Pa. I visited the home of Jen
nie Meade, the only civilian killed
during the Civil War. People were
more civilized then, than now. I
saw the "Devil's Den;" stood on the
highest point of "Round Top," on
an observation station and looked
over 16,00 acres of land. More than
1,000 men were slain on "Round
Top" in the battle of victory in 1864.
The grounds are most beautiful and
many travelers visit the battlefields
dally.
