And I w ill also say that the war bread we use is not as good as what the people at home have as w e have one bakery here at camp that supplies all the bread fo r the camp and we all get the same kind o f bread. And another thing that the boys com ing into the camp do not get that the folks have at home is butter. W e were here fo r over a month before we got batter and it Is the same way with all the new boys com ing to this camp. W e were in a bettor shape than m ost o f them as we were organised when we came and had our cooks and a mess fund while the draft men have to organize and pick their cooks and if their cooks are not saving they m ight not get a mess fund fo r over a month and you have to have a mess fund to be able to have butter three times a day as the gov ernment only allows so much butter a day and it ju st about enough fo r one meal. And as they buy butter in such large quantities we do not always have the best butter that is made and sometimes we imagine they are mak ing a mistake and give us cheese in stead o f butter. And while it would make n o difference if we did not like it, we have no recourse but to use what th ejrgive us. But I have never heard any o f the b oy i make any kick on the food we are getting and have never heard a kick on the bread as we realise the boys overs there need it worse than we do and as we expect to be there ourselves some day we are trying to make the best o f every thing as we know wo w ill have to give up a lot we are getting now when we get across. We are also using what we call O. D. sugar which, if you could see it, would remind you o f sand mixed with molasses but there has been no kicks on that either and as a whole we are well fed here and have no kicks to make whatever, unless a person is ju st a natural kicker. But I wanted the people to know there in Coos that we are having to give up as much o f the luxuries as they sire. We had our meatless and wheatless days when you all did. I know that it is only a few who are not proud o f our home town the way they have been ahead in all the drives that go to help us to win this war, and I do not know o f a more patriotic town than Coquill* anywhere and we are proud to be from there. Ther® are a good many people, *# k • \ while we understand thoroughly that we will have a lot o f hardships when we get over to France and this is easy now compared to what we will do ov er there, but at the same time the work here is not easy by any means.

Ana then hikes are not easy by any means, as after walking all day and after having an hour's rest they cell us out to do picket duty and night skirmishes until twelve o'clock and then just aa we are getting to sleep on the hard ground they blow the bugle call at one o’clock with the call to arms telling us th e enemy to coming, and we have to break' camp and pull up our tent* to move on fa r ther back and away and we hike for another two hours and get our tents pitched about flv* o’clock and to bed, only to get up agsin et the regular « o clock rsveils.

The last twe weeks we have been called out at two o’clock in the morning to start from our barracks on these hikes and have hiked until daylight before pitching tents to camp. W * average about two days or three each week in these hikes and wartime maneuvers. So you can see we are getting a taste o f what we will have over there aa when w e start at tw o o’clock we do not go to bed when we get to camp but keep right on with our day’s work the same aa if we had a night’s sleep. W ell, I guess, we w ill be out of here on our way over soon as we are really preparing to move this tim e as we are busy packing up our equip ment in heavier crates than wa have had and are getting everything reedy and while we don’t know when it will be that we leave, I guess, it w ill be within the next three or fou r weeks We hope it will be ss soon as possi ble fo r we ere anxious to g et over there end it is the same all over camp. But the boys are all m ors satisfied be cause this time we know w* are going, as this is the first tim e we have ever got started to pecking our'equipm ent and they are ruining us through a lot o f the work we have never had. We have been drilling hard with the gas will try the gas house this week some- time to go through actual gas Ilka they are using over there. W ell, I will d ose hoping this in f or- tas ti on will help you to let those who do not know that the boys in the camps are making aa many sacrifices along the food question as those at home and are doing it cheerfu lly and are not even ns well off as they are because we cannot get anything alas and have to make the beat o f it. But we know the only way to win the war is to make tha beat o f everything as it comes and while it may be hard on ns we have to remember the boys ov- er there who are in the trenches for 24 hours sometimes without food . And the only way to win is fo r os all to get together and tha folks at home have to back us up or wa could never win and we are all proud o f our homo poo- ple and tha state o f Oregon fo r the w ay she is backing up the boys and I don’t want you to think that 1 am trying to criticise anyone fo r I knew that there are very few people in Coos who are net doing all they can. And I knew that in Coquille there are very few , if any, aa I hear from there about all thair drives and how read* they are to help, but I thought it m ight help you to enlighten some who do not know o f the conditions in cam p.
