FROM FRANCE
...
Is Impressed by England's
Beauty, Fine Crops
L. E. Fry is now in Franca and
writes the Glob u follows:
No doubt you and my friends in Con
don will be glad to know that I arrived
in France. We sailed from New York
on one of the largest transports and w
had a very pleasant trip as the water
was not rough. We were very glad to
reach Liverpool, England, and, even in
these strange surroundings, it was a
pleasure to be on land again. We were
given a great welcome on our way from
the boat to where we entrained. I
waa very much Impressed with the
beauty of the country and the fine
crops we saw on our trip across Eng
land to Southampton. We arrived fn
Southampton about 1 A. M. and
marched three miles to camp for a few
hours rest. We sailed from there
through the English Channel to Cher
bourg, France, where we rested for
two days. Since then I have been over
a large part of France and have passed
through Paris twice. We can hear the
roar of the big guns and at times get
some real excitement. Aeroplanes are
more common than birds. At . times
they are ao high we can hardly detect
them with the naked eye. I can easily
understand now why so many are will
ing to risk their lives to become air
men. ' I am enjoying good health and
having a good time. Will appreciate
receiving the Globe every week.

Just a line from the boys that are ia
the east. We get to see our home paper
once in a while and we would like to
get it oftener if we could. We have
been here a week, coming from Saa
Francisco. We can't say that we were
glad to come here for the west is the
only place for' a westerner. . The people
we have met here are all ' nice to os
but we can see the difference in them
and the people west of Salt Lake. The
only feature of this camp is that we
at nearer Berlin here than at Frisco.
When we come here it means that it
will not be long before we will be going:
over there. We are much better train
ed than any of the troops stationed
here at this is only a, receiving camp
for recruits. Not many of them stay
here long. We axe going to the rifle
range Monday and expect to make a
mark for old Oregon as most of the
boys in this regiment are from Oregon. '
