SMS HE'S GETTING FAT
Rolla Lang writes us ua follows;
I am Htationod at Camp Fre
mont, Calif., and Rotting fat. We
have four and a Half hours drill
in the morning and tlneo hours
road hiking in the afternoon. I
gueBH we will get on the target
range with the big guns this
week and 1 sure will be glad of it
as I am anxious to get used to
the big fellows.
This outfit I am in is one of the
oldest organized Held artillery
regiments in the army. Thoy
hud just came from the Phillipine
Islands when I gut assigned to
the regiment.
Wo are sure feeding good. Our
breakfast this morning consisted
I of grapo fruit, pork sausage, hot
cakes and coffee. Dinner included
roast beef, stewed peas, celery,
green onions, potatoes, gravy,
cold slaw, loganberry pie and
lemonade. Our week day meals
are in the same line-, but our
bread is brown bread for three
meals u day and seven days a
week. Wo have pork only in
sausage except for Sunday dmner
once in a wh'le.
I wanted to enlist in the en
gineers but the 10th and 18th
regiments wore full up. 1 did
care to onhst in the other engin
eer regiments because thoy. arc
sappers. .'... .
I Uon't know how long We will
be here, but am in hopes it will
not bo for long because I sure
don't like this place. California
is fine for the boosters of this
supposed sunny state, but anyone
coming from Eagle Val ey will
soon get tired of it. The sunkist
oranges are well named the sun
stays out only long enough to Kiss
them and then gets behind a
cloud.
With regards to all,
Private R. I. Long.
