C. hi Thorp, Richland, Oro. Dear Friend: JIrvo got hare at last, but it took a long time and a lot of rid ing in box cam, hiking, ate, going into rest camps, staying there for porhap one night an J then 'being sent on. We stayed in one plac a little over a wtek then took a hike of 25 miles not a very long hike for infantry-but we too most of two days for it as we are not used to walking, being a mounted regiment. All the hikes we look in the States we were mounted, so it wont a little hard with us. You might think 13 miles is not a very long distance to walk in a day. and it isn't (we walked it from G to 10:30 in the morning and took the balance of the day to rest) but when you put 80 pounds on your back and walk for '15 minutes I'll guaran tee you'll be ready for the five minutes rest when it comes. I stood it pretty well, considering everything, as I had been sick the night before and ate no break fast. We were in England for a short time so got to see a little of that country; it certainly is a garden spot and the crops are something wonderful, there is no waste ground even the land along the railroad is cultivated. In Home ways tho English seem more foreign to us than the French, but they made us welcome in every town we passed through. A band met us at the docks and as we loft the station each soldier was given a letter of welcome written by King George. Wo had a great time riding on tho cars in England and France they are so different from the ones in America. You have heard about French hospitality; well it is certainly true but not in tho exaggerated degree that we hove been led to believe; but just right. They arc certainly a nice people though their standard of morality is not as high as ours, at least it doesn't seem so from what I have seen of them, and I nm afraid they are liable to get the same impression of us from the way some of us aro acting here, much as I hate to admit it. Tho more I seo of Europe the more I think of America, for they aro 100 years behind us. When the war is over they can land me anywhere in the good old U.S.A. and I will be happy. You don't know how to appreciate your country until you have sailed thousands of miles away from its shores and know you cannot re turn for an indefinite time. You people at homo must stand behind us in every way -we need your help. I wish to say a few words for tho Y.M.C.A., thoy aro tho great connecting link between us und home, next to our letters and what little the chaplain can do. Tho Y.s are always crowded and thero is often a line 100 feet long of hoys in front of the Y.M.C.A. canteen as it is the only place they can get things at a decent price. The Y. give uh h lot nf enlertainmnts. one nfeht each week rtligiou services fro, held. Catholic macs is held early Sun dsy morning and nt 10 o'clock Protestant a? rvioe are conducted by the chaplain or Y. secrotarles I must say the Y.M.O. . work ers are ttein a lot for us and ato working hfttd. I believe their work is as important a ours and m some ways morojio to the pres ent and future of uf fellows, so do all you can for the Y.M.C.A. for you cannot do a greater worjk for us. We need mQre Y.M.C.A. workers over here. Tell all the peopieHn the Valley "hello" and that I nm still able to stay with the crowd, tell them also that 1 may not be back by this time next year, but I dpn't figure on staying in this country more than one winter. As ever your friend, Corp. C. A. Narrows, Hutt. C, 320 F. A., American K V, Franco Appreciates News From Home Camp Eustib, Va., Sept. 25th. Dear Editor: Received the E. V. News this evening and was sure glad to get it. I have read it through even the adds are news to me now and had the pleasure of reading the letters from home boysjn differ ent camps. Say. you can tell the world that if we fellows from Camp Eiutis ever get to "battle" with those square-headed german devils we will make them pay us for the hard drilling we are getting. Wo sure ao drill, no foolincr ubout it. We have to take a 28-in. step and 128 steps per minute; it seems like they double it before the day is done. But the bunch I am with are all Oregon boys so mark it down we can stand it. Well, I must close with these few words, I wish all you home people well and don't fail to send the paper every week. Pvt.
