We left Washington on sched ule and arrived In Hoboken, N. J., at 9:30 a.m. and boarded the B. 8.

On the way we stopped at Strat-ford-On-Avon to see where Shakes peare lived and to see Ann Hatha way's cottage. These were both very Interesting sights. As Oxford we arrived too late because we couldn't find a hotel so Just by chBnce our leaders came upon two gentlemen from Canada who made arrangements for us to stay with the Oxford group at Queens college. We had a very nice time there and they have one of the nicest banquet halls ever seen by our boys. We left Ox ford early In the mornli.g because we had several stops to make ana wanted to get to London In time to get to our hotel and slghtsee. We stopped at Windsor castle where we saw the change of the guards and the entire grounds. We arrived In London about 4 o'clock and went to our hotel which la situated In the middle of town.
