Compton, who is now a first lieutenant with the United States tiuard at Fort Bliss, near El Paso, Tex., writes interestingly as follows to local friends : "It was unite cool this morning, so after breakfast 1 went out and tossed a baseball for a half hour's exercise with one of our sergeants. Inside of a few minutes a half dozen baseballs were flyinjr through the company streets. We are jroing to have a game this afternoon. 1 didn't know we had so many talented ball players, but it's a safe bet that wherever there are American soldiers gathered, there also you lind material for a base ball game. "About the most remarkable tiling 1 have done recently was to stand in the United States and shake bands with a man over in Mexico. Paradoxical as that may sound, it was a simple mat ter, for we were standing on the inter national bridge, between El l'aso and Juarez. In company with another of ficer, who is on guard duty at this bridge, 1 walked out half way across to the boundary line in the middle of the Kio Craiide river. No one is per mitted to cross w ithout a passport, but a Mexican officer, who w ith his sol ers guarded the Mexican side, happened to stroll out the line and I was mtro duced to him. "Since leaving Hood River in March, 1 have covered a great deal of territory and have visited a number of big cantonments, so that now 1 feel I have a fairly good general idea of what is going on in a military way here in the United States. Having served in the Spanish-American war in lHitS and later in the Philippines, 1 also feel in position to note comparative clill'erenes between conditions past and present. Summed up in a single sen tence, the most striking difference be tween our modern army camp and that of 2l years ago is the absence of booze and scarlet women. To put it plainly, 20 ytars ago women of the underworld flocked almost unrestrainedly into the camps and environs, and intoxicating liquor was to lie had in almost unlim ited quantities. Compared with our present clean, athletic, efficient army, that of lilJ8 was an opera bouffe, a riotous summer outing. "You folks at home, I know, are be ing called upon to support unstintedly the war to furnish the finances, the sinews of war. Without it the firing line fails. Let me add my assurance that this money is being well spent. I refer particularly to such organiza tions as the lied Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus and Y. VV. C. A. Those organizations are do ing a wonderful work, and without them the high moral tone that prevails in camp would soon deteriorate. "1 think the highest tribute should be paid to the lied Cross nurse. Not only is their work and standards of the highest order, but their conduct is such i that they have won the highest respect among army men. They do their allut ed work cheerfully, efficiently, quietly and in such a womanly manner that they exert a refining influence and maintain a standing that is unique. "Whoever wrote that song, '1 don't want to get well - I'm in love with a beautiful nurse,' evidently had been in an army hospital and voiced the senti ment of a majority of patients. 1 spent 10 days in a base hospital recent ly. Approximately l,5iK) patients were being treated, and some 200 Red Cross nurses were in charge. 1 feel sure that at least l,4'.t'J patients were singing that song at times. "Perhaps the most spectacular fea ture of modern warfare is the air plane service, and prior to leaving Hood River 1 had a strong desire to see squardons of airplanes in action. This desire was partially gratified at San Antonio recently, when 1 saw ap proximately 50 machines in the air at one time. "The organization of which I am now a member was organized a few months ago, and was originally known as the United States Guards. The en listed personnel is composed of drafted men in the limited service class, and the officers are men who have had prior military service in the Philip pines or Spanish-American war. Most of the officers in my battalion have seen from 10 to 20 years' of service, so we think w are a crack organization. We are at present doing duty here on the border, Out we hope to got across to France soma day." In a letter to his father J. K. Bailey, Sgt. Hurley F. Bailey, now in France with the 5th Held Battalion, sictal corps, sends a copy of a letter of icc omtoendation mailed by h' command ing ollicor of the organization to em li member of the liattalion." 1 he letter con, m. 'lids the signal corps tin n for their part in cheeking a tieiman offen sive, turning t lie tide of battle and finally drivirg the em my back for a mile.' As is stated by the command in officer, the signal corps, despite a ram of tire from machine gunners, kept up an unbroken line of coniinuiii cation. At the time of w riting Sgt. Bailey stated tiat he had just enjovid id i f,,.ol ni.rVit i.f nnititerrnt.t. il s ten fur I I l I, .!., v ....t . , t en weeks. Purine' that Ici.L'lh ,.t time I he had not .removed his cloiinog.

The spirit of the American doughboy was revealed in the words of the young Upper Valley soldier. ' We are all ready for the fight. A liile we haven't heen up ourselves vet, we have seen enough of the tight to' want to get into it. If something should happen now that would keep us out of the tight we Would he the worst disappointed lot you ever saw. The huns are getting just what they de serve, and we want to help give it to them." Richard and Hubert Seearee, former Mosier boys, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. II. M. Scearce are now resiilir.g here, write from France of what they characterize as the happiest reunion of their lives. lioth young men were formerly members of 1 lattery C, tioth Artillery. On the way across the Atlantic Rich ard was stricken with pneumonia, and on landing in England hewaspla-ed in a hopsital. A short time later Rob ert suffered from pneumonia and was confined for weeks in a hospital. On recovery Richard was transferred into a battery uf an other regiment. While being transferred he suddenly bumped into his brother. The boys had given up hopes of seeing each other again until after the war. A remarkable war record is held by the family of W. R. Smith, local trans fer man, who registered Thursday. Mr. Smith, a Spanish-American war veteran, who saw service in the Phlin pines, is the sun of a Civil war veter an. He has a brother and six half brothers now in service. Mr. Smith, at the outbreak of the war with Ger many, made several unsuccessful at tempts to enlist. He was turned down because of physical defects. The father, II. S. Smith, of Kansas City, Mo., was married twice. He is the father of 21 children, 15 boys and six girls. The ruling that recently put an end to volunteer enlistments has brought bitter disappointment to Julius l.e Krancq, son of I.eon PeFraneq. This young man, aged l'., on applying for enlistment in the navy at a Portland recruiting office, was told that his ac ceptance was contingent only on a suc cessful operation for hernia. I.eFrancq submitted to the operation, which wa-s successful, but now he cannot enter the navy because of the ruling. 'This is a great ice cream countrv. but there is no ice cream," writes Ivan llakin, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. U. Dakin. Young Dakin, who is a mem ber of an ambulance company former ly stationed at ('amp lA'wis, tells his father that one cf his most absorbing thoughts now is of the pleasure he will derive from a plate of ice cream on returning to America. Dr. VV. M. Post has just received a elter from a cousin, Albert Jefferson, who tells (if severe wounds sustained ir. action in F'rance. He is now recov ering at an American base hospital. lhe young man was cited for bravery for the deed that brought the wound, and his letter tells of receipt of a Dis tinguished Service Cross, pinned on by King George. Sgt. Walter VV. Shay, motor tester in air service, military aeronautics, at Kellv Field, Tex., left Sunday after a six day furlough herewith his wife and parents, Mr. and Mrs. VV. K. Shay. Sgt. Shay was formerly with 12th Co., and was transferred to air service last fall. He states that Malcolm Button holds the important position of aeroplane in spector at the big aviation field. Mr. Button, wdio has been made first class sergeant, inspects 25 planes daily. News has been received here that I.ee Meadows, whose parents reside in Portland, was killed in action in France. The young man and a brother, Floyd Meadowswere both members of the old Third Oregon. The latter brother is in France. Miss Myrtle Meadows, formerly in the employ of the Apple Growers As sociation, has been engaged in war work in Washington, I). C. Mr. and Mrs. Ilarlcy Glass last Wednesday received a letter from their son, Ramon Glass, who was aboard the S. S. Westbridge, recently torpedoed by a U-boat, announcing his safety. "1 am not permitted to write you any details of our experience," writes Mr. Glass, "hut let me tell you we have seen a bit of war." Estee Brosius, after a visit with hifi parents, left last week for Camp Pike, Ark., where he will attend an officers' training school.
