t lily home to the people here In a
letter lust received from John Corey,
recently employed In the White Tcll

poial with tho Thirty-fourth Aero
Squadron stationed temporarily In
Knglnnd. A much more realistic pic
ture Is given of the distress and terra-
occasioned by those night sky
Whits than Is realized from the regu
lar dispatches concerning them. Corey
says In part:
"Since I have been here there have
been seven air raids. They are aome
thing awful. I had beard of them In
America, but to go thru one of them
Is bomethlng entirely different. Just
Imagine several Herman airplanes
flying over Klamath Falls, dropping
bombs full of shrapnel. The worst
thing Is, you don't know where the
things are going to drop, You can't
boo, thorn, as they alwaya come be
tween 7 and 9 in the evening, and you
are entirely helpless.
"Of course, there arc the anti-aircraft
guns here, but they can't see
what to shoot at. Utell you, It Is
simply hell to go thru an air raw.
iKxi-use the grammar.)
"What with being shot by subtna
llnes nnd these dirty air raids, I have
seen n little of the war. That Is the
way the uermnns ngni. u manes n
person hnte the kaiser worse than
ever. It Is cold nere now, ana mere
U no moon, so we haven't had a raid
slnco last Tuesday night, but no one
can tell when they will come.
"Tho raid of last Tuesday waB the
worst of the eeven. Two bombs
dropped within three blocks of where
we wore. One dropped on the slde
unik in front of a home. It tore the
wl ole front of the house out from the
bntoment to tho third floor. Every
