from the boys In service, both in the
United States and "over there." A let
ter from Alpheus A. Itint'cr of Ard
more Rives an account of his trip to
Fort Rosecruns, Cal, as follows: "The
trip out here was a lout,', but very
pleasant one. I left home Wednesday
noon, December 13, and arrived m f-'an
Diego, which is about fdx nnle.-i from
the fort, at t! a. m., Saturday, 1 ceiuber
22. We went north to dulhrlt) and
then traveled in a KOUthwcwteTiy direo
tion. From Guthrie w hail a special
carrying 200 all of whoni wen; en route
to Kort RosoTan.s. Wo ate at the
Harvey housiw along the way. Anianllo,
Texas, was the largest town we passed
between Outline and Kan Dteo. The
route lay throush mountains and dry
plains, and through the Mojavo deacrt.
San Diego la quite a bu.sy, modern city
of about C0.OO0 population. Of course a'
large part of its welfare U .lun to the
location of many lnww In its trade
territory- In addition to lArt Koa
crans, there is an aviation ramp, naval
station and from l!U 000 to 40,000 troops
are at Camp Kearney. Kort Kox-. himh
is located on a mountainous peninsula
with the I'ai'ilin on one wide and a liar
bur on the oilier, the fnrt lyin;; mostly
on the harbor .side. NiiiiHToui Ouild
ings are beintf put up for the aoeoinreo
nation of troops. At present a larite
number of us are living in t"nts. ThU
1s very agreeable, however, a:; the
weather is mild, with very little rainfall.
The V. M. C. A. In the tent in wloeh 1
am writing is the l-U upholder of a
fellow's spirit-4 at the fort. Various en
tertainments take pta.ee in the Y. M . C.
A. in addition to the movies and tmi.sie.
Games are also at the disx.sa.l of the
men. Stationery is furnished free, read
ing matter is always on hand and many
other conveniences are supplied."
Mai Wegcr, J lattery A, ll-Url field
artillery, at Camp Travis, in a neent
letter, enclosed a program of Huiicav
fcerviciw at the l-'irst I'resby teriati
church. In writing of it. he ,:.iys: "Thev
are doing their bit and then some.
We got to service and they serve us
dinner on 'real duttwtj.' atcr which
We spend most of the afternoon holding
informal souk services in the basement
and e.njoy oursolves to our heart's con
tent. This is done every Sunday and
how they can afford it 1 do not kno-v,
for their basement is latge and it is
just one large 'mess hall' full of boys
In khaki." On the program is an in
vitation which reads: "The army men
who are worshiping with us today are
cordially invited to be the guests of the
church at dlnnex, which will be served
downotalrs by the ladies after the close
of worship." The word dinner was
eiianjred to feast by Mr. Weger. An
other announcement on the program
called attention to the regular social
entertainment for the soldiers on Fri
day evenings. Mr. Wetter referre1 to
tlila by saying: "I-Yiday evening, when
we can yet off, we go down there to
the basement of this church and for a
few hours and almost forget there is
such a thing as war." He then writes:
The people are doing a wonderful work
for the boys and except our de:tr Y. M.
C. A they have everything else backed
off the map."
A letter from Alex I'arkcr. on board
U. S. 8. Annapolis, states: ' I have
been hi the navy since I'JOS and have
never seen no many happy sailors, ai
though we are at war. The snnie on
their faceit is enough to convince a
parson that they appreciate the gift1-"."
This is in nrference to Christmas pack

among the most interesting mail re
