Wal,on D - Hood, Camp Pike
Army Officer, Writes His
Brother Here About Army
Y. M. C. A.
Camp Pike, Ark., Nov. 1, 1917.
Mr. K. It. Hoed,
Morgan City, La.
My d-ar Brother:
Received your welcome leter and
am very proud to hear the good
news and that your people are
thoroughly alive. Your showing on
the Liberty Bonds is excellent and
1 congratulate Morgan City and
your Parish on this showing. It is
also good news of the success of the
Army "Y" fund. Go to it and get
after it hard for the Lord knows
theirs is a wonderful work,
What on earth would the boys do
f 0 r amusement when a quarantine
comes along keeping them from
town if it were not for the "Y",
and you know we sometimes get
such things as the measles and such
like and all have to stay home.
The Army "Y" is not only serv
ing boys and furnishing them tech
nical books as they need them. One
might not think they were so much
in demand but they are especially
with an outfit like mine as the Sig-,
nal Corps is made up of highly
technical men and one cannot ex
pect to advance to any great de
gree unless he is in this class and
"Bones" hard. We are teaching,
studying« drilling, and working
about 14 hours per day and the
boys are so interested they havn't
time to run around much as I have
about 140 Non-Commissioned Of
ficers to appoint out of my crowd
'rithin the next thirty to sixty
days and its to be done solely on
ability and the boys realize that
and are working. And during all
this mad rush for knowledgè the
"Y" is furnishing the technical
books at least some of them, and
also for the boy that don't care to
run to town they send his money
home for him, also sell him stamps,
and give him stationery, a good

to
place to sit down and enjoy one of
the latset magazines or almost any
newspaper desired and if he don't
care for that they will give him à
movie of the highest type or a fa
mous lecturer or a play of some
kind, in fact, any and everything
to entertain and elevate.
The general atnvwphere around
these places IS the muni nuiiiviirvV—* I
to the soldier of anything except j
home, and deserves the heartiest j
support that can possibly be given. |
There is no question of a doubt j
but that we will ship over and the ,
minute we are ready I want to go j
so does every man in my battalion :
and our whole study and thought is j
to outdo the Kaiser and if working j
and planning and American ingénu- I
ity will do it, 1 think we can, as J
they are all on the job with that j
firm determination that leads to j
success. We all realize that this is ;
fight to the finish and that Ameri- J
can Blood must be sacrificed on the j
Shrine of Liberty and Democracy
and we are ready for it, but in the
meantime the folks at home must
sacrifice with us and when I say
this I do not mean put a few pal
try dollars in and say they have
done their part, for they havn't
They must sacrifice with the boys
that are going over the top—throw
their dpllars behind us until
hurts, economize at home and give
us that support that will make ev
ery last man feel and know that the
folks at home are behind him.
Whether this is done now or not
it will have to be done before this
great bloodshed is stopped and the
world made safe for Democracy.
There will be more Bond Issues
and the boys in the Army will take
their share and continue to take
them as long as they are issued
they will also do their level best to
win this war and the least the civil
ian population can do is to make it
as comfortable for the boys as pos
sible while they are doing this, and
no better way can they do this than
by getting behind this Army "Y"
and supporting it until it hurts.
Every dollar put into this worthy
cause will help to bring good cheer ;
and comfort as well as amusement
to some mother's son deprived of
the motheris influence, also help to
create an atmosphere that is whole- j
some and place such environments
around these young men (that are
the Nation's best) that will make
them truly an asset to good citizen
ship rather than a liability when
this war has ended.
.The Army is doing its best and
really it is wonderful the good this
training will do, we teach men to
take aare of themselves and to know

I wish they would send me down
in Louisiana, and especially Morgan
City. Would certainly enjoy a vis
it with you but this is out of the
question. I have a few Louisiana
boys left, but sent most of them to
Alexandria last week. Hated to
