U. S. Men Planning Big Parade What's j
Doing in France.
Emil Broberg of Circle street has re
ceived an interesting letter from his
Brother, Sven, who is in Claviux, France,
with the .'SOTth infantry. In speaking of!
a letter which he received from his broth- r
er written Aug. 127 and delivered to him ;
about Feb. 5, he says: "It was very slow j
in getting here. It, was mixed up in the i
companv. Now I am in Headquarters
company, 3l7th division, so you see 100
other men and mvself have been trans
ferred from the :i()8th to the H()7th. It
was done to (ill the places of the wound
ed and those who were killed in the
;i07th. Don't worry about it, because
we are going home soon.
"I should like to send you a souvenir
from France, but I can't because we
haven't been paid for several months. 1
am sorry, but I will send you a souvenir
just as soon as I can.
"We are out drilling everv day, squads
right about and squads left about. 1
suppose you don't know anything about
it, but we certainly do and we are well
drilled for the big parade we are going
to have in New York, going up Fifth
avenue. We get guard duty every other
day, two hours on and four hours oil.
"There is a big French prison camp
here, where we keej o,0U0 German pris
oners. They are a tough bunch of men
to guard, but we are not afraid of them.
We have loaded rifles and fixed bayonets
and there are a lot of us guards to
gether. We have a barracks for the band
to play for us at night and we have
boxing matches and moving pictures for
entertainment.
"We have a few inches of snow here in
F'rance, but it is very cold. In the sum
mer it is very warm. There are a lot
of grapevines in France and the farmers
make wine out of the grapes. They make
a lot of money on it and they sell it to
the American soldiers, three francs a
bottle. That is 73 cents a bottle and
cognac is $2 a bottle, but it is very
strong, just like whiskey, and it doesn't
take much to make a fellow1 drunk.
"We sit in our barracks at night and
sing soldiers' songs and we have a great
time together. We have to do our own
washing and clean up our guns in good
shape. Rules are very strict in the army.
"There are a lot of wild rabbits in the
woods. The Frenchmen go hunting ev
ery day.
"Did you know that Charles Arhuckle
had been killed in action in France, and
a lot of 6ther chums of mine?
"There are a lot of big, beautiful farms
in France and big mountains and deep
valleys. It looks very beautiful in the
summer time. I have been all over
France, fighting for our rights."
