SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE Dec. 1, 1918. Dearest Mother: Another uneventful week as far as you would be interested: hence, no news', but quite to the contrary here. The first locomotive to tra verse this country is standing about five hundred feet from our camp, and some sensation it was, not only the natives stood aghast with mouths ppen, but some of the rest of us hadn't seen a train for so long and the joy of seeing one again mingled with the fact of having helped get it here, produced about as spectacular a scene as did those who had never seen one before. The tracking out fit is the most efficient outfit I have ever seen, each man is a part of the machine, and if he fails to hold his end up it "jimmies the whole words, but the men are not slackers because the war is over, they lay as high as eight thousand feet of track a day. Have about three days more work laying the "Y" and a spur, then the big idea will be to get to Vancouver and then home. i Some of our men are put 6 nde tached service, and suppose I will be one of them, and perhaps will be here for a couple of weeks yet working up final report. If such is the case, when I do start for Vancouver I'll go straight through and won't have to stop and help clean up some camps as we go in. Don't send anything of any importace to me through the mail and put a big return address on your letters, because I am joing to be a rolling stone in a few days, until I get home. A man brought in a cougar last week that measured nine feet from tip to tip. One can never see them unless he knows how to hunt for them, because they are bigger cow ards than men and have better eyes. Sunday I went to the ocean and came back through an Indian reser vation. I kiled a grouse with a rock and Mrs. Poulson fried it for lunch. Will see you soon. Lovingly, ' GENE. Mother!

See the chairman of your auxiliary; give in your name, help him get other names. It is your work. We have made a record in Greene county; we must keep the good work up. We are depending on you.
