There isn't much danger, we are so well pro­ tected. You would not believe it if I could tell you, but I believe lots of things now that I would not before I saw them with my own eyes. I got a letter from Clara that last day. I will answer it just as soon as I can get time. I spent the Fourth this year in a way I never thought I would. We had fairly good eats.

From Pvt. Arthur Smith Camp Sheridan, Ala.j Aug. 10. '18. Mr. F. G. Schrein«r, McHenry, 111, Dear Frank--Just got thru reading The Plaindealer. Always get it Sat­ urday evening and it could not come at a better time, because we have a lot of time to ourselves Saturday and Sunday. Am enjoying life immensely, down here in the sunny south, a little warm, but am getting used to that. Some time ago it was 122 in the shade. However, the nights are oool, so we don't .jmind. I see by your paper ,that nearly all the McHenry boys in the first draft haVe gone over the foam. Expect the fighting 45th will get over in about six weeks. . Our officers expect us to do won* ders. Most of our non-coms, have been in the service several years, all regulars. They feel a little peeved toward us drafted men, but we are showing them that we will be there when we go over the top after the Huns. Just now we are having mqre fun than a picnic with our gas masks. Most of us can put them on in six seconds or' less, but when we hike they feel tight. After hiking about four miles our shirts look like a race horse's neck after a hard race, all full of foam. If we take them off would get extra K. P. and nobody cares for that, so we just keep them on. Some time ago our battalion, while out on a three hours' hike, devoured a top box full of water melons in ten minutes. We sliced them with our bayonets. The young darky was tickled to death to s$ll them for 15 and 20 cents each. Am lucky enough to camp across road from our K. C. hall. Have two masses every Sunday, movies' three times a week, boxing matches every Wednesday night. There are probably about two to three hundred boys use this place to write home every night. Will be back in McHenry running Smith Bros.' Ford just as soon as the kaiser is safely hanging on a sour apple tree. Till then I have the pleasure of being your friend, Pvt. Arthur Smith. From Pvt. Walter Fay Somewhere in France, July 17,1918. Dear Mother--Well I am settled and have found time to write. . We left the place where we were stationed at about 9:00 a. m. yesterday morning and asrived here at 8:00 last night, after passing thru some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen. We traveled by motor transportation. We had four trucks, one ambulance Ford, which I drove myself. I had an English St. major, our 1st Sergt. and the officer in charge of the convoy in the Ford. We would go ahead and pick out the r<md and then >¥x #>v t; •C, * ' v* ,i. r ' 'Ms> - f o x * • ' • ; wfe-'. -j-Sr .?v tic* 'M « I - , > - %«V' *, r * ~i fW** , t * , - * IS "ifs f « ' • j i t * ; MS «-•<> w ;ig:' a ; "A f , 2 r'. • »s SAVE N@W FOF| 'Ms fall thwe probably \̂ ill be another Liberty hdm and all of us will be asked to lend our share.

Some­ times one wouldn't show up and I would have to take the officer back to find it. He was a good mechanic and it's a good thing he was as we had plenty of trouble. We had to get trucks from* another company and they picked out the poorest they could find. They even had to toW one in to turn it over to us. I can't begin to tell you how pretty the country is. You would have to see it for yourself. There were any number of horseshoe bends and double MS" turns thru the hills. The country is practically all hilly. On some of hills you could see for miles and some places the road was at the edge of a precipice and one had to drive mighty careful. It was the first time I had put my hand on a wheel since I joined, but I got along fine. It was only sixty miles, but the trucks are slow. These quarters are not as comfor­ table as our others, but we are satis­ fied. The town is very small and the camp is larger than the town. It re­ minds me of Camp Merritt. I have not been around as yet, as I have been very busy, making shelves in my bunk, etc. It is a lot of trouble to pack up, move and get settled again. We eat corn beef and bread when we are on the road that way and it al­ ways tastes good. I didn't go to bed until two the morning before we left, ss X was vu pass until twslv® and guarded the truck from twelve to two and then slept two hours. I just threw my blanket down last night and 1 don't remember anything else. We were all pretty tired, but feel fine today. It was a common sight to aep women making hay along the way. It is awfully warm here, but the nights are cool. I have been in my shirt sleeves all day and have got burned some. Well, 111 have to ck»e for this time as I want to wash my clothes. Hop­ ing you are as well and happy as 1 am, 1 remain, ' Your son, Walter. | News From Corp. Lester Bacon Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bacon receive^ Word this week that their son, Cor- poral Lester Bacon, was in a hos­ pital at Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Mich. He had been sent there as a trainer.
