Left that camp on May 112, 1918, and went to Camp Mills, Long Is land. On the 17th of May we embarked for France and next day left New York harbor. We were on the water until June 1st, when we landed in Liverpool, England, and went to Camp Knotty Ash. On the 4th of June we were trans. ferred to South Hampton and on the oth went across the English channel to Le Havre, France. On the 15th of June we went to Camp De Mucon where we were trained until July ard, when we went up to Chateau-Thierry to start the great drive. There is where I said good-bye to everybody ; with the Field Artillery, I was directly behind the infantry. We were later in the drive on the Vesle riv- er. I was three days in Fismes, and then we left and walked nights for sev. enteen nights at the rate of forty kilo- meters a night, when we arrived at the Argonne Forests where we engaged inp one of the bloodiest fights of the war, You no doubt have read lots about it, We drove the Hun seventy kilometers then we biked back toa small town in France and got on a train and came to Ypres, Belgium. We started another drive, but just as we were going through Brussels, the capital of Belgium, the armistice was signed, There I stayed in one of the finest chateaus in that country and served as a cook for the officers, I can never for- get those days and how the girls and women ran out as wé arrived in the various towns, throwing their arms around us and kissing us. Iam gladit is all over and I now want to get home as soon as possible, to see my old friends, I visited Laval, one of the other day. 1 had myself weighed and tipped the beam at 17¢t pounds, stripped, and I am getting heavier all the time ; 50 you see I am not losing any flesh worrying.

The decrease may be attributed largely to the high price of feeders last fall as well as the high cost of feed stuff. It is estimated that forty-five per cent. of the Lancas ter county farmers are feeding steers during the present wmter. Adams county ranks second with twenty-four per cent. and York county third with 1 43 9 f : — already soid their fat cattle.

It seems as though there are some sportsmen worthy of the name in Mil'- beim, judging from their treatment of the red fox. It seems that this color of fox is fast becoming extinct: at least there are few of them in comparison with bis more disreputable brother, the grey fox. Having at heart the perpetu. ation of the species, several hunters played fair with a fox which they had tracked to his lair in the mountains, The decision was that if they tug out a grey fox he would be shot, and if be should be one of the other color, he should go unhurt. After several hours’ work the hunters came upon their Quarry and when he bounced out of his hole displayed a fine coat of red fur, whereupou the true sportsmen waved him a happy good-bye. There are a few true sportsmen, and E. L. Stowr and Ray are among them, ¥
