18 ALL EAGER TO GO TO FR ANCE Newsy Letter Written by Harrisburg Soldier From Training Camp Samuel Klopovitz has sent a newsy, entertaining letter from Camp Hancock which conveys the com forting information that this camp is notably healthy and that all hands are eager to get to France and see real action. The Camp Hancock notes will be appreciated by the host of friends of those mentioned. Here is the letter: Augusta, Ga., Dec. 2, 1917. Dear Friend: Well I guess you thought I got lost. W'ell we were, kept pretty busy and I just happened to forget to write to you. I am still receiving the Tele graph, for which I thank you very much. I would not miss the Tele graph for anything. I need Ihe paper, and know it does as much good as the training, for if I did not have the paper to read I don't think I would be able to drill. I get all the latest news, war news, news from home town find good ed itorial page and of course the sport ing page. Arthur sends me a bunch every night and the fellows are certainly eager to get it. I want to congratulate the Tele graph on their good work in help ing to raise the Y. M. C. A. fund. I will surely say that the Y. M. C. A. is certainly doing a good work for the boys here in camp and the "Y" shack is nearly always filled as the boys know where to go for recrea tion and for entertainment. I ihank the people in Harrisburg for re sponding so generously to the "Y" fund. I see where the "Rainbow Divi sion" finally landed in France. I don't know when we will go, but I know that the boys are all eager to go. We want to do our share. Since General Clement returned from France, we will wait patiently to hear what he has to say. If we are given the chance and shipped across, I am sure we will make Penn sylvania be proud of us. We have been nicknamed "The Division of Death" and I am sure we will live | up to our name. We are still drilling hard and pre paring to meet the foe. We are put ting extra effort on the bayonet drills as the Germans are weak on bayonet lighting. _ Last night we were entertained in camp by seeing war pictures. Some of the boys felt like killing some of the Germans that were shown on the screen although they were already captives. I guess all the soldiers were made happy on Thanksgiving as we all enjoyed a real turkey dinner, even the boys in France were given the same treat. I was sorry that the Bth Regiment was broken up but if it is for the betterment of the country, I guess all the boys are well satisfied. We are now comfortably situated, as our tents are fixed up almost like home. We have wooden floors and sides, stoves, electric lights and even some of the tents have wooden doors. We sleep very comfortably as the stove is kept going and we have good warm blankets. We are also being well fed and they all see that we enjoy good health. Everything here is nice and clean, also sanitary conditions prevail. I guess you already know that the • boys in Camp Hancock are the healthiest bunch of boys in any camp in the United States. Very few deaths have occurred here, mostly due to the care they take of us. I guess this is all I have to write this time so I will close with best regards to everybody. Your friend. SAM KLOPOVITZ. CAMP NOTES William Rudy's work was appre ciated when he was promoted to Ist 1 I private. Fred Stieffer who was home on I a furlough was sorry he could not j stay for Thanksgiving. Philip London got drunk on Thanksgiving. It was the first cigar he ever smoked. Edgar Myers who was sent to the rifle range will be able to sing all to j himself now. H,e has plenty ofj room. Ike Freedman is now known as j the biggest eater in camp. Red Ritchie l ates to wash dishes. He says he never done that at home. Rummell don't like to get up in the morning so early to clean up. Bryan Mogul is some hvinter. He almost shot a rabbit on Thanksgiv ing. Paul Myers broke all camp rec ords for broad jumping, also hop, step and jump. Ed. Hilton did not like the results of the Tech and Central game. "Fat" Bennet is now on ihe divi sion team, also coach of the Co. D: team. "Fat" W r arner nearly went crazy! when he heard the results of the, Tech and Central game. These are all Harrisburg boys. 1 Allentown Plant Gets Liberty Truck Contract Allentown. Pa., Dec. 14.—The lat est war contract which has been let to an Allentown concern Is that which has just been received from the Government by the Bethlehem Mo tors Corporation. The contract calls for the delivery of more than $2,000,000 worth of Class B three-ton Liberty trucks, during the first six months of next year, and in all probability the amount of the contj-act will be very materially increased shortly after proQUCtion is actually started.
