Letter From Jos. Breneman.
Burgess H. C. Schock handed us
the following very interesting letter
from Joseph Breneman, of this place.
now in France:

Dear Uncle Harry: —

When I read about

because I volunteered w did but
then I am glad that I am over here
as I was in better condition as to my
affairs at the and could make
the sacrifices with no great loss com-
ared to Arthur and some other men
n similar conditions. I know they
wish they could be with me but their
time will come if the war lasts thru
1918. Of course no one can tell just
when it will be over but as you know
the authorities at home are preparing
for a long war and intend to do the
job up brown if necessary regardless
of the cost in men, money and ships.
I will take “time out” now as it
js almost noon and time for dinner.
Just returned from dinner and it was
a fine dinner. Roast chicken, mashed
potatoes, gravy, peas, chocolate,
cream cheese and apple tart. Pretty
fair for a meal in a war stricken
country. Most of the hardships that
we undergo are either highly exagger-
ated or imaginary as you most likely
have discovered from my letters be-
fore this.

We have been enjoying exception-:
ally fine weather here ever since Jan.
12th. Nearly every day is clear and
just cool enough to make a person
feel snappy and full of the joy of
life, the snow has gone into the
ground and even the mud is drying
away. I can’t quite make myself be-
lieve that the Winter is over but the
weather seems to indicate that such
is the case. During jhe fecent fine

thilik- the German Goverr.ient is go-
ing to float another loan early in
March and several victories by their
troops would go far toward making
the loan a success. Of course the Al-
Kes are working directly against the
defeats and I hope our artillery will
be called out for work about that
time. This is pure conjecture on my
part so I do not think the censor will
do any cutting because of it.
By the way I read a fine article
about our purpose and the probable
art which we will play in this war
in the Review of Reviews called, The
Third Ypres by Frank H. Sunonds.
As I see it the predictions have a good
chance of being fulfilled if the war
lasts thru 19118, which contingency
the article takes into account.
The work of the batteries in our
Remigent is, all men according to
schedule, which is made out by the
powers that be. So much gun drill,
go much theoretical instruction, so
much calisthenics, so much gas mask
drill, and so much ect. per week. Sat-
urday afternoon is devoted to sport.
My Captain discovered that I knew
something about base ball and an-
nounced to the men that I was an ex-!
professional at the game. So as Sat-
urday, vesterday, was a fine clear day
he said to me, “take the Battery out
somewhere and devote the time to
sport.” No detailed instructions you
see, just a general order.
work out our own salvations in such
eases and they come up several times
a day too. Well I discovered that the
Battery supply Sergeant had charge
of some base ball equipment and
shortly after one o’clock I had the
battery formed, detailed the 1st
squad to get the bats, bases, ete. and
we started out to dry field I had lo-
eated in the morning during part of
the rest period. It was about a fif-
teen minutes’ walk and on the way I
figured what I would do and how I
would go about it. By the previous
conversations with some of the ser-
beants and corporals I found out who
were able to play ball so when we
arrived at the filed I made my talk.
I picked out two players, tossed a
coin and had the two pick up sides.
I then set the bases and ordered one.
team into the field for ten minutes
ractice. Then I started a game of
ins and cuts among those not selected
for the big game. After both sides
had practiced I started the game and
umpired myself. If I do say so the
game went off very well and there
were only one or two of my decisions

ball game in France. Sounds funny

and will do some playing too as soon
as it gets warmer.

From Samuel Keller
A letter from Samuel T. Keller to-
day says: Somewhere in France,
My Dear Parents,

Mary and I was very glad to get
them. I have not seen Walter as yet,
| and chances are that I won’t but I
would like very much to see him.
I certainly would like to have had
some of that goose that you had for
Christmas. We had a very poor
meal, but a fellow couldn’t kick. This
is just a new station and must have
time to get in running order. Not
even a ship goes into commission thai
runs good at the beginning.
You must not expect too many
letters from me, because I write at
least once a week. Now this is the
third attempt I made to wrile to
you and have been interrupted by air
raids so if T have luck to finish this
without an interruption I will be real
glad. They have been pretty regu-
lar of late and some of them being
sunk, so you see what we are up
against. ’

and are more comfortable. I do not
know if we will get over for the
Spring drive. I do wish we would.
We are all anxious to learn and get |
“over there.” Major T. B. Appel
| of Lancaster, has been giving us in-
structions in the use of the gas
masks. To me it is interesting. We
have a fine bunch of boys in the Di-
| vision and we have good times. Best
wishes to all in the old town.
“Chubby”.
It will be remembered that Gantz
was an important factor in many of
the victories of the Mount Joy High
School basket ball team last season
and he is pulling off the same stuff
as a soldier. He enclosed two clip-
pings, extracts of which are append-
ed. “Central High School five of
Chattanooga lost to Evacuation Hos-
pital No. 4 by a score of 38 to 18.
Gantz, the soldier centre was the
chief factor in the victory.”
Another says: “Dead-Eye Dick
Gantz secured ten field goals for the
Doctors and that’s the cause of Mec-
Calls being defeated in the gym at
Chattanooga by a 32 to 22 score.”
