FORMER HOME j
MIES OF DOINGS
IILOIOOI TOWN
Archie Cameron wrttes here from
Forest Gate, London, to Airs. Itose
Wheeler (his daughter) and speaks of
the effect of the war in England. Afa'c
ing mention of the Victory loan which
was raised among the people of Eng
land he states that three and a„ half
billion dollars was raised in a short
time among all classes.
The letter is as follows: "I’ve been
waiting a month for the overland
mail to get here but I guess some
darned Hun got there first with a
torpedo. If I lose much more mail
this way I’ll feel like shooting up an
Internment camp—that is if the op
portunity to shoot some on the field
of battle does not come soon.”
“There is not much chance for my
bunch—reserve corps—to get across
to France. We are all engaged in the
manufacture of ammunition and keep
the supply going full tilt. I have been
trying to get in the active line and
we (pave done much drilling after
working hours. This is in case
something In the line of an invasion
is sprung on the United Kingdom,
but there is no chance of anything
in that line for the Germans are all
going the other way%nd are realizing
the foot .that 'It's a long way to Tip
perary.’
So the old country made good on
the Victory loan. It was all sub
scribed in a short while. As soon as
the prospectus was issued I plugged
and borrowed all I could and now
hold some war bonds which are the
best paper in the world. Just think
of it in a short while they raised
seven hundred million pounds sterl
ing all new money from the people
in the first call after a two and a half
years war and it will amount to over
two billion pounds before the list is
closed.
Yesterday morning I had the first
good feed of hot cakes since I left
Nome. You know the English people
don't really know what hot cakes are.
I could not get them In the restau
rants so decided to try my luck at
cooking breakfast.
Getting a little outfit together I
have started in to batch. AI.v! how
good those hot cakes tasted! I did
not have a plain Iron pan but had
one that was enamelled and the hot
cakes stuck—what did that matter—
but real hot cakes and real honey. I
liked them so well that last night I
had another hot cake session and
turned in and slept the sleep of a
sourdough.
Kiddie, we are all fine here in the
old country, there are no hardships
and we are In the war to win. The
people of the United Kingdom take
It all as a matter of course and
everybody Is busy doing something
to help. Everybody helps, and there
are no kickers.
Now, little girl, please give my re
gards to all old Nomltes and tell them
we arc all doing our little bit to
put the Prussian where he belongs
and It wont be very long before we
accomplish what we have started out
to do.
Best love to you and Bill. Tour’s
always. DAD.
