George Mitchell, he who used to

I think 1 devoured even tin* ndvev

It M‘*‘ms a shame that so many or
the hoys that came out did not get » *
lake the till) over which 1 am glad l
hud th*- chance not withstanding the
fact that l did not get to see any of
the real bu.-i ness being sent to Eng

on theii way over, so the most 1 g>t
was to read about the fighting th •

The Culinary Department is under the management of

to take leave or furloughs to differ
ent parts of France and to Germany
ami I hope to get a chance to take one
or two in before I am ready to come
accross but one thing is a fact if you
are in the army you don’t toll anybody
what you want to do you do as you
aie wanted to do just take whatever
is handed out and perhaps 1 may gel
one of the trips and perhaps not.
The hoys that have taken them in
say that there is a lot to see and that
the trips are wonderful , one’s leav,'
takes you to the city of Nice with a
chance to visit across the Italian ho -
der, also a trip to the popular Monte
Carlo where the big gambling is pull
od. but of course restricted as far
a soldier is concerned, he is not ex
pected to have any jack to gamh' •
with any way so why worry, another
is to Paris for three days which is
worth while hut as 1 have already had
a day in Paris 1 can get along witn
that.
I saw one of tlie boys through her**
in the early spring Taylor the short
stop on our ball team; he was going
home and was in the insurance depot.
Must be out of the service in Seattle
by this time.
Had a letter from Uussel Calvert
and a letter from Woods, tho boy with
the telegraph department and was *u
Anchorage when he was inside last
winter. They are not so very far from
me but have not been able to get an
other letter from them since 1 answer
ed the letter.
Have been on the lookout for some
of the boys to come through Brest but
to date have not been able t see any
more.
Uet you would like to lake a t»in
down town here with me and sit down
to a nicecold bottle of the regulai
champagne which sells for fifteen
franks (2.80) and all that you car*
to buy and plenty of Madamoisellos
to help you drink it as well as all the
bar tenders who are young girls or
women.
Kvcry house almost * has a uivi^
side bar and they are working all tie*
time and Sunday too up to 9:30 p. m.
There are not many places of amuse
ments such as theatres or dance halls
here in 11 rest so the cafes of what 1
would call just plane booze joints are
the ones to tret the play. Your busi
ness here is nihl as there are very few
tobacco stores and 1 have seen no
pool rooms at all out side of the ^.
M. C. A. huts.
Weather here for three weeks has
turned summer and it is not so had a
place to live. May tret the fever and
want to >ro home when I tret my
chance hut am not worrying much on
that.
Glad you said you would send me
boat fare when 1 arrive in Seattle
I will have a long trip from X. Y.
where I no doubt will be discharged
and may be broke as you think by the
time I get to Seattle. Perhaps 1 can
stow away or get the sympathy of the
boat’s crew for a poor war worn vet
eran to get passage back to the ter
minal city of the Alaska R. R. Was
sorry to learn of Art Specker’s death
as 1 knew Art to be one of the finest

Hope the business is going fine and
that you are not holding the boys up
