BUSY AT SHELBY Herman Haig, Bugler for Battery A, Writes Sister, Mrs. Lawrence Green OF LIFE IN CAMP Says When 139th Field Artillery Lands in France, Germans Will Retreat. Letter front Bugler Herman Haag, at Camp Shelby, to his sister, Mrs. Green: Camp Shelby, Oct. 27, 17. Dear Sister: Received your letter and the pictures and as you wanted to know about our camp, will try and tell you a little about it. Camp Shelby is located on the Missippi Central railroad and the nearest town of importance is Hattiesburg, twelve miles from here; about fifteen thousand population. It is like all towns of its size that you see in the south, very far behind the times and much different than our northern cities. The government is spending a large amount of money on improvements and in time Camp Shelby will he a very nice place. The latest improvements are the electric lights. They have them installed in all tents and it makes a great deal of difference in the appearance of the place. A person approaching it at night would imagine himself entering a large city. Through the day it would be hard to find a more busy place. Every way you look one can see officers drilling troops, and all of the men are sure being drilled into share for the coming battle with the devil’s brother (meaning the kaiser) and the quicker it comes the better I will like it. Newspaper reports state that the kaiser has offered any of his troops a large reward for the capture of an American officers and would get him to tell anything he knew. That officer could tell him more in five minutes about modern warfare than he or his slaves, he is driving, will ever know. When you hear about the 139th U. S. Field Artillery landing in France you will then be able to hear of the real retreat of the Germans, because when we leave we will be as well trained as any of good old Uncle Sam’s troops that ever carried a gun. Well sister, will close hoping to hear from you soon. Your brother. BUGLER HERMAN HAAG. Bat. A.. 139 th U. S. F. A Camp Shelby, MF KELLER GETTING FAT Bernie Keller, at Camp Shelby, writes to his parents, Mr. and Mis. John Keller, of High street: Camp Shelby, Oct. 29, 1917 Dearest Mom and Dad: — Just got your letter and it makes me feel good to get letters from home. It makes camp life a lot more cheerful and the time goes faster so write me when ever you get a few spare moments even if it is only a line or

two. Why, yes mamma I am getting a:l your mail. I got the three dollars from grandpa and have received ten dollars from you since I have been down here. Have also received the stationery and handkerchiefs and that box of eats and believe me it makes me feel good to think that there is some one who cares for me back home Mamma I do not want any comforts or pillows for we have a stove in our tent and it gives enough heat to keep us all war and more like it and tbev would only be In the way for we have to make our beds every morning before breakfast. Tell dad that I bet 1 am a better housekeeper than what he is and I am not kidding about it either. I had my picture taken and if you should happen to get one. I do not want you to be surprised but. listen I just thought I would write and toll you so when you get it you will know who it is. Say, they had an awful time taking it. Am getting so fat that they could hardly get me fixed so they could get me all in one picture but I guess at that I am all there except my false teeth and thev are in a good place for they are in my mouth This sun just suits me. I am getting as white as one of the darkies that wait around camp and he Is certainly white. If you would take off j one of their heads and lay It in the ! grass I am afraid we would p’ck it up and burn it for coal. Tell dad that he had better start eating mush and eat some every day for I may take him and wrap him around my little finger but on second thought I guess I won’t for it might hurt his feelings, as for Jake-good i night!—he looks small to me * BERNIE

Lloyd Shackley, at Camp Shelby, Miss., Thinks That the War IS NEAR THE END Does Not Think Much of the Country in the South. The following letter has been received from Lloyd Shackley by his grandfather Daniel Shackley of this city: Camp Shelby, Oct. 21, 1917 Dearest Grandparents:— I thought I would drop you a few lines to let you know I was feeling O. K. and hope this letter finds you the same way. I like camp life alright but I am like the rest when it comes to likeing the place. I do not think very much of it for it has only hills and swamps '.ll over it. I don’t know but 1 suppose it is very cold in Indiana, but it only gets cold down here at night and very hot in the day time. We drill 8 hours a day and have school at night and do not have very much time to write. I think we will be home by spring or on our way to France, for we were only supposed to be here four months and I think it will be home for I think that the war is just about closed. 1 don’t know what they think in Indiana. Well, it is getting Mme to go to bed so I will have to close. From your grandson, LOYD SHACKLEY. Battery A. 139 Field Artillery, Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss. Hope this letter finds you all well and I am the same.

Harve Steele. * Hattiesburg. Miss: Camp Shelby. Sat., Oct. 1 1. Dear Mother:— 1 will drop you a few lines to l«t you know that I am well and hope you the same. Well. 1 wrote to Ralph Burnet today •and you tell him to write or I will get him. Ask Frank Riffe if he is coming down here when he goes in the draft. There are about 5.000 men coming down here from Indiana. They will arrive some time next week. 1 hope he does come here and the rest of the boys from Salem, for it would seem more like home if they do. Well, mother I got your tablet that you sent me and was sure glad to get it but you said that Lord boy said that writing tablets were 25c apiece but they are not they are only sc. You can’t believe all they write. Tell Frank Riffe not to worry if he has to come down here for I won’t leave any of the lizards crawl in 'its mouth but it will be a hard thing to do for he is all mouth. Ha. Ha. Well tell him not to worry while I am around going to get him while I am around for I will knock him cold. I am getting so hard that a bullet will glance right off and never phase me. that is getting pretty hard. The alligators are so large that we use them for pulling cannon. Ha. Ha. I caught one in my washpan 18 feet long the other morning, he was taking r bath. Ha. Ha. If you can’t read this let some one read it for you. Let Bob read it. Well I will have to close for this time honing to hear from you soon. From your son, HARVE STEELE p, s.—Tell Bob if he wants one of these big alligators I will send hint one in the next letter. Ha.
