WANT TO FIGHT After Real American Spends a Few Days in Camp Says France Conter. PREFERS THE DRILL To Work in Headquarters and is Getting Anxious to do Bit in Trenches, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Conter have received the following interesting letter from their son, France: Camp Taylor, Ky„ May 29, 1918 Dear Folks: I am still in the headquarters doing I' work and 1 will be glad when the week is over. 1 would rather be drilling. If I had to be in the office all the time l it wouldn't be long till I went bug;. It may be safer alright enough, but I for one. will take my chances in the trenches rather than sit in an effice all day waiting for something to do. And it wouldn't be so bad if it were for all day only, but it also means all night I have had a few nice horse back rides at night though. Laat night we got our last bunch of men into the 7tth Company, We only expected 164 and we got 193 so as a result about 30 of them Had to sleep on the floor. I'll net that they think the army is a devil of a place. I will be relieved here Sunday morning and will start to drilling the next morning. The 84th Division under General Hale leaves in a few days for . So that will leave nothing here for a time but the Depot Brigade. It is my understanding tliat they are going to send some units < f 'artillery here and make this an artillery camp. The Depot Brigade is t > ’ be expanded also, and hereafter there 1 will be very little infantry or engineer ing training given here. It will he 'used primarily as a receiving station and an artillery school. I have not had a chance to look up the Decatur boys yet but I am going to do this at the first opportunity. Ami also, tell mother that 1 shall write the i letters that she asked me to look after. 11 have been pretty busy and while 1 i have tried to reach everyone, I have no doubt that there are a few I have missed. f was surprised to hear of I engagement to 1 guess that ' everybody’s doing it but me. At present the army suits me immensly and I believe that I would rather be serving the U. S. than taking care of n i wife and trying to duck the draft. Not [that I think is trying to duck the army. But I do not think that he ever had any thrilis at the sight of a khaki uniform. It would certainly he a treat to watch you herding chickens but I will

probably be denied the privilege of. seeing it this coming summer. Do you see how the Yanks are tearing them up on the western front? Just] a couple more months and there are , going to be some sick Huns. That bunch that just left was tugging at the harness like a thoroughbred waiting for the barrier to fall and when the news came of their transfer, and of their possible early shipment *o France they drilled as they never drilled before. Even the foreigners seemed to understand and they went out of camp with the bands playing and J (lags flying. And when the commanding general wished them "God-speed I —over the top and give them hell." II thought for it while that they would [tear the train off the tracks, getting on. 1 Each bunch that comes in seems to catch the spirit of the thing. They are for the most part fellows from small towns who have not heretofore come to the realization of the seriousness of the war. But they are awakening. It is a pity that more people < innot visit one of these cantonments i id see for himself the preparations ‘ 'at are being made. It is too bad t lat they cannot come and see the < villans flock in here by the tho >- nds and at the end of a short time march out again transformed into I jitters. Their early heart-sickness ’ r. id fear leaves, and as they begin to ' |-<:alize that they are a pan of the Imi ense machine America is preparing 5 t > stamp out the Hun. so soon do ’ they begin to forget their longing for the ones at. home and a sort of queer ’ yearning for the trenches takes its 1 1 lace. It dosn’t seem possible that anyone should wish to be on the firing ■ line but they do. 1 know, because I have wished for it myself The way 11they teach you down here, you can't hel|> it if you are an American. ■ I Well dad. 1 must close now and gyi B to work. Write me as often as you r find time. Mother tells me that she .. Is coming down hi about a month and t there is only one thing to do and Hint ■is to come with her law still hungry 1 for that dinner at the Seelbach which 1 never got. The next time you come
