A SCENIC TRIP From Camp Shelby, Miss., to Camp Upton, N. Y., as Told in Letter x BY FLOYD ENOS Describes Journey in a Very Interesting Letter to His Sister. The following letter has been received by Miss Esther Enos from her brother, Eloyd. who is now in an eastern camp ready to go over seas. Her brother, Roy Enos, who left here last October is already “over there - ’. He left the United States three weeks ago: Camp Upton, Monday Eve. Dear Sister: Well, sis.. 1 have seen a few things since I last wrote you a letter, and do wish all of you could have taken the trip with me; things that I had always wanted to see but never expected to. 1 will tell you as near as possible of the trip. We left Camp Shelby, 11:30 a. m. Thursday in fine. Pullman cars; Elzey. Brill. Staley and I had a state room in one of the cars, which was good enough for anyone to live in. Our first, stop was Merridian, Miss., when the Red Cross people gave us things to eat and smoke. The next city of interest was Birmingham, Ala. If you remember, that city is noted for steel shops. We went through there at night and lights from the shops were very attractive. Next to Virginia, and the Blue Ridge mountains, which were as beautiful as could be. Oh, wait a minute, we struck Tennessee before Virginia. Our first ■stop in that state was Chattanooga: there I had the opportunity of seeing Lookout Mountain. Next we got off for a parade at Knoxville. Tenn., which sets down in a big valley. Saturday we came to Roanoke, Va„ another parade. We went through Baltimore some time at night and early Sunday morning, through Wash ington, D. C. The White House could be seen plain from the car. Went through Trenton.’* K J. nrtrt JerseCity, then to New York City. It is hard to realize what a large place that is. and I only seen a part of it. I seen a pert, of Brooklyn Bridge, the Hudson Bay and river, and so verv many things which made my eyes big as dollars. We went under the Hudson river, through a tunnel which is 3 miles long. You know we were to go to Camp 'MiL-J, v>vZ. Heauqualleia Cv. left Shelby a few hours before we did and they went to Camp Mills, but had no more and got there until they were ordered to Camp Upton, as Mills was too crowded. We will not be here very long, but this is a fine camp. We live in barracks, and ae way out on the end of Long Island. N. Y., only four miles from the coast and sixty miles from New York City. The climate here is fine, I feel better already, although it is much cooler. I like it better. Tomorrow we are to get our new clothes; hobnailed shoes; wrapped leggins, like I have at home and a woolen cap. If we go to Camp Mills soon, all of us get a 48 hour pass to visit New York and I do hope we get to go also I would like very much to see Roy. One good thing, our drilling days are over for the rest of our time in the states, nothing to do, but eat and sleep and guard duty once a week. When you answer this, address it to Bat. A. 139 F. A., Camp M'lls, 3?th Division, and 1 will get it sooner or later. Send it to Camp Mills, as the rest of our division is there, and if we don’t go there soon it will be sent here. 1 will close for this time and hope you are still getting along all right, and don’t worry about me because you know I am nearly 2i years of age; nearly a man, and can take care of myself. With love to all, “FOGGIE.” P S,—Am sending Babe scenes of Knoxville, Tenn, where we held a big parade. o — Reports received from the United States Empoyment Service show that omen have engaged in ra’lroad tank painting, hardware industry ptocesses, garage management, and ranch work, as well as many other industries untried by them befo.*« the war Processes in hardware, industries include the work of screw machine hands, spot welders, gas welders, dip braziers and drill prose and bench work.

Will the Stars and Stripes Float Over the City of Metz? Many American editors are imprest with the significance of the statement of Marshal Foch in a cabled message to the Knights of Columbus: “It was from Metz that Lafayette went to help your ancestors, and we shall one day see your victorious banner floating in Metz.” The Richmond Journal is convinced that before the present season for open warfare closes “the Stars and Stripes will float over the city of Metz,” despite the fact that it is a “long, hard road” according to Colonel Azan, the distinguished French officer. In THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week, the leading article gives a glowing description of all the incidents relating to the first great American victory in Europe in which our army, with the gallant F'rench, wiped out the St. Mihiel salient in twenty-seven hours and shows how this victory affects the future downfall of Metz. Accompanying this article is a splendid full-page colored map, with a complete index, of the terrain now being fought over by the American troops.
