Mr. Philip Silver: Dear friend Phil—Enclosed vou will find clipping: that I cut out of the New York Herald, which is published over here as an European edition. I cut it out of the paper for Aug-ust 12 and I thought it might give you a few pointers in your business. You probablv have been to New York on your buvinj? trip by this time and have probably seen some of these models which are mentioned in the clipping if not so much the better. How

There is a small town about a mil« from here and that Is the only place to which we can go doing our spare time. The town is about the size of Farmersburp, so you can imagine how largo it is. There are plenty of places where you can buy all the beer and wine that you want, but I never go into thos.--places, as you know that 1 never drank much. There are. certain hours in th»^ day that soldiers arc allowed to go

into those places and during tbo^a hours the places are always full. The French .ship wine just like we ship oi-i in the States and it is plentiful over here. Cigarettes are cheap over here. Camels are 7c a package and other cigarettes run in proportion in price. The government stores and the Y. M. C. A. sell them to the soldiers. Bull Durham tobacco and cigarette papers are issued free to soldiers every ten days.

A great many German prisoners were brought into this camp the other day that were captured by the Americans on the front. A good many are just young boys and they are clad in American uniforms which are dyed green and marked white P. W.

I have not received any news from home yet and the only way that I hear anything is through newspapers -which some of the other boys from Terre Haute have been gettinp. Most of them are old papers and are dated before the time we left the States. I wrote home to the folks to send me a few papers each week. I met a Lieut, Worthington here the other day. fie is a graduate of Rose Poly and is a brother of Mr. F. H. Worthington, who is superintendent of the Pennsylvania R. R. at Terre Haute.

I have nothing more to write, so will close, but let me hear from you as often as possible. Your friend.
