FRANK McDONALD WRITES HOME FROM THE NAVY

New York City, June 15, 1918. Just got back from. France, completing my fourth trip in even three months; now that is doing pretty good for us. • Our last trip was one of some excitement, and it got quite interesting as the days went along. On May 28 we were about 600 off the French coast when at about 9 p. ip. there was an English mercdant ship sunk within a mile of us. We could easy see the glare of the explosion and hear the report. The next day one of the American destroyers got put out of action In a surface fight with an armed German sub and had to withdraw owing to the Huns placing a shot through the stern of the destroyer and disabling the steering engine. And on May 31, at 9 a. m., the U. S. S. President Lincoln was twice torpedoed and sent to the bottom in just twenty-five minutes, with twenty-seven of the crew of 740 missing. It is the first transport that iwe have lost. The Lincoln was a big ship with a carrying capacity of 5,000 soldiers and about 20,000 tons of cargo; was a slow ship and was sunk about 600 miles

from. France on her way back to the States. The loss of men was small, considering the place where the ’ ship was sunk. Along in the afternoon the German sub came to the surface and took pictures of the crew and looked in all of the boats for the captain but failed to find him, so they took the executive officer and two enlisted men as their prisoners and sailed • out. Don’t think that they got far because the destroyer Smith sighted a sub and run it down, and after dropping two depth bombs got almost positive proof that the sub’s sides were caved in and she now lies on the bottom of the sea with the Lincoln. The crew of the Lincoln was picked up about midnight by the destroyers, and on June 2 we got over 700 survivors aboard the destroyer, and on June 5 we sailed for the States, arriving June 12. We make it across and back in sixteen to twenty days, just depends on what ships are with us. When we go alone we make world’s records, have the quickest time record yet —sixteen days and fourteen hours fromi New York to , France, and return.

We don’t stay very long in either port and most all of our time is spent on the sea. So far I have no complaint to make except that it sure gets tiresome being at sea so much. Suppose you people are all as busy as can be with the work that farming requires, and it won’t be long until harvest time. Got a letter from Tott and they have a new place to live in now; said that she liked the place real well. Don’t know when I will get out that way; would like to pay them all a visit. I always send trinkets and stuff to her nearly every time I make a trip across and back. Was glad that you received the souvenirs and photo all O; K. Guess that I have said about all for this time, so will close.. Yours, as ever, FRANK.

JESSE WISEMAN WRITES FROM NATIONAL CAPITAL

Dearest Home Folks:— Well, how are all of you? I am O. K., never felt better. We sure are having some real summer weathr here. It is a fright here in the day time but at night it gets cool enough to sleep 'under two blankets. I suppose Esther has gone away to school by this time. Did you have a good time at Chicago? 1 sure would have liked to come home before I leave here but I guess there is no chance. We leave here Monday or Tuesday, that is the last report. We do not know where we will be sent from here, but it will be somewhere on the coast, where we will be held up for about ten days, getting our last shot and vaccination, also the final exam, before going across,

I had my picture taken the other day but have not gotten them yet. I saw the proof last evening and they are fairly good. They will be sent home to me from the studio. There are three of them. You may give Beth.and Indus one and keep one at home. I will have to get some more taken for the other kids. I have never gone to Baltimore, as I would have to get a day’s leave from camp and we can not always do that as we have to be here morning and night for roll call. I hope the strawberries are bearing good. I sure would like to help pick ta.-m. We have them here at camp quite often. Well, I will try and finish this letter now. I started it this afternoon but had to quit for retreat and supper. They have had us locked up all day today, that is, we do not dare go outside the post. I will be glad when we are out of here as they sure have been giving us a workout. I was on guard for twenty-four hours last week. We took three hikes of about eight miles, carrying full pack and rifle. I have only been on the rifle range once since I have been here but 1

made better than an average score. The war news looks pretty good now. I do not see where the Germans. have any hopes left of getting\nything but a real threshing, and, believe me, if you could see the bunch here and know bow anx‘ous they are to get a crack at the Fritzies you would realize that they mean business. Well, I can not think of any news; the longer I am here the harder it is for me to write a letter, as every thing is the same each day. I got a box of candy from Bertha and Zelah; it sure does taste good. lam making it last as long as 'possible as it probably is the last home candy I will get for some time. Well, I will close for this time. I will write again the first chance I get, probably tomorrow, so goodbye for this time. With love to all. JESSE E. WISEMAN.

MARINE MAY BECOME SOLDIER

The following interesting letter » from Harvey Phillips, son of Mr. : and Mrs. John R. Phillips, of Me- I Coysburg, has "been handed to us and we have received consent to publish :: „ La’ber Wrach, France, r —--- • —*■ May 26, 1918. Dear Mother and All:-r-Well this is Sunday and a fine day/too. The sun is shining like in August. We go in swimming about every day. The water is cold but its good to be in a place so we can keep clean. I was put in charge of the canteen last Tuesday. We have all kinds of candy, tobacco and toilet articles. Have a stock of over SII,OOO. So you see I have a responsible position. Since I have opened I have sold 2875 Francs. That is about fixe hundred dollars. Pretty good for a kid, eh! Do you think any store averages that much on candy and tobacco in Rensselaer? My hours are 6:00 a. m. to 7:00 p. m., 11:15 a. m. to 1:00 p. m., 5:30 p. m. to 8:30 p. m. If that was all I had to do it wouldn t be bad but I still have to get stores for the galley and keep charge of

the books in both places.* I have been so busy this week, 1 didn’t get to write twice as usual, but now we have all' dur stock on hand available and my work will be much lighter. The only thing I don’t like about it is there is not a very good chance to get any liberty. I can get off on Sunday evenings, but there is no place to go so I guess I will stay aboard and write a few letters. .. Just finished my week’s mending this morning. Had two pair of socks to darn. Two pair of trousers to patch and had to' sew my dress blues so I think I am about as busy

as anyone. I washed some clothing yesterday and have a bucket full for tomorrow. I would rather Wash my own clothes than pay the French people for doing it- . . , * It takes them almost a week to wash, iron and get the clothes back. While we wash them in the morning and by noon they are dry and wear them in the evening. Another thing it’s cheaper to wash our own clothing. Well I guess they are going to make soldiers out of us. At. least we are going to wear the uniform. I am not sure if we seamen have to wear “them” or not. I hope not as I have enough clothes as it. is without getting any more. I think if that’s true I will try and get a transfer to some transport. Well I guess I will quit as it’s almost noon and I have three more letters to write. lam sending you .a copy of our Bill-of-Fare for last week. The B B and C is bread, butter and coffee. I made this out myself as I have that to do now. It was accepted and we are alive now to try another one this week. Give my best regards to everyone. I suppose you have about three hundred little chickens by this time. We have apple pie for dinner. It only takes 58 pies for a meal, also it takes about 700 biscuits, so you see the bakers are busy. I have received all the papers up to the last of April and the others are coming. Don’t let my subscription run out. Pay out my Liberty Bond with the allotment money. I am paying for one myself. That will make about S2OO I am giving Uncle Sam. But I guess everyone else is doing al they can to make it easy for us over here. I suppose Sam is putting in a lot of corn for the soldiers. If you have to use so much com meal why don’t you make corn bread. We have it twice a week and believe me it sure is fine.

Has Wash Cook put up another store, yet? Too 'bad it had to burn but accidents will always happen. Well I started to quit sometime ago so I will do it now. You said something about fried chicken in your last letter. I think I will save mine until 1920. It will taste better after we whip the" Kaiser. Give my bqst to everyone and tell them I said hello. Just imagine me out in a sail boat or swirlfriihg this summer when it’s too hot to rain. Salt water is sure fine to swim in.
