James W. Beckman Writes From France.

Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bectanan have received the following letter from their eon Jamee, w'ho is now with the expeditionary forces in France: American Exp. Forces, June 7, 1918. Dear Folke: I have surely been doing a lot of continuous travelling the last few weeks, and we got up into the little .place here yesterday. I have* got to see quite a little of France from the train and some marches. We see quite a little now, and I suppose will see more in a tfhort while as we will not likely be here long. There seems to be a great deal of optimism here, and there is a great deal of confidence on the part of both French and English in the Americans. They are surely glad to see them, too. I have not been able to write meantime, and if you knew things as I do you would realize that it is almost impossible here to write except at times. Conveniences are not always at hand and lots of things prevent it, I not had much time ( , to get lonesome for there is always something to do, and the next few weeks will be very rushing. Time was not dull at any time, and we 'had three entertainments on the way over. France is a pretty country, ‘particularly northern France; but it has nothing on America, and it’s America for me every time. It gets quite cold here at night. I have not heard fro|m‘ you yet, but no mail has as yet caught up with us. I hope several of your letters are on the way and that you have received the letters I wrote you. You likely have received the notice of my safe arrival. Know that I always think of you and that I will write when I can. Let me know how you are and everything that will be of interest to me. You will be better able to know about how things are with me by reading the papers. With love and best wishes to you and Dell, Lovingly your son., JAMES W. BECKMAN, 102nd Engrs., A. E. F., A. P. O. 748.

Harry. Hickman Now a Naval Storekeeper.

Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Hickman received a double letter a few days ago from their son Harry, who has been serving in Uncle Sam’s navy on the U. S. battleship Oklahoma, which we publish below: U. S. S. Oklahoma, June 21, 1918. Dear Mother and Father: — Received your letter some few day® ago and was glad to hear from you and that everybody is well at present. lam in the best of health about all the time. I got a letter from Ephriam and Lewis the other day and they said everybody was well there. Well, Ma, the war is still going on. I don’t know when it will ever end, it seems like it never will, but I think one big naval battle will end it all and. I will be in that I think, at least I want to be. “Nub,” you know, is sick yet. Hejs still on the hospital ship. He was getting along fine the last time I saw him. I suppose old Rensselaer is quite dead now that all the young boys have gone away; at that it is not Rensselaer alone for every place in the whole country is the saime, even the ibig cities like New York and Philadelphia, they are all dead too. Did Eva tell you that I had been promoted again? Well £ have gone up as high as I can without getting a commission. I am a chief storekeeper in the pay department of the ship. It is not like a storekeeper on the outside. I have charge of twenty-nine big store rooms. They hold about as much as the city of Rensselaer. Where is "Billy” Eigelsbacih; Is he still in Rensselaer? Give my regard® to everybody. As there is not much news I will close for this time, with lots otf love to Ma and Pa. and Pa. As ever, your son, HARRY HICKMAN. U. S. S. Oklahoma, c o Postmaster, Fortress Monroe, Virginia.

June 28, 1918. Dear Mother and Father:— Just arriving in from sea again so thought I would write. again. We had a fine trip this tiime out, no rough weather to contend with and everything went fine. This is about the first time that it has gone that way. We most generally have a bad trip of it. We are doing lots of drilling now, keeping prepared for action at any time. 1 don’t know when we will get it for you never cam tell. How Is everybody around town, getting along, same as ever I suppose. Earl Hemphill is back on the ship. He is alright now and working with me in the ship’s store rooms. You know I have twenty-nine of thens to take care of and it’s a big job. 1 have thirteen helpers now. We handle about everything that is made, from a carpet tack to a “14’’ gun.. I got a letter from Lewis about a week ago, but I have not answered it yet, but will tomorrow I think if I get time. Ephiriam wanted one of those pictures but I

haven’t any more. I will send him one as soon as I can. I wrote to Don Warren’s sister to get his address. I haven’t heard from him for three years now. Is Billy Eigelsbach still there? If so, tell him that I will write as soon as I can. Well, Ma, there isn’t much to write about right now, so I will close for this time. With love, Your son.

George Mauck of Rensselaer, who was recently transferred from Purdue to Camp Mills, Long Island, New York, writes his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Mauck, as follows: Camp Mills, New York, „ June 30, 1918. Dear Mother:— v

I will write you a few lines thie P. M. and tell you about myself. I am on Long Island as you know, and believe me I am enjoying myself. And eat, weH Urfcle Sam can sure put up some eats. . I am getting fat I know, and I am sure you won’t know me when I came back, which won’t be long. I have a complete new wardrobe, even towels and socks. I don’t need one thing in the clothing line or anything else. All I want is mall. We get more pay some of these days. Then I will have to find a sock. u < The worst thing that bothers me is the darned sand and dust, but the sand is mostly gravel. There is gravel all over the island one foot under the ground. You, should be here and see the motor birds; they gave me a stiff neck at first, but not now any more. There is a large aviation camp within-a few blocks, Is the reason for them being so thick. There is~)one fellow over in another part of the camp that I knew in Hammond. I sure was glad and surprised to see him. There are about 90,000 of us here, so it isn’t lonesome.

I am going to New York this week some time. We don’t have tc do very much here only work. We are only a short distance from New York City. The trip here was sure a great trip for me. Buffalo is a real swell town, but not near as nice as it is cracked up to be. We saw all the "small” buildings in New York City, also the Statue. It isn’t near as nice as it looks in a picture. I saw my first real boat too. The sights are sure great around here. I go over to Hempstead New York, a short distance from here, once in a while. Soldiers and souvenirs are the only things one can see there. It is about like a carnival all the time. We drill and take hikes every day and make roads and everything there is to be done, but we wash our own dishes every day three times; they are so easy so I should worry. The New York papers don’t seem to think the war will last very long. I hope so, anyway. There are three Y. M. C. A.’s here in camp, so I can get all the tobacco I want, also anything else that I might need. It cost me sl.lO to get my hair cut and cleaned; cheap, isn’t it? They stick us here for everything unless we get it in the "can,” or Post Exchange, properly speaking. I am going to be a truck driver or mechanic, I don’t know which. I got good grades in school. A/m a journeyman. That is next to the best, or about so. It isn’t; at all hot here today so I think I anti in a real nice place to take a summer vacation. The whole thing is like one to me. Be sure and write soon. Love to alii GEORGE. Co. D, 90th Div., 315th Ammunition Train, Camp Mills, N. Y.
