Additional Letters From England Hive Details Of The War Conditions

Miss Kathryn Davenport has received a letter from a nephew in England describing the routine o? his army life. He says in part: “After a month in Depot we have been transferred back to a battery. In Depot we did a hundred and one jobs a okhouse, coal delivery, furniture moving, guards, etc; but no« we are back in a battery. Survey training has started with a rush. W< have lectures from 8:30 on until 7 p. m. with an hour for dinner, hour for tea and throe-fourths an hour P. T. We have got to take our trade test within two months. “I started this at tea time, I will try and get it finished before wo parade at 7:30 as stretcher bearers we have just finished lectures. “I asked anyone else whether they wanted to read your papers at tea time and two other chaps wanted to read them and I discovered that one of them had been at Yale two years before the war started and he would have gone back if it hadn’t been for the war. He says he traveled quite a lot in the U. S. and liked it very much. He studied law. "Letters are reaching us better from home now. It took ten days for a parcel to reach me and Mother had put some pears in for me—they were in a terrible state. She generally sends me some chocolates an I biscuits once a week.” Another letter written to Miss Davenport from a different section of England says, “It is so quiet where I am we do not know there is a war on. There is no shortage and about all we hear of it is on the wireless.” Miss Telotha Neal received a letter written October 10th from Cornwall, England. Parts of it are quoted. “Fortunately I have been given my fortnight's holiday so I am spending it here at home. It is much quieter here than in London. People he o hardly know there is a war on. so I hope I shall get two weeks rest away from the Aerial Blitzkrieg. "I wonder if you received my last letter safely. If you replied immediately I expect your letter has been

lost for I read by todays paper that mails for the United Kingdom posted in the U. S. A. during the last week of August have been lost, presumably due to enemy action. Just before I left London we had bad weather for a few days and it considerably reduced enemy aerial activity. I shouldn’t like to fly back to Germany in the teeth of a fifty mile an hour gale. “I saw Rex Harrisftn in "Night Train From Munich” in London about a month ago. It was quite exciting. I think it is an English film, so perhaps you won’t see it in the States. Most of the cinemas close at 9 o’clock each evening nowadays on account of the Air Raids and the Black-out. I think we have adapted ourselves to war conditions very well. Nowadays when an air raid alarm is sounded nobody takes any notice. We just carry on with our business. In most of the big offices and works “Spotters” go up on to the roofs or other vantage points and scan the skies for enemy aircraft and if they sight any or if they hear gunfire in the vicinity they blow the whistle and the employees go into the shelters until the people on the roof repeat that imminent danger is over. Then work is resumj od. So you sea, we waste very little I time on account of the raids still, I expect you have read all about this in your daily papers.”

DEPAL'W CHAPEL The overture to “The Mastor.si.ngers of Nurcmburg” and “Natchez on the Hill” were played Tuesday by the DePauw University Symphony Orchestra in its first performance of the year. Under the direction of Herman C. Berg, assistant Professor in Music School, the orchestra presented the morning's chapel program. Wagner’s overture was played first and afforded an opportunity for the musicians to show their full strength. “Natchez on the Hill” by lohn Powell which followed the first majestic, classic selection was contrast that made the whole program effective in balance though somewhat short. The second selection, which combines three Virginia folk tunes in an intricate and lively pattern, was played with what might be called true American spirit or ‘pep.’ Professor Berg and his student musicians were very well received by the large chapel audience.

Q. at the expense of the teachers and six fathers in their fforts at matching wits. Judges were Professor Voltmer and Mrs. Charles Aker. The entire evening held the spirit of unity and freedom.
