ROSS RILEY Camp Funston, June 6, '18 Mr. L. M. Parker, Oberlin, Kansas. Dear Friend: As this is Saturday afternoon and we have a rest, I will write you a little about camp life.

We arrived here Tuesday evening, and Wednesday morning we went thru the "Mill'' or examination build-ng. My light weight which kept me out of the navy, did not hinder in the least here. In fact their examination is not nearly so strict. We were given our uniforms and other equipment, and our civilian clothes and suit cases sent home. We were vaccinated twice on the arm and once on the back, and they say that the end is not yet.

Each man has an aluminum cup, mess plate, knife, fork, and spoon. We keep these in our barrack bag. We have to wash them ourselves. We line our food as we pass, and we line up our food as we pass, and welivne up again at tables to eat. The food is not what we would call fancy, but I suppose it' is the kind that makes muscle.

Whether it is clean-or not we do not know, and don't seem to care. Sufficient it is to say we ea4 it. Personally, I prefer mother's cooking, but one cannot be fastidious in time of war. Most of us Oberlin boys are together. We have had considerable drilling already.

We all wish to thank the Red Cross for the comfort kits they gave us. The one best place here is the Y. M. C. It is an institution that deserves the support of everyone.

During spare time a soldier can read good books, write letters, see motion pictures and pass the time pleasantly and to good advantage. They have nhonographs and pianos for the boys to use. and girls a call to all.

KERR WRITES April 15th, 1918, Dear Captain and Mrs. Allen: This is to let you know that I arrived safely in France and have had some very wonderful experiences to tell you when I return I will, if God is good to me. I heard that you had been quite sick.

I hope you are both in the best of health now and enjoying all the good things of life. Iam in the 18th, Infantry, one of the first regiments to arrive in Frarice and one that has had as much or more actual fighting experience in the front lines, than any other regiment over here. On arrival in France I was was sent to an Officer's Tactical Training School forfour weeks and then assigned to my regiment. They must have thought me alright to send me to one of the old Regular Army Regiments. I have been over a large part of France.

On a recent long move, we went through Paris and are now in reserve behind a very important sector ready to take part in the great movement now going on. As I write the roar of Artillery is to be heard continuously, although all around here, it is peaceful and beautiful, for sprng is here in all her glory of flowers, green grass and fruittrees in bloom, but along with it is rain and mud which is the bug bear of the soldier's life.
