MONITOR CAUSES NEAR
RIOT IN CAMP
Camp Funston, Aug. 12, 1918.
Rev. Jno. AFoert Williams.
Dear Sir: You caused a small sized
riot this afternoon when The Monitor
: arrived. I gave a couple out and in
; a few minutes the tent was rushed
j by the Omaha bunch.
Just tell all the folks that we are
'"doing our stuff” as usual and keep
; ing Omaha first. Almost all of the
; boys are non-coms and among the ser
geants are Garnet Timony, who was
in the hospital when his company left
for France; Nathaniel Perry, James
Bell, Willie Wooley, Harrison Brown,
Roscoe Miller and Willie Bell, also
yours truly, Ray Parker.
We live entirely out of doors and
' a healthier bunch never walked on
two feet. Last night Hubert Glover
made a remark that was very true j
when he said, "Well we left Omaha ||
pink, high yellow and teasin’ brown,
but we’re all midnight browns now.”
All are tanned up and looking fit.
for O. S. S. (overseas service.) We ;
expect to be transferred to the main
camp in a week or so. In the mean- j
time anyone who has lost the ad- 1
dress can write to the boys in my i
care and I will see that they receive
their mail. Tell all the girls that it
„makes no difference whose sweetie
they were they are our sweet sweeties
now.” So they need not be afraid to
write and then some more and when
they get tired to write another while
they rest. Give our regards to 24th
street and tell them we’ll be back
before long. Yours truly,

My Dear Rev. Williams:
Enclosed please find my check for

scription to The Monitor. It is one

“Al REVOIR, NOT GOOD-BY"
To The Editor'of The Monitor:
Kindly publish the following poem j
dedicated to my brother, Ahraham W.
Parker, w ho left August 5, with his j
comrades to do his share in the world i
war for freedom.
You’re leaving us, dear brother,
For lands we know not where,
But there never will be another,
Your place in our hearts can share, j
You always have protected me,
Since we were kids knee high,
And still protection there must be,
Now’s the time to fight or die.
The love we’ve had for each other,
Is pure as the skies are blue.
We five and our dear mother,
To each other have always been
true.
You’ll make good if you get the
chance,
For there’s no yellow streak in you,
Try to be first and on the advance.
Under the Red, White and Blue.
This is your country, this is your flag,
So fight the good fight without fear,
You’ll do your share and never drag,
Au revoir, not good-by, Brother
dear.
