to write to their mother or gome one
lit home. Will plait his tonig.it as
I may not have much time tomorrow.
It is ufteinlno o'clock now and 1 1
lnt. ...-.mo Infiom woik. Have. l,,.on
out on the flying field all day looking
after the cameias, putting them on
the machines and getting everything
set so all the pilot has to do when he
goes up is to work the shutter. Piob
ably I will work in the dark room to
morrow. Would rather woik on the
field during the nice weather we are
having jtt$t now, but it may not last
long . We change ofT in the photo
work one fellow will work in the
dark loom qno'clay and the next day,
do something else perhaps go out in
the field. That way everyone getn
experience in all branches of the woik.
When I 'cume fit from , work to
night I found the tent I had been in,
also all our baggage, had disappeared,
but I looked around a while and found
that they had put up a new tent in
another place. I think wo have one
now that will keep tho rain out and
I won't wake up in the morning to find
a pool of water on top of the bunk.
Yes, I see that c can not have any
more packages pent from home with
out permission. I don't know of anv
thing that I want or could use just
now, so the order will not incon
venience me any.
I have enough stuff for a pack mule
now, and when we move wc have to
carry it a pait of tho time.
I have no idea when wc will leave
England, but I don't think it will be
for some time.
It is now Sunday noon and I will
add a few lines and close this letter.
I imagine you arc just about having
breakfast over in tho States, as t licit
is about six hours difference in the
time since the clocks wore turned
ahead. The weather is not no nice to
day, wo had two or three showers this
morning. I have been making en
largements of maps this morning and
will continue the same work this af
ternoon. I see by the papers that four
thousand more Amciican? marched
through Loudon ycsteiday.
E. D. Lacy
Schuyler Hayes Writes
Gieat Lake
Ohio.
Dear Folks at Home:
This lias been a long, hot day for
me. Got up at six o'clock, had "cl-.ow"
at even, and muster was held at
eight. Scvcial of the boys hail on
d'lty clothes, so the entire" company
was ordered to report at camp Paul
Jones for detail work. If just" one
has on dirty elothe3 the utile com
pawy'luis to do penalty for it.
A- luck would have it the command
er had leceived oiders to lfymt some
wluio and j-o we did not h:ie to go.
I va triad, indeed, for I expected
I'nilc iJi. it or Aunt Alice v.-Mdd bo in.
At nmo o'clock the Catl o'ics were
called ioi their leligious seivice. Tho
Knigh'..-. of Columbus lmo a large
tent nea"' the V. M. C. A., --ry nicely
filtd out for Iho amuroniiMit of the
boja vho go theio. Eveiyor.e is wel
come bnj rhrie aro not t-n many go
then- as to the Y. M. C. A. The latter
u surely a dandy place. Tho first
night wo were here tho commander
would not let us go down tlieie be
cause Miino of the boys had on dirty
clothes.
The next night nearly all of us
wont thoir to a concert given by
tin. e la'r niadcns of the cM of Wau
kcg.in. They gavo us a lino entcr
tu'iitiicnt, which we lill i,r'ycd im-
mi-n-oi. i nerc nie boo'., pupors,
and .cap-books for anwi . to load.
The latter weio contributi-d by 'the
people of Chicago and ai 1 :kd with
very intei-osting clipping-. There are
many gam'.i for pastime, free desks
for writing which one it welcome to
ue any time, and tho Y. M. C. A. men
are all princes.
The Protestant church -i niceiTworc
held -in tho Y, Jl. C. A. this morning
and about all of tie attendi ,. a btiBl
uobs man of Chicago Ra.e tho ad
dress. Tho pianist was a .Jackie, the
choir was composed of Jackics, and
the entire audionce were Jackics.
About thrco o'clock I loeeived mos
sngu from Uncle Bint rnving he w'as
afiaid they could not come to see mo.
I v. as sorry, for just about this time
o lmd received oideis to prepare for
a move Wo arc to start for Phila
delphia tomorrow. No liberties arc
allowed in this camp as wo may get
older. am minute to move on. So I
had to g'ivo up the hope of seeing the
folks.
A lot of tho boys aro arguing the
question, Which is the best, Ohio or
Nebraska? and of course I have to
butt in, so I am writing this part of
my letter under difficulties. Tho Ohio
boys seem to bo getting tho worst of
tho argument and some of them aro
nearly fightiiig'innd.
1 am perfectly satisfied with tho
Navy, and am happy. It is a dandy
place for a fellow who wants tonnko
good.
Will drop you a card as soon as wo
get to our destination, so don't worry
about your Sailor Boy, Schuyler.
