SOLDIER WANTS BEE
SENT "OYER THERE"
J, 0.' Garrett, With U. S. Forces
in Trance, Writes Friend
for Copies of Favorite
Ptfper.
t
Charlci Van Deusen, a city detec
tive, has received a letter from a
x friend, J. 0. Garrett, with Battery
V, Sjxth field artillery, "Somewhere
in France," with the American expe
ditionary force.
Mr. Garrett, one of Omaha's "boy"
at the front, ask for copies of The
Bee, that he may read of the home
folks betwecntimei. He also wants
a plug: of' chewing tobacco to relieve
the strain which occurs at times dur
ing the day's work.
The letter follows:
"Thought 1 would drop you a few
lines to let you know that I took
your advice and enlisted. I finally
got here. I must make my letter
very vague, as we must be careful of
what we write, but will say, Charles,
th. t Uncle Sam is a wonderful man
to work and soldie.' for. We are well
fed and taken care of in fine shape
and. as compared with our beloved
land, I don't think much of what 1
have seeu so far of these foreign
countries.
"I enlisted as a private and was
promoted to mechanic. 1 like it fine
and we are a happy bunch, and God
help the sucker that undertakes to
turnkey with Old Glory, for we are
taking that flag and intend to keep It
tip at all costs regardless of anything.
Charles, I'd like to write you regard
ing some of my experiences, but I
will have to wait until 1 get home,
"Do me a favor and send me some
more clippings from The Omaha Be,
as we don't get much news from over
there, and The Bee is my favorite Pa
per. I'm just liomesick to see that
old headline again. Liberty bonds go
like hotcakes in this outfit, I'm tak
ing nearly all of my wages up in them
and wish I had a million more for
Uncle. I haven't had a sick day since
I have been in the service and I can
eat a raw dog and chase the pups. I
do miss the buzzing of the old laun
dry machinery, Well, write taon and
don't forget the clippings from The
Bee.' And say, if you can mail me a
10-cent cut i chewing tobacco, it. is
worth its weight in gold here.

The Khaki club was first suggested

The army men declared that this

to the soldiers, giving them a place
