Plenty of Fun Along With Work Boys Get Good Food, Are Well Car ed For and Enjoy Good Health Robesonian a Welcome Visitor. To the Editor of The Robesonian: We are in the trenches, but not- being caught right at present on either a wiring or carrying party, my thoughts turn to home folks and J de cided to write and try to describe our life over here as I see it. We have plenty of fun along with our work. When behind the lines we play ball, have field davs and lots of other things for amusement, and at no time is life dull to us, and we like it much better than we expected. In part, life isn't at all bad. The Y. M. C. A. sees to it that we are sup plied witn plenty ot paper and en velopes and our government doesn't require us to buy stamps, so there isn't any reason for us not writing home. The "Y" also has huts close up behind the lines and all at any ai SuiqqXuB sn puas o; pB8j omrj want, and often come right up into the lines with candy, cakes, gum, ci garettes, tobacco, and paper and en velopes. They seem untiring in their efforts. We get very good food, too, in our ration issue meat, beef, cheese, spuds, onions, and loaf bread. We get wheat bread, too, having you all beat in that way, ours being all wheat; and we can purchase coffee, cakes, meat, eggs and milk from the civil ian population. And in strawberry season we had bigger and finer straw berries than I have ever seen at home. Besides all these the Red Cross comes along occasionally with a nice box of sm'okes. This week the Times Herald of Dallas, Texas tobacco fund sent our battalion a big box of smokes which we have been enjoying at all leisure minutes. The people back home seem to be all filled with the idea that ve must have everything we can possibly get, and they have succeeded so well that many boys will be loath to leave the service after we have driven "Jerry" back onto his own soil. Of course we are under f: re when in the line bat each of us and all the people back home expected that before coming over; but we also know that every shot isn't aimed at you; so we think that the majority of us will be going back borne some day. The health of the boys is better here than in the States. Rarely do we have a man go to the hospitaland we ljaven't yet had a serious case of sick ness. Among letters from home comes a big letter to all in the form of The Robesonian, and a good-sized scrap always follows as to who will read it first, no matter to whom it is ad dressed, and it is always read bv ev ery man from that part of the State. With good luck to The Robesonian and everybody at nome, I am, Very sincerely, BUGLER JENNINGS GERALD. Co. L, 119 Int., A. E. F. (Letter not dated). A Message to Home Girls.

You remem ber, perhaps, when we would meet to gether every Sunday morning around the church in Sunday school, when I could see your beautiful bright faces and sing those beautiful songs to gether, and now I often think of those good tinjes that we used to have to gether. Hope you girls are having a good Sunday school now and progress ing as you used to. Hoping to be back in my home Sunday school some time, by the help of God.

"Robeson is There and Will Do Her Share" Interesting Letter From El wood Whaley of Lum berton, Now in France. Mr. S. F. Caldwell of Lumberton received a few days ago the follow ing interesting letter from Mr. El wood Whaley, who is now in France: Dear Sir: You have been ,in toy thoughts many many times since I bade you farewell in your office on that hot Au gust afternoon just one year ago to day, and I intended to write you long ere this, but "just didn't get to it," is the only excuse I can give. You know how we, some of us at least, are prone to neglect the execution of ou rgood intentions. But something has said militarily speaking "snap out of it so here goes. Well, yes dog-gone well (I aont cuss you know) we have put another nice one over on Fritz and his barbar ous bunch, for the transport on which we sailed, along with several others, steamed safely into a beautiful rock- bound harbor of France loaded brim ful of khaki-clad Kaiser-killers. As we steamed into port one of the Vic tor machines aboard was playing "A Perfect Day and as we drew nearer "Helle! Kaiser Bill", was put on. Then I walked up further on the far ward hurricane deck just aft of the big guns and discovered a native Frenchman, an enlisted man in (me of the squadrons aboard, standing in the nrdst of a throno- of soldiers singing The Marseillaise, and other allied national songs. Thus we entered France to lend a hand m stopping the biggest attempts to work wholesale evil a barbarous people ever conceiv-f jjj eo. We are not nt;ar enough to the front yet to hear the big guns, but hadn't been off the boat long before we saw some Germans. They were prisoners of war, and it is quite sat isfying to see them, tor once, en gaged in a good work. We were told that captains and lieutenants were in the bunch but they all looked alike to me. A dirty, mean-looking lot I'll tell you. I was not the only Robesonian aboard Lieut. Claud Poole of St. Pauls and one of Pink Campbell's boys sailed on the same transport. So you see old Robeson was pretty well represented aboard bur craft, but that's not surprising, for she always has been well represented and always will be when anything really big is to be done. You remember the famous telegram, "Hold Robeson and save the State," and hold she did. Now it's "Hold France and save the world" a bigger job and across hazardous seas, but Robeson was among the first to respond and still they come; and will continue to come; you will gladly come (I know you) even though in your case it will be a great sacrifice. Yes, I'll tell you, Sim, when this autocratic, Hohenzollern, barbarous bunch of murderers baby killers which have so seriously threatened the peace and liberty of the world, are burried so deep that the seed of the:: k:,rd shall never sprout again, it can be 'said that "Robeson was there and done bpr share." We are quartered in a very inter esting, historic old fortified camp. They say that Napoleon once had headquarters here, and judging from the aged appearance of the old stone barracks and other buildings here abouts, I don't doubt it one bit. This you and yours, I am your old pal of the peace ful days Elwood. ELWOOD L. WHALEY. 281st Aero. Squadron. American E. F. in France. August 29, 1918. Mr. W. A. Rice, of R. 4 from Lum berton arrived home Friday from Camp Wadsworth. He was given a 60 days agricultural furlough. Oth ers from this district who went to camp with Mr. Rice are already in France. He was sick in a hospital when they left for overseas. Robeson Boys in Fine Shape. In a letter ordering the address of his Robesonian changed to France, Mr. Fulton O. Floyd, formerly of Fairmont, adds, "All the Robeson boys are in fine shape and we are 'somewhere' in France." Mr Floyd went over with the eighty-first divi sion, to which several hundred Robe son soldiers are attached. Mr. A. V. G. Wishart of the U. S. army stationed at Camp Sevie,r, S.
