My dear Perkins: The man who invented the phrase "Somewhere in France" certainly deserves a gold medal, for it saves us a lot of trouble trying to give the names of places which we can neither spell nor pro nounce. It also saves our friends from the tedium of searching the Maps tor our location. Somewhere in France" usually means a small country village where the men are billetted in barns, hayF.tacks, chicken coops, pig stys and the overflow stowed away in pup tents around, .the adjoining hedges. The of ficers usually fare pretty well, secur ing rooms at the tarm houses, , and in some rare instances they are so for tunate as to get in a pig, fine Chateau This was the case with us not long ago when we were billetted with a genuine French count who had a love ly Chateau, billiard parlors ,library, smoking rooms, a gun room, music room, a fine cellar of 'excellent .wines, and the Countess was most charming. ims was too gooa to last long, howev LINCOLN COUNTY REGISTRANTS Most Americans at first think o: France as Paris, just as the Euro pt-uns ininK oi tne united Btates a.s New York, so many of our men were disappointed at first to find themsel ves off in the dead country instead of ine city Deautitui, tun or gayety and many temptations. In this connection I wish to say that the people with whom we have come in contact so far are very much like our own country people back home, good, honest hard working people, who are doing their un in trying to raise all tne crops pos sible to help feed their Nation and the Army. You do not see anv but very old men or very young boys, and the women ali continually at work in the fields from daylight until nine and ten o'clock at night, (it does not get dark here in Summer until about ten o'clock), and after their work in the fields is finished they busy them selves about their household duties I hava never seen such workers in my life tcfore. ' These people are very religious and very devout, practicallw all are Catholic. They represent the Peasant class, and live in the small towns or villages, going to their farms each morning and returning at night They do not live on the farms as our pecple do, but bunch up in villages, sr you have tnanv villages verv close to gether, and each village has its school church, mayor, town government, etc. Every inch of soil is cultivated r and thi3 year the crops are simply v fine-. Fine .....wheat, ; rye, oats, sugar beets turnips ,cabbage. flax, "hops, tobacco, all kinds of vegetables, but have seen no corn at all. The horses are im mense, big Normans and Percherons. They look like elephants. You never see a mule except the old army mule. This country we are in is about four hundred years behind the times All methods are very primitive. When is cut by hand, a man with a little short scythe, and the children follow behind and pick up every straw. The wheat is threshed by a machine which Names of Lincoln County Registrants Who Have Placed Their Names On the Roll in Service of their Country.

Lvery conceivable tvpe of mili tary traffic, from heavy "Caterpillars" drawing big Naval guns, motor trucks, Staff cars, to the light .two wheeled mess cart. The traffic policeman stands at each cross roads, directing all this, keeping everything moving, frequently he has a double stream of traffc going both ways on two roads at once. Gaps are left between every twelve vehicles so that the two streams can cross each other and neither be halted for any length of time. And while all this is going on the Boche is sending over his big shells to interrupt and disor ganize the traffic, He is particularly 'fond of shelling these cross roads. When this gets too hot the traffic has to be diverted over some side road, ! or special track hurriedly prepared i for just such an emergency. The traffic man has no soft snap. It takes a clear head, quick eye, and very steady nerves. , Then there are other posts well up to the front where the stragglers are collected and sent back to their units. j Some men- are honestly confused and lose tneir way, others get shell-shocked and do not know what they are do inr or where they are going, and still others are simply "fed up" and want to get out of it. Our iob is to look af ter all this. , In addition, signs havi? to be made and posted ,showing the routes, new roads opened up, and damaged roads repaired. Prisoners of war also come to us for safe keep ing. It is all exceedingly interesting and very, very much like work.
