Dear Southerner: , I have been

stationed at Fort Shrenbrietstien, the
best beloved of all the Kaiservs forts, j
it looks down on Cobleni where the
Rhine and Moselle meet, it and Gi

want to write you now about flying
from Brussels to London. , I'm on
leave just now, all the troops are out
in the fleld on a two weeks' maneu

on leave. We bad planned to leave
Brussels on Tuesday afternoon .but
n account of the low visibility (I
like to use that phrase, in such a fa
miliar way) "were told that the plane
would not make the trip till the next
morning; there was every indication
that the fog bank hanging over the
channel would lift during the night.

of the chairs. There was a second
