The following letter was received

irea(i at their meeting last night.
"•apt. H. L. CogsweH was twice a
I resident o<" Skagway. The first
tiniv I" 1S99 when a little boy and
afterwards when t\ student in the
Washington University. During ti e
last pt-riod he was for t'ffie In 1911
! and 1912 editor of the Dal y Alaska
after having spent the season in
the Atlin Mining district as a min
'ing ognineer which, is his ihoseu
' profession. While in Skagway he
me" and afterwards married Miss
Gla'iy3 Kinnse, a daughter of the
late H. L>. Kirmse, who is now i.
New Ycrk awaiting his return from
overseas.
Jk0<rway Lodge, 431, 15. P. O. Elks,
Wear Sirs and Brothers,
Received your annual repoit this
a. m. and as I have been iuteuding
to droo you all a line for several
days, i will try to give you a few
pictures of life in fair Fiance.
We are at present enjoying our
sec^n'l battle. 1 say enjoying, be
cause our experience thus far
has been to lay around iu the
woods in reserve while tliQ other
boys were giving the Bocheg hell.
We wore in the back woods at the
ba.'"e of St. Mihiel and heaj-d the
cannons roar and the battle planes
rushing to tb.e front and the rain
rushing ''own on top of us. These
woods get awfully damn when it
£ourz for a week. The last fe*
days have been dry though and to
day we are basking in a wonderful
flood of sunshine. I aiu trying to
get a skinful because i know when
we eet rain again it will^be a long
one.
Have been in France about three
months and have seen most of north
ern France. Havu traveled a lo<
by «r<»'ii in motor lorries, horse
Pack, motor cycle and on foot, the
latter is the surest method of get
♦in* anywhere, if sure arrival and
time are of importance.
W hen not in the vicinity of the
Iron', we are billeted in the vil*
lags , f which there are thousand's.
Th< people here live in community
towiij and have their farnis out be
tween towns. Their houses are
lar?e stone affairs that contain liv
ing Quarters for the family, the
horses, cows, piss, chickens and
other farming utensils. On our ar*
riv^l they turn out the live stock
and the boys bed down in grand
style.
The officers »re given a Bleeping
room .'n one of the village pluto*
cra* hemes and some of them are
wonderfully furnished.
Mv last oillet was with the Mayor
of a little town. He told me that
Russian and Prussian officers had
occupied the same room with his
fraud father in 1S14. Also in
1871. No doubt my rost heaves a
sigh '<■> see his rooiji cluttered up
by boi ts and automatics, etc., but E<
wou'.ii rather have Yankees than
Bocheg.
I «m getting along pretty well
a French and 1 manage to take a
vercal boar hunt or grow a few
crops with mine host, ending up by
drinking his health with his own
champagne or Cognac brewed from
his v°ry own home grown prunes.
I was made a Captain of Engi
neers July 1st and uow have 250
husky Yanks tQ look after. They
are '"a .'ine iprm and roaring to go.
Expect that we will be rteht lIP in
the next big 'show.'
Wll close with best regards to
all the Brothers and Skagwayites.
Would enjoy a letter from any or
all o' you.
Fraternally jours,
