OIL TROUGH BOYS
WRITE FROM CAMP
: (Continued from page one)
pretty soon as they have only
about a a dozen rookies in the
hospital now.
Our two hours of drilling is
sometimes sptnt in hiking over
the city. One time we went
over to the great Mississippi
and watched the big ships
pass. The Mississippi is some
river here. Large ships from
the Gulf come up this far.
The city of New Orleans is
one of the most beautiful cities
1 in the South. One peculiar
thing about it is the streets.
The people here surely believ
ed in having plenty of space to
get around in when they made
the streets. They are about
120 feet wide with a concrete
run way on either side for the
many different vehicles. The
middle of the street is raised
about six inches and covered
with green grass and shade
trees. The street cars run
i down the middle of the street
among the shade of the beau
t iful palm trees.
Somehow we are impressed
by these beautiful streets and
think we will rearrange the
streets of Oil Trough when we
whip the Kaiser and get back
home.
\\ e are well pleased with ev
erything here except the hot,
moist climate. It will probably
take all the three months we
are here to get acclimated.
Usually have a fog in the
! early morning, and this togeth
i er with the dew makes the
roots drip as if we were having
a shower.
W e will be here about three
months. rI hen, either to some
other University for further
training or over there. Hope
we get the <‘over there.” Don’t
think there is a man here but
what is anxious to 'cross the
pond and get a whack at the
Kaiser. If this escapes the
waste basket we will write
again sometime.
Yours truly,
C. S. HANKINS,
J. H. HILL,
WM. ARNOLD.
