MRS. UNDERWOOD’S SON
JIM, WRITES THEY ARE ALL
SMILING IN FRANCE
That little thing-* like war, bit
ties and h irdships do not bother
the Americin troops is attested
in a letter from James Morris,
1 lbth Supply train, in France
to his sister Mrs. W. Jacobs
7337 Eignth Ave. NAT. Seattle.
“We were stationed in the rear
of the lines for eight days, ” he
writes.'T did not have my clothes
off in that time and, believe me,
war is sure all of what Sherman
said it was. But no-one seems to
mind that. Everything is done
with a will and they all smile
while doing it. If you could
only see for yourself what Un
cle Sam is doing over here you
would know why we are going
to come out victorious.
“The Red Cross is wonderful
At this rest camp they have
shower baths and lunch counter
Everything is just as homey as
can be.”
(From a Seattle paper.)
