CORDOVA BOY
ON VISIT TO
SUNNY ITALY
Charles M. Rosswog is in receipt of
the following* letter from our former
townsman, Sergeant E. W. Chapman,
with the American expeditionary
force in France:
Alpine Leave Area, A. E. F.
March 14, 1919.
Dear Friend: Your very welcome
letter received today. So you thought
I was going to come back soon? Say!
I wish I could; but it looks as though
I am due to stay over here until about
next October.
Had a letter from Tom Strimper
the other day and he says he may be
home by July or August.
So the war has put a finish to so
much work in the mines and on the
railroad. Well, I knew it would. What
do you and the other business men
think about it? Do you think things
will be better soon?
How are Oscar and the fellows get
ting along? Is Joe Miller back there
yet? I wrote him a letter while he
was in Seattle but never got an an
swer. Do you ever hear of Johnnie
Jones? How are the Bloomensteins
getting along? If they are there yet
give them my regards.
I have just got back from a four
teen-day leave in Italy. Saw Rome,
and there sure was some excitement.
There were five of us who w^nt, and
in the twelve days there we saw every
thing there was to see. The trip cost
close to 800 francs, but was worth it.
Do you know, I am not a bit sorry I
came over here, and I feel sorry for
the many who could have come and
stayed at home. They surely missed
something.
I had some fun here in February.
This is a sport country, and plenty of
winter sports.
Am inclosing a poem of railroad
men in France. Say hello to the
folks. As ever, E. W. C.
Over the Rails
Over the rails, over the rails,
Work that’s bard and in long details;
Pound along the Chemin de Fer,
Cold and rain can never defer,
In open cab and cupalo,
Watching for posts and bridges low;
Murderous couplers taking toll.
Hold your train unil gray turns youi
hair,
Awaiting orders from chefs de gare;
Doing the work that never fails,
Over the rails, over the rails.
Eating carrots and rutabegs
(Wait till you’re home for ham anc
eggs).
Seventy hours without relief,
Living on bread and bully beef;
Doing it all with easy grace
Of railroad men with smiling face.
Hauling the stuff from ports afar
Up to the front where your comradei
are;
Whipping the Huns with U. S. A.
Marked on the cars with right of way
Doing your bit till Germany fails—
Over the rails, over the rails.
These are the men you couldn’t scare
Gathered from railroads everywhere—
New York Central and Southern P.,
Pennsylvania, D. R. G.,
Union Pacific, Santa Fe,
Great Northern and Mo. P.;
Even Alaska sent her share
Of railroad men from everywhere.
All one system they’ve come to be
For Uncle Sam’s democracy.
The railway corps that never fails—
Over the rails, over the rails.

HOW RECRUITS |
FOR D ARMY
ARE OBTAINED
<
LONDON, March 22 (correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—An
instance of the deception the--Bolshe
vik government is forced to practice
in order to secure reinforcements for ,
its army is contained in information
just received in London.
A proclamation was issued at Pet
rograd ordering a trial mobilization
of the “First Town Section” for two
days to test its state of preparedness. ,
It was stated that the men of the
reserve would be permitted to return
to their work after two days. When
the reservists assembled they were
told that as Petrograd was unsuitable
for manoeuver purposes they would
be taken a short distance out of town.
Unsuspectingly the men climbed into
the box pars, whose doors were then
locked, and the men were sent as <
reinforcements to the western front.
There they remain, although the Bol
shevik officers naively complain that
these reinforcements have not been of
much fighting value.
Desertions from the Bolshevik <
ranks and disobedience of orders are
reported on the increase in North
Russia, also a lack of training among
officers and men and deficiency of
I arms and material. In the Ural dis
trict riots are reported to have oc
curred owing to the difference of pay
between troops at the front and those
remaining behind the lines.
Anti-Bolshevik sentiment is said to
be so pronounced among some of the
regiments garrisoning Petrograd that
the authorities are afraid to take *
’ action against disaffected units or to
send them to the front.
