James H. Lyman, formerly of the
bureau of fisheries, who spent consid
erable time here up until the time of
his enlistment. Is at the air service
training school at Kelly Held, South
San Antonio, Texas, and writes as fol
lows to the Northland Club:
"My work has been versatile In
deed. Acting in the capacities of
guard, kitchen policeman, general
fatigue man, drill sergeant, top ser
geant, sereant major and correspon
dence clerk, with rating of sergeant,
my duties have led to the picking up
of a fair knowledge, of army life My
one objective throughout tills period
has been to secure aeronautical train
ing. That this was a ‘dead end' de
veloped while I was in Washington,
I). C„ several weeks ago on official
business. To secure this training it
was necessary to obtain a waiver In
the case of an eye which was slightly
below the standard of 20-20. My case
was taken before the highest medical
officers hut failed to go through. The
disappointment was keen at this fail
ure of my plans, hut I have since rec
onciled myself with the thought that
we can't all become flyers, ami that
there is always an alternative for one
I ambitious of serving his country.
"My alternative lies In the infantry,
following a successful application for
an officers' training camp. I have re
cently been Informed that I would he
sent to such a camp within the next
few weeks to take up a lour months'
course of intensive training follow
ing this I hope to he sent directly
across the big pond.
"My ambition directs that I he in
the drive to Berlin. When the Ger
man hordes have been made to feel
the llesh rendlng talons of the Ameri
can eagle and have come to Ihe force
ful conclusion that barbarism, despot
ism and heathenism have no place in
the scheme of modem times as dic
tated by nations of democratic prin
ciple, I hope to return to Alaska hear
ing a gun whose stock is so grooved
with notches that a micrometer would
have to lie employed to determine the!
intervening spaces not notched. Seek
ing an adequate comparison. I might
say tleat I hope to have more Huns to
my credit than l)r Council has hears.
“In conclusion, I wish to extend my
very best wishes to all worthy broth
ers of the club. Very sincerely,
"JAMES L LYMAN"

PERHAPS THIS IS IT
TOUR LETTER WAS DELATED
PARIS, Aug. 2ti (by mail).—Every
day tens of thousands of letters "from
home" to the American soldiers in
France are delayed or sent astray
through lack of sufficient or correct
addresses, in a large percentage of
the cases (lie mail is finally delivered,
but after days and weeks of delay.
During the month of June 21 per
cent of mail arriving in France for
(lie army was either insufficiently or
incorrectly addressed More than
7(10.0(10 letters and thousands of sacks
of paper mail were delayed in this
way.
Instead of being rushed directly to
their destination, these letters hud to
be forwarded to the central postoffice
in the interior of France, where clerks
went through directories of the expe
ditionary forces in an effort to ferret
out the correct address. This task is
doubly difficult because of the dupli
cation of names in the army For in
stance. there are 157 John Smiths, 105
Henry Browns, 94 James Wilsons. 52
Jacksons, and so on, according to sta
tistics compiled by the postoffiee de
partment. Eighty per cent of the
flsaddressed June mail was merely ad
dressed "Somewhere in France," or
"A. E. F.”
The postoffice department advises
persons writing to soldiers in France
to include in the address the regi
ment and company number and, if
possible, the A. P. O. (army post
office) number. The following form
ol address should be used to insure
quickest delivery:
Pvt. John Smith
Co. A, 95th Regiment Infantry
American Expeditionary Forces
A. P. O. No. (when known).
Otherwise the mail Is subject to in
definite delay, while the mall clerks
are hunting for the correct address.
