W Lotters From the Front, On Board Ship There has come to the Pioneer sev- eral letters written from military camps, ‘some to parents and some to others. Some are written so they can be read and some have to be de- ciphered by puzzle experts. Some are written on both sides of the pa- per and various other ways, and it being that all have to be rewritten what is considered news cribbed out is to some extent the cause of delay in anticipated attention. Another reason is lack of space and facili- ties for handling them together with the mass of work taxed upon the linotype. The Pioneer will endeavor herewith to present some of the let- ters, giving the gist: On~ From Leibsle, The following extracts from a let- ter received from Roy Leibsle by F. B. Lamson: “I have enlisted in the 313th regi- ment of engineers, stationed at Camp Dodge. I have been in the service four weeks. We have a dandy bunch of fellows in our company. I have 8 chance to see Jack Herbert every ‘once in awhile but have not seen any of the other Bemidjl boys. While we have lots of hard labor and drill yet we find some time for recrea- tion. The ‘Y’ in our regiment is just across the street from our bar- racks and we boys make good use of it. It 1s a haven for us. A good atmosphere is present there, good reading matter, music, pictures and an open grate fire which lends cheer. *“In the last week we have lost most of the men in the regiment, only mere skeletons of each company are left which will be filled with the next bunch. The men coming may feel that they will always be buck privates but there is always a chance for advancement for the man who 18 up on his toes, alive and willing to work. He has the same chance that & man in the first bunch had. “I am proud of Bemidji and the way she is answering the call. I am sure there is no other community doing the work that she is and it does my heart good. The boys who left in the last bunch deserve a great deal of credit. _*T spend many pleasant moments retrospecting upon my short resi- dence in Bemidji and the incidents connected with it. I realize that I denfed myself the pleasure of many things which were just commencing, namely: the work with Rev. War- ford, the activities with the boys at school and the Commercial club’ work but these must be left to you fellows and I am best located where I am.” “The Bunch” Anvbreciative. ‘When the “Bemidji bunch’” went to Jefferson barracks in November, the fellows wrote back to Officer Foucault that they arrived safe and sound and expressed their apprecia- tion of the send off given them. The card said it hoped another bunch would soon arrive from Bemidji. It was signed “The Bunch.” Thanks for Cigars, Another letter received by Martin Dunn was from Dannenberg, Grat- ton, Klein and Whitman who stated they slept in rotation in the order named. It was written the day of their arrival and they were amazed at the horde of sturdy young men at Camp Dodge. They thanked him for a box of cigars. Letter From l:"nll\ e. Ed Ripple received a gtter from France written by Frederick N. Goodspeed. He was with headquar- ters company of the Sixteenth infan- try. He said it seemed as if it was a dream with him over in France and Ripple in America. It was only six months ago before the letter was written that Goodspeed was firing a steam shovel in Minnesota and he wonders if he will ever get back to Minnesota again. He says the drill- ing has been hard.” He also says he is glad he enlisted when he did for he ‘got into the crack regiment of the United States regulars. “It isn’t all pie and cake over here,” adds the writer. ‘“We see some dark times but the sun always comes.” He bought a $50 Liberty Bond and had $65 with the paymaster at the time: the letter was written. He said when he heard ‘the big guns and In Camps roar and the shells explode it made him think of blasting in the mine. After the close of the war he says he will be on reserve five or six years but will be glad to answer any time called. Simons. Writes Pal. John Hedeen received a letter from Edwin Simons on board the U. S. S. Kansas in which he says he and the Bemidji boys are having an “awful time” putting Bemidji on the map but they all know about it. He said that if there are lumber scenes shown at the movies aboard ship some one bawls out ‘fthere’s Be- jimminey.” “We're only volun- teers.” But, says Simons, 50 per cent of the Bemidji- boys have been rated, while but few of the regul- ars have been. He also tells of the winning of the whaleboat race by the boat of the Kansas in which-four of the oars were from Bemidji, as already noted. After the race and the Bemidji boys had made such a good showing they kidded the reg- ulars by saying, ‘‘we’re only volun- teers.”” He also tells of - football with the Bemidji football btars shining. He also said that “Babe” Kaiser is on the New Hampshire and that the Bemidji boys see him often. He is the son of Al Kaiser, the Bag- ley banker. ' in_Geib. In a ?et{.tglr cf%g?g' %zgtain Geib, Camp’ Dodge, he tells the Pioneer that he is getting along fine, after breaking his leg in a motorcycle ac- cident. He says Roy Leibsle is in camp and that had he (Geib) not been injured, he would have cap- tained the company Leibsle has been assigned to. He calls attention to the situation such as would have been with his business partner un- der him in a company. He expects to be sent to France as soon as he is able to navigate on the injured leg. He expects to go home ‘for a twenty- day furlough Christmas time and ex- pects to run up to Bemidji and see his friends. He was happy to know that Bob Feir enlisted, and says there are some he knows in Bemidji who should also enlist. He spoke of the work of the Y. M. C. A. and said that Y’ workers make the tour of the hospital daily and furnish letter paper, stamps, etc., and help write letters when necessary. Cap- tain Geib says it makes him mad to think of the time he has lost in the hospital as he is anxious to “go over.” From Camp McArthur. Lester J. Achenbach writes to his parents from Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas. He is a member of the 127th field hospital corps, 107th sanitary train. He says in part: “I have been in Texas since October 1, an(} really like this section of tlge coun- try.” He speaks of the difference in temperature compared with north- ern Minnesota. He says he gats and sleeps in dust and breathes it, as it hasn’t rained for five months. .The camp is made up of seven sec_tlons, three for infantry, one for artillery, one for aviation, one for quartermas- ter and one for medical unit, engi- neers and ammunition. The artil- lery range is 12 miles away. Each regiment takes turns at the trenches and there is considerable bayonet work. He voices his respect for a machine gun. The aviation brm_mh makes a hit with him, there being 24 planes available there at present. No accidents have been reported and only six soldiers have died in the camp and all from natural causes. Several were ill when tney first ar- rived, not being acclimated. He says he can stand the acrid taste of the water now. . i Each sanitary train is composed of four field hospitals, four ambul- ance companies and a base hospital. He likes his companions. The camp is under canvas, eight men in each tent, walled and floored. Stoves are of little use. He says the meals are good but not like at home. He is also getting to be quite an adept at washing clothes. In fact says bet- ter than his sister. He is chief bugler and gets out of foot drill. Military school work he finds inter- esting and says, as a whole, army tifo agrees with him, for he hasn’t INSTRUMENTS Phone 683-W 116 3rd St. MINA MYERS Hair dressing, face massage, scalp treatment.

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is quite different from the ordinary cough medicine, for it not only soothes but also heals, so that the effected parts are restored to a healthy condition and the danger of a future attack is removed.
