Private C. J. Taffé, Co. L, 355th| Infantry, writes the following inter-| esting letter to his friends ,of the Casper Pharmacy, where he was formerly -employed: France, 7-8-18. Casper Pharmacy. Dear Friends, the Boys:—While} there, I remember having heard a song, “Somewhere in France There’s a Lily.” Well, there’s a Taffe some- where in Frante also, and enjoying) life beautifully. After an uneventful trip across the puddle, we landed 3afely and were. quartered’ in England for some time, | where we did squads. right and right} shoulder arms and various other movements for some time. We also hiked over considerable country. | It is a beautiful country, and es-) pecially so at this time of year, as the trees and hedge ferns are all dolled up in green. There is plenty | of ale there, too; every few miles} along the roads’ they have ale houses where it can be bought for 14 cents a pint. Of course, we had to try a bit, and found it drinkable, but that’s about ’all. I guess they like it o. k,, so we wont start any movement to have its manufacture stopped. Practically all of the people that are left are doing war work of some kind, I saw several brick yards from the railroad, so if they ¢an get a few) Micks from the Emerald Isle in ‘the | service and give them full access to the bricks, I believe they can create) a little honor among Bill’s army. At the rate wé are’stepping around and the numbers in which the Yanks} are coming, I believe we will soon be ready to call on his nobs in Ber-| [ Yin. This army life is great. They sure | have the system for making a fighter out of a man. I'll bet they can take the biggest sissy in the country and| put him through the mill for three months, and turn him loose on a buzz) saw, and he’ll try it at once, It’s al great life if you don’t weaken, and they-keep you too busy for that, But| we've all weathered through ity and _I feel none the worse for the experi- ence; in- fact, I believe it was good | for me. As you know, a change is good for a person; well, we had it. | We have fine quarters and plénty of American food and tobacco, so we should’ worry. Nearly every soldier has a book on French, and we have somé great times trying to talk. We have interpreters with us all the time, | so we get along o. k. Practically all of the buildings afe | of rock and cement; some of them have stood a century, and are good for another one. Nothing is done slip-shod here. When they build any-| thing, it is built to stay. The rail-| roads cars and locomotives are about one-third the size of ours, but they) go like the bat you heard about. I! always heard this was a great wine country; now I know it. The French} people drink it like we do coffee. Fairly good wine can be bought near-/ ly any place for from 40c¢ to Tic a quart. Champagne can be had for $2 or $3 a quart. We had a great time Here July 4th. | Our battalion had the regimental} band nearly all day, and we had a} regular American Fourth. The | French populace seemed to enjoy it greatly to watch the stunts pulled| off. The main event started in the} morning, and the mayor made al speech, which was translated to us, | and the major responded. | After he finished, two little French | girls handed him seVeral large bou-} i (Letters From Over Th ere | American’ soldiers. near future.

It probably will take th:¢é times ag long (Lon-| ‘don waiters and’ waitresses considér it unseently haste to’ serve an order in less than three-quarters of an hour) but in. the end the food will; be the same and quite as plentiful. The only discrepancies noticeable | to’ an American is the absence of drinking water and sugar. Water dbesn’t seem to be used internally in England. It never appears on the table. Sugar may be served only with puddings and cocoa. The reason it) |Happens to be permitted’ with cocoa jis that whee the present restrictions were drawn up thefe was no cocoa in the country: Consequently, it was; not mentioned among the non-sugar- aple beverages. Now there is plenty. of coroa and the law does not forbid serving sugar with it, A few confirmed sugar eaters fill cut a sugar ration card and carry their rations for the week with them in a bag. The average Londoner seems to think this more bother than it’s worth, however. Meat may be had twice a day, or three times if ham is used for one A coupon is no longer re- quired for ham. Bread, potatoes, peas, “flat” (lima) and “French” (string) beans, and_other vegetables jare still as abundant as in the United States. Except that food i is more expensive the food situation in England is as good as in America.
