From this is- land to the farthest of the group | northwest is about 400 miles. The next island in size is named Oahu and is something like one hnn- dred miles in cireumference or 35 miles |across—being a little longer than it is wide. On this island is the city of Honolulu, a beautiful and modern city of about 60,000 people—about evenly divided between the native Kanakas, American, Japanese and Chinese. Honolulu is by far the largest and ;most important city in the entire group and has one of the finest har- bors and naval bases in the world. The islands also enjoy the finest and most equable climate in the world, there being no cold or extremely hot weather. The average temperature is something like 78 degrees all the year around—making surf bathing, fishing, etc., most delightful sport and amusement every day in the year. This is why thousands of rich people from America and Europe spend the, winter months here. Schofield Barracks is also on this island of Oahu, 17 miles distant from Honolulu and which is connected by rail as well as water. This, as most people perhaps know, is by far the cleanest, most sanitary and best- equipped army camp in the world and covers 6000 acres of ground. Percy C.

The vigorous outdoor excercise in marching and drill work about five hours each day keeps the boys in per- fect health, hard as steel and all of them athletes. It also gives them an appetite like a sawmill, and the way they tear into the grub is amazing. But there is plenty of it and the best that money can buy.

Much time is devoted to heavy artillery practice, and judging from the splendid scores made, all of the boys will be gunners of the first rank. Our target for cannon practice is a high mountain cliff five miles away, and we generally manage to hit the “bulls-eye” about 9 times out of ten shots. The boys play all kinds of games, and we have some crack ball teams that could knock the famous ‘Boston Red Sox” into a cocked hat. They always shove me into my old job, of pitching—at which the boys think I have ‘em all skinned. A portion of our training consists of occasional 10-day “hikes” with full field equipment, and if that kind of play does not harden the muscles noth- jing on earth can. Part of my duty ‘in ambulance training is to run the big ambulance autos. Last week a string of these cars nearly a mile long J jand all loaded with soldiers motored .clear around the island—100 miles— where as far as theeyecansee.

But I have found it just the reverse here. I never saw a more courteous and oblig- ing lot of men than our officers are —and this is the opinion of all of the boys. Our officers are princes among good fellows—just the kind of leaders that will win this war and the kind the boys will follow to victory, re- gardless of danger. We are all hoping this dreadful war will be over soon and that it will not be necessary for us to go to France. But if the order is to go, we will go in to win—a way that Uncle Samuel has always had and no doubt always will have. Uncle Sam has away about him of always “bringing home the bacon.” The next time I go to Honolulu I will look up Cecil Phillips of Cotton- wood, who is employed in the electric plant in that city. By the way, the other day I ran across Jim Butts, a former Idaho boy who is in training here, and he “broke out” with a violent attack of poetry. Before he was finally overpowered and givena cathartic to cleanse his system of poetry he managed to write this, and asked me to send it to you to publish in the Chronicle—since he is known to some of your readers.
