CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FR IDAY , MAY 30,1919 Tells About CampBrest Letter from Harry F. Bird relates some o f his Experiences mt the ' Big Debarkation Port. The following letter was received ~ hy Mr, Robert Bird front his son, Harry, who is stationed at the big Base Hospital a t Brest, France, wherjc the wounded American soldiers are re eeived before being sent borne, It is the American Arpiy camp at Brest concerning the sanitary condi­ tions of which so much criticism was written in the newspapers *, few months ago,- Harry is assigned to duty in the laboratory connected with the Base hospital, v ’ ' Dear Father and Mother:* . For some reason or other the mail has been held up during the past ten days. There seems to havobeen veiy , little mail o f any kind come in: I re­ ceived a letter from Mother dated March 17th and addressed to Fori Bouguen, It w a s forwarded to me. I have received two packages o f ~pa- pera from Father.. The last ones were 1 dated fromMarch 27 or 28 up to Apr. "7th. Thpse are the dates as I remem­ ber them; the papers are over at the , house so 1 Cannot look up the dates just now. , . Today has surely been'a beautiful day. It makes one feel so good. I •am in the best of health and ’feeling like a new feathered “bird” in the springtime. I am surely getting" hun­ gry for some real good cooking. -So ,liavy.the old or young rooster fatten* ed and lots of fruit preserves and ’ cake-jgjid Such ready for me. We are still hearing all kinds of tales ar to When'we will be sent home. The latest is that we will . be sent home probably sometime in August. The ' camp here is supposed to be closed by June 15th; but it only takes five mip- ■ntes to change that order. You. have written once or twice a- houfc the camp here. I am'not Ideated ip the camp’^at all. The Laboratory is located down town, and our house or the Base Laboratory Annex is loT cated about seven minutes walk from the Laboratory. Brest is rather a dirty- City, but 1 have Veen worse, much-worse.* The streets are- nearly all paved , so that _ there is hot much mud around. To ■^S^flfc up f -might say that BreVt -isV typical French city.' I was talking to 1. some fellows this evening from the , . 33rd division, They are just back froni Germany on their way home, 1They say that Brest is an awful hole, and that they would rather do six l months duty in Coblenz, Germany or almost any otter German city than ■ one month here. , . Where the real complaint was cen* tered was about the various camps, mainly Pontanezen. I Was located out .there in January and that was when I took sick. I had & severe cold . when I arrived there, and the condi- tions being such, as they were probab­ ly. furthered my sickness, but at that time the camp wasdn pretty bad con­ dition. Now the camp looks like-a little city and is as clean as can*be. Of course when itraina fo r three of ; four days-steady why naturally the roads become very muddy and had, hut now they have nice board walks'all over the camp. It seems to me that it is in as good condition as any camp could be in this climate and country. But that is n o tify in g what it was be fore Christmas. The Great Northern steamship came In the other day on a record trip and was ip dock- for only seven hours. It was scheduled to he in dock here only four hours, but was delayed They expect to make the trip back in about four* and one half days. Some travelling! According to the reports in the pa- < per* there was about a* much excite* meat in New York on May 1st as there was here. On account of the Socialists all American soldiers were restricted to their quarters on that ' day; that is. they were allowed no lil£ erty on the streets. We were also te Stricted the day before and the day afterward, t suppose because they thought the excitement might begin f early and last over. I do not know what went on down town other than the gates of the city were closed that day and all o f the stores closed, All I saw Was a short parade and 'some meii making a lot of noise. The. big theatre burned down the next day think perhaps t sent you a post card picture o f this theatre, They do not have very much of a fire-fighting ap­ paratus here. . Cedarville could put it all-over them with their^ old hand engine, for all they have is a .hose cart and a few ladders. The .hose is . about half the size j?f ours. The city ha* water Works but the pressure it * not very strong. I attended the second banquet o f the Masonic Club o f Brest last Sat today night. There is to be another . one this Saturday night but 1 am go ing to lay off this one, for once a week is too many for me. They do not cost very much but just enough that » 1 want to save the $1.25 until my leave conies thru* We have to have such things to keep up the spirit Of the boy* and keep us from getting home sick. This Masonic Club ha* made conditions much mor* pleasant for me than they would have been without it. At the banquet last Saturday ijight I had the pleasure of helping repre' sent the State of Ohio. This state was the most represented and New York was second in line. There were 89 out o f the 48 states represented there. We thought that pretty good and probably as widely represented a ban­ quet as one would evejr get to'attend. The club has rented rooms for its headquarters ‘ and . lounging rooms, and’ cigars and cigarettes are always on hand as well as comfortable ufp holstfred chairs, We have a meeting every Sunday afternoon at which time we have some of the'good speak­ er* who may chance to be going thru Brest, and at times expect to have entertainments. * Whatever business may come up is transacted at this meeting. I have boeh able to meet 3ome mighty'fine men Ihru this club. One pf the boys from the house went to Paris the week efter I wag there. He PUt up at a hotel and dur­ ing the night was robbed. When In awoke' the next morning he was both penniless and pantless. , A rather sat predicament, eh? When going to pet he had placed his trousers under his pillow and the robber came thru and took his pants and all including 500 francs. His trousers were afterwards found n the bath room where the fel­ low had taken ' them to ransack the pockets. The Y. M. C. A, loaned the boy money to continue his journey. Must close now with love to all from your son Harry F. Bird. WHAT THE FILES SAY.

Harvey Myers, Marshal, The project to turn Antioch College over to the Y. M.C .' A. for a national .school backed by that' organization has failed to materif ike and the new president, Dr, Grant Perkins, has re-: signed after a short itiiy in Yellow. Springs. ' -It is said that the |dan*was nothing more than a protaoribn of certain in­ terests and the trusses were lead to believe that the,riatnmal organization was behind it. Dr. Perkihs says that no effort ha* been made to raise the. 41.900,000 endowment' promised and that there is none in prospect and for that reason cannot afford to give any- e institution.' that Were de- more-df his time to’j; *• The moneyed me pended ;upon to su1,. this fund could not? W. Weaver o f the Cleveland Y. M. C, A. placed the proposition .before the trustee* and a number of, the' board resigned to give their seats to the new management. At. first Yellow Springs people were inclined to place considerable faith in the building up of the school, by the Y. M. C. A, but as the days passed maiiy were convinced that it was a promotion scheme only. Raising a million dollars now by ‘the Y. M, C. A. wou{d be quite a task in view of the fact that the organization does not stand in public favor .as it did before the war, regardless of the good work accomplished in tbis eountry—in the years past. RAILROAD COMPANY RELIEVED Coroner R. L. Haines has rendered his verdict over the death oFWilliam Schauder, sr., Dayton soap manufac­ turer, who was'killed at the W. Mar­ ket street crossing on May* 11, in Xenia. The Coroner held that the railroad company was not to blame in as much as it had complied with the law as to signals. The crossing is on o f the worst in the country and at the present time there is no pro­ tection to traffic from the west who have no- view of the railroad until on the track owing to factory buildings on each Side of the street.
