NOT WORRIED OVER GERMAN ACTIVITY (From Sergeant Leland S. Thompson, ex '18) S. S. U. 638, Convois Autos, B. C. M. France. Found out the other day that a bunch of real New York niggers are in a sector not far away from us. They are doing good work and seem to be having a fine time. One of them went over into the Boche lines five times during 10 days in the trenches. Pret- ty good record for anyone. They won't clean the mud off their helmets be- cause that shows they have been in the trenches! What did you think about the Som- me drive? I thought the Boches were bluffing, but they came through after all. We aren't worried over here, so tell the folks at home they haven't any right to be. I know one French division that dug holes and buried by actual count 800 Boches that they had relieved of their earthly burdens. They captured and mussed up a lot more besides with very small proportional losses for themselves in addition to that. Cold blooded way to talk to you, but that is the way I feel. Am enclosing a bit of money that may interest you. The one-franc note is in circulation around Nice. Ther have similar ones in various parts of the country. We steer clear from them because 10 miles away from the place they are issued they don't seem to be very much in demand.

Work Increases The work of the union and of the Michigan bureau increases every day; and the number of visitors is contin- ire to shake n myi mitt-I made my commission as en- I sign, U. S. N., after 10 months of hardI labor and many sinking spells when the honor seemed away out of reach. As far a I can find out it is a record for the station and the navy as a whole, to enlist as an apprentice sea- man, U. S. N., and in 10 months, with- out attending any school there nor having any outside assistance qualify- ing for commission in the regular navy -in competition with warrant and chief petty officers of six and twenty years service.! Made fifth on the exam and just missed by .13 of one point being sec- ond from line duties. I am detached from the station June 1, with ordersj to proceed to Brooklyn navy yard for. temporary duty there. I hope to draw a good berth and see the war zone soon. Will you' please see that this dope is scored up for meI in the alumnus honor role. I believe I rate a little mention there now, but} haven't time to write both them and you.

Every conceivable style and color developed in twill, crep, basket cloth, and mercerized pongee. Another good point to remember-Rising at 4 A. M. is not conducive to a long and extensive toilette. These middies and smocks have no buttons to come off, or hooks and eyes to bother with. The middies come in white and copenhagen blue twill. Some of the white ones have blue collars. _ _ _ _ _ _ . 9l III 0 ....... ... -
