Show Page Two WEBER HERALD WM. M1NSON WRITES KASIUS (Continued from page 1.) over for us fellows in the service. And I hope they will have to carry the brunt of the war. Well, this may seem a little monotonous, so will change the subject. Last week we received our lessons and commands in the use of the gas mask. That's the damdest thing I ever saw. You ought to have seen me when I first put it on. Inside of the mask there is a clamp which fits over your nose, that makes it impossible to breathe through your nose. Then there is a rubber business which fits into your mouth, between the lips and teeth and two rubber tongs which go between your teeth. Well, when I first put the mask on, I clamped my nose down and took a breath through my mouth before I put the attachment in my mouth so as to breathe through the respiratory tube and the mask (which is a very thin rubber which fits over your face), came bang up against my face, and 1 really thought the thing had exploded. In my excitement, I tried to exhale the air through my nose and 1 damn near strangled to death, but after I worked two or three times 1 came out on top. Well, such are our experiments and experiences. We are going away, 1 don't know where, hut its on our way across the pond. We leave next week. We have been told, but I am not at liberty to saw when, but I wish I could. I suppose I will be the first ,Weber student to reach Prance. I hope so. You know military law, and when they tell you something and say this is a secret, you know what that means. We can't leave our barracks, to go over to the canteen without getting a pass. That's the way we know we are going to leave, because it is always done about five days before leaving. In this way you can't get cold feet and go over the hill. Well, when you hear from me again send me one of those papers, which is dedicated to the soldiers of Weber. I may see foreign soil. Don't write until you hear from me again either. Well, I am going down and see Julia tonight for the last time. Julia Wade, I mean. She is going to a college, and is doing fine. Well, Andy. I wish you all the success in the world in your activities. Make old Weber boom in everything she does. So long, BILL.

"MORMON" BOYS ARE FIRST IN EVERYTHING AT CAMP GRANT (Ogden Camp Grant, III., Nov. 15. Camp -irant has been made well aware of the fact that one hundred Salt Lake 'Mormon" boys are in camp. These chaps are first in everything. As soon as they arrived some weeks ago under the captaincy of Hugh B. Sprague, they began to make themselves at home. And in a few days they have succeeded in winning first place in the Ambulance battalion. Sanitary Train No. 311, which is a part of the 186th division under the command of Major General Barry. Thursday night, at the regular weekly singing practice in the Y. M. V. A. auditorium, these proud "Mormon" lads sang their favorite songs, to-wit: "They Say That These Mormon Boys Aint Got No Style," "Utah, the Queen of the West," and others. Most of the Utah chaps are college men and some of them have made iiiiermountain reputations for themselves in athletic circles. Earl "Brownie" Wilson, the star quarter SCHOOL FOR SOLDIERS Since I've joined the army, I've learned to salute and drill, To do fatigue and to police, Both much against my will. To rise at five each morning, And therefore early to bed, To obey commands promptly, No matter how they're said. To eat what's set before me, Tho thrice a day 4ts hash, To live on thirty dollars per And be always minus cash. To try my very best to be A private who is first class, To visit home at Dad's expense When I can get a pass. To write the boys from my home town That army life's all fun, To tell the girls I miss 'em, Especially a certain "One." WM. MINSON.
