McElderry Geo. McElderry, Who has been in a hospital in France the greater paat of the time.since Septem- ber 30th. recovering from being gassed, is now in a base hospital at Long Island, recovering from influenza. In a letter to his mother Mrs. C. W. McElderry a few days ago, he says. After a stormy Voyage, I am once more in Gods country. We were eleven days on the deep seas. .We landed in Hoboken on March 3rd, disembarked the 4th and took the train here. To discribe anything in regards to this trip in France and Belgium in black and white would be impossible, so I wont attempt it now, except to say it was one continuous thrill. But the biggest thrill Ive ever had so far in my young life, was on seeing Miss liberty in the harbor. We were all forward watching for the shore line at six oclock in the morning. At noon, we saw the statute through a light fog. Nobody cheered and nobody wept, but everybodys eyes were a r little damp, and most of us missed our dinner to take in everything. The sky line of lower Manhattan, the boats, the docks and especially .the ferry boats loaded.with honest to goodness people instead ot frogs,, it was like an oasis to a thirsty When we docked the Arab. band played ' Hail, Hail, the Gangs all Here. This is one song I never like to hear, because it makes me think of four pals of mine, who were part of the gang and are not here now, and I think they ought to think a little on this and leave it out, in respect to those of the "gang that are absent. I But any way they also played Home Sweet Home and a few others. Then the Red Cross, Y.M.C.A., K. of C. and the Salvation Army came aboard and passed out gum, cigarettes and candy.
