BY MOONLIGHT THY LROADMOOR LOOMS LIKE AN ITALIAN VILLA FROM TH Recreation’s Shrine Amid the Rockies “T= BroapMoor, at Colorado Springs, society's latest rendez- vous, is surrounded by its own mountain-park of 2,000 acres. @ Golfers who have played the finer courses of this continent and the old, have found THe BroapMoor’s undulating links beyond compare. Interlacing the pine-strewn crags are innumerable bridle-paths and smooth, wide motor-roads that invite the pre-breakfast gallop and the morning spin. @ Overhead, the Coloradan skies are sapphire blue. The nights have amillion stars. The sweet, clean air sparkles vigor. THe BroapMoor is nota mere hotel. Architecturally, it is a triumph of Italian art. @With Nature's most exquisite mountain wilderness as its back- ground it is a place of rest and beauty that all the world might envy. ™ BROADMOOR COLORADO SPRINGS BUILT OF STONE.

The sounding of the Klaxon was the sign that there was no gas in the air. I guess we had them on fully thirty minutes before we heard the Klaxon sound, and if prop- erly put on they are air-tight, and the chemical used in them is rather sickening the first few times worn, before getting used to it, and I was mighty glad to re- move it, We did not get wise to it until the following day, when the fellows told us it was only a joke. They told us ‘hat we naturally fell hard for it, and they al- most choked laughing. Personally, I thought it > very good joke and initia- tion, We are now waiting to py the next new men, Yours most sincerely. Tuesday, March 12, 1918. Deak Fries Received your letter several days ago. To say I was pleased does not half ex press it. If you people only knew what those letters from home really mean to us! But you never will understand, for you never will be in the trenches. No, we are not homesick, neither are we discouraged or downhearted I do not know of a time in my life when I was more care-free, contented and happy PETER J. CAREY, PRINTER than Tam right here in my little dug- out, where at times it seems to be a regular inferno, ‘A man up here soon learns to look at things in a different way. The more chances he takes the happier he is. Two months in the trenches, and we never grumble any more if our “chow” isn’t as we think it should be. Our clothes are muddy and torn, with no chance to change them for days. There are hundreds of rats, but we do not mind them. They seldom attack us, although they do eat our reserve rations, which is the cause of some men getting court martialed. T can make the best candles you ever saw, from bacon grease and tallow. The coffee serves three purposes. We drink it, use it for shaving, and some men use it instead of ink. Some coffee! The men who are fortunate enough to live through this war will certainly be benefited by the experience. Everything is so big over here, if there is an atom of good in a man, being in the trenches brings it out. Few men are cowards when it comes to the real thing, after all. We used to think we were patriotic, but never have we appreciated the U. S. A. so much as while fighting for Mrs, Owen tells me you have been do- ing Red Cross work.
