Editor The Advertiser: to
I have been in France since Oct. Hn
5th and have intended to write you,
as you requested, for some time,
but have been to busy to do much n?
writing except to my family and ae'
home folks. , J?a
I had a very delightful trip coming
over and it was my happy privilege
to visit a great many places of w<
interest, all of which I would be only ar
too glad to describe to you but as jsn
we can't mention the names of the I 3,1
... . . . i
piui-us we stopperl thfe description
would be of little interest. ta
There were three other doctors ty
with me from South Carolina and O
we were together all the way o?er n<
and every place we stopped we look- la
od up the hospitals-and visited them. rt
We were treated mighty fine and
wero shown everything there wad to tc
see. We were treated as the very in
be?t and every courtesy was shown !i:
us. ^ o<
After reaching headquarters, A. cl
E. F., we four were assigned to different
organizations, and I was w
lueky enough to be assigned to a P
base hospital on the lines of com- a
* munication. . e
When I reached the hospital I was
assigned to the medical staff under
a man who is very prominent in medicine
in the States, but 1 was there r
only ten days and I was detailed on
temporary duty to one of the large ?
camps to open up a camp hospital, *
and I have been on duty here since, c
though I am still attached to the ~
base hospital. "
... t
The work here is very interesting ^
We have had the camp hospital open jj
now about ten days and we have hid 4
a great variety of cases; in fact we
arc a kind of clearing house for the
sick of the various organizations thai ^
are passing through the camp. W< g
keep the light or simple cases an
treat them and all serious cases w
transfer to the base hospital.
My duties are various. I am ar
sistant to the camp surgeon and ! A
Vhave to do sanitary inspection, hold F.

t
k call for the different organizans
and detachments that come inthe
camp withouL medical officers,
d do ward work.
Some days I have very little to do
kile at other times 1 am busy from
>rning till night. However, it all
ems to agree with me for I have
incd about 20 pounds since I left
e States.
We have had some very cold
jather since the first of December
id the ground has >een covered with
ow for nearly a week. It is still
owing but some warmer.
Well, France is a great place. Cer
inly it is a beautiful country, pret
chateaux with beautiful grounds,
f course they arc not as well kept
>w on account of the scarcity of
bor. The roads are grand, with a
>w of beautiful trees on either side.
The people have been very nice
) us and arc anxious to help us out
i every way. Very few speak Engsh,
however, and as I haven't learn1
any French I do not have much
r.ance to talk with the people.
I wish I could be at home for a
hile now and talk to some of the
eople I know who have "pet" ideas
bout the war and its progress and
(Tects. I think I could state a few
acts that would kill a few opinions
lat I heard before leaving home.
I do not know anyone who bad
rasped the situation as it really is.
t is now regarded here that all talk
f an early pence is German propaanda
and those engaging in it arc
lassed as allies of the kaiser, for an
arly peace can only be a Germuntade
peace, a German victory. Such
ulk, therefore ' , of course very
armful and dangerous. I would
ke to write more, but will have tc
top for this tim<>.
Give all the good people of Cheserfield
my very t est wishes and tel
hem I hope to be buck with then
ome day.
With very beat regards,
I am yours truly,

:hase a war thrift or war savings
rn. stamp as it is for anyone to buy a
itick of gum," was the statement
itc made today by P. M. Rea, war-sav.ngs
vice-director for the state of
llj" South Carolina, in formally announcj,
ng a special drive which has been inm.
stituted for the purpo^ of securing
ou lgents in the sale of war savings
stamps.
r Of about 350,00 authorized agen^
cies which the government hopes to
l\\ ?|/|/vnib uciutc me iiroi ui r curuary,
r8. louth Carolina's allotment is 5,489.
Of this quota, the state has responded
ed with only 2.4 per cent., only 136 ' a
by igents having been appointed Z3
L(b through January 15, according to ofro.
ficial advices received from Washl8t
;ngton. Of 62 quotas, South Carolina
is 47th, or only 9th, from the
r(| last, and it is this fact that has
orompted the war savings committee
^ to make a special drive towards seeg
curing agents. Application blanks
^ may be secured from pastofttces, g^.
ag county chairman, or second class
agents, such as banks, and should be
bigned and ?eni to thj state head ^
j*e quarters in Charleston, R. (I. Hhclt,
e director. Application should be made SU
P" at flVice.
'jj 14 We expect to have a sales agen- oU
cy for every 300 population," Mr.
Ren stated. "Any indvidual, firm,
er store, or corporation may become an Oil
m agent by making application. It enh
tails no expense, whatever, and helps
as the patriotic work considerably. To
11 --
v ?eu muae stamps lor the government
?e is to take care of our boys at the
fh front, to help win the war and to in- yyl
as crease the economic strength of our
e- state and nation."
