Can we sing peace on. _earth Goad

To chempion the cause of the 9n-
ressed,
All fetters break and liberate, "Alas"
How long, ;Dear Lord, e'er this will
come to pass?
It seems, he woo accoliapii:h:d Adam is

Still holds the nations in his hellish

Just a few lines this afternoon as
I atm free for the rest of the day.
We received 27 new reinforcements
that's 34 men and; 1 officer io, all now
so are having things just a trifle

about that in last letter. While on
the highest p.'ak surveying the island
with the glasses it wee wwonderful;to
note the change in the island since
our arrival here Aug, 18, 1915. We
could see the 'vast nubmer of camps
and hospitals.;
On Monday evening we took
walk from our camp to the lock over
to the south of pier and bank home.
Now where we landed there silts
nothing not even a roadway or path
from the pier on up, while now it is
nothing but paved, road, cars and elect
ric lights. There is la proved road con-
necting all the camps and pier, have
also a power house installed supply
ing the pier and ordinence stores and
blong part of the roadway. Each
!camp has its own electric power plant
with ezeception of our own and guess
we don't get !any as we move again
soon, •going .to Greece this time so
trieinor has et.If so hope it is to some
civilized 'place. You know there is
su'c'h a thing in the army as the Army
Service Corpse. 'Now when they step
in • and take hold of a thing its a

and wires strung' and before the camp
is !rightly started they have their own
electric lights.. Anotb.r branch takes

a huge condensor is erected down by
the ;south pier, machinery put up,

of !Gypos rare set digging ,ditch

unbelievable 'the trucks ambulances

machine •shops for same, :the road
camps, ordinance stores, ,dco. * and
work that is done there, which never
ceases going day or night. It seemed
