Clearton Reynolds writes from Ist Aero Co., Signal Corps, U. S. N. G., Mineola, L. I.: "Am busy as the d— with the military life that was so suddenly thrust upon us. We are very busy training military aviators with a great shortage of equipment. The lack of preparedness in this branch of service is more d—able than in any other, according to our way of believing. The men are doing all they can, and I with the others enjoy our flying tremendously."
Lieut. Lehman S. Miller of the Corps of Engineers writes from Columbus, N. Mex.: "Since. I left Dartmouth in June! of 1910, I have seen very few of the men of that class whom I enjoyed being associated with for two years. However, I remember nearly all of them . . . . It was with much regret that I was forced to leave Dartmouth—forced by financial circumstances—and I never quite recovered from the disappointment. In 1911 I entered West Point, graduating in 1915, and was immediately appointed a lieutenant in the Corps of Engineers. Have been in Mexico since last March with the punitive expedition. A daughter was born to Mrs. Miller after I came here, so you can imagine with how much anticipation I look forward to returning home again." Only those of the very highest records in -West Point make the Corps of Engineers, so that it is evident that Lieut. Miller has been very successful.
H. M. Brown writes from Troop A, 1st Cavalry, D. C. N. G., "You see it happened like this: while I was in Washington I was a member of Troop A, 1st Cavalry, N. G. D. C., and when I left here for Youngstown, Ohio, I applied for my discharge. There was a delay in its being granted, and when the mobilization of the national guards was ordered, I was ordered by wire, to report here from Youngstown. . . . The life is great, though the work is tiresome and irksome at times. "Chippie" Semmes '13, Murphy '13, and myself are all "high privates" in the rear rank. . . . We are supposed to have a
"crack" troop here, about 90 per cent of the men being college graduates." Harry had just moved to Youngstown, 0., for work with the Trussed Concrete Steel Co.
Scott Rogers sends a card in which, he appears as a charming barefoot dancer. He writes: "We had a little show down here a while ago, in which I had the job of burlesquing Ruth St. Denis. It worked very well, so that I put it on at the Advertising Convention in Philadelphia, to which I was a delegate. All this is just side issue to the steel business, which is my present work."

Henry Viets writes very enthusiastically of Oxford from 33 Wellington Square of that famous old city. He writes: "Oxford is better than Connie ever told us, and goodness knows he was crazy about the place." In an earlier letter he wrote: "Well, you see I am here. The fact is, I have been here for nearly three weeks, and three better weeks I have never spent in my life. The first night I stopped at the Eastgate, so I could get up in the morning and have an early morning view of your wonderful Magdalen,—and it surely was beautiful, standing there in its perpendicular glory, guarding the once famous coach road to London. That morning I spent wandering around your quads, being stared out of countenance by the wonderful old figures on the buttresses, taking a look at the Founder's Town, down Addison's walk with the deer and the river on either side. . . . The next day I found Professor Sherrington in his laboratory. . . . . He was glad to see me and gave me a fine room to work in. I began work at once, and have been at it pretty steadily until this week, the last week of term, with everyone running around talking about 'vivas' and othert new names to me. I also found Sir William Osier, who was very kind and had me to dinner. . . . Bill Flint has had me to tea, and we have taken one or two rides together. Of course I got a push bike, and have seen some of the nearby country . . . . I shall not live in a college, as I shall only be here a few months. . . . I am much in love with Oxford, and know I shall enjoy every minute of it. I am tempted to buy out each of the old book stores every time I go by." Viets did not go out for hospital work with the Third Harvard Unit, as reported.
Harry Trapp married, June 26, at Laconia, N. H., Florence Stetson McGloughlin of Laconia. After November 1 they will live at 34 Fair St., Laconia.

Heinie Urion writes that he has had a most successful year in his profession, and that the outlook is even more promising. He is with the oldest firm in Chicago, and it is small enough so that he can work directly with its members. Their practice extends to practically every branch of the law except divorce and criminal work (although Heinie personally volunteered the defense of a couple of hardened crooks for the experience). Heinie has had some fine court experience with Mr. Reichmann, noted as a trial lawyer. The firm has issued cards on which Heinie's name appears.
Hugh Eaton has changed his residence address to 34 Midland Ave., White Plains, N. Y. He underwent an operation about the last of June.
Rainy Lines writes from Paris: "I resolutely turned my face away from Mexico and the militia and sailed June 24. Got here just in time to have an operation for rupture and appendicitis. Followed that up by chicken pox and grippe, so that at present I take short walks with the aid of a stick and try to possess my soul in patience. It has been borne upon me that I should return and seek me out a job, but having come over I hate to return without doing some ambulance work, and the family feel about the same way. So if I get strong enough there is no telling what will happen or when I shall return . . . . Things seem to be going on very nicely over here, although your friends from across the Channel can't keep up with the poilu pace, try as hard as they like. Nevertheless, it looks as though the English really had started to do something except hold on and pray."
Secretary, Conrad E. Snow, 8 Story St., Cambridge, Mass.
