The following very interesting letter has been received by Bursar Jenkins, of the University of Idaho from Oscar Munson, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Munson, of Moscow. Oscar was born and reared in Latah county and graduated from Moscow high school and the University of Idaho. His letter follows:
In France, Aug. 3, 1918.
Mr. Francis Jenkins,
Bursar, University of Idaho,
Moscow, Idaho.
My dear Mr. Jenkins:—Sunday tomorrow and that means that this afternoon is inspection, letter writing and visiting with the peasants in order to learn more of the French language. I don't know what we would do if it wasn't for our Saturday afternoon and Sundays. I have now spent enough of them that I now have one gold service stripe which adorns my left sleeve. I often wonder how many more of them I will receive before the war is finished.
A long row of gold stripes would perhaps appear to be artistic, I suppose, but the life of that kulterer Kaiser just that much too long to suit most of us.
It makes a man over here feel good to see the way the people are backing him up while he is over here with the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. the liberty bonds and the I. W. W. curtailment.
