site. I was to town last nite and Saturday night also. Its a nice place of about 3500. Nice stores and I haven't been out to the residence district. There are about 15,000 men here now and 10,000 more to come. This Y.M.C.A. is certainly a dandy place. This one is the Nebraska but I just drifted in tonite. They have a piano, victrola, graphophones, a place for moving picture machine and there's a show here tomorrow nite. Reading material and writing facilities, furnished free except stamps. A bunch of fellows now are singing some S.S. songs. Sounds pretty good. I think I'll spend most of my evenings here rather than go uptown. It will be lots better
