OTIS BRIDGES WRITES ABOUT THE RHINE. Mr. R. E. Allen recently wrote to Otis Bridges, who is with the Ameri can Army of Occupation. In the course of his letter he used these words: “Dear Otis —The world loves the German Rhine with its castles and vineyards, its history and traditions, with its chivalry and poetry, from its cradle in the snowy Alps to its grave in the sands of Holland. But the world does not love the house of Hohenzollem, where the haughty Prussians sit to plan their raid of shame, and will not endure it,” etc. In reply to this letter, Otis writes under date of May 13th from Tourin tien, Germany, as follows: Dear Bob —Received your letter of April 4th a few days ago, and was glad to hear from you and to bear that you all are well. This leaves me getting along as fine as I can. Went to Andernach on pass yesterday, and guess I will go on a three day pass tomorrow to Neunhar, a German town not far from here. Bob, I sure wish that you could take a trip down the Rhine on boat or on land. I have taken three boat rides on the Rhine and 1 have made several trips in our commerce truck along the river. One good thing they have over here and that is good roads. They may be crooked and steep, but they are made out of stone and concrete. It’s about 25 or 30 miles from where we are to Coblenz, and I have been there several times, and most of the way the road runs right along the water’s edge, and with a row of green trees on both sides of the road, and the river runs between high hills and mountains, and with the mountains in cultivation where it is possible, it makes scenery that surpasses in beauty any that I have ever seen. As you say, they have these hills all planted in grape vines and fruit. Bob, I have been riding along the Rhine and have seen a string of boats half a mile long, and at the same time I can see a freight train over on the other side running right alongside the river. Andernach on the Rhine is an old historical town now of 9,000 people. 1 notice just as we go into Andernach an old crane that was in use several hundred years ago. I have been told that prisoners of war were kept in there and run this thing; just how they operated it I don’t know, but I was given to understand that it was a cruel way of doing. And on my ride dow n the river I noticed a large steel bridge across the Rhine that that has been built by the Allied prisoners of war and it wasn’t quite done w’hen the armistice was signed. Some one on the boat laughed and said “Do you reckon they will finish building it?” Good as to say no. The farthest down the river I have been was to Bonn, which, as you know, is an old historical town of 80,000 people. Now, this trip was the best of all. With a little raiding party, we took in some of the places. 1 know you have read of Beethoven (1 may not spell it right), but any w r ay we went in the house where he made his music and instruments. There were the sheets of music and his instruments just like he left them. We also went into the room where he was born. Bob, 1 could tell you a lot more than 1 can .write. But I can say this much, that I have seen some of the prettiest places over here I ever saw or ever will see anywhere. Yes, 1 notice old castles all along the Rhine, but I haven’t any dope on these castles, as there are so many that I can't recollect who built them or anything about them. I recollect one, l believe, that was built in 1100 and something. I wish that I could recollect all such as this. Will write you again soon. I think we will be on our way home by July. W. O. BRIDGES.
