EB84S KELLER GEES
TO FRANCE TWICE
Former I'nivarsity Student is With
First Troops Transported to
France; is Telephone Girl.
'i'. o ti it's 1 France, since May,
and urviw an attack by German
submarines, s the experience of Ed-
gar Kel' , ex-'18, since his enlist-
ment in i nited States Navy in
April.
"r ranee i all right," wrote Keller
in a recent lett.r, "but give me the
good old I . h ■ A. every time.
After enlisting in Oklahoma City he
was sent direct to Chicago where he
was immediately placed in the battle
ship Missouri and sent to Philadel-
phia. tie remained in the nevy yards
there for a month.
Keller was then transferred to the
Transport Henderson, and was in ser-
vice on the ship when it took the first
American soldiers to Franee. After
staying there two weeks his ship re-
turned to Philadelphia where he was
stationed for a month.
With another ship-load of soldiers,
the Henderson then started for
France again, and wa3 attacked by
six German submarines just off the
France coast. In tne battle that en-
sued the subs were driven away, but
Keller didn't think any of them were
hit.
Every since his transfer t . the
transport Henderson Keller has been
acting as telephone operator. "It is
all right to be telephone girl," be
vvrites, "but I wish they'd let me do
some fighting."
Keller is now on his way to France
for the third ti, ie.
main at home.

Keith Miller, B. A. '15, leaves Nor-
man this afternoon to join the Ameri-
can field service with the French
army in France. From here he will
go directly to New York, and he ex-
pects to sail from there October oth.
This branch of service was for-
merly called the American field am-
bulance corps, but since the entrance
of the United States into the war, it
has taken a broader scope, and now
includes all kinds of transport ser-
vice as well as ambulance driving.
Carl Magee, ex-'19, and Wilbur
Hightower who attended the la\
school last year, are now in servic •
there. Hightower is driving an am-
bulance, while Magee is driving .
transport truck between Paris and the
battle front.
Men in this service have to pay
their own expenses for clothing and
transportation, but after they ar-
rive there they are given the rations
of a French soldier.
Miller will drive an ambulance.
