SOLDIERS Fight RATS
LOUIS MOLLOY, Oh THIS CITY,
GETS LETTER DIRECT FROM
FRENCH TRENCHES.

Fresh from the blood stained
trenches Of northern France, and eX-
uding an air Of military discipline, a
letter addressed TO Louis Molloy, Of
the Molloy orchestra, yesterday
reached this city. The letter was
written January 9 by John Perfect, a
native of England, with whom Mr..
Molloy travelled in France and i'm
Canada. Mr.. Perfect was in Canada
when the war broke out, and imme-
diately went to England 10 enlist.
Although his reference to trench
life makes it obvious that the bat
almost constantly within rifle range
of the Austro-German forces, Mr..
Perfect evidently fearing that his
letter would be confiscated by the
censors If he waxed too descriptive,
does not refer to any engagement in
which he may have been engaged.
Following is the letter, in part:
"~21937.16 Platoon, Fourth company,
Fourth battalion, Grenadier guard,
b. +. T.. France.
Dear friend Louis: You will
probably be surprised to know that
have been here since October 4.
There was frost here at first, but for
the past six weeks il has been warm.
Lately we have been unable to do
much, on account of heavy rains.
I'VE are in the trenches for two
days and two nights at a time, and
are then in reserve for two days and
two nights. At the end of every
twelve days, we are out into billets
for six days rest. We went in
Christmas and came out last Sunday
night.
During our recent intrenchment
we spent most of the time pumping
water from the trenches, day and
night. The trenches swarm with
hundreds of big rats. We have for
pets cats that have been turned out
of homes. One can hear a%eroplanes
humming round all day. Our artil-
lery gets the range splendidly, assist.
ed by the use of the telephone.
I'VE are now out for a long rest
and are billeted in a barn. The boys
are a jolly lot of fellows, and joke
through it all. Our regiment band is
here, and occasionally gives us a con.
cert. We get tobacco and cigarets
every week from home. While of
duty, we engage in football matches
