 T have been sick in bed all day from the effects of some Boche gas last night. Just got up, 1t is 4 p. III.

We all carry gas masks at all times, day and night It is very hot today but will be very cold tonight though.
 "It has been very interesting to see the French try to down Boche plane. The whole sky at times is dotted with white jets of smoke where the shells from the anti-air craft guns explode. The French 75 is the most serviceable, the shell is about one foot long and about 2 inches in diameter"

 Yesterday, today and tomorrow the French are having an artillery preparation for the attack which is to come off on the Sth. Fritz of course replies all he can so it is very hard to drive The roads are in terrible condition. A train of camions would start for the front when a shell would kill several horses and then the road would be blocked. The drivers would make no effort to clear pas sage. Two of Us went on the cars at these times so as to clear the roads When we found dead horses we would unhitch the wagons and back them off the cliff and then we would either get some poilus to help pull the horses to one side or else hitch a rope onto the bodies and pull them aside with the machine. It is not very pleasant work to clear a road With Boche 32O's flying around. One of our cars was blown to pieces but luckily the driver was up the road backing off some wagons when it happened"

PRISONERS BUILD ROAD.

The second honor road camp
in Missouri, providing work for
twenty-five prisoners from the
state penitentiary, has been es-
tablished at Kenneth, Dunklin
county. The state road under
construction extends east from
the Arkansas state line through
Kennett to the Pemiscot county
line, q distance of eight miles,
and project is now under consi.
deration to extend the road
twelve miles east through Hayti
to Charlottesville. An idea of
the Importance of this road is
gained from the fact that it is
now necessary to drive a distance
OF more than 1875 miles around a
swamp in order to travel by
wagon or auto from kennett to
Hayti. When this road is con.
structed the distance will be
twenty miles, as straight as a
crow flies, and there will be a
heavy tonnage pass over the
road to shipping points on the
Mississippi River.
