That he was nothing more than 4

lively little TO say of himself. or of

with the town and its surroundings
He toured northern and southern Col

of his time as possible in the college

We have experienced about every
kind of warfare on the list excepting
liquid fire-aerial attacks. poison gas.
schrapnei fire. gas bombs. machine
gun fire, etc. We think We have the
most honest section in the war, as
there has not yet been man that has
not admitted being scared stiff at one
time or another.
The thing that impresses me most
is the gigantic bigness of this war and
the large way il is carried on. We
have only seen a couple of sectors SO
so far and everywhere il is the same.
the complete and thorough way every
thing is done to the very smallest de-
tail. Just think of the French holding
500 kilometers OF trenches with mil
lions of men. women and children do
ing their bit to hold every inch of
ground and drive the invaders out
The management and Judgment used
by the French officers is absolutely
wonderful. when one considers what
would cause. II seems as though the
whole country is one big war institu-
ton with every one doing his or her
share.
Everyone l meet seems to be abso-
luteiy sure of ultimate victory but
most people seem to think il will last
for a long time yet. They are sure
depending on the Americans doing
wonderful things. Every time we talk
to soldier the first question he asks
Is. How many Americans in France. s.
and When are they going to start op-
erations." The American army is sure
popular over here and is sure respect
cd by the French people.
Thanking you for the papers and
your kind interest In the boys over
here. l remain.
Yours respectfully.
