 This war must end some time and the only way to bring it about is to go after the Kaiser so strong when you do start that he will have no come back left. We can at the present time drive him out of any position we may go af- ter him but he has so much the advan- tage because of the railways, good houses to fillet in, besides rations can be brought up much easier on his side of the line than ours, where often ad- vance roads are all blown up, railways destroyed and only the cellars left of the houses, still we keep advancing, and we never have lost foot of ground just of once taken.
 
 are of the Kaiser type 1 will tell you a little incident which occurred the other day. I was bringing out two wounded men on q handcar-One a Fritz and the other Canadian. The sun was very hot and the Canadian had one arm shot off so he could not shade his eyes, and the Fritz took off his hat and put it over the Canadisn's face The same day a bunch of our boys got near a Fritz's trench and he took them in and dressed their wounds and gave them coffee to drink and then brought them back over to our lines. One Fritz Red Cross man worked two days at our dressing sta tion and did fine work He seemed very glad to be taken a prisoner.
 "The Germans prisoners are given the same treatment we give our own wounded men and they always seem so surprised, as they have been told by their officers that we will iiltreat them kill every prisoner we capture.
 France is beautiful now that the summer has come and if we did not have to live in dugouts or dodge shells when outside, life would be very pie as ent here, but am now too close to the firing line to make it seem like vaca- tion. Big shells are going over my head with roar like young railroad train. Infact some of the boys call it the Overhead Line
 My home, at present, is in a dugout thirty-five feet deep. It has two wide starways and room for six men. It was made for Fritz and is good job and like it all fine except the lice; they like me too well.
 June 29 "So here 1 am bumped up on my pack with d great coat on (as i it IS cold and rainy) trying to imagine l how it would seem to be in nice warm room with tables and chairs where 1 could sit down comfortably and write to you. It is now twelve months since slept in a real bed or sat down to a l table to eat meal. l am so use to 1t now that the hardships do not trouble me. One gets so fed up with camp life that they loose all interest in every thing.
 Today bunch of German prisoners passed while we were out at drill and they seemed just bunch of boys, treating the fact that they were prison CTS as huge joke.
 Guess they thot they were lucky not to have been killed.
 Sunny France has been losing her reputation as it has rained nearly every day for the past week or more. 1 have not been to the front for two weeks, in fact have done nothing at all only little guard duty.
 We are running sick hospital and as no one gets sick these fine summer ys, weare cut of a job. How Fritz eyer stands the pounding he is getting these days is more than 1 can see. Our guns keep up steady roll night and day and he keeps pulling back trench 1 LII oo, eaS Lt OeCOlleS IUO IiOJ IGE Hill.
