Dear Mother:
The Y. M. G. A. just opened and
gave US some paper. | received
fifteen letters and two cards to-
day. Everyone was out of to-
bacco and cigarettes. | received
two packages from Louise New

to get the butts. They sure tasted
fine. I'll sure send her a SOU

girl at Buffaloo. dropped card
there when we went through.

going to write to Grace tonight.
l don't suppose you will. get all
the letters l wrote you, but l am
writing every day can.
They brought in a bunch of
Fritzies last night. They were a
happy bunch to think they were
captured. All they had for hat
was a piece of gunnysack: no
coats, and their shoes were all in.
They We're as thin as rails. They
crowded from their trenches to
the French so they could sur
render. One of them said in a
broken voice, Where are. you
fellows from?" Someone said
Holland He spoke up and
said, "You can't feed us that
stuff. know who you are and
know where you're from" He
said, You're from the good old
q. S. A. | lived there for ten
years and when the war broke out
| went back TO fight for Germany,
like a fool. l found out America
was in it, and l surrendered the
first chance l got" He said,
Boys, I'll give this war not later
than October is to last. If the
people of Germany knew the con-
dition of this country there would
be a rebellion tomorrow, but they
don't know it. They think this
country is starving to death, but
they are the ones who are starv-
ing. He said they hadn't had a
thing to eat for five days. They
don't even know the u. S. A. are
in it, but ] guess they will find it
out. He said the Germans
wouldn't stay in the trenches an
other winter-that they couldn't.
Well, mother, | am feeling fine
and just came from good feed.
am going to bed now. I'm al
most caught up on sleep; never
out later than 9 bells. They were
saying tonight that we would only
be allowed to write one letter a
week, but | don't think they will
cut us down that much. They
just had an air fight. | sat here
and watched them. They fired
about fifty shots. | can still see
the smoke. Airplanes here are
as common as Fords in the u.

tomorrow if can. Heaps of love
and kisses to all. Your son,

chance. Remember when was

get me. would have written
sooner but had no paper, or mon
ely to buy any. We haven't been
paid for two months, and every
body is broke, but the Y. M. C. A..
came today and gave us some
paper. | thought everyone had
forgotten me at Missouri Valley,
but yesterday | got fifteen letters
and two cards, so feel much
better today. sure hope your
brothers were not drafted, and
I'm sure if they are they will
never leave the U. S. A. Monday
night they brought in 200 pris-
oners that crawled from their
trenches to the French trenches
to escape and get something to
eat. They had gunnysacks made
into caps. They had not coats,
and their shoes were all in. They
told us that they hadn't had a
thing to eat for five days. Also
told US IL war couldn't last long
that the people in Germany
were starving. Out of the 900

We have an air raid every day,
but no damage done. Airplanes

Missouri Valley. Well, Jerry, we
had some time coming over. I

they did sink us, would have
been right at home. BY the time

Terrible Wounds inflicted.

The room was filled with the screams

from the outside found four woman
teachers. wonderfully self-possessed.

what help was possible to their little
charges and trying to calm those who
were only slightly hurt. Many Of the
children were lying limp and helpless
across the shattered desks, bleeding
from terrible wounds Others were
writhing In pain, and some bodies were
unacceptable.
The helpers removed the victims a.
speedily as possible. and. in the alb
sence of ambulances. took the worst
cases In tradesmen's carts to q hos
