ceaselessly and successfully, as shown
by the sums they turned in, and the
large attendance at the afternoon sale
and both evening auctions speak for
themselves. 1t is impossible to thank
in person all who contributed so gem
erously of their time, their money or
their household goods. Special thanks,
however, are due to the auctioneers,
to Sargent's orchestra and for the use
OF the Armory.

LETTER FROM FRANCE.
VIM. F. Bell Tells of the Destruction
Left BY the Germans.

Vim. F. Bell Tells of the Destruction
Left By the Germans.
The following letter was written by
VIM. F. Bell, one of the first Ameri-
cans to reach France, to his mother.
in Lunenburg:
Aug. 70, 1917. Somwhere in France.
Dear Mother:
Just a short letter to let you know
how we are. 1 am feeling fine and
happy. We are now in the part~of
France which was wrecked by the
Germans. We are camped in what
was once a village, but you would
hardly know it. There isn't hardly
any houses left standing and those
are wrecks, also the trees are all cut
down. The country is all laid tc
waste around us, the villages all
wrecked, hardly one brick left on top
of another. One does not realize it
TIL they see it. It looks like a big
desert all around us where there were
once villages and farm houses.
The part of France which we came
through that the Germans have not
been into is a very beautiful country:
the green fields and hills remind me OF
Vermont but there is an expression OF
sadness over everything. One only
sees old men and women on the
streets and the big houses are mostly
all closed.
The climate here is about the same
as at home, but I guess the winters
are not so cold. By the way, if yoJ
have a chance, find out if Captain
Breitling is over here or not, and hi.
| address, and will try and locate him
if he is over here. We had fine tri1
through England. That is sure ;
pretty country. -
In regard to how the war is com
| ing on, don't know any more abou
| it than when I was in America. TIL,
French soldiers that / have talked
with seem to think it will end soon
| but the British seem to think it vii
| last another year.
| AS there is nothing more T cal
write about will close for this time
| Love to all, from your son,
Private VIM F Bell.
