Believing that the war win not last
much longer he says: 1.-THE war with
not last much longer. Everyone says
SO. We are nearing the time where II
is going to end suddenly. You may
ask me how do you know? Well, there
are some things cannot tell you, but
It Is surely coming"
Referring to the condition In the
trenches he writes, "Ill tell you some
nights up there where we were, were
easily comparable to the lower re.
aims, and no one who has never ex-
perienced it can imagine what men
go through while there. 1t is simply
beyond imagination. People In the
States read incidents and other things
that happen, but to them It only
means a sort OF story. like the eli.
max OF novel. But If they could ex.
perience a little of 1t as 1t really ex.
lists. believe me they would cease
their talking and get down to action
and do something. OF course they
cannot do any actual fighting We
were sent over there for that. But
there are thousand and one other
things which they can do to make the
soldiers happy"
Speaking OF the burial of an Am
