Min0t Soldier Was in the Last Days
Fighting.


Grover Bishop received an interest
ing letter from liver Tonning, who is
with the American forces in France
Mr.. Tonning is an old Minot lad, being
foreman for the Smith & Wyman
house when he left here for the front
He says in part:
France, Nov. 10
The last letter wrote you said we
were ready for rest, but it did not
come. We pulled back to the front
lines the next morning and on Hallow-
cen we gave the Hun the best dem
onstration of celebrating that night
we knew and it kept on for ten
straight days, till they signed the
armistice. And believe me, he got his
belly full, too. III bet there was some
time in the States and in old Minot
when they received the news of the
signing of the armistice.
Well, Grover, the boys fought like
they never did before in the last drive
and thank God, it is nearly over. Our
boys sure deserve rest for we have
been in the thick Of it ever since the
first part of July, where other divis-
ions have had their rest.
| have not been sick a day since
coming over here and putting up with
all sorts of weather. You never know
where you will make your bed the
next night. Sometimes swamps, mud
holes, or wake up in the morning and
find yourself using dead horse for
a bed bunky. Some life | must say"

will be established, where one can get
rid of unwelcome visitors.

"Wksn the United States entered
the NY, there were only six regiments
of field artillery. Now there are
nearly 200 such regiments. The pro-
portion. ef artillery to infantry in the
army today Is about two to three.
The Cavalry did some mighty effective
work in the war, running the Huns to
a standstill. The United States beat
Germany at her own game, that of
war, and the. American army proved
that i. was able to deliver the goods. !"
Speaking Of accidents at Fort Sill,
the Major stated that number of
men were killed when the guns blew
up, owing to certain defects in their
manufacture. Finally, the guns were
set in concrete ,emplacements and
fired by means of long leather strap.
On the western front many Of our
men were killed on account of their
own guns blowing up, but this may
be expected to happen occasionally
when we are at war. The Major stat
ed also that early in the war, good
many of our own men were killed by
our own big guns For instance, an
attempt would be made to lay down
a barrage in a German trench, often
only little distance in front of our
own trenches. Owing to improper
calculations, the barrage often would
be laid down in our own trenches,
killing large numbers of our own
men,. A good many officers were re-
turned to this country for giving in
correct orders to the gunners, some
being reduced in rank and others be-
ing sent to a school Of fire.
