LETTERS FROM FRANCE.
Large Number of Letters from Coun.
ty Boys. Read Them.

A letter from r. H. Ingraham,
who enlisted from Glover, to C. L.
Erwin of Barton.
France, Jan. 20, 1918.
Dear Friends:
l received some time ago your let
ter and have just got around to an
swer it. l know l am rather slow
about such things but that's the linn
it.
Am not now with my battalion, not
having been for some time. Since l
was sent out of the line sick, / have
never felt better than now and will
soon be back with the Bait. again.
Am now att. to some light railroad
eng. but it is not a bomb-proof job.
For my part l had just as soon be in
the line.
The weather here the past few
days can't be beaten. The grass is
again starting to get green, but as
again.
l was with the Bait. at Ypres last
November. 1t was the worst l was
ever through, at Passchendale Ridge,
where the Canadians won more hon
ors of this war. The mud there was
something fierce, half way /. to the
knees and more in some places. The
morning we went "over the top" was
a dull dreary one. 1t was about 6
o'clock a. m. From $50 until that
time seemed ages. When l asked a
fellow who was in the same bay with
me what time it was, he said, "It's
almost time something started" I
don't believe he had the words out of
his mouth when we heard the most
terrible roar. The ground trembled
and it seemed like an earthquake.
Well did We know it was our batter
les, and peeking out to get look we
could see nothing but a sheet of
flame along the German lines. I
couldn't say what happened after
that. Maybe I've said too much
now, but don't think so to let this let
ter go through. But that happened
long enough ago there should be no
harm in writing about it now.
Have just been reading Congress-
man Dale's letter to the Monitor,
which has been sent to me from Bar
ton. He has sure seen some of the
war area and has a good idea what it
is like, too. l made the second trip
in line over Vimy Ridge, where he
was. You could stand on that quite
safely and look away behind Fritz's
lines. His letter will surely open the
eyes of those back there who have
"victory" already won. But it is far
from it yet. 1t gives good idea of
what the infantry have to witness in
an advance.
1 guess this is about enough of
this war stuff. Am going to begin to
slam things around now to quiet the
rats for a while. They are far too
much company for my liking, and
then go over to Y. M. G. A. canteen.
l don't know what we would do if it
wasn't for them and the Red Cross. I
received a comfort bag from the Bar
ton branch. A hundred thanks to the
ladies of that branch for it.
With best wishes to all, Master
Russell included,
Robert.

WITH PARACHUTE
French Aviator DemOnstra-
ties PracticabiIity of Such
a Maneuver.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY n
FRANCE. Tuesday, July 30-(By As.
ociated Press - Capt Sarrett, a
french aviator. has carried out the
irst experiment on rec1G Of falling
rom a moving aerOplane with a para
chute Capt Sarrett dropped 500 yards
with an umbrella IL yards in diameter
and landed safely
He occupied and fell from the OBJ.
servers position but similar expert.
ments for the pilot will be undertaken
soon.
The aviator CTawled out Of his seat
when the plant was above smooth
ground and hung by his hands with
the parachute firmly attached to his
body and lightly attached to the aero
plane. When he jumped the para
chute opened perfectly and bore him
gently to the ground where he landed
unframed.
This is the first time that an avia.
tor has jumped from a machine with
q parachute. Experiments in the past
have been made with sand bags which
we're cut loose at varying heights.
Although Capt Sarret's trial was
made at a height Of 500 meters it is
eelare there is no obstacle TO jump
ing a greater distance since the para
chute has an even better chance to
open. When successful the employ
ment Of parachutes will save the lives
Of many aviators. Airmen viii be able
to leave their flaming machines and
will not meet death as did Major Raoul
Lufberry on May 10.

PARIS. July 3l-American troops
maintained their position in the re-

they carried out after violent fight
ing, according to an official statement
from the war office today.
The Germans made four attacks
against the new French positions east

pulsed and the French line held in
tact.
The French and the Germans car
ried out raids at a number OF dher
points on sectors east and west of the
Marine salient, but there was no
change in the general situation at
these points.
