 WRITES FROM OVERSEAS

Thomas StrimpIe has received the following very interesting letter from w A. Taylor, who is with the Ameri- can eXpeditionary force in France:
 "In France, Dec. 31, 1917. Dear Tommy and Boys:
 q received your most welcome pack age and really can't express my thanks for your kindness. I have been in the hospital for a month but will be out in a week.
 "Well, boys, the Copper River would sure look good to me, for the more l see of the world the more I think of Alaska. We have been treated good over here, and we get alorg fine with the other soldiers of the allies.
 We have been hitting the balP since we landed here, getting things in shape to handle the big army and its supplies. It is a very big job but everybody is working with a will and we are getting a lot done. All the men are in good spirits and anxious to get a crack at the 'Fritzies.
 q am not bit sorry that came over for I have seen lots of things that would not have otherwise have seen.
 There are a fine bunch of men in this regiment We had a football schedule among the companies of the regiment and we sure had a few tough games. E and F Co.'S were tied for the championship of the regi- ment. I was a substitute halfback on E Go. team.
 There are lot of American sol diers over here now and more coming all the time. We were the first after General Pershings army to land We have to do without lot of things that I've are used to-in the food line We don't hardly see any milk or sugar at all, and as for cakes or pastry they can't be had.
 Economy is the watchword over here for it is food as we'll as men that will win the war, and the more food we save the more men we can have over here. I believe England is the most economical country in the world, with France a close second.
 Coal is scarce and we have to be very saving with it.

TAKES MOTHERS TIP
 WILL JOIN ARMY

Victor SjOlseth, who has been min ing on Gold Hill, in the Fairbanks dis trict, arrived in Cordova and is on his way to the states to enter the army. This young man decided to join the colors immediately upon the receipt of letter from his mother from the states, in which she intimated regret that neither of her boys had found it possible to enter the service Right then and there he decided to quit the mining game and sold his interest to his brother. This is another instance of the mothers of American boys prov ing positively that they did bring their boys up to be soldiers.

lieve me, they would rather be here than in the trenches.
 Slim Elliot is in D Co, and is working near where was. Jimmy Bennett is about thirty miles from here. He is in c Co.
 There has been quite a bit of rain this fall and the mud was fierce. but it has turned cold and dried up. There has been little snow on the ground lately. It gets cold, for the air is damp.
 Expect to be running an engine as soon as I get out of the hospital, for there is a bunch of engines coming here and l am promised one.
 q have been studying French since landed here and can talk with the French a bit.
 "We get plenty of good, wholesom grub, but not many fancy trimmings. We get lots more than the British or French. You have to take off your hat to the French for the fight they have put up and the hardships and privations that they endured till the Americans entered the war.
 This is a beautiful country and there are some wonderful and inter- esting sights to see I would like to take in the whole country before go back to the states.
 This hospital is a large building that was a French hospital but was taken over by a hospital unit from Boston. There are sure some fine doc tors and nurses here. A fellow in here gets fine treatment and attention.
 ''I am doing lot of writing without saying very much, but we have to be careful what we write or the censor will cut it out.
 q would like to write to all the boys but paper is scarce and we don't get great deal of time to write when at work, for we put in a long day. But l guess that thls will do Tor all or you
 Well, boys, want to thank you again for your kindness. My heart was sure touched when I saw that the boys thought of me over here. And that you boys are well and prosperous is the earnest wish of Your sincere friend,

counter attack somewhere, it might
mean very serious developments for
the British troops who We're holding
this particular section of front rather
lightly.
"All doubt on this score was quickly
settled, for long gray line could
be seen leading from the north across
the bridge to the south bank of the
river, where mass of about 400 SOL
diers was gathered. Here indeed was
a target worthy Of notice
The leading pilot dived almost YER
tically, released his two bombs and
watched them burst in the river, miss
ing the bridge.
The second pilot now dived and in
five seconds the Germans saw his
second bomb strike the dead center

was the French who actually entered
Grandpre station but 1t was the AM

their capture of Marco and Chevierea
that made the occupation possible.
The Germans timed their retreat
from the Argonne with their customary
skill, showing but little of their last
