Mr.. and Mrs. John Kier have re-

Somewhere in France, July 81, 1918.
Dear Mother and All:
Just few lines this morning to let
you know | am we'll and getting
enough to eat. This is the first letter
[ have written to anyone since ten
days ago. l have been on the go day
and night for the last week. You know
that trip l told you [ was going to
make with my motorcycle. Well,
just finished it yesterday. l made $50
miles. 1t took me four days. All the
trouble I had was that l had three
punctures and broke one leaf in my
front spring. The roads were fine for
about 800 miles, but the last $50 miles
were something awful. All full of
shell holes. | was in towns that the
Germans were in about two weeks
ago. They sure do all the damage that
they can possibly do. I thought
knew what war was when | was over
on Alsace front, but I guess | didn't.

remember when the Germans captured
the town by the name of Veaux? Well

Firing Big Guns

Chauncey Hitchcock writes from
Fort Stevens, Oregon, to relatives at
Reedsburg as follows:
There are 225 men in one battery,
and all together. There are twenty
three squads in a battery. 1t makes
quite a city of tents. The big guns
are all we practised on when we came
out here. 1t is great the way they ham
die those big guns. 1t takes twenty to
load them. Then there are eight that
work in the plotting room. There were
four companys fired one day, SO we
had quite a celebration. The shells
these guns use weigh six hundred
pounds. The suction was SO great be-
hind the gun that it drew the blossoms
off the bushes. When it is fired the
gun raises up. The fellow that sights
the gun fires it. We could see the tar
get out on the ocean ten miles away.
1t was pulled by another big boat. We
could hear the shell for about ten Sec
onds. 1t certainly made the water fly
some. We had cotton in our ears.
They have shipped three Of the ten
inch guns from here.

Sees German Inhumanity

Sergeant Clarence r. Bohn has writ
ten Reedsburg relatives as follows:
At last am able to write after a lot
of hard work and the real thing as far
as hospitals go. We were behind a
we'll known American division in the
big German push along the 60-mile
front. We heard the guns start up
about midnight and even though we
were back Is miles the b,arrage was
so heavy that l could not sleep. 1t
kept it up all that night and the next
day. The sky was red for miles and
seemed to be on all sides of us. The
wounded commenced to come to us
and we were kept busy day and night
for week. 1t was wonderful the way
the French and Americans held, for it
was the most terrible drive the Ger
mans have made this year. 1t was
goodbye to many of the German re-
serve divisions. Then, now as you
will have noticed, the French and
Americans have pushed back the Cha
teau Thierry wedge and before you
get this the lines will be where they

SEVERAL CHANGES
ON RURAL ROUTES
(Reedsburg Free Press.)

The pOst-Office inspector has been
busy re-districting the rural routes of
this county in order to make them
more compact and better for the car
riers. This will make the greatest
change in the southwestern part of
the county, where they have only a
tri-weekly delivery and will now get
daily mail delivery. The old stage
route from here to White Mound,
which was established way back in
'68, will be discontinued and the
Reedsburg stage will only go as far as
Loganville The Baraboo-to-Kilbourn
stage, another Of the old-time stage
routes, will be discontinued. These
have gone through all the stages Of
stage evolution from the numbering
coach to the modern automobile.
About 200 patrons from this office
will be affected by the changes, but
most of the difference will be changes
from Que route carrier to another, and
all parties affected from this office
will receive notice of the change. Del
ton loses its route, which will be re-
placed by an extra route from Bara-
boo, while a few will be transferred
to Ableman, Libe Ridge and La Vale,
and Reedsburg takes some from them.
The routes from Reedsburg cover a
distance from IrontOn to Fern Dell
east and west. and everything will be
running as smoothly as ever in a day
or two On account of the first Mon
day in September being Labor Day,
the first effect of the change will
take place on Tuesday, September 3.

All Germans Help

Wayne w. Bissel, Lodi, has written
a Milwaukee publication, saying in
part:
To be sure, Prussian High Com
mand has dictated the sinkings Of un-
protected merchants shipping-it has
even dictated the sinking of hospital
ships. 1t has dictated the casing Of
soldiers and it has invented and di-
rected the burning of human beings
(soldiers) by liquid fire. Prussian-
ism has dictated the shelling of open
towns and the bombing of little
hamlets by night-it has sent the
deadly gas into the little villages back
of the lines where little babies wear
gas masks. Prussianism is reponsible
for all these and many other brutal,
cruel institutions of modern, enlight-
ened warfare. The German people
have not invented these things-we
think-but the German people are
back of the war and all the men of
Germanw are in the war. If man is
not throwing liquid fire at the front
it may be because he is dead, but his
wife is home making it for another
German to throw If Heine is not
dropping bombs among the little
children of Paris or London he is
shooting gas shells on the little ham
lets back of the lines and his wife and
sister and daughter are back in Ger
many making the gas for him to throw
or the bombs for him to drop-all Ger
many and all the German people are
contributing to the brutal killing Of
humanity in one manner or another
and the more brutal the instrument,
the more efficient is the contribution.
The German people are carrying on
and supporting the war in every man
ner possible and they keep on support
ing it because they are pleased with
the advance of German armies with
the instruments Of brutality which
they are so efficiently contributing.

Annie is getting on famously with
Gunkel. Yesterday when noon came
she poked her long trunk out ap-

because it was time for hay, nor
would she stop.
"Shake hands and I'll give you
some"
High at once came up a ponder
cut right forefoot, which Gunkel
took and made vain attempt to shake:
