France.

Dear uncle and aunt:
guess you have begun to think
that there isn't such person al
Wiley, but there is and I'm in the
best of health. Still working my way
thru this war.
Well, uncle, sure have had some
excitement. Those damnable Huns
send those ten inchers over, and they
don't care where they hit. They have
another machine that plays a good
tune once in while, that is the ma
chine gun. They throw keys at you
but I have been lucky enough to
get One thru the rim OF my helmet
and clipping out of my right ear.
But while they were trying to get
me put one where he will be no
more trouble.
Your loving nephew,
WILEY CALLISTER,
U. S. Marines, A. e. F., France.
Somewhere in France.
Mrs Bertha Jensen,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
My Dear Sister:
Your welcome letter arrived today
and was very glad to hear from you
again. l wrote you a letter a short
time ago.
am getting along fine as usual
and hope to continue. Well guess
Joe Is home by this time. I didn't
think I would be in France and
and wounded when I said goodby to
him. l suppose he is glad to get
home.
You seemed somewhat surprised
because I did not tell you how bad
l was wounded at first. why should
/? The folks at home have enough
to worry about. The fact of the
matter is, wasn't expected to live
when I was first operated upon. The
doctor seemed quite surprised when
I came out of the ether, and felt
quite good. l was star case at the
field hospital and Base 8. They used
to bring the Generals and high Of
ficials around to see what a wonder
full piece of surgery had been thru.
OF course now that / am up and
around again it won't hurt to tell
you about 1t. The operation wound
in my stomach was eight or nine
inches.
There is little sunshine today
which makes one feel good. l don't
know how much longer l will be here
but will try and write soon.
Best regards to all, with love,
Your brother,
CYRUS YANCEY.

appointed military attache at the
American embassy at Toxic, Japan,
and accompanied Kuroki's army as
an observer on the Manchurian cam
paign in the Russo-Japanese war.
Before leaving Toxic in 1906 he was
decorated by the Japanese emperor.
In recognition Of Pershing's sup
preston of the Moro uprising in the
PHILIPPINES President Wilson pro-
noted him in 1906 from the grade
of captain to that of brigadier gen.
eral. In this elevation Pershing
jumped over the heads of 862 senior
officers who receded him on the
seniority list. Considerable dissat-
isfaction resulted from the promo
ton, but this i'll feeling gradually dis
appeared in view of the officers con-
tinued success.
In 1918 Pershing, upon his return
to the United States, took command
Of the Eighth cavalry brigrade, with
headquarters at the Preside in San
Francisco. T he general was sta
toned at Fort Bliss, Tex. in August,
1915 when the tragedy Of his life oc-
cured. His home in San Francisco
was destroyed by fire and his wife
and three daughters, aged 8, 6, and
8 years, persisted in the flames. His
only son, Warren Pershing, was
saved.
In March, 1916. Pershing was or
dered to lead the American punitive
EXPEDITION into Mexico to run down

on Columbus, N. M. While one col
umn started south from Columbus,
