II Rue dAguesseau, Paris, France,
September 3, 1918.
Dear Bob.

how glad was 20 get them. Per-
haps you have known the loneliness
of being far away from home. |
thought had, but now | find that ]
was mistaken. God pity the fell
low that doesn't have a home and
friends that he wouldn't at times
give the world 10 see, and God pity
the fellow that is not man enough
TO forget himself and all that is
dear TO him and do his duty.
We have a big job over here. The
closer you get to it the bigger 1t
seems. Since | have been here |
have helped 10 carry more than
three thousand of or boys TO the
hospital. They are the bravest lads
you ever saw. | haven't yet heard
one complain or grunt the least. All
have a smile and are glad u have
had a part in the big fight. Just to
note their eagerness and earnestness
of purpose. very few, if any, have
fallen with their head from the foe.
They seem TO be reaching forward
as il TO gain a few more inches.
Just the same spirit with which
they used to play football. Very
few are seriously wounded. We
have Fritz on the run, and, we are
going to keep him going.
| have almost lost myself in the
events of the day and forgot for the
moment to thank you for the pic
lures. They are very dear TO me.
Before | left New York | had To
send back home all letters, pic
lures, and other such matter, so you
see have nothing to remind me OF
/ the pleasant faces | once knew and
| loved. Soldier boys like to get let
ters and pictures from home. II

carries them back home for the
time being. And when he returns
he is much better man for the
job he has before him. | have had
only two letters since | have been
here.

We had real reunion for two or
three days.
School will soon assemble. Give
all my friends my best regards and
wishes for successful school year.
Please remind them. though far
away. | shant forget them each
evening. can't say at bed time be-
cause we don't have that here. We
sleep when we can. Soon | shall

for a few months.
When you meet the Club at the

greetings and good wishes from over

The speaker said he could take the
negroes from the cotton fields and
teach them to drive rivets in a ship
in a single day and asked why the
hands that made chewing gum could
not be taught to drive riyets.
81 warn YOU here and now Mr.
Miller said, that if we don't drive

Washington, Feb. 23.-Food ad-
ministrators in states west of the
Mississippi have been given permis-
sion to lift during the spring mar
