Life in FTance What Soldier
 Makes H, Say District Boys
 NOIU SerUing m Front Lines

Life in France is just what a soldier makes it, and is good or bad, accord ing to the manner in which he ac- cepts the hardships of the war, ac- cording to letters received by George Poole, of Bisbee, from two former Warren district residents, now serv- ing their country in the front line trenches. The one letter is from Pri- vate w. H. Syme and the other from Private W. II. Mclean, both of whom are well known in this district.
 "T got home October 6, and they had me up for examination on Octob- CT S." says Syme in his sletter. 'I passed O. K, and left home for Camp Lewis on October F. Stayed there three weeks. and then on to Camp Mills, Long Island, N. Y. Went in the machine gun company there. and af- ter one months training we boarded a transport off for France It was sure some trip. We had Christmas dinner aboard the boat. have been very lucky, as I have been in the best of health all the time. I ate three times a day on the boat and kept them all down.
 ''We have had some fierce weather It was very cold at Long Island, and We have had two months of snow over here. Some weather for a native of California. The snow is all gone now and it is more like our winters in California.
 After leaving the boat We boarded box cars and rode for three days and four nights. We were billited here at first, but are in tents now. I wish could tell you where I am and what am doing but I can't. l can't say that I like this country. It may be alright, but everything is so different; l think they are about one hundred years behind the times. These towns remind me of Bisbee, that is, in the way they are laid out-little narrow winding streets and sidewalks, but the buildings are nothing like any thing in the states. They are all stone with tile roofs, and very old. The church here in this town is over 200 years old. We have Sundays off, and we generally go sightseeing.
 "This life is just what you make it, and you can get by if you are in good health"
 Mclean assures residents of the Warren district that the men of the United States will give a good account of themselves with the Germans. He states: George. Old Boy, I remem- Der the argument I had with Dannie Mills very well, and any old time he thinks we cant whip old kaiser Bill and his whole tribe he has another think coming to him. Any old time that the Tommies or Sammies get at those damed Fritzes, they will know about it, and will realize that some thing has hit them hard. We are in the best of spirits and never worry
Bisbee daily review., 1918-05-05

about the final outcome of this war. Any time the combined forces of the allies make a break, you will hear all about it in the Bisbee Review"
 Mclean refers to strike reports which he has heard all the way across the Atlantic. and to conditions in the Warren district. He refers also to the affairs of last summer.
 q heard of the strike talk you have been having out there" he says, and l guess Germans and other Hun agents of the Teuton tribe were the fOrerunners of it all. I'm sure glad they were put out, but they didn't de serve the privilege of box cars when they left last summer. They should have made them hit the ties for strik- ing at a time when the country was in dire need of all the copper it could get"
 Both former Bisbee residents sent their best regards to their friends of this district, and assured them they will write as often as they have time and as long as they are in condition to wield a pen.

 Start Away SilentIy
 A siren began its uncanny wailing somewhere outside, and a silence fell over the hall. It was the call to arms" One by one twenty-four men separated themselves from their com rades and stole quietly from the room. They said nothing; nothing was said to them; but scores of friendly, anX- ious eyes looked "bOnne chance" We followed shortly, for we had come to see the getaway" and the return.
 It was dark. A pale crescent moon struggled bravely but ineffectively to clear away the gloom below. Strange, shadowy figures were fitting noise lessly about the grounds, and against the skyline could be seen the blOts which represented the great machines that stood waiting for their pilots and observers. Off toward the east the sky quivered and glowed fitfully with the crimson flashes from a myriad of guns. while the shrapnel hurled vicious flashes all along the line. It was toward these ominous beacOns that the flight was goins.
 There was no delay. Time was valuable for there were signs that mists might come at any time. With in five minutes the throbbing of a powerful engine began, machine gun baIked as the observer tested the weapon, and then the plane glided swiftly away across the field and swept into the air, it's little signal lights gleaming like stars. Another followed, and another, until the F had all embarked on their perilous voyage whose ending no one could pro phesy.
 Gradually the blinking eyes of the planes disappeared, and we stood and counted the minutes as we strained

 gave a final gasp and died. ] All the probabilities were that they would crash and be smashed to pieces. | There was only one thing which could possibly prevent it, and that was an iron nerve in the pilots box. He cool | ly started to coast westwards. On he came until his signar lights shoTed clearly to the watchers in the aero drome. t was like the flight of a phantom machine. with its soundless engine. The pilot got near the aero drorle and then hesitated. He was lost and was coming down rapidly He signaled wildly and a score of an swerins lights flashed back. He swerv- ed and came sweeping down into the aerodrOme. saved by a few yards.
 The men were all back and we went
 to the commanders office to hear them give their reports. They en- tered in twos and thTees. their hel- nets pushed back. but still wearing tEeir bulky garments that made them look like Arctic explorers, or ted dybears." But what a change in their demeanor They were no longer the laughing, testing crowd of two hours before. They were pale and hagSard and their eyes were strained and bril- liant No need for thm to say what they had been through. Their faces told the story.
 One by one they told briefly what they had done. They had, or they had not. reached their objective. The Hun hate? Very bad, indeed. but not a subject for discussion. Their re- ports were taken and they moved quie,ly away. They wanted to be alone.
 The BOstonian paused for a mo ment by the Associated Press corre- spondent. The big youth still wore a smile. but he was subdued. The chauffeur" had had hard trip that night. He pulled out his pipe and filled it reflectively.
 This business of bombing is all habit" he remarked philosophically, as he crammed the tobacco down. The British army has a habit of sending us out. and we have q habit Of going and bombing the Hun. All habit, just like smoking though per haps not quite so pleasant
 We shook hands and he went away to his billet. his great frame com pletely filling the office door as he stepped out.

cur eyes toward the battle lines where | the flights would cross. Suddenly a stream of balls of fire began to mount | high into the air over the trenches. The airmen had reached the land of hate. and their punishment began in earnest.
 The deluge continued, and the shrap- nel flashed in ever increasing num- i bers. German searchlights went peer l ing through the clouds, and we learned later that one ray rested squareiy on British plane. It was a heartbreab- ing moment for the pilot and observer. Their chances were small, but the light moved on and upward and the plane was again enveloped in dark ness.
 One Plane Returns
 All the planes but one were across the line at last. The one machine ctme wheeling back, flashing its per sonal signal as it felt its way toward home. A signal from the ground an swered and the plane circled slowly down and came bobbing across the field. Engine trouble had forced a return, but there had been no acci- dent.
 It neared the hour for the other planes to be coming back. The squad ron commander was pacing up and down the field like caged tiger. His nerves were strained almost to the breaking point, and he made no effort to conceal it. His boys, the lads whom he loved like a brother, were out there over the boche guns. He himself had spent many bitter days and nights in a fighting plane, and he knew the hell the flight was going through at the moment. And so he stamped about unhappily, with lis peering eyes ever on the eastern hOri- zen, watching for the twin stars which would herald the return of at least one of the wanderers.
 Finally a set of lights appeared and swung swiftly towards the west. Dash, dot. dash, dash" went the code.
 Its Brown and Little" sighed the Commander, and he was off post haste towards the landing place. The ma chine circied and perched.
 That you, BrOwn?' the commander demanded anXiously. Everything all right?"
 He dldn ask Whetnef they Ldu reached their objective, or whether they had dropped their bombs. Were his boys all right?
 Brown and Little, are all right, sir" came the reply.
 Ten times more the same thing happened, the planes sometimes ar irving in groups One pilot and his observer were still out. We waited long time and they did not appear. The commander took himself off 10 be alone. and the other officers whispered quietly among themselves. There was tragedy in the air. Two of the finest men in the service were still upac- counted for.
 Take Desperate Chance
 Meantime this pilot and observer were struggling to win a hundred-to- one chance against them with death as the penalty for failure. Out over the German lines their engine went dead while they were at height of perhaps four thousand feet. They dropped a thousand feet and then the
