w. G. Bouic, Hot Springs attorney,
who recently went across seas, has
written the Sentinel Record some
thing of his Impressions, and while
censorship prohibits his descriptive
as he would give it, yet there Is
enough contained in the following to
lei all know that he Is mighty proud
of America of the American forces,
and OF the fact that he Is with them
| in the great undertaking. Here is
his letter:

Information OF His Departure.


No news mad been received yes
terday OF the destination of Harry
Burnell, .Ir., the l3-year old hoy, who
left here Sunday in a Ford and had
not been heard from. The parents
believe that other boys accompanied
him, and would like any information
leading to where he is located. The
two young men believed to have lett
with Harry Burnell were perhaps a
little older, hut no descriptions Of
them have been available The fact
that another boy near Little Rock on
the Hot Springs road was missing
since Monday morning leads to the
conclusion that he might have joined
the youthful party.

later and then wanted to go 10 town to
purchase some articles. particularly
tobacco. which we missed most. NO
body was allowed to leave CAMP We
were told that entering the city was
strictly forbidden. Gibbons had paid
a war contribution and therefore no
one was permitted in the city.
We heard the dull sounds OF the
cannon IN the distance and suspected
that our rest would he brief. The

enmity toward the people living in the
towns along our line of march was
maintained The Germans p, acticed
the theory that the soldiers fight bet
ter and are more amenable to dis
cipline when filed with hatred of their
enemies.
The next day we were obliged to
march to Chalons-sur-M Marine. This
was one of the hardest days we ever
had From the very beginning, as we
began our journey. the sun blazed
down upon us. It is about 80 kilome-
tiers from Suippes to Chalons-sur-
Marine. This distance would not have
been so bad, despite the heat; we had
already made longer marches; but the
beautiful road from Suippes to Chal-
ons goes with amending monotOny with
out so much as a curve or bend to
the right or left AS far as we could
see ii stretched before us like long
white snake.
Many soldiers tainted or were strick-

m by the intirnlary coiaanns which fol-
lowed. That the troops who had trav.
ersed this road before US had Jared
worse was evident from the many dead
Germans who lay along the road. The
commander feared that he could not
get the machine in motion again II il

its weary limbs on the ground for 9
