about 5 a. m. and the barrage our ar tillery put over started at 1 a. m. We had according to Secy. Bakers assertion, 2000 cannon firing this morning. was in the trenches when it started and how those shells did sing over our heads. Every time the guns would flash you could see the tanks creeping by and when we did start over the Germans certainly did throw up the prettiest fire works l ever saw in my life. They threw up rockets that lighted the country ever so far and in the meantime we were going after them, with the aid of the barrage and the aeroplanes. The aero planes did wonderful work, you could see them flying over us and giving orders to our artillery and scouting, But to see the mountain that we were shelling, it looked like volcano, it was enveloped in cloud of smoke and at the bottom in the valley the ma chine guns were playing away at each other. You could see just line of smoke following trenches. The Hun would not fight and they gave up so easily and happily. The dugouts or homes of the Huns are something wonderful. In the woods they were fixed up for life. Just think of a home in the ground, all lit up with electric lights, some with pianos, bowl ing alleys, and they had chickens and pigs, vegetables gardens. Never saw the like of it and their equipment is the best made. It seems that every thing they had was first class.
 There is a great deal of wine and beer in this country, women doing the selling of the refreshments. One thing remarkable about the country the horses, pigs, cows and chickens all live in the same house with the peo- ple. Old women do mems work, har- vesting and herding the, stock.
 Haven't been to Paris but hope to go before I go home."

TELLS OF GOING
 OVER THE TOP

Another interesting letter from one of our boys in the Army of Occupa- tion, was received from Dan Angius, formerly with the Arizona Stores Co.,, in Oatman. The letter is dated Nov ember 26.
 q have been over in France for 2 months, of course fighting the Hun. Some life and I would not sell my ex- periences for anything, and now that it is over l am more than happy as we'll as the other boys-I expected to be home for Christmas but the divi- sion 89 that am in is part of the army of occupation in Germany so I am to stay behind. This is some coun- try, but give me the U. s. A. all the time. 1 will give you few lines on my war work. My first duty after getting over here was to go into the front line trenches, where the drive of Sept. 12 started, in which I took part and it was my first time over the top. This trench life is great, during the time was in the trenches it rained all the time and the mud was up to your knees. We had to stand guard from 8:30 to 5 a. m. in the cold, mud and water up to your knees. Of course the most strenuous part was keeping an eye on "Jerry". Talk about rats-they are as large as cats, steal our hard tack or anything else they can get hold of, and at tim es when we are asleep they run across our face. The only interesting time I have had in the trenches was one morning after coming in from "No Mans Land" on patrol, was on guard at the entrance of a wood, about a. m. MT. Hun opened fire on us and for 45 minutes the shells came over us, in front of us, hit all along the trenches just like an Ari- zona hail storm, but as usual, "Jerry" did no harm. The morning I went over the top in the drive of Sept. 12, was certainly wonderful. We started

WALES AT NIGHT
 SEEMS IRON HELL

The first night spent by a visitor in South Wales, in the center of the great iron country, is marked by a wonderful impression.
 In the daytime the iron works seem only an ugly cluster of tall chimneys and uneven roofs seen through gray smoke. More insistent are the shrill voices of ragged children and the hud- ding cottages of the workmen, at whose doors stand careworn women with anxious ears. And the dim noun tains, sometimes half hidden by sweep ing rainstorms and sometimes clear greenish color, every lonely tree on their bare sides silhouetted in darker hue, force themselves upon the eye with the tragedy of their impotence against the defiling hand of man. When one stands right beneath the tips they stand out against the sky like monstrous caricatures of Swiss peaks. There is somehing about this place desolate and infinitely depress- ing.
 But at night when all is dark the sky is suddenly lit with a red glare. From the window the stranger sees a ruddy light touching the billowing clouds and glimmering away to black ress between them. He sees roofs and chimneys standing out in startling solidity against the flaming back ground; the furnaces are opened, and it is as though the lid of hell were lifted. Then on top of one of the tips, but appearing as though isolated in the sky, comes stream of brilliant gold rolling down the side of the in- visible wall in molten fire.
