OAKLAND SOLDIER
ARRIVED IN FRANCE
Robert Helbig, in Letter to His
Mother. Tells of Trip.

Mother. Tells of Trip.
Private Robert Helbig, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Helbig, of Oakland.
has written letter from France to his
mother in Oakland, which we are per-
mitted.to publish herewith:
.... ..- FRANCE, April %, 1918.
DEAR MoTHER;-Well. we are here
at last, and this certainly is wonderful
country. We are not allowed to write
very much on account of the censorship
and it is hard to tell when you will get
this letter. Don't expect to hear from
me very often. but want to tell you
not to worry the least, because where
we are now we are just as safe, if not
safer, than we would be at home.
We had wonderful trip over and
then we had a fine trip since we arrived
in France on the train, not very COM
Portable riding but just the same we
enjoyed the trip.
- Wish you could see this country. 1t
certainly is beautiful and the people
are so good to US. They just think the
Americans are the greasest people in
the world. Our camp is located in a
big field close to river and we are close
to little village. The little kids are
here all the time-such cute little child
rem. At meal time they stand around
and if you give them something to eat
they appreciate it more than our kids
would dollar at home. Those poor
little kids get less to eat IN a week
than they do at home in day. There
is one little fellow Ethat looks just like
John.
Everything is green here, but we
haye frost about every morning but. it
doesn't seem to hurt the gardens Bit
certainly am glad to be here and to
be able to do my bit for the U. S. and
France. Sometime | will write more
about the place, but we are not allowed
to write so many things so there is very
little to say. The main thing is l am
we'll and we are getting good food and
can buy cigarettes and tobacco much
cheaper here than we could at home
just about half what it costs US at
home.
Now don't worry about me if you
don't here from me often. | will be
alright. Hope you are all well. Be
sure to write often and send papers
Regards to all my friends.
Love to all,
BOB.

line of the Illinois Central to the Ce-

while in the city was viewed by nu-
merous interested spectators. The
canon bore unmistakable marks Of
battles, in fact were SO badly wrecked
that they are beyond repair. The
wheels were shattered by canon balls
and the steel shield which protects the
gunners from rifle bullets were shat

is reasonable to suppose that the Huns
who sought protection behind the
sheets of steel went west"
The canon are said to have been

They were taken to Cedar Rapids
