est news could not have done SO II seemed to be God appointed day and nature did her very best to make that day beautiful.
 It had been prearraneed to run the flags of France and the |. s. to the top of q wireless tower that can be seen from all parts of the town, and when these flags appeared the people acted stunned. they would look at the flags then look again to be sure that there was no mistake. For more than an hour there was hardly a sound, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry, they couldn't realize that after more than four years of hardshlpS and suffering that the end was really here. Then some one ptit out flag and some one else shouted 'Vye Ia France" whistle blew. bells began to ring and cannons to fire. Flags appeared like magic and within another hour the city was covered with them and the streets were full of dancing, shouting people. As the day went on it got worse and by night fall the city was one big joy mad crowd. It was almost danger ous for an American to go on the street, We would be beat in the back. hagged and kissed have flowers thrown at us and the girls would join hands and dance around us singing the national airs of France and Amer lea. Every musical instrument that could make a sound was called into play, pianos that had been silent for four years were uncovered and had the dust wiped from their keys to the strain of Marsellaise. It was a wonderful day and q wonderful night, II live to be thousand I'll never forget the scenes that I witnessed. of a noble people freed from war IL Was well worth all the sacrifices that have made and in the words of Webster q believe1 T thank God that 1 am anAmerican,
 And now l want to 20 home. Of course l realize that 1 can't start at oHee but l cant be ordered back too seen. l came to stay until the war #as ended and would have stayed if the war had lasted five years but aoW that it's finished l am anxious to 70 back and am going Ut the first op- peftanity, so you needn't be sur prlzed if l am back before spring also you needn't be surpfized fl l am not. We have lots of work to do yet and l nm willing to stay Us long IS my work is necessary, but l hope that it won't be necessary for very long.

 Dear Parents:- At last after many months of waiting the end of the last big war that the world will ever know is in sight-m fact is already here. The fighting is over and now there ely remains the wait for the final I ace terms to be signed and then the curtain will bc forever ring down uI Germany as world power.

stuck here until January, at least. although some rumors are that some of us will go to the states before then while others will remain in this coun- try. I'm hoping I'll be one of the lucky ones to get to return, since the war is now over. It may be that some of Us will be sent to the German and and Austrian border, but l don't think HI be one of them if it can be avoided
 The weather is rather cold now, with very high wind, so that we are doing little flying In fact no one is flying more than necessary. Will save my stories until get home. Had thriller" some time ago when the wind carried machine gun and my self clear out of the cock pit while up about 1900 feet. l hung on by my toes" and got back in, but the gun hed riddled the tail of the plane, shot off one elevator wire, necesstating q 'side-slip" into the field. Such an
  occurrence makes one somewhat ner- veus and I'm not hardly settled yet. The plane was the Liberty, and be- lieve me it is the plane.
 Second Letter
 Following are extracts from a let ter dated November f9.
 l received your letter to-day writ ten October 20, and was more than glad to get it. Am not getting the paper at all, but guess l can look them over when l get back From present new. we're going to get back" be- fore long We are all wondering wat they are going to do with us, but no one seems to know-but guess 1t #ill all come around in due time.
 Haven't heard q word from Fay. bat suppose he'll get letter to me in few days Am not SD positive h. Is at Brest, except that leuten- ant from the l06th told me they were u ere. The mail service is very bad oNtt Htiit SO IL Hld1 Jdht another week before l hear from him
 Suppose Raymond will be mustered oat and back home before long he has n5t finished his training Don't know N neither Fay will beat me back or not. If they send us back IS 4causuals' nay get back before he does, but if trey attach us to a squadron he should bat me back.
 Have had a very busy day today aad am tired tonight Went up a9out 750o feet on long mission to- d4F handling machine guns, and We e5t up above the clouds It was m.stine rain below, but after we got a5ave the clouds the sun was shining hfiehtly We had to stay up quite l time before we found hole to dive through.
