is not an American soldier in France
who wants 10 come homo before the
job is fnished-untll the Huns have
been put out OF business. The spirit
OF the American soldiers Is splendid,
and all feel the war will be over soon.
You must remember that the great part
OF the American army has not gone
into the fighting as yet, and that only
a few divisions have been in."
Corporal Barker, who is an expert
gunner and one Of six men selected
out OF 1900 artillerymen to become in
structOrs in American cantOnments,
looks for some big developments by
