 Tt was very kind or you indeed 60 thinK of dropping me me as | am always glad to hear rom my IIends at nome, but hnd It rather dlnIcuit to spare the time to answer them at any great length, or even 10 write an interesting letter.
 You get all the news that is going on with greater details than We dU over here, although we are less than 100 miles of the tiercest battle that has ever taken place in the history or the world. From the house top in the midle of Paris, you can hear the roar of the cannon going all night, and for little diversion, during the day, the Boche keeps dropping some big shells on the city from that won dertul long range gun. For some days they came in regularly about every 70 minutes apart, and in order to be ready for the next explosion, all yod had to do was to look at your watch. but tor the past few days firing has been intermittent. It is 10:14 a. m. ana Fritz has just sent his morning salutation to the Parisians.
 Church Demolished
 "The greatest havoc that has been caused during the bombardment was the shell that dropped on Good Friday on a church, killing people that were commemorating the death and agony of our Lord. l visited the church on Sunday, and obtained a special per mission to enter it. It was an awful wreck in the interior, and the blood sCalned floor made one feel sad over the fate of these innocent people who were the victims of such wanton sav- agery as is being indulged in the war fare that has been carried on by the German nation.
 since the big push of the Germans started, they have been keeping our end of the Red Cross very busy get. ting out supplies for hospitals and refugees.
 Knights of Columbus Active
 !Mr. Kernan, representing the Knights of Columbus, has arrived here and is starting active work in the matter of furnishing huts and chap lains throughout the American army. We already have something like thirty or these huts established at various points, and from now, I hope that the K. O; C. work amongst the expedition ary forces will commence to snow some results.
 Our captain, Conway, has done lot for the boys at Meyers, where he hPs secured a hall and a French chap lain. On Easter Sunday l am told that over 1000 of the men went to holy communion.
 Tribute to French
 'I was told by a friend over the phone that it was a very inspiring sight to see our men going to the front. At one place where the men passed, it took them three days to go by. They are going straight to the battlefield, and I am sure that they will give good account of themselves. 1 think it is fine that fin this great stage of the war we are in a position to move in a number of men, so that will mingle on the battle field with our allies, especially the French, for whose valor, courage and qualities the world has never seen tine like. We Americans certainly owe a great deal to the armies of France for the sacrifices they have made and the wonderful courage and fighting qualities of their race in hold ing the German hordes for the past .our years.
 Give my regards 10 all my friends in Fl Paso. Both Mir. Douglas and are well. Today Jim is near the fire line somewhere near Soissons. You can also tell my friends that the Red Cross is paying dividends every day, because the work that they are doing is helping to win the war and that tue biggest kind of dividend for the American people is this"
