The safest Guide.

The much-praised optimist, although
to be admired, is not safe guide. He
tells us all 10 well, when It is not.
He fails to see the pitfalls and urges
us forward and we fall into them.
Likewise the pessimist, although
Stunned and berated, leads us to be
over cautious. Under his influence we
hopelessly' sit down for fear we will
fall into the pit, when there is none.
The cautious leader who watches,
waits<and withal is patient expecting
the world to move forward. is always
most trustworthy.

Letters From The
Boys at the Front

Latter from Lieutenant Maurice Cole
written to his mother, Mrs. Ida
Cole. Maurice is i'm the Field
Artillery Somewhere in France"
Dear Mother:
Another quick move, and not a
letter written since last Friday. Just
now the Army game is full of un-
expected trips. / wish / could tell
about all I've seen, as it is the most
war-like of any of my experiences so
far. If you knew the name of the
town / am overlooking right now
from the front of my pup tent, you
would be sure to recognize it. But
fo- fear / shall divulge news which
should not, I'll say no more about it.
My three nights sleep in the bed
in the fine home last week were some
treat. By the way, the doctor and |
never had an opportunity to explore
the subterranean passage. Since then
we have been sleeping where we could
find place. The first night we roll
ed into deserted" village at 1:30
A. M. We drove into a courtyard
and took possession of all the build
ings. The men slept in the straw in
the barn, and some of the officers,
those who slept at all, were upstairs
on the floor. We put our waterproofs
on some straw on the floor, and then
our blankets, so it was pretty nice.
The true northerner., 1918-08-30

ours now and will be for a good long
time.
Some of the articles / read while
in the States are to be seen most
everywhere now, it is common to see
where shell tore through the side of
roof of a building, and in some
places the structure is all down and
grass is springing up amongst the
ruins. Every where is such to be
seen.
/ was in a church some few days
ago that was once under shell fire of
the Huns, they sure had the range
all right. Half of the church tower
was blown away and shell had torn
through one side of the church and
the windows were broken. Inside the
church the pictures were on the wall,
just as when the people had left it
for good.
The weather is pretty good and the
sun is trying hard to shine, while
from a distance comes the sound Of
thunder but no rain, it is the report
of the "Big Boys" over yonder, and
it is almost all the time. While
every so often a shell goes flying
"over head" toward "Fritz" and as
every one goes screeching over / say
to myself "Go to it, get that D.
"Kaiser". For the sooner his meat
house goes down the sooner our
chances of once more returning to
Goods country" as we all call the
"Statcs", and it sure is the truth,
take it from me. / sure am very
glad that this is never to come to
our "Home and Country" l re-
ceived a letter from "Elva" and also
one from "Jimmie and Charles" about
a week or so ago. They were the
first from them l had received since
we left camp Lee last June. l sure
was pleased to hear from them once
more.
Oh say Dad, how would you like to
ride in a box car that rolled on four
wheels and one of them fiat, the side
door was loose and talk about music
when we were travelling along about
twenty-five miles an hour. Well, it
sure was a plenty. How about an
eighty or ninety mile ride? Are you
on? Or would you like to bunk
where the field mice are visitors
around your short ribs? ooh well,
such is the life, such is the life for
me-" After all would not miss this
for any money, that's the way l feel.
Well Dad, hardly know any more
to write as everything is war and
you read enough Of that in the daily
papers, so I guess I had better ring
off this time.
All | can say is keep on writing,
as / miss my mail coming every so
often, l will try and do the same in
return. Oh say, why don't the
"Northerner" come any more? |
have not received il since we left
Camp Lee and l miss it a great deal.
Well l had better ring off for this
time, / will write as soon as possible.
Say, if you write the "Girls" tell
them said ''hello" and also send "my
Best" as / don't know just how soon
| can write them.
/ send love, regards and best wish
es to one and all, and remain as ever
till | write again.
p. S. Don't lay awake nights
about me as | am all set
and expect to come back some day.
Your loving son Harry.
The true northerner., 1918-08-30

AS you know, our regiment held a
sector for some time. 1t was what
the French call a "bonne cesteur",
meaning that it was comparatively a
very quiet and inactive front. How
ever, we have had many experiences
and some exciting times, but little
fighting so far.
Before the recent German "offen-
sive" which proved so disastrous to
the Crown Princes Army, we were
pulled out of the line and sent to back
up another front that was threaten
ed. The attack fell down badly be-
fore the splendid French resistance
and never reached us, although we
expected it and were all set.
Two days before the attack COM
menced my captain had to take COM
mand of the battalion, temporarily,
and / had the command of the COM
pany thrust upon me. During this
time | have had to move the company
three times, on short notice. | am
still in command, but we have at last
reached a new sector and | expect to
be relieved shortly.
/ have not been up at the front
line yet. although l was personally
all along this part of the front some
months ago. However, our time will
come before long, but the front line
usually isn't much more than reserve
and support positions, except for the
irregular hours, especially when the
artillery is active.
The night before the attack, the
boche bombardment and the French
counter artillery opened up just be-
fore midnight. 1 brought my COM
pany up through the French battery
positions, to the position we were
to defend and, let me tell you, it
was the finest Fourth of July cele-
bration / ever attended; hundreds of
batteries flashing and pounding in
every direction as far as we could see
but Foch had outgeneraled them and
as the general commanding the
French army said, "It was a beauti-
full day for France"
/ really believe that the turning
point has been reached at last, let us
hope so, at least. None of us want
to fight, but we can if we have to.
You know more than / do of the
general war news and know it sooner
than | do.
| hope you are all well in Paw Paw
Wish / could be there to go fishing
and swimming with you-next sum-
mer perhaps. Give my regards to
all the folks.
