rather a spring broke, as 1 found out
later, and | was, therefore, at great
disadvantage 1t was hard to hold
the good gun steady enough. as both
are made to shoot together, but l shot
just as fast and near as | could while
the other American gunner in front
brought his gun into play. Then we
just covered them with bullets until
they decided we were a little too fast
for them, and they beat it for home.
l might say the bunch we were fight
ing was a bunch of Hun Aces, or part
of that famous Rickhofen Circus, the
most dangerous ones in the whole
front, and they were scrappers. We
only received thirteen balls through
but the best of it all is. our plane
was partly smashed in landing, and
now we have a new one.
Well, folks, It's late so must ring

Lieut.. A. 7. Grier,
Air Service Observer,
a. L. F., France.

Dr.. Walter Grier has received the
following letter from John Davis, a
Milford boy and son of Rev. Thomas
Davis:
France, July /, 1918.
Dear Doctor Walter:-
We are playing a little ball here
now, and | am often reminded of the
good old days of old when the Caulk
Club team was in its prime. There
are some boys here from Maryland
who have heard of the great games
between the Caulk Club and Dover.
We often review them together. So
far l have played three games here,
and have been unusually fortunate.
am now catcher for the battalion
team. We expect to play some games
in the largest cities of France.
Tell George that one can buy wine
here in every conceivable variety.
Some of it is undrinkable, so l am
told. For every grocery store there
are three cafes where one can buy
vim blanc and vim rOue to ones hearts
content.
The French people are instructive
ly courteous and very affable. / am
studying with a Pariesiene to obtain
working knowledge of the French
language. The French that I studied
at school comes in we'll. l can carry
on a conversation in French fairly
well. The Madamoselles are natur-
ally beautiful and very attractive in
manner. But give me the American
girl. The FRANCHISE file is too lavish
in bestOwing her attentions.
My experiences since leaving the
States seems almost like q dream, so
unreal and unnatural; and yet, after
seeing a part of the untold suffering
and misery through which warning
nation must pass, it ceases to be a
dream. and becomes a stern reality.
! wish / could tell you all I know
about some of the beautiful cities in
France have never seen any city
in the states so artistically beautiful
as Bordeaux. The paintings and the
sculpture are beyond description and
the girls have "spch forward ways. !"
French is hard to pronounce. A
would be linquist asked a boy to
bring him some beer. His accent
was little out Of the way, and the
boy brought back a roll Of counter
butter.
Best wishes to all, especially the
CaHlk Club.
Sincerely,
JOHN

LETTERS FROM OVERSEAS

Lieut.. Lex. T. Grier, who took his
training in Paris for the aviation SER
vice. and has been attached to the
LAFAYETTE Escadrille since that time,
has written the following letter to
his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Robert d.
Grier, of Salisbury. Nd, under date
OF August 8, 1918;
NV Own Dearest FOlks:-
Have been a little longer writing
than usual, but we are kept so busy
that there has been very little time;
also living in one place, eating at an
other and spending all our spare
time in the field or in the air is rather
trying.
We are now almost in sight of Par
is and are able to see it when we get
up in the air. But the comforts are
not as good as we generally have, but
owing to the Allies new successful
drive, we hope to be moving again
soon, as now we are farther from the
front than we should be. We have
been having some very successful and
exciting fights in the air, the same -
the trench boys a thousand or so
meters below us, and our battles are
over LIE same oEANQAf do oil AAAA0 AG-
cent fighting has been done. 1t sure
is a grand and glorious achievement,
(The Allies drive) as far as it goes,
and it just shows what we can do
when we get the chance, so you can
expect larger allied Offensives when
we have the needed men and equip
ment ready to do it properly.
Our little crowd Of five Americans
-. 70 hraa1r Tho Iva
of us have been together ever since
reached Garden City; i. e. all in the
same bunch of As. Later, after we
had been over here one month. it
drifted down to II, and now our five
have been together in the Escadrille
four months today, and on the front
all that time, and nobody killed or
hurt, while most of the crowd of II,
poor, brave comrades, have departed
from Life. Now Lieut.. Smith, the
senior officer of our five, has gone to
England, to take a Course as instruct
or, so we all feel very low in spirit.
We call him Dad Smith all the time,
and he was just like a dad to US, but
was a little too old to stand the avi-
alton game, and instructing was his
next best. They wanted all of us

leave our work at tie front for any
thing.
Had a most interesting aerial COM
bat last week. l was with a new
French pilot who had never been ov-
er the lines before, but he is a very
careful one. He is assigned to me
regularly now. Our machine was
very cid, considering some of the
others, so was very slow, as we'll as
a poor climber, consequently we were
unable to keep up with the other
planes, and if you get out Of forma-
tiOn, or away from the protection OF
the other planes the BOche will sure
jump you if they are anywhere near.
Well, four Of them jumped US from
the rear, two driving on US at once.
Our own machines we're a good dis
fance aawy, SO it was a fight of four
to one. l was in the rear with two
guns, and as soon as they started for
me, / let fire with both guns, at the
nearest one first, and then at the
other. The shots we're coming too
fast and close for the first one, so he
went down out Of range Of my gun
and back to his original place, ready

have 1t, but right in the middle of the
fight, one Of my guns jammed, or

agine how busy I've been for the past
10 days.
Left Base Hospital Is ten days ago

teams" Co. IL. 1t is made up three
Johns Hopkins doctors, Miss Kirk
and myself and two Orderlies. Be
sides getting the place fixed up and
equipped, we did 20 operations, all
living with the exception of one.
Some nights we are up all night.
Just as we are through one load and
start to bed, in comes another am
bulance. Some we evacuate, but the
most of them are fixed up here. We
are the nearest the front that any
nurses have ever been sent. Didn't
think I would ever fall in such luck.
Sure will have some thrilling stories
TO tell you when 1 get back. The
weather is perfect. Have worn my
wool jersey uniform until today, and
it was very warm in the middle of the
day, but tonight a blanket and wool
quilt will feel good. Don't see why
everything grows and looks so we'll.
This country is beautiful, and how
shall miss it all when it comes time
to go. But oh, how glad. The
French have much IN learn II, +bo;r
mode Of living.
Took a long and very interesting
walk with Lieut.. Gates last evening.
How l should wish to tell you all
about 1t, but don't wish to give the
censor the job of cutting it an out.
What wouldn't I give for my little
old low brown shoes, and my white
ones. Can't get thing in the shoe

Ellis Chamberlain, who is serving
with the 29th Engineers, Somewhere
in France, writes as follows to his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. J
o. Chamberlain:
July %, 1918.
My Dear Father and MOther:-
l suppose you have received my
card by this time telling of my safe
arrival here. l didn't bother to cable
you, as the card should have been re-
ceived before a cable. l have been
trying TO write you since getting here,
but it has been impossible. l have
been on the move three times since
my arrival, and it takes a few days
each time, so you can imagine how
much time l have had. l think l am
settled now for quite some time, but
very busy. We had a pleasant trip
over, as we had no excitement of any
kind. There wasn't a chance for a
sub if one had shown itself; Kaiser
Bill would have had another on his
missing list" It's Keep your head
down, Fritzie boy"
The ocean was as smooth as Silver
Lake, and it was pleasure to watch
our convoy maneuYer for the subs
out hunting.
Everything seems to be very much
American here now, and you feel as
camp in the states. Our troops are
so thick that there appears to be
nothing but them over here.
You need have no fear for my well
fare. l am as safe as l would be at
hnnnn / 70 - I,t,e
studying hard as the dickens.
| guess l had better explain my
landing first, though We landed at
one of the most natural and wonder
full harbOrs in the world An artist
could not paint one more beautiful. |
After leaving there we went to a rest
camp that was very interesting. II
have often wondered since leaving
there why they should name it a rest
camp; unless it is that you will re
member it the rest of your life. 1t
was prison camp in the days of /
Napolean, and was surrounded by
high stone walls The barracks had
iron bars at the windows. and we al
most felt like prisoners for awhile. (
but our stay there was very, verv
short II took us several davs 70
reach our next camp. The journey
was made by rail, and we had a
chance to see considerable of the
country. That camp was also very
interesting. We were near a city and
got in town when we had nothing
else to do. l saw several things of
with dates as early as a num- i
Der of years B. C. Roland Ingram
from Lewes was in that camp, but
was out working, so didn't get an op-
portunity to see him
My next and present camp is also
very interesting. l am in an old
French fort and about forty feet un-
derground. The quarters are very
good and we have plenty of eats. We
are few thousand, feet in altitude.
and the climate is very healthy. I
am feeling fine and getting fat. Our
company is no longer together, and
the fellows are scattered all over
