FIGHTERS
FULLOF VIGOR
Douglas Beidel Declares U. S.
Soldiers Do Not Fear
Bullets

The vigor and spirit which Ameri-
can soldiers possess when going into
the front line trenches in France is
described by Douglas Beidel, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Beidel. who is
driving an ambulance in France.
iouong Beidel tells of Hun brutality
in shelling a base hospital and the
wonderful work which the Y. NJ. C. 4.
and Red Cross are doing. The letter
written on June IL follows in part:
Dear Mother and All:-Have just
finished with my laundry and will
write while it is drying. Received the
flags which you sent and will have
them on my ambulance. After a while
! shall return them to you as souve-
Mrs. Don't be surprised if 1 tell.you
they have been in Germany before l
return them. We're going to get
there-just a matter of time.
Hun Losses Heavy
Il know things look rather blue to
YOU people. but to us they look
rather sunny. Germany by force of
numbers may gain a little ground.
but she is paying the price which is
going to be shown shortly. OF course
this war can't end too quickly for me.
but rather than have a German dicta-
ton as to the terms of peace | am
willing to stick to the finish.
To-day I saw a number of our
troops. 1t was not far behind the
lines-they were going in. I was inn
pressed by the vigor and spirit
which was manifest. AS they were
passing a few shells came close to
hand-I suppose IL was the first they
had ever heard in actual warfare. but
instead of shying. the sheels instilled
more pep" into them. and l feel sure
that they will show up very well.
I am so glad TO hear of the way in
which you people "over there" have
gone over the top" in all of your
loans. That confidence of knowing
that we have a united country back
of us certainly lightens the loads we
have TO carry and strengthens ones
courage. helping him to carry on"
The Y. NJ. C. A. and Red Cross are
doing wonderful work.
The ambulance men on this side
are publishing a paper The Radia-
tor" every week. I will send you a
copy once in a while. Have not been
worked very hard for the past
month. but expect to reach a warmer
climate soon. The Huns shelled the
hospital to which we were taking our
wounded making it necessary for us
to evacuate the position. There is no
end to Hun barbarity. Some say that
We are lighting the German Govern
ment and not the people. Tell them
10 consult me-

tell you the ability of every

veritable encyclopedia of stats.
