DEAR BARNEY: Well l got me a new
gas mast now and after that turrible
experience l had the other night
when l kept one of them things
on for five hours strate and got
lost and everything CUES l know more
about how to ware a mast that anybody
else in the whole draft army does. And
that certainly is taking in lot of ground
because the draft army is about to show
up some of these birds over here and learn
EN- what a real army looks like.
l don't know just where we are going
yet but we certainly are going to move
some place soon according to all the in
locations. A lot of the boys say we are
going down to Italy and then l heard
some say that We was going to help Rus
STA and yesterday Steve Gardner said he
was told by an orderly who worked up
at Headquarters and is awful close to all
the news that there was a good chanse
of us going to the Filipenes. Able Ern-
stein said tho that he heard that they was
going to send this division to Palestine
and take over Jeresulem.
Most of us soldiers don't see why they
waited this long becaus we are certainly
SPLENDID specimens of fiscal mailhood
and are ready to jump in and run these
hunns to death. They have been getting
by with lot of stuff lately but of corse
they have not run up against the real army
yet and when they let US in you will
hear bello go up from Berling that they
can hear clean to Washington.
They is about millun American
troops over here alredy 1 cues but of
corse some of them is not very good fight
ers like the N. G. and some of the regu-
lirs but they will have to do until we can
get the rest Of the draft army over. Now
when they is about one millun and have
of MS draft men here, who are the pick
Of the country and have got branes and

DEAR MANA: Well Mama l guess you
will be PLAID to hear that have just been
handed a big boost and about the incest
little promotion that can come anybodys
way Instead of being just an ordinary
private soldier now have been chose by
my Majur as one of his private Runners.
Now a battilun Runner like am now
is kind Of on the Majurs staff and he has
to always be around where the Majur is
and when there is any confidential mes
siges to be took from the Majur up to the
Generil or something like that then he
calls me and tells me to go to the Generil
and present my compliments, and then /
give him the messige.
OF corse you understand Mama that
they couldn't use nobody on a job like
this who did not have lots of branes and
was not to be trusted becaus the whole
fat of the army might rest on me some
day and if didn't carry them messages up
we might loose the war and be disgraeed
forever.
But CUES there amt no danger of me
falling down on the job Mama beeaus I
know what my responsibilities are and if
l make good on this job l will get 70
know all the Curnels and Generils and
everybody like that and it wont be very
long until they will want some relible
right hand man and then right away they
will think of me and then they will make
me Captain or some big job and then
everything will certainly be fine for me.
Trust your little Bonnie to get along
anywheres Mama.
Well l have got lots of work to do
and 1 got to get ready to carry some
messages so 1 will have to quit.
With lots of love, Your

TEAR GERTIE: Well Gertie old
II pal what do you suppose hap
pened to-day. Well 1 got three letters
from you all at once at the same time and
l CUES maybe 1 did not let out yell
when they handed them to me.
/ knew all along that you was writing
me Gertie and what l wrote you about
not sending me no word or nothing it
was Just said in a kidding vane. Of
corse you and got perfect understand
ing, eh Gertie, and little thing like let
tiers or coming to Franse or nothing like
that cannot infuense it at all, eh Gertie.
And Gertie all that stuff l wrote you
about the girls over here in Franse being
the real McCoys was just kid stuff and /
know you caught it Gertie. Say old pal
if you could see these danes trotting
around over here with there wood shoes
on, tending to the cows and playing nurse
made to the pigs you or none Of the
other girls of America would never have
to spend no time worrying about boys
over here in Franse When they don't even
ware lether shoes then you can count most
of us soldiers out the first round, Gertie,
and know that we was just kidding you
when we wrote how wonderful French
wimmin was.
CUES the males must be all balled up
these days Gertie because the last of the
three letters / got from you was kind of
short and said that you had not received
any word from me yet at all. Well CUES
by this time you have got a cople of doz.
letters that / have wrote to you since l
come over here and l CUES you will feel
sorry enough about what you wrote with
out me rubbing it in any more. So I will
just say by by and get 10 work. By by.

about me being promoted to a Batlllun
runner and being right with the Majur
all the time and helping to run the show.
Everybody from the Generil down knows
me now and before long it would be all
right for me to call them by their first
names only of eorse I would not do that
for long time yet.
It certainly is fine 10 be with high of
fcurs all the time, beeaus you know Gertie
We got some privates that fello like me
has hard time to trete as his equils. Of
eorse don't mals any dstinetuns when l
am with my officuA
1 must quit now and go see if the Majur
wants to talk with me about anything,
Gertie.

in none of these fansy Jobs ever again.
l Just want to be a plane solder and
ether get sent back home or get killed and
have it over with. / am tired and sick
being doble-erost all the time.
l CUES I wrote you the other day about
our manovers. Well we had big imita-
tun open air fight and we was run all over
the country like bunch of cattle for some
Generils just to play little game and
have some fun with. Then when they get
all done they get together and one Generil
tells the other that he loses. Say, the
only birds that lose in this hanover busi-
ness is the poor boob soldiers who are
prancing around the landscape with 20
pounds of government junk tied on their
backs. Them is the guys that lose.
Well right in the midst of this hanover
yesterday my Majur who rides around
on a horse all day like duke or some
thing like that and ought to be carrying
his own messages called me over to him
and wrote something down on a peace Of
paper.
Runner" he said, "take this message
to the eurnel just as soon as you can. His
headquarters is about two miles through
those woods right strate to the right there.
This is very important because we are
going to lose a lot of troops here in q
minute if You don't get that thru Ok"
So ] saluted and took the paper and
stuck it in my pocket and started out like
was going to run all them two miles
thru that woods at the rate of about
hundred yards IN nine secunds. Well /
only done that clip until I got to the edge
of the woods and then 1 went in a little
ways and being all tired out sat down
and took out the messige and read it. Then
put = back in my pocket and rested up
awhile and then / started on thru this
heavy woods.
Well of corse after ! got in there I
couldn't see much of nothing but trees and
kind Of got turned around and l had
awful time getting my directions strate. I
CUES it must have took ME a couple Of
hours before I got out of the woods and
found the Curneps Headquarters and
went up to his tent.
saluted so hard that I just about
snapped my hand off and then I told him
that had messige from the Majur. ]
could see that things was going pretty
hard with him becaus he certainly looked
kind of sore.
Il been expecting that for long time"
he said. "Let me have it."
Well reched in my pocket where had
put that peace Of paper and felt all
around and 1 couldn't find it. Then I
looked in my other pockets and it wasn't
there.
II got lost in them woods over Their Cur
nell" I said, "and 1 CUES that messige
musta fell out of my pocket while 1 was
trying to find my way out"
Well the eensur wont let me write down
what the Curnel said, but it certainly was
a lot of hot stuff.
beg your pardon, sir" l said then,
"but / read the messige for fear some

On THE MARCH
BARNEY, OLD PAL: Well Barney / am
writing this letter to you by the side of
road in Franse and right this minute we
are almost Is miles from our regular
bilets. We hiked out here today and to-
morrow we are going to have our big man
overs and then the next day we will march
back to our bilets. Then after that we are
going up to actun CUES.
Well this certainly was some march
Barney and if you do not believe it is
any job to hike Is miles carrying all the
stuff soldier has to pack all you got to
do is just to start out some morning from
the Bronx with a piano and kitchen
stove tied on to your back and then hit
the dust down to the Battery. After you
do that you will know what soldering is
in Franse.
We all got to carry about 20 pounds
of stuff and the boys that handle the
French autOmatick rife, Che Sushaw or
something like that, carry almost 100
pounds apecs and that is some little jag
to carry on hot day like this / would
like to tell the world.
Even special chose men like myself who
is not a common buck solder any more
but a Hummer for the Majur has got to
pack tte same amount of junk
blankets, one-have tent, intrenehing tools,
100 rounds ammunaton, rifle, mess kit,
pair shoes, socks, gas mask, bayonet and
skabbard, eantine, First Aid kit and tin
hat. That's Just about enough stuff to
start a five and ten cent store with and
yet everyone of us suckers has got to
pack that.
OF eorse being a runner is fine business
but it is kind of tuff after you have been
strolling along with three rooms and bath
on your back to have to run messages the
rest of the night. But Say la Ger, as
they speak it over here, meaning, Barney,
That's the war.
Well so long Barney. / guess tomor-
row will be running important messages
all day for the Majur so l better hit the
bay. So long, BENSIE.

DEAR GERTIE: Just a line because
we are going away right away on
some big r,anovers and nobody
knows when We are going to get
back or how long we are going to stay
and l got idea myself that they will
probably put US right up in the front line
trenshes as soon as we get done with
these manOvers.
Manovers is the final practise before
they send you into aetun Gertie and of
course l amt allowed to tell you much
about them becaus this letter might fall
into the hands of some unscrupiles persun
and the Germins find out all about what
fine manovers We was going to have and
then of corse they would know what Won
derful troops we was and then when we
went into the line they would invent some
thing new to thwort US. But l will just
drop the hint that it is great big battle
practise and shows just what We are going
to do with the yellow hunns when We get
up against them.
And Gertie I CUES amt told you yet
