deeds which were accomplished thru
men like him,

not lived in vain, but that every man
and woman who had come into con
tact with him during his entire life
had been benefited and enriched thru
having known such man The sym

! city feel for the wife the mother
and the two babies of the dead officer
was expressed, and the distinction
which will follow this family to theil
graves thru their relationship to their
beloved hero was pictured
The work Of all the Ottawa boys
in the service was commented upon
and praised for the willingness ant
quickness in which they have offer
ed to crush out thedemon Prussian

contain it all,
American troops are fighting and
fighting hard, and | am glad to say
that | grow more proud every day of
the American soliier and the Ameri.
can spirit. The boys fight like dea-
mons and believe me they lett the

went forward It was thrilling

Many times have we hell and occV-
pied sections Of the front but never
before have we gone over the top to
lick the Hun. Our Colonel fell by the
wayside and the operation officer also
so it was up TO the rest OF Us to do our
best. We gained our objectyes and
today the regiment is proud of its
victories.
At present we are comfortably 10.
Gated in a big chateau and peace and
quiet everywhere. 1t seems good to
be outside of the noise of the battle
