FOOIING THE AUsTRIANs.

Chiefly characteristic of the Aus
trian soldiers and people, as a whole,
is their apparent density.
Defeated most decisively by the
Italians and otherwise battered
about ever since the Hun ka. ser
started the war, the people of A s.
tria still seem { stan1 for and &C.
cept at face v-lue the buncombe
that the kaiser gang hands out to
thenf.
The latest instance OF the kind is
contained in an official statement is
sued by the Austrian war office
which says, I'm the wester theater,
Hungarian troops are taking
glorious part in the fighting to the
east of the River Meuse."
The fact of the matter is that
neither the Huns nor any of their
vassals engaged in trying TO stem
the advance of the Americans and
the entente forces, are doing any
thing that might be characterized as
GLORIOUS"
On the contrary, about all the Hun
troops there have done thus far is to
supply prisoners for the Americans
and the cooperating entente fight
ers. along with great assortment
of big guns. ammunition and other
important stores.
War reports at hand state that the
American and entente forces that
have instituted a big drive in the
vicinity of the Mouse, not only have
penetrated for an important distance,
but have captured many guns, sup
plies and taken thousands of Hun
prisoners.
The Hun commanders surely know
of what really is going on and by
the same token so does the Austrian
war office, but the latter being the

have noticed how they scatter and
sometimes couple will find them
selves left, not having had single

are boys in the American army who
get very little mail and really l feel
for them. Still in many cases it's
a mans own fault. If he would get
busy and write he would get letters.
"As we SOW, so shall we reap" The
soldier who writes the most letters
gets the most mail.
August 18th. l did not get thru
with this the other evening, and I
was on guard last night. It's fun to
watch the stars and moon while
every now and then flocks of air
planes pass over head on their way
to Germany to keep them from
dreaming too much about their
sweethearts. For few big pills can
make lot of noise. OF course Fritz

have taken part in some of the
great battles OF Picardy where the
Americans beat Fritz and drove them
back, while thousands were left ON
the field, never more to help Kaiser
Bill lose the victory. OF course some
of our boys also paid the supreme
price, sacrificing their all for our
country and the allied cause.
France IL smiling thru her tears.
She knows Paris is safe, for while
at least, and that Americans are com
ing fast to end the war and give the
world an everlasting peace.
Having been in France for nearly
a year ! consider myself soldier,
and nothing can surprise a fellow.
We have slept in old ruins, barns,
barracks. on the ground, under
bunch of trees, in wheat fields, box
cars and other artistic places sucn

But we sure can sleep. and are thank

STILL AT THE CASE

Col. Harry Beach, veteran of
the frontier days when old Buffalo
Bill used to chase the red skins,
dropped in at the Review office the
other day and hung up his hat. Col.
Beach, who has weathered the storms
of IA years, is cracker-jack printer,
and his three score-a and fourteen sit
lightly on his venerable shoulders.
From the days way back yonder
when he fought the indians, the Col
onel has been a roamer, and his sun
ny disposition makes him at home
with all who meet him. In spite of
his age, he is as good at the case as
any present day young sprig, and
the scar from savage's arrow is
about the nearest thing to furrow
on his ancient brow.
