OF course the first two incidents
were unavoidable but the last was
purely an accident.
The Forces in France are appre-
ciating, you may be sure, the sacri-
fees which the civilians are making,
and the majority of them are trying
their best to turn these sacrifices in
to results. Sometimes we do get
lonely and tired but never discourag-
ed. Not discouraged. because our
adversaries never give us anything
to cause us to be so. | never at
tempt to predict an end to this thing
for it has been continued so long
that the enemy seems to look upon
war as an occupation more than any
thing else. The only thing that we
can do is to awake them some day
only to let them find themselves
without their usual employment.
This can be done, and if the author
tiles will only lay off of peace terms,
it will be done. If peace terms more
than those that were offered at the
beginning of the war, were to be
agreed upon now, l think that /
should feel as if experience alone
were gained by our coming over here.
For the sake of the volunteers we
want to eXterminate them without

On account of the low clouds and
