Writes From France.
Private Harold Corning of Church
street who has seen a great deal of
active service in France, has written
the following letters to his mother;
MY Dear Mother,
Just g. line to let you know that
I am safe and all O. X. We just
came out of the line and tough time
We had, believe me, and Mother T
thank our dear Lord that I am once
more behind the lines In good condi-
ton. Our outfit was sure hit hard
and some Of our best boys are gone,
but I guess Jerry knew we were there
as we gave them an awful run for
their money. 7 was doing observa-
ton work for one Of our best Shippers
and he accounted for two that we are
sure Of, 30 that wasn't so bad. My
work takes me away from our COM
pany. We go out under cover Of dark
ness and dig ourselves In and establish
a post and lay there watching our
chance at German, It Is not SO
dangerous unless Jerry spots, which he
seldom does. But when he cuts loose
his artillery and tries to shell us out
but never mind mother, I am sure
God Is with me and he has been
good to me SO far.
1--WE expect q long rest now and
all new equipment as our outfits are
worn out. Eddie Is all right and ex-
cept from being all In from lack Of
sleep, he Is the same old boy. So will
close now but will write to you again
in a few days. I wanted to let you
know that 1 am safe and we'll.
Your dough-dOy,
HAROLD"
