in before we get through with
them. The boys surely gave
them hi, and they are going to
give them more of the same stuff
before they get through. Our
big guns are hammering away
at the the huns most all day
long and they bark at night once
in a while. A shell drops near
us once in a while, but they are
few; seems as tho the huns are
getting weaker.
They have caused a lot of suf-
in this country. ust to show
the difference between the Allies
and the germans in humanity.
Nv pal and | buried a dead hun
the other day as we couldn't
stand to see him lying around
any longer. The chaplain came
and read short sermon for him.
That is the way we are treating
the dead.

spring. The only things that
are worse than the germans here
are the flies. Let me hear from
you all.
