From the Front

No subject can be more famil.
lar than the above. To have been
at the Front somewhere in France
would be honor enough for any
patriotic American. Now that
the battle is over and the, victory
won we can all be proud of our
brave boys who stood at the front
like stone wall till the last shell
was shot.
At the front, that was the
longest battle line the world ever
saw. Cyrus, Caesar. Alexander.
the Great or Napoleon, never
dreamed that from the bottom of
the sea to heavens dome. "twixt
upper, neither and surrounding
fires", that war could be so hor-
rid. When our brave defenders
From the Front" return uncen-
sured we'll hear true bill" Of
how they fought mid rain of shot
and shell and what trials they en-
dured from start to finish. They
will say too-all honor to the 10y
al true Americans on this side,
who bought bonds and kept the
Home fires burning" Heav-
ems benediction they will invoke
upon the Red Cross which on Ce-
lestial wing flew all over our land
on one great flight of mercy.
They will raise hosanas in the
highest for tine seven united war
activities that they were a cloud
by day and a pillar of fire by
night to make camps comfortable
and home-like and to instill into
their minds the fear of God and
no fear of the Hun. Are any of
you sorry you spent your money
for the the brave boys "at the
fcont." Then shame on every
mothers son of you! Did any of
you refuse to loan your strug-
Cling country your money in this
dire time OF need, then go hide
your faces from the sons of free
dom, for you knew your duty and
did it not and have need to be
beaten with many stripes. When
the soldier boys come back from
the front" all bedecked in free
doms glory. you can't greet them
with We'll boys we licked them,
didn't we! Let me tell you what
you do. if you want to be worthy
of citizenship in the land of the
free and the home of the brave,
which our brave boys fought for
to maintain. Go without delay
t. your banker and deposit from
$50 to 81, 900 to have it ready for
the 5th Liberty Loan to clean up
the deficit of debt that is bound
to come upon US. because we an
swered the Macedonian call from
the other side of the sea. come
over and help us" Will you do
this? If not, you have u name
to live and die dead to all sense
of true Americaism. If an an
cry beast or hungry bear or cruel
Hun comes sauntering at your
door and you refuse TO rise up in
your might to protect your wife
and dependent little ones let me
say. you will live and die unhon-
oreo and unsung.
When l got up only thought
to make a four minute speech.
l thank you. J.>A. j.

have been receiving your let

forward to receiving the Denver
Post. There will be nearly a
ship load of papers if all the Col

They lay it on the Yanks. Well
anything to get their goats.
I am sending you and papa
each a FIR (as a sovenir) which
is worth about 20: in our money,
also a paper dropped by a Ger
man aeroplane Oct. %, at 1880 a
m. Tbi, is supposed to dishear-
ten the Yanks, but instead it
shows what condition they and
their troops are in. These papers
were dropped about 500yds from
where we were.
England is very pretty but don't
think l would like to live there
as it is looks so crowded. Every
one walks or rides a bicycle.
There are 80 many stone quarries
in England. They have stone
fences also crush up the rocks
and make roads. 1 wore out one
pair of hob nailed shoes in cross

The other day / picked up a
Gumsn turtle trap to add to my

left things where they are.
We are living in the cut.st lit
tile dugout. in it are beds with
springs and everything else but
sheets and chairs. We are going
to try and get some of the aban-
