OUR 30 Us
OUR COuNTRY'S SERVICE

The following letter has been re-
ceived by A. n. Smith OF Hallowell
from his son Newton Smith, who is
in France. A fine tribute is paid by
this Hallowell boy to the spirit Of the
troops and to the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army
On Duty with the
= American Troops.
France Oct. 1918.
Ny dear Dad:
How are you all? I received let
ter from Nina today. 1t seems good
to get mail regularly now. am
writing this in the Evangeline Booth
hut of the Salvation Army. Believe
me we boys appreciate the work they
do for Us. 1t is a service given free
heartedly to every one and not like
the We arc doing this for accomoda-
ton" kind. They try to have some
thing like pie, cookies or doughnuts
every night. With the bunch they
feed il looks as if they have to work
all day to put them together. When
ever you see a drum head or kettle,
just put bit in for me because it
will come back TO the boys here with
a dollars worth of good.
The Salvation Army have meetings
Of the old fashioned kind but the
spirit they carry with them is won
derful and does a lot OF good in many
ways. Believe me we take our hats
off to the Army lasses. They do the
work. but do not preach about it for
effect. But it you want to know any
thing aboat them. just ask any Of the
boys that are here, they will tell you.
Everything is quiet in our part of
the country. But they are steadily
making Fritz give ground elsewhere,
We are all laughing at his peace talk
and the propaganda he drops from
his aeroplanes would make horse
laugh. Every one he drops means a
captured Dutchman just to make him
see what we think OF it. Believe me,
we won't quit until he comes across
with the white flag. He has got to
come to it. no matter how hard he
hates 10. Believe me. we are begin
ming TO see the end and l guess he is,
too.
Dad, YOU should see the wonderful
spirit Of our troops when they come
out of the battle. If the people could
sec it, they would see why we are
going to win the war. In the drive of
Sept 18th. | saw them wounded but
raving to go. One, in particular,
with part Of his chin gone but
peacefully whiting u cigarette was
cussing the luck Of being put out OF
the game SO easily. They are all
that kind and believe me. they are
going TO see it through.
Well, will say good bye for this
time and wish you all my love.
Your loving son.
NEWTON.

OF course the fellow who whistles
at his work is likely to annoy some
one near him who is nervous and irri-
table. but the whistling Is s good omen.
Singing awakens the emotions. and
whether a man can carry a tune or
not, something breaks loose inside him
something gives way and permits
him to enter more heartily into any

can lift his voice with the others.

They are putting more steam into the drive. Let's back them for all we are worth And let's give our great President full power to enforce his demands
 Power that will enable him to stand like rock and bring those murderers of women and babies to the stern bar of justice
