Praise for the American Army.

The following unusual letter has been
received in Belfast and The Journal re-
CARDS it privilege to use it in its columns:
Somewhere in France,
August 7, 1918.
Dear Aunts: Just finished a general
policing up which means scrubbing in
the army, and perhaps you think we did
not need it? 1t has been many weeks
since our last bath and during that time
we had no opportunity to sleep in any
thing but marching order" (which in
cludes shoes and leggins, sometimes un-
derground, sometimes setting on the
hardest stump but mostly wrapped up in
slicker. We are back short ways for
our crest period" Its in town evac-
uated by the Boshes but few days ago
and YOU can imagine the shape it is in
when you consider that the Germans bat
tered it in taking it and smashed it when
they left and our artillery hammered it
for two DAYS and nights. But you Just
leave it to US to make it comfortable.
My household, which was at one time
barber shop, contains one bed, one chair,
one rug and dresser and did have about
8 Yards of debris. Now what more could
a person want? It's complete house,
hold when you include the kitchen in the
rear which answers for bath room, din
ing room and living room. l slept Just
II hours last night and look forward to
Just that many more tonight, and to make
things more ideal a commissary wagon
american and one French) passed here
last night and l have everything from
chocolate to salaml sausage including
peaches, milk chocolate, cigarettes, cigars
and tobacco. Lord, but they tasted good
and my conscience did not bother me
bit as per friend Hoover. Could not be
worried.
These last few weeks have shown the
American army in their real colorS, ex-
ceeding the expectations of the French
and efficient, hearty and courageous. l
know everybody at home will be more
than proud of them. Some of the boys
are not with US but their brave spirits
will always help us along the right direc-
ton.
You have no doubt read of the youth
of the German prisoners, but you per-
haps have doubted it. There are many
but IA or Is years old and Others over SO,
some were found chained to machine guns
so they could not fall back, others left be-
hind because they could not keep up the
pace under the circumstances, but all glad
to be captives after they have been with
our men for few days. Their spirit and
patriotism is more than rotten, in fact
there seems to have been none in many
cases.
Are they still putting over new Hoover
isms2 That seems to be the foundation
for about every other joke you read in
the papers.
About a week ago we ran across full
California outfit-the first we have seen
over here-and found many friends
amongst them. Gee, but amt it great
to meet a friend from your old home
town" was the parting from a GOOD many
of us.
Have we got them on the run? You
can Just bet we have. With love,
