Expect to See The Other Side Of
The Rhine

A letter received from Ralph Lyle
this week by friend, dated Decem-
Der rs, 1917, indicates that the United
States has not been idle since war
was declared against the Huns.
While Ralph could not write all he
wanted to his letter Is nevertheless
interesting, and 1t follows:
1--WE have just had our Christmas
and 1t was II very white one. The
boys got upa very nice program at
the Y. NJ. @. A., which consisted Of
sons, speaking and music by our
orchestra which Is made up mostly
OF mandolins and q very good one.
Also one Of the boys In my company
is a lightning artist and hand-cuf
king; his part Of the program was
extra good. 1t took place on Christ
mas eve, and at the close Santa Claus
came down out OF chimney and
gave out presents to all. Each got
either u horn or RATHER; and say,
there WAS some noise till taps which
WAS an hour or more later than usual.
Yesterday the Y was overlooked with
little French kids and Santa gave
each Of them present; think the
Red Cross furnished these.
"Our Christmas dinner was even
better than on Thanksgiving day. We
were disappointed In not getting the
Christmas boxes, which we had
looked forward to with pleasure, but
we will likely enjoy them all the
more when they do arrive. All In all
we had a good day.
"Wish could tell you Of the cOun-
try and what we are doing, but the
censors are too strict for us to say
much. About all can say is that we
are very busy and doing fighting, and
that we all expect to see the other
side OF the Rhine before going home.
1--WE had some very funny ex-
periences here, and one Of them I
must give you. With friend i sat
down at table at a hotel and we
were there nearly all afternoon. Civ
ing the waitress word to bring on the
eats she .'parley voued" and we said
I'VE" which was the extent Of our
French. In about an hour she
brought the first course; we tried to
make her understand to bring 1t al
together rs oIr passes only lasted till
four o'clock and we wanted to see
the town. But these people can't
hurry; anyway guess she thought
we were very hungry and wanted
several meals all at once, because
every time she would bring anything
she would say something else?'' and
we would answer "we." After we
got filled up the grub kept coming,
SO we got two Frenchmen at the
table. and filled them up, too. They
had q hard time getting the cook
stopped. Now can say "finis"
and "alloe" which does the business.

My dear Pa and Ma:
Your most loving letter came to-
night and was much pleased to hear
from you. Am very sorry that con-
ditions are as they are In the state,
for 1t sure must be pretty hard to get
along without sugar, coal, wood and
things that one most needs. But l
suppose we have all got to play our
part towards winning this war and
that is one of the things the people
at home have to do to help out. We
get plenty of sugar, Karo syrup, pota-
toes, onions, beef, fish, -four, salt,
bacon canned, baking powder, beans,
milk canned, and jam; wood Is all we
use, and we can get plenty OF that
from old trees that have been broken
down by shells.
Believe me that there Is lots OF ex-
citement where am now. The
shells fly all around the cook shack
and the big guns sing US to sleep
every night. But we are all playing
the game with lots Of grit and, be-
lieve me, when the right time comes,
we will give old Kizer Bill, a run for
his money. The boys are all doing
fine and no one hurt In our Company
as yet, and we all hope there won't
be- Do you remember man by the
name of Frost Bunker, IS or 20 years
ago. He worked In the woods up
around The Forks, and IL you remem-
