have increased the morale of the allies
TO an extent undreamed OF.
DO Or Die Spirit Seen.
AS an individual offensive we deliver
ed what one would call mighty blow
under the supreme command of General
Pershins who was at the scene Of the
battle. We restored to France over $50
miles OF square territory Accompany
ing us we were supported b. a minority
Of French participation. French tanks
were manned by Americans for the first
time and when one tank came TO halt
the two Yanks inside. without fear OF
any sort. came out and leaped-frogged
into our infantry. It was the most re-
narkable event I have even see, and
such is the American fighting spirit-to
do or die
You already know where we struck
and in the sector I was in we took a
large village before ten hours of fight
ing had passed. The Huns stiffened
their resistance near the village but our
great aeroplanes manned b. Yanks com
pleted the task Of Riding Fritz and
Hans from the town.
Got Pr1tz's Number.
We've got Fritzs number" was the
new cry as the infantry went over and
I am sure that YOU will agree with all OF
us. The quality of the Prussian disci-
pline is shot to bits. Officers and men
alike were quick in giving themselves
UP and from the average jireen or
doughboy you can learn that the Huns
are plain towards.
The night of our attack the weather
was very poor and while You at home
were suffering from the intense heat
our bows in The trenches were no pikers

SoTnewhere in England.

Somewhere in England.
Dear Mr.. Louis:
Well. I am finally. after "A years toll
ing and repairing. Somewhere In Eng
land" and l spent the sabbath in an en-
tirely different manner than ! would
have in the good old L. s. \. We pa
raded the streets of England and / was
kept busy observing the many customs
that differ from ours in the states.
Though the homes are all Of the old
type the surroundings are beautiful
and sure represent lots OF care time
and devotion. The good old Stars and
Stripes are very much in display, in
fact I saw as many L. s. a. flags as
British We Sammy" boys as the
English call US, are held in high esteem
by them. It is laughable to witness a
group of our lads upon receiving q sum
of English money in exchange for that
of American. endeavoring TO solve the
value Of each denomination. But with
the assistance of a number of English
soldiers the mystery is easily cleared.
II is now that we are commencing to
automatically hear related stories OF the
various German atrocities and they are
shockingly described. The food is good
and not crumb wasted. The weather
seems TO nave daily haDlt OF raining.
1t may interest you to know that it is
the common opinion here that the war
Will end by this Christmas and believe
me If il don't l pity those damn Ger
mans as we are quite ready for the pic
mic. We had quite eventful trip
across the pond but I cannot go into
detail. Well. Mr.. Louis, bye bye for
this time. Regards to Mrs. Louis. I
trust John Louis is a lieutenant at
this writing. Regards to all my friends
