More from the pen of Herbert Field
IAN:
Is 1t Bara the vamp,
With her killing smile,
And those wonderous eyes,
That say "Stay awhile"?
Is it Chaplin the nut,
Who drives tears away,
And gladdens our heart
Each blessed day?
Is it Fairbanks the demon,
Who ever dares death,
And whose hair-raising stunts
Takes our very breath?
Do you like the "mellerdrammer,"
The kind Libby made great,
Or the modern love play
OF the bird and his mate?
They all end up
With the hug and kiss
OF the loving couple
They never miss.

Corporal Shipley Writes Home.

Corporal R. D. Shipley, one of the
ShepherdStoWn boys now fighting in
France, has written an interesting let
ter to his sister, Miss Emma Shipley.
He says:
This letter leaves me in the best of
health, but it is useless for me to try
to tell you how much | miss
you all. My hearts greatest desire to-
day is that might be with my loved
ones at home; but wouldn't be salts
fed back there so long as this war
lasts. receive both papers very reg
ularly, and you cannot imagine how
fully they are appreciated.
Now that France is getting so many
American soldiers over here we feel
like we are back in the u. S. A. We
have band concerts, entertainments
given by the American girls, the Y.
M. c. A. and the Salvation Army, so
you can see that we are coming along
just fine. am with fine bunch Of
fellows, mostly the same boys who were
with me in the States.
Today is memorial day in the United
States as we'll as in France. They had
a great time over here. There are a
good many Americans and aviators laid
to rest here beneath the sod Of beauti-
full France, only about mile from
where am stationed, and the French
and Americans decorated their graves
with wreaths of flowers of the most
beautiful sort. American and French
aviators flew over the graves and drop
ped flowers upon them as they passed.
All who were there shed tears, and the
French people wept over the Ameri-
can graves as they did over those of
their own soldiers.
We are very busy over here now.
The great drive is starting and | am
where | can hear and see it all. The
American girls are doing great work
over here. Don't worry, dear sister,
about US. We will never let Old Glory
fall. The Star and Stripes will float
over Kaiser Bills palace before long.
He doesn't realize who he's fooling
with-do you think?
Well, it's getting very lively around
here. The explosions from the big
guns shake the earth under my feet.
Goodbye and love to all
Your loving brother,
r. D. SHIPLEY.

May II, 1918.
My Precious Mother To-day has
been filled with thoughts Of mother and
all her wonderful love. had the honor
of reading a little Aete from General
Pershing at reveille, and later in the
day a Y. M. G. A. secretary brought
around the circulars. Am enclosing
one, which | think very good-but yet
of course not as good as you. The
boys here have thought lot Of their
mothers, especially today, I know, for
they have talked and written too. My
thoughts and prayers have been with
you all day, and of course have been
filed heart and soul, with apprecia-
ton Of all Of your wonderful love.
Everything goes well here so far. 1t
has been quieter than | expected to
find it, but it livens little at times.
The other afternoon our guns had a
hand in a little advance, which was
very successful, and the ground gained
was held against repeated attempts to
get il back. During the night, first
about go, while we were attempting
to eat little supper, suddenly the call
"barrage"-the signal to put UP the
wall OF fire in front of our infantry to
resist a German attack-was shouted.
Of course, with one movement We all
jumped from the table, kicking the
chairs aside and rushed out. BY that
time the guns were already blazing
forth, and before long all was compare
lively quiet again. But again about
midnight we jumped from our beds for
the same thing. Then that was over
and We went TO bed again. But about
one o'clock it was repeated in the same
way. But now all has settled COM
paratively quiet on the new lines. OF
course, we don't know what may start
any day here, but we will do our level
best, whatever it is, so that the Ger
mans will either be halted if they do the
starting, or else they will come across
here at best very haltingly and at a
terrific cost,
The French are great, and very ap-
preciative of Americas help. Just to-
day two Frenchmen were seen with
beautiful wreathS of flowers that they
were carrying to decorate the graves Of
two Americans that had fallen here on
the front, two infantry privates. On the
wreaths they had the words, "To our
American comrades in arms" II is
good to be with the French in this great
struggle, and we all feel honored to be
here. Ii was good to know that the
army corps with whom we served at
the other place asked to have us back
here, even though we had been assigned
to another corps. Both corps are a
part of the First French Army, and
believe me they can shoot and fight.
With a heart full of love to all, and
especially to mother on this good day,
may God bless you and all the rest!
Your devoted son,
CLEON.
