should happen to me up there and
should fill heroes grave in far away
Franse don't want you not to merry or
go hopping around and ware black all
the rest of your life | want you to be
gay Gertie old pal and if some nice fello
comes along who has been a solder over
here in Franse why you don't need to hest
tate on acct. of my account but just 60
ahed
There is only one last requist that |
would like to make Gertie and l only do
this for your own good Gertie. If some
thing should happen to me up here l
want you to always remember that the
last request | ever made of you Is to be
careful about associatin with Marines and
likewise with Blue Jackits. Blue Jaekits
is plenty bad enough but there amt
nothing can say strong enough to warn
YOU from Marines.
/ remember onse when you was listen
ing TO the wiles of one of them Marines
and also when Won was falling for Blue
Jackit but YOU are older and more ex-
perunced now and | don't suppose my
warning is necessary. But, Gertie what
ever YOU do remember that / was solder
and warned you against these birds with
my dying breth
We are getting nearer the front all the
time and we can hear the sound of the big
guns as plane as anything. If they don't
hold us back | wouldn't be surprised that
we would be in Germany in a couple Of
weeks. That is some of us will but there
will be lot of US that will die the soil of
Franse red with our blud.
The only thing that | am hoping for
is that can get me Germin helmit before
something happens to me. If l do get one
and something happens to me afterwards
will have it sent to YOU and you can hang
it up in the parlor and tell everybody that
your Bonnie give his life to get that helmit
for you.
Well farewell Gertie old pal. By bye
forver BENNIE.

DEAR BARNEY: Well I CUES you
~ will not be surprised or nothing like
that, eh Barney when you hear that | am
writing this letter on trane and that We
are going up to the front and start right
in fighting them Germins. Our officers
been kidding us along with lot of school
bov stuff for almost two months over here
in Franse but CUES now they have took
a tumble and decided they might as well
get the war ended.
You remember Barney that wrote you
that there was a lot of runners about us
Ter wing our training bilets and making a
b. move and that some of these poor
boob privates thot they was going to be
sent to Italy or Russia or somewheres like
that but that | said No, they needed us
here against the hunns. Well as usu,
Barney. was right and here we are now
plugging along towards the front.
Well old pal CUES if You could see this
trane that We are riding on that it would
hand you big laff. We are riding mostly
in either wooden passenger cars or else in
box cars and they are both nothing but
jokes. They are about as big as these toy
francs you see in parks and at fairs.
And if they had one of these little brass
Frensh engines over in America they
would put it in musium and charge two
iitneys throw to take look at it.
When they decide to stop, which is about
ever fifteen minutes, the engine stops first
and then the other run on into II and then
stop by name stringth and awarkidnes.
But of corse amt hooking the Frensh
any becaus after all these francs don't
belong to US and this country don't ether
much obliged.
Well so long, Barney. Will write you
when we get into the trenshes.

Well on the square Barney l bet we
run five miles. right thru rivers, over
fences. thru brush and woods and every
thing. And when the MajIr finally
stopped we was scattered all over the
visible lanscape.
He waited until We all gathered around
him and everybody was sitting down ON
the grass painting like hound and then
he said: whats the matter of You
men7 thought you was in perfect fiscal
eonditun. Ugh! What's the matter of
YOU"
There wasn't a sound nowhere and then
all over the place you could hear Steve
Gardner in stage whisper say, IL guess
we amt as wild as you are, Majur."
Well the Majur heard him and for
about secund he looked sore aud then
he began smiling and then he said dis
missed" Some crazy afternoon, / mean
it was.
And right this minute Barney i got
low bunch that We are going to have to
start digging a new set of practise trenches
right out here within sound of the guns
/ honestly believe will take my rifle and
blow my branes all over Franse before
1 will dig another foot of practise trenshes,
Barney. That is all / been doing since
last September. Say, have dug enough
of them things to drane the Atlantiek
Oeean-and now we are going to have to
dig some more Words fail me Barney.

saw that we was American soldiers the old
lady and the little kids all hOllered just
as loud as they could, "Vive America!
Vive America.
Well we looked kind of foolish and
then Steve Gardner took off his hat and
leaned out of the window and waved back
at the old woman and hollered, "Vive
Fransew Then we all cheered and hol-
Tered give Franse!" And Mama even
from where we was we could see that old
woman wiping the tears out of her eyes.
Riding thru Franse like this Mama
makes fello hate the Germins something
awful. AS you get up here where the
Germins have been you don't see nothing
much but ruins and you 60 through whole
towns that amt hardly nothing but just
ruins like a big fire had swept over it.
Well Mama l am fine and never was 80
well fisicaly in my whole life And you

Man Power.

We read much of man power these
days; human power is better term,
because it emphasizes the fact that
the women and children also consti-
tute 4 great factor in this war. In
the final victory every man, woman,
and child in America can and should
have part.
In combaring the man power of
Germany with that of United States
it must be borne in mind that a
larger proportion of the manual
labor performed, is exerted by the
German women than by the women
of America. 1t is said that in peace
time the women constitute AZ per
cent of the agricultural and indt-s-
trial labor of Germany. They work
in the field, in the factories, in the
mines, at the very hardest and
most laborious tasks, doing the
work only done by men in this
country. With great proportion
of the German men in the army, it
is not improbable that women now
constitute by far the largest half of
German manual labor.
The women of the United States
are nobly, unsel6shly, manfully,
one may say, bearing their share
of the burdens of war. By the grace
of God and the power and courage
of America the fate of the German
women is not and will never be
theirs. But it will be with their
assistance and cooperation and
their full assumption of the burdens
and duties Of the day that the
United States is to exert its full
power in Kidding the world of that
intolerable German kultur which
makes brute soldiers of the men
and slaves of the women.
