Forest River Boy Tells Of
French Hamlet Fired by
Germans.

In a letter to his parents at Forest
River, Malcolm G.. Gillespie, former
university student, tells of a city
through which he has passed, in
which the Germans, curing their brief
occupation, burned, and ransacked
everything possible. He also tells Of
exciting adventures OF some Of the
men who have been at the front, and
with whom he has been talking.
The letter follows:
France. June II. 1918.
I have had the opportunity Of visit
ing the place where Edwin's division
Is stationed, but although I looked
for him I was unable to find him.
However, I learned while there that
he was up at the front.
This town of which I am speaking
had been bombarded and in the early
part of the war, had been occupied by
the Germans, What 1 saw was a scene
such az n might see after a fire had
swept thru a city. Where once stood
large stone buildings there were now
only heaps of stone, thru which rem
nants Of walls protruded.
No long afterwards I learned that
a German machine had been brought
down within our lines ear this same
place. The pilot, who escaped injury,
dressed in an An >rican officers uni
form, jumped into a nearby car and
made his escape. It is just another
example of the craftiness and treach-
cry Of the Germans.
L have talked with many Of the
fellows who have been up to the front
and they have very exciting and in
teresting stories to tell: Such as how
a few Americans raided a nest of ma
chine guns, killing the gunners, and
when they were about to carry the
guns back, found chains attached tc
them, which, following them up
were found to be fastened to the arms
Of dead Germans.
1t is true that the Germans do not
fight well unless in massed formation
German newspapers try to belittlt
the Americans in the eyes of the Ger;
man people, but it is said that there
are three groups Of soldiers whom
the French Colonials, the Canadians
and the Americans.
The United Statessis making colossa.
preparations here as in America Al
most every place one goes, American
soldiers are to be seen or else ovi.
dences of preparations may be seen
1t is only a matter of time until all thu
forces are concentrated and set IL
motion before the German reverseI
will begin, which will finally NEAR
the end of the war and the establish
ment of a democratic form Of govern
ment in Germany.

against Brinton at the time the let

meeting; denied having accepted IS
for the part he played in. the Garfi-
son meeting, prior to taking the plat
form; admitted that he had been ac-

no remuneration for his services and
that he acted only in the capacity Of

rest were a bunch Of skunks." He

witness, not so much attention to
