| see how well posted we are. You [ democrats ought to wake up and give Us fellows a chance to vote. Out of probably 600 Arizona voters in our regiment probably 5 received their ba lots for the primary. l certainly would appreciate an opportunity to
 After waiting nearly a year our ! regiment is at last on the firing line We left the camp from which I wrote you last, early this month, and arrived at the front just in time to do our bit in the first big American offensive Our division has driven the Huns out | of that portion of France which they have (deleted by censor) and our regiment is today closer to German soil than Tucson is to Fort Lowell.
 "We have already had a number of casualties, both killed and wounded. and it certainly caused a feeling of deep dc pression among us on receipt of the sad news. Two boys of our battery, one of them from Phoenix and a member of the Knights of Co., lumbus, were the first killed in our regiment Our chaplain, Father O'Toole, conducted the services at a little cemetery right at the battle front, with German shells whistling all around the little burial party.
 Magazine writers and press core spondents may try to tell about this life at the front, but the truth will not be known to those away from here until it is all over and the boys who have lived through it return to tell their story. Many are the comical scenes, hardships and little tragedies which the professional gatherer of news can never learn about, but which the boys will narrate to the folks at home when it is all over
 'Very few things here have sur prised me- I expected to see and ex- perience many wonderful things and I'll be frank to say l have not been disappointed The underground living places built by the Germans during their four years possession of this country remind fellow of Grimm's Fairy Tales. This is a hilly country and every hill is a network of caves with walls of concrete, electrically | lighted, with feather beds to sleep on and other conveniences which only | the well-to-do are accustomed to. Of course the Huns tried to destroy these things but in their hurried de parture they were not entirely sue cessful."
 Mis- Mary Marti of North, Stone avenue has received the following letter from her brother. the sergeant:
 Sept 26, 1918.
 Dear Mary: l started to write you lost night, and had written about five words, when we got orders to. pack up and move. It may be some time before another chance to write pre- sents itself.
 "The past two weeks have certain iy been exciting ones. On several occasions we have had to change our camp twice every "A hours German, planes located our camp, with the result that they shelled the site. but We beat them to it by moving during the night
 We are no longer in the southern part of France, in fact. we are now ir the opposite corner Here the nights are longer and colder, with plenty of rain. As we have to carry every, thing on our horses I was obliged to throw away about half of what had before leaving Since then have had to reduce the size of my roll several times, and I suppose be fore long it will be down to a pair of blankets, an extra suit of underwear an overcoat and a slicker.
 ''As we go along the road we see supplies of all kinds lying along the road, Q saddle here, an overcoat there, rifles, ammunition, blanket rolls and scores of other things which have been left either by the Germans in their hurry to get away or by our own soldiers in order to tighten theh packs.
 This affair cannot last much long CT. really believe We are near the end of it now.
 Whenever you can help any of those patriotic organizations, such as the Red Cross, do so, as they are doing an immense amount of good over here. And at home everyone must do his or her share, and little more besides.
 ''It is now nearly seven weeks since the last paper from home arrived, and
