LETTERS FROM DIR. c. 3. RAY.
Was in Recent Allied Driye.-GrOund
Strewn With German Dead.

Following are excerpts from re-
cent letters from DR.. C. B. Ray, of
Olar, to his family. DR.. Ray was in
the midst of the recent Allied drive,
and tells in a most interesting man
ner some of the things he saw:
France, July 21.-We are still
leading fairly contented existence
in this forest and l really enjoy liv-
ing in this deserted farm house.
With the exception of having been
under shell fire from the long range
guns for 16 hours at one time and
having a few bombs dropped from
airplanes too close our quarters for
any real comfort, it is exceedingly
quiet out here. We are out of COM
munication with civilization and
mail comes and goes by chance. Here
is a messenger with orders to be
ready to move at certain hour on a
certain date, so I'll soon be on the
road to somewhere else. The Boche
are still retreating and of course we
must follow him.
July 22.-Up early ready to move.
The Boche still on the run and we
are so happy over this advance.
Well soon be where the Huns were
few hours ago. Seeing history in
it's making is an experience to be ap-
preciated. Here is the remainder of
a small town where severe fighting
took place. All that is left Of it is a
heap of stone. Along the roadside
are large numbers Of unburied Ger
mans. The roads are barely pass
able because there are great holes
made by the big guns, and the woods
along the roadside are literally torn
to pieces. We have arrived at what
was a town of twenty-five or thirty
thousand population. There are no
civilians here and the town itself is
destroyed. We entered this town "a
hours after the Boche left it. Fol-
lowing retreating army is a sensa-
tion too thrilling for description.
August 2.-Within a few days I
will have been absent a whole year,
and the prospects of returning soon
are not at all brilliant just now.-
The division to which I belong has
been in the line since February J.,
and it is rumored We are soon to be
sent back for a much needed rest.
The men who bore the brunt of the
recent advance, have beeh face to
face with war in it's real form, and it
is for them would welcome period
of repose. The American soldiers
can't be beat. They have the most
wonderful spirit and to hear them
talk you would think they really en-
JOY the sport of killing the Huns.
The infantry and artillery by their
remarkable dash, bravery, courage
and fighting qualities have won the
praise and admiration Of such veter-
ans as the French, a record of which
they should justly be proud. Don't
worry about me, or think of me as
being, in much danger or suffering
any hardships, for l am getting on
famously. Life in a magnificent
French chateau doesn't sound bad,
does it? The Allies seem to have
the supremacy in the air in this Sec
tor for very few German machines
come over, and those that do usually
stay. Just few days ago two Boche
machines. were driven down quite
near here. Love to all. CECIL.
