My Dear Parents:
Missed writing my last week
letter; was very busy and ex-
pecting to be more SO soon.
Don't know whether | told
you, but we are operating with
the British now and can as
sure you we have seen some eX-
citing times, but It's strange
how soon one becomes accus-
toned to these things. Have
just finished very good book
while not far away the noise of
the big guns are pounding
away. But l must do some
thing to break the monotony.
One of the most saddening
and appalling sights | have
witnessed was some bombed
hospitals we visited last week.
Each building had a large Red
Cross painted on the roof and
it seems as those were the fav-
orite targets of the Huns; and
to think, the dirty, cowardly
brutes, after having used up
their bombs, were not satisfied
with killing che sick and
wounded and the poor nurses
and doctors, but turned their
lights upon the orderlies and
moved them down with their
machine guns. Oh, shall al
ways hate the name of Ger
many And still, the people
of our country do not believe
these things.
It wont be long now until the
Hun will have a pill of his own
making. He is beginning to
feel it already and they are
squealing like the cowardly
pigs they are. sincerely be-
lieve the end will be before
another year. Germany is sac
rificing untold numbers of
men without appreciate gain,
and our boys are giving a good
account of themselves, God
bless them! They have just
given two of his crack divisions
the damdest licking yet.
You know | haven't received
a scratch of mail from you yet
and it has been three months
now. Please write me good
and cheerful letters and plenty
of them. Do not worry about
me for l am alright.
Your true and faithful son,
SHEROD.

Wish I could tell you the
numbers we have handled in

Berlin authorities are calling
upon the German people to go
barefooted in order to save ma
terial for the German army.
But no matter what sacrifices
the German people may make
now, their army is doomed to
meet defeat, and what little
they may be able to save by
going barefooted will not help
the situation very much. But
it shows to what lengths the
war lords of that country will
go in their efforts to dominate
the earth.

Enemy Still Has
Seventy Fresh Divisions

Exactly the same thing hap
pened at the other end of the line,
in front of Robecq, near the apex
of the right angle. In proportion
to the numbers engaged, the losses
were perhaps more serious on this
day than on any other of the fight
ing, and the contrast between the
defensive and offensive losses-be-
tween those of the British and
those of the Germans - was
greater than at any other moment
in the last fortnight.
The effect of this Thursday,s
battle may best be judged by the
fact that on Friday there was no
infantry action of moment on the
front. During Saturday, the goth,
this lull or refusal to attack from
the enemy's side continued. But on
Saturday the British took the op-
portunity to restore the position in
front of Givenchy, recovering by a
sharp stroke of units of the first
army the outposts abandoned here
on Thursday.
1t should be noted that of about
lSO divisions which the Germans
had available for attack-out of
some 200 all together on the West
ern front-they still have from so
to 70 fresh divisions to be put into
the battle. Rather over a hundred
between 106 and 11O-have al
ready been put through the mill,
some Of them many times.

elevations at their foot-Bailleul,
Neuve Eglise, Merris and Meteren
would try to turn them by the
east and west, that is, to push for
ward northeastward from Neuve
Eglise and northwestward from
Meteren.
On Monday, the 18th, the Ger
mans struck on the left near the
angle of the right angle by MeT-
vile, achieving nothing and OBJ
tanning, therefore, no direct ad-
vance toward Hazebrouck. But
during the night between Sunday
and Monday Neuve Eglise was
evacuated by the British and new
position was taken up beyond the
little stream of the Douve, imme-
diately to the north of it.
During this Monday, however,
the enemy for the first time in five
days marked definite advance.
which, though only preparatory to
the much heavier task still before
him (that of taking or turning the
hills) was of importance. He
reached the summit of Messines
Ridge and Wytschaete, entered
Meteren and, quite early in the
day, through concentration ef-
fected during the night, also en-
tered Bailleul.
