hear little bit about the big war
away over in Europe-but we have
been very busy acting for the last
six monthS-noW we will have few
hours rest Now we have a little
time to think over and talk about the
little and big things that have hap
pened since we arrived on the firing
line six months ago.
| have taken part in almost all of
the big drives of the past six months
they are wonderful, yet awful. We
took a big part iii the second battle
of the Marine, and have driven Fritz
back at many other places. / could
tell you some very interesting stories,
but our censor will not allow it, so
you will have to wait until | come
back-then | will tell you and Grand
pa orion all about it.
We have met soldiers from almost
every country in the world, but there
is none half so good at the "Yank"
We have fought days and nights be-
side the French soldiers We have
been united in defense with the Eng
lish soldiers-together, with them,
we have driven the Hun" back every
place that our General saw fit to send
US. We have worked side by side with
the Italian soldiers; even the Aus

With something approaching sick

and loyal Republicans have seen the
word go forth to elect Democratic
congress. Some months ago we heard
Politics is Adjourned" and seeing
thegjustice and broadness of this
statement all loyal people concurred,
standing shoulder to shoulder under
the Grand Old Flag regardless of
race, politics or religion. Now it
seems that Republicans are good
enough to buy bonds, stand by the
government and die in it's defense but
not to have representatives in con-
gress
