Norwich bulletin., 1918-08-14

the boys are giving money to help keep the French war orphans. The French people like the American, but they can't help but liking us as there is not a thing that the boys won't do to. help the French. A Trench girl asked me Sunday if the American people use their money so free when they are. at home? I asked her why she asked She said why there Is not thing that they don't do to help comfort the French. She spoke of the great help the Americans were giving to their war orphans and said that she was at a station where the Amer iean boys were throwing money at a drum so sine inquired what the idea was. She thought that they had so much money that they did not know what to. do with it. but when she learned that it was money for the war orphans the boys were giving ten and fifteen francs apiece and she won | dered if the boys would have any money left for themselves and you know that fifteen francs is only worth about $2.50 in Gods money, she said it would take a rich Frenchman to give that much money as French soldier only gets about five cents a day But, anyhow, she said that the American people are the most liberal people with their money she ever saw.
 But I wonder what she would say if she was in Gods country and saw the real American spirit as to helping for such 8 good cause like war or phans. There is no doubt that the American is the most liberal person. When we go along the streets and If any of the. boys have any of the French copper change which we call bunker plates. as they are so big and fano fA . sA+lo child we always give them away so to get rid of it as it is so big and heavy to carry. So you can see that
 that spirit of Sullivan's is just the same in France.
 In regards to the war I don't think
 you ought to worry as it is not |
 matter of years; it is only matter
 Of months. I suppose it is hard or
 the parents to see their b0y go away
 but don't forget that Uncle Sammy i:
 in back of the boys and he never wen
 to war until he was right and h.
 always finished right, so when this il
 over we will be done with war forever
 so, dear mother. cheer up, as I an
 coming back to you sooner than vol
 expect me and let all the boys get in
 to the service and come over here
 and when Bill finds out that there ar
 three million of us here he will qui
 his job and tell the people to gov
 ern and then there will be peace for
 ever. So I also want to say to a
 mothers to send their sons and mak
 Kaiser Bill quit and we will have
 peace-loving world.
 h The boys are doing wonderful wor t at all the fronts. For the Fourth t July they celebrated by sending in ne h guests as there were more new. pris = oners put in the camp. They wel d captured the Fourth. Of course the d were little late to help us celebrat j. but nevertheless they were surprise e to see so many Americans. and tf g, great preparations that we hre nal n ing to meet them with. It made the,
 look up and take notice.
 al Fred Baker of GreeneviIle is at u sr station here. I have not seen hir 10 but Ernest Rogers told me he spoke le him, so you see that Norwich h;
 done it's share with the aviation fore le as we have five Norwich boys he 0f TOW.
 of We have band at this station al " here on the station. Herman Marsha
 wanted to be a soldier I think
 will make a good one. I would ii
 to see him in his new uniform. N I received six blades and I got thr
 Bulletins. I suppose the Norwi of merchants will owe you quite a l. for advertising their business e. France: that ought to be worth som in | thing
 or As I have no more news at prese )y I will close. with love and regards al you all. from your son and brother, ,d BOB
