H. B. Eastman Writes.

3 St David's Place,
 Morrison Street,
 Edinburgh, Scotland.
 Nouember 20, 1918. J. W. Pritchett, Esq- Dear Brother:
 Just a few lines to tell you I am home in Edinburgh, for 14 days leave. 1 have been in France now for close on a year and am glad to have a well-earned rest.
 You will see from the news paper which 1 have sent you that l am now a married man, and 1 am sure to have your sympathy, although it isn't half as bad as it is painted and l think l will sur vive it all right.
 The only thing regret is that thr time is so short and 1 leave for France tomorrow evening. The American boys are doing good work in France and l feel sure that Fritz is very sorry he has become acquainted with them. If they keep on doing as they have done the war should be pretty well over by Christmas, at least the fighting part of it. : 1 should have written a while ago only we are not allowed to give any news of any kind and there is not much else to say in a letter from France.
 must thank you for the papers which you have been sending me as it keeps me in touch with the boys at home.
 My home address is as above and my wife would be pleased to have a note from the lodge and my address in France is the same as before.
 Wishing the boys the best of luck and hoping to see you all soon l remain
 Yours very sincerely.
 Sapper H. B. Eastman.

pieces OF painted canvas stretched over
the top. Some of the gun pits were so
shallow that man hardly could stand
erect in them.
All was OF a makeshift character, but
there was tremendous amount OF II, SO
much that the labor of thousands Of
men must have been required.
Everywhere over the battle field was
evidence OF the completeness of the
enemy's rout. In all the machine gun
pits the guns still remain. but with
them in virtually every case were from
one to ten dead Germans. The amount
Of material left behind is enormous In

the plainest evidence of the intensity Of

The while territory back of the enemy
lines had been fairly riddled by our
guns At one place we found the wreck

II a grave. Naturally we expected TO
find II the grave OF one OF our brave
airmen. when what was our surprise to
find that the grave was that of a Ger
man instead. He was Lieut.. Hnm:r@s.
an enemy airman, and the date on the
grave board was May 10. What Is the
story of this British plane and German
grave? None of us could guess.
At one place there was complicated
system of trenches In which we took
$50 prisoners Round about were more
than a score OF dead, including the body
OF German officer who apparently had
not been scratched We assumed he
had been killed by shell shock.

worse fate than his victims who went
down with the big Cunard liner.
The commander, Captain Lieutenant
Schweiger. was proceeding from Ger
man port into the North Sea last Sep
temher in company with another C-boat.
Suddenly the commander Of the COM
panion submarine found himself ham
pered BY heavy chains OF which his ves-
sci had run foul. An instant later there
was terrific explosion which rocked
his boat.
He rose to the surface Immediately
and looked about anxiously for Schwei-
gers vessel. which failed to appear. He
cruised about several hours. but could
get no answer to his signals. In ad-
dtion he saw wreckage and oil patches
on the water. indicating that the Lusi-
tania hero" and his vessel and crew
had been lost.
He went back to the German port.
and now. after nearly a year, the Ger

many OF my garden friends OF last
year who were helpful in the work
at that time. Last year people had
to be educated up to the need for
gardening. This year they realize not
only the need for gardening but that
they must be their own gardeners.
And. as man labor on the farms is
becoming less and less obtainable the
farmers are realizing that their crops
must be harvested by women, and
they are evincing great interest in

for the state of Virginia for the land
army movement which was first es-
tahlished by our allies. and which
was inaug,Mated last summer in the
United States by land army units of
college girls who spent their vaca-
tons by working in relays for the
farmers. In Virginia. the girls OF
Randolph Macon college have been
the first to volunteer their services
this year. and 1t is expected that
other local college units will soon be
formed. Tho students OF westhamp-

consideration and Mrs. Patterson ex-
