 This is Sunday Oct ', aHJ things are ratLcr quite in this LA,sl> French Village Many AmerlcaA soldiers gan be seen walking down lhe atreats. readins ;be daily Herald which B published in Paris, this newspaper is inc Paris edition ol the New York Herald While reading the paper this morning in the office. { found under the head Of American News Items, something that interested me very much. i. was the enclosed clipping, which tells aEout the men at homo doing work on the New Highway. When read this | knew who some oi these men were. so I pictured in my mind Al Reynolds, Dick Morris. Wll lGllis Dave Burgauer. Clarence Homer Judge S A. Buchanan. Hary JoAes and also that great little Good Road Enthusiasi" Bobby Jones' all out there on that highway shoyelling gravel making the road in good condition, SC they could violate the Arkansas speed laws in taeir "Hudsons" while Dr. Jno S Wood brings up the rear in his littl Henry"
 We'll Doug. l suppose you wonder why l don't write something concern ing the war but this is strictly pro l hihited by the rules of Mall Censor | ship, so all l can tell you is. that t1e Germans are running like "Old Rose bud" ana it won, be long until tn, end then we will all come home, whicl We think will be about next May. l hope you are well. also the rest 0 my friends, as for myself, am feelin. fine, The American soldiers are wei taken care or overhere, they hay plenty to eat. and plenty to wear. an' it is remarkable to see how few O 1 them are home sick, Of course. the, would rather be home. than Aere. Du they all seem 10 realize. that they hav l a duty to perform in helping to de | feat Germany, and to make the wcrl, safe for Demo cracy: when not on du,. they can be heard singing We won go home till it's over. overhere." whil some of the more serious ones sin' There is no place like Home" but w all sing 'I wonder how tue Old Folk are at Home?"
 suppose the old town is rathe dead now. because of the absence O so many men who have gone to wa | but it will certainly look good to q. | when we return. X Sentinel Recort wonld also look good to me, 90 0e surl ! to send it to me.
 Tell Sam Davis that said he is ih' Curly Brown" Of Hot springs. ant that | will tell him all about the Ger man Gas" when | return. also tel Tom Doherty that will tell him Q, about crossing The Big Pond whel { return. Doug. 1 would rather be lh' Lone wolff" of Hoj springs. than the LION OF PARIS Give my re. gards 10 all the bunch
