 BY THE B0CHES

Messrs. L. D. and F. E. Ryus are in receipt of letter from their cous-
 n. Major Harmon D. Ryus, Of Los An geles, Calif.. now with the Automobile Corps in France. Among other things Major Ryus says:
 IL seems ages since left home, and l nope this year will see the end oi this beastly business. We are go- ing into the front line again very soon. It seems hard to have to move this kind Of weather. It is very cold and showing must of the time now. The roads are blocked with snow and the water is frozen night and day.

 Word has just come in that in a re- cent raid by the Roche on a trench held by the Americans, at least twen- ty Germans had captured lone Amer ican. They cut his throat and other. wise mutilated his body. Our men found his body when they chased the Germans out. You can guess what effect this sort of thing has on our men. We have taken several prison CTS and they all seem to be such young boys. Personally I feel like shooting everyone I see. You may rest assured that am going the limit 10 do my bit and help end this suffer- ing.
 ! The Germans are putting women and children and old men out of their homes and putting their horses and wagons into those homes The wealth CT is beiow zero so you can guess the suffering of those poor people. I do nope America is beginning to realize what q horrible bunch these Boches really are. l can assure you the above is fact and not story.
 We are surely up against the real thing and are going to spend lot of wonderful men before this thing is over These men are really wonder ful and they seem so glad to give all i they have (their lives) to get chance at the Roche, and I do know that this division will go the limit No doubt the casualty lists will be published by the time this reaches you, all of which i is not q very pleasant line of Christian talk so please forgive me.

More Success for Allies.
The land fighting last night brought
success to both the British and the
French. In the case of the former
the action took the form of a counter
attack in the ground the Germans
took yesterday in the sector of Al
bert, northeast of Amiens. Field Mar.
shall Haig's troops gained a complete
victory, restoring the positions intact,
and capturing some prisoners.
The French success was 'still more
important, as it resulted in a net gain
in ground for the allies On the Somme
front. In 4 intense operations, her.
aided by q brief but heavy bOnlbara-
ment, the French captured Grivesnes
Park, five miles north of Montdidier,
and held their own there against coun,
ter measures by the Germans, taking
ESQ prisoners during the fighting.
The Germans had held an important
section of this park which 'adjoins the
town Of Grivesnes, on the east, ana
is just to the north OF the sector
where American troops have been re.
ported fighting in the Picardy battle.
II Enemy Forces Broken UP.
latest reports indicate the German
fort in the north was Of great
strength, but the British artillery OF:
the east and a French infantry attack
and a barrage on the west broke UP
the enemy divisions waiting to join
the attack. AS a result, only two di-
Visions attacked on the &scant five
miles between Voormezeele and La
CHtte. After much heavy fighting,
these troops had gained some igroune
but sustained heavy losses. Berlin
reports the capture of 675 Anglo
French troops in successful attacks.
Allied airmen have taken, advantage;
Of improved weather conditions to
drop many tons Of bombs on railway
and concentration centers behind Ger
man lines. In air fighting, British
aviators have accounted Tor 20 Ger
man machines, 20 Of which were de-
stroyed. One enemy plane was
brought down by rifle fire.
