 July 13 Dear Mother and Father:
 we are back at the front again and are having plenty of excitement. I was driving all last night and be- lieve me, it was some night First there was a heavy thunder shower and all kinds of rain. It was so dark that you could not see your hand be- fore your face. The only way YOU knew that you were on the road and there was anything ahead of you was when there was a flash Of lightning. As usual the road was filed with traf- fic, both coming and going, with dis patch riders on motorcycles lodging here and there.
 T suppose by the time this reaches you you will have learned of the AL lied push. Well, I guess the Boche have learned that there is somebody in the fight besides himself. It was too bad about Leslie Eddy and it brings war near home, but that thing happens every day here and you get so YOU look at it as a part of every day life.

Announcement that German troops
have occupied Odessa is one OF the
most significant of recent develop
meuts This action by Germany. in
spite OF the conclusion of the So-called
peace with Russia, was expected III
timately but 1t came somewhat as
surprise because of the fact that little
had been heard of the Germans and
AuStrians in that region.
The occupation of Odessa the great
est Russian port on the Black sea. is
of the greatest importance for several
reasons. First. it gives the Germans
control Of the center of great agri-
cultural section. the products of which
are desired to feed the hungry peoples
OF the central empires.
With odessa safely In their hands,
the Teutons will have access to vast
stores of wheat which can he trans

But the capture of Odessa will mean
something more-~an advance over the

women and children as against sol

are counterpart of the pitiless subma
rine war and the attack against Arneri-
can rights, are the very explanation of
the reason why America entered the
war. We are sending our soldiers to
Europe to fight until the world is de-
liyered from these horrors"
While no official announcement has
been made, the general impression
prevails that new plans of the Ameri-
can war department call for the dis
patch of American troops TO France
much more rapidly than was proposed
in the earlier plans. The indications
are that ali effort will be made to
bring the American expeditionary
force up TO a strength of approximate
ly 100000 men by the middle of the
summer. instead of 100000 men as
was contemplated by the original plans
of the war department. The dispatch
of many National army units is expect
eu SOON. III acCOFuduCc WIFI the pan
that has been adopted of forming an
army corps out of two divisions of the
regular army, two divisions of the Ma
tional Guard and two divisions of the
National army. As many units of the
National Guard are already overseas.
with the larger number of regular army
divisions, it is expected that the move
ment of several divisions of the Ma
ttonal army will follow soon.
That the movement of troops will
be more rapid than was at first be-
lieved possible is indicated by the an
nOunCement Of the war department
that the second draft. which will be
made as soon as needed legislation
can be secured from congress, will call
ont approximately 100000 men, Only
The rapid movement of many divisions
now in environments In this country
could make room for this large num-
her of new draft men. In this cOnneC-
tion it is predicted abroad that Cen
eral PerShing's men will be holding
100 miles of front by the closing days
of 1918. a longer front than was held
by the British armies two years after
the war began.

German airplanes took part in a raid

20 wounded. Among the dead was an
