Americans in France.

In speaking of the American
soldiers in France, Premier
.Clemenceau said in the French
House of Deputies:
"The French generals tell me
the victory was peculiarly A
merican in it's conception and eX-
ecution. am much impressed
with the magnificent discipline,
daring and bravery of the A
merican troops"
David Lloyd George, Prime
Minister of England, in speak
ing Of our soldiers, said:
1--WE know that when they ap-
pear in the battle line they fight
in a way worthy of the great
traditions of their great country
This is in itself a source of sup
port, sustenance, and encoura-
| cement to all those who with
anxious hearts are watching the
conflict going on in France"
The English and French Prime
Ministers have only expressed
the opinion Of the world of the
Americans in France. Our SOL
diers' part in the great drive a
gainst the Germans is worthy
of our great Nation. On Septem-
Der % begins the campaign for
the Fourth Liberty Loan, the
drive toward victory which it is
the part Of the Americans al
home to make a triumph and 9
success. If we do our part a.
well as our soldiers do theirs
our response will be worthy Of
our great country and of oul
soldiers and sailors. And every
good American will do his or he
best to make it so.

SOLDIERS LETTER
R. E. Ashurst With The Cana
dian Forces Writes From
England.
Camp Whitley,
Surrey Co., England
August IL, '18.

When / last wrote you L
thought there would be nothing
more of interest to write you
while here, but there are a few
things can write that ! think
will interest you.
Our camp life is not all mOnot-
ony. We have our field contests
every Wednesday, consisting Of
most of our drill exercises, and
then a ball game between the
teams of two battalions. We US
ually have two or three games
of ball every week, and that is
when we see that there are lots
of us here, for we turn out to
the games. 1t is my opinion that
after the war is over baseball
will be very popular in England.
The English people are great
tea drinkers, and they make the
best tea. / never liked tea, but
have learned to like this. They
are very poor coffee makers
though, while you people are
good coffee makers and poor tea
makers. You see l have long
been cosidered epicurean by
some of my friends, and feel free
to comment thus.
And by the way, discover
that the ladies here and in Scot
land, use paint as well as your
ladies do. l begin to wonder if
they paint in Zululand.
The worst evil that l see here
is their saloons, which are open
every day and Sunday, five
hours, with a few exceptions,
and they are patronized by the
women as well as the men. Beer
of a very high percentage sold,
as well as stronger beverages.
I. | especially consider the wet
canteen of the army an incalcu,
liable evil, as the high percentage
beer is dispensed there.
The wheat, oats, rye and bar
ley are Just now ready to cut.
You see this is far north of you
and the cool weather retards
the maturing of the crops. Lots
/ Of potatoes are raised. We rails
ed them here all around the
camp. The wheat around here
will make from twelve to twenty
bushels per acre, the rye about
twenty bushels, and the oats
from fifty to eighty bushels.
But the barley | cannot say, as
| am not familiar with that crop.
But ! am sure the wheat is
much better in the northern
part Of England and southern
part Of Scotland as the prospects
were so much better when | was
there.
We were on the rife range
