Paris Newspapers Permitted to Announce Promotion to
 Be Made Today

Paris, November 25.-The afternoon papers were permitted to announce to- day that the cabinet tomorrow would promote General Eduard Decurieres DeCastellnau to be a marshal of France
 General DeCastellnau was born in 1851 and saw his first military activity in the -Prussian war where he won the rank of captain. After the war he rose gradually in rank by reason of his remarkable military intelligence and ex- eeHtive capacity until in 1909 he was made general and became the collab- orator with General Joffre on the gener- al staff.
 When the present war broke out Gen eral DeCastellnau was given command in Lorraine, and with his Iron division" sanguinarily defeated the Germans at Nancy. For this operation he became popularly known as The Savior Of Nancy"
 In 1915 General DeCastellnau was ap- pointed chief of staff which post he held until December, 1916, when 1t was abolished. Several times there have been reports that General DeCastellnau was to be made marshal. When he relin- auished the post of chief of the general staff the chamber of deputies by special decree permitted him to remain on the active list of the army. notwithstand- ing the fact that he had reached the age limit.
 General DeCastellnau has lost three sons killed during the present war.

Esau, who sold his birthright for mess of pottage. I never learned just exactly what a mess of pottage was, but if 1t was something to eat, think about all the btrthrights in our regiment could have been bought after the second day of the drive for small amount of pot tage. But as some of the officers who have been up to headquarters tell me there is considerable chance of peace soon, I will not worry you with any more details about the fighting over here. If that should prove true you see l might be home in five or six months and then I can tell you all about the different kinds of fighting I have seen.
 q imagine you people back home will have to stick up signs on your desks when we get back reading something like this. This is my busy day. If you want to tell me about the war, write it and mail it to me- But there is one thing I want to tell you--the Americans have got the Huns goat. Man to man they won't face our men. The Prussiana are just like the other Germans when they meet the Americans. When their machine guns and artillery can no longer protect them and they must meet our infantry on equal terms, the boches re- tire and they stand not on the order of their doing.
 sI arn now back in the trenches where have been for the past week or more. After the drive, when we came out of the first line, we went in reserve for about a week. Then we marched cou- pIe of days and we thought we were go- ing back to a rest camp for a short time os rest, to be re-equipped and to fill up with replacements. But instead we were ordered back to the line. and we got our replacements and new equipment as We were going in. But as we have dug outs to shelter us from the weather, get hot meals every day and don't have much fighting to dol knocked on wood when I wrote that-we are resting and are fast rounding into shape again. If another offensive is needed when we are relieved here I think our men will be ready to help Kan the Kaiser to a finish.

I have been in command of the company since that time My battalion has occupied the front line in the trenches and in the offensives ever since it has been in France and we are expecting that we may get respite soon in the support trenches. That is much easier and if we do, it will enable me to catch up on some of my correspondence which, has been sadly neglected for the past three months.
