hands with him within n mile Of
German lines.

vanced dressing station for n load
of wounded when some one pointed
me out to him as an Oklahoma boy,
and of course he stopped me and
jumped up in the car and introduced
himself and started to have n little
talk, giving all kinds of praise for
the work we've been doing. How
ever, ! suppose he thinks I'm one
H Of fellow because | cut CON
versation short and excused myself
had good reasons for doing so.
German shells were bursting I'M
comfortably near, and when that
takes place | always like 10 be on
the move.
Anyhow. he is one man who can
talk on war conditions with truth.
/ admire him for his nerve. He has
been closer than any other IAmeri-
can civilian I'VE ever seen over here.
by the way. said shells were
bursting close and to prove 1t | Will
