Dear Sister and ALL
I'm going to try and write you a
few lines this eve. I'm well and get,

these few lines will find you all the
same.
1t gets pretty lonesome here at
times especially on Sunday when |

This country seems to agree with
me, and don't think it would be a
bad place to live, but wouldn't want
to live like these people do here.
They certainly don't get much pleas
ure out Of life. Our camp is in a
small village, and all the buildings
are built of rock, even the fences are
rock. Some of these buildings are
dated as far back as lH77, over 400
years old. The newest building in
town was built in 1868. You never
see frame building here, either rock
or brick. This country is good deal
like mother used to tell us of Norway
The people here have few head of
stock and farm little.
You've seen pictures of bur,ch Of
sheep and girl and dog coming down
the road, the girl and dog going "a
head of the sheep, well that is just
the way they do here. Everything is
old fashioned, one horse to a wagon.
You know that picture at home of a
load of hay in field, is just the way
it looks here.
This country looks lot like the

not quite as high, otherwise it is

THEY "EvACUATE" STRONGHOLD
FEAR OF BEING SURROUNDED
BY THE AMERICANS.

With the American Army Northwest
of Verdun, Sept. 30.-Ths capture OF
Montfaucon by the Americans was an
achievement accompanied by such
stupendous difficulties that the credit
due the troops can hardly be appreci'
ated without a personal inspection OF
the heights they had to storm and the
roads over which they had to march,
the strategical disadvantages with
which they were opposed and the min
imum support of artillery.
The claim of the Germans that they
had evacuated Montfaucon because of
the danger of being surrounded per-
haps is technically true. since they
were in danger of development. The
town itself lies on height overlook
ing the entire country below. 1t is a
veritable fortress and it had been
