Mir romrOy writes from Paris as

This Is dismal rainy sunday
evening not very Dad but Disagree
ably chilly. / came back IaSt night
10 tho $. .. s., which means the
service OF supplies, and generally
back of the active fighting. The lit
tie town | an In is Oue recently held
by the Germans and has been sub
l"Ctcd to so much bonn bLTdmcnt that
not - building Is intact and few even
uf tn" ruins are standing. | saw
thousands Of French refugees yCScT-
day on tn" road and 1t WAS Il pitiful
sight old men and women mostly
barefoot, ragged clothing. what few
lhey had little boys ana girls from
infants To- 10 years Of age, all bare
foot, most OF them with only one
garment ana ali Of them starving.
a bunch Just came in here and the
Y gave them what few supplies they
had. and -. Lord. how they ate.
never knew what 1t was 10 DO so
hungry. The Kids would actually
hck the tin from the cups to get
the last drop of chocolate in them.
'IhAAn IRIIILgtaE fTnTFt that
have recently been held by the Ger
mans and which the French and
Americans took the last few days. -
you should see these Americans
fight! Nothing can stop them. |
saw them charge up a long hill right
IN the face of WItheIInG machine
gun fire. They never wavered. AS
soon az one man fell, another step
ped into his place ana on they went
~ unConCerned as II on parade.
Iney are simply irrisistiblc, The
Germans simply can't stop them.
They have the nerve and IL is hard
10 hold them back.
And the artillery Is fine. | saw
barrlge laid down that was in
line almost as straight as could he
drawn. The French have shown
them how and they learn quickly
ana soon tNteIl. IHty sure nave tut
Germans on the run. Guess the Ger
mans did not figure on leaving soon
as they have fine siK-foot plate glass
mirrors and porcelain bathtubs In
thSir dugouts. Many were of CON
crete. | passed several thousand
German prisoners recently taken
and some OF them were not over
IA years old. All seemed disgusted
and tired. And none Of them want
to get back
You ought to see those tanks
work. They just run over every
thing. nothing stops them except the
big Calibcr guns | never thought
there were az many airplans in tho
world rs I've seen lately. and in this
branch also the Americans have
come, saw and conquered. Nothing
In this line they win not attempt
and their cunsuInmate skill and ut
ter fcarlessncss have sure discon-
cerned the RoChe. soon they will be
bombing Ecrltn. But there are luts
OF Boches left and lots of fighting yet
TO be done before they are wholly de-
feated, unless Germany acceeds
sooner to Americas peace demands
at is wonderful to see the aircraft
guns firing on u German plane over
head and II You are right under the
shell in some minutes you can hear
the pieces OF sharpnel fragments hit
the ground. Had a lot OF souvenirs
picked ,up on the field but lost them
all. viii try and get some more.
