object for "strafing" by the British
airmen. Three consecutive raids upon

raiders bombs partly destroyed the

tory and the aniline department other
buildings OF the plant were wrecked.
The other factories at Mannheim have
been heavily bombed II times.
A heavy death roll has attended nu-
merous air attacks on Cologne and
Coblentz. where the Germans are be-
ing heavily repaid in their own coin
for their murderous work on London
and Paris. The factories and railway

bombed ten times by the British

HonOred by Two Nations.
Capt Curtis is one of those robust
! and courageous soldiers who prove
I the old story that courage needs no
B expression in words. He can not be
made to talk OF himself. though after

Speaking OF his men. for whom he
has no end Of admiration. Capt. Curtis
said:
Freckled Yank Gets Colonel.
They have equalled the skill Of the
FrePch and British after only a few
months OF training. and in jollity and
general morale they surpass any set
Of fighters IN the allied armies. One
little freckled faced fellow IN my
company marched an Indignant Prus-
sian colonel at the point Of his
bsyonet through clouds OF dust Just to
take some Of the excessive starch out
OF him. And when he had delivered
him to the guard he said: Gee, I'm a
hell Of a guyi got me a colonelr
The boys take a keen delight IN
hooking the haughtiness OF the cap
tured Prussian officers, who always
express divine right to receive a
conveyance to the rear lines, or, in the
absence OF a conveyance, at least an
honorable escort. Their feelings are
hurt when they are made to march
over dusty road to the tune OF Yam
kee jokes and laughter.
Peasants Frantic With Joy.
The scenes in these liberated
towns are something one can never
forget The peasants are frantic with
Joy as the allied armies take them
back under the fold OF France. Old
women cry with joy and the young
women and children throw flowers
that is what little they have-and
wave flags until their arms are ex-
hausted- It is all SO pathetic and, be

to repair their broken down homes and
till the fields and do all sorts OF work.

the different war work societies and
OF the thankfulness Of the soldiers for

A Voyage Home.
We were among the lucky ones. It
wasn't an ocean greyhound, exactly,
to which painting tender conducted
Us. but 1t was boat of considerable
dimensions that could be seen with
out straining the eye. At $3.50 we
were all aboard and then speculatiors
began as to when the mudhook would
be hoisted and the ex-mail packet be-
gin its homeward journey. Il was
Sunday. Some said she would start
that night Other better informed
characters declared we'd be lucky 10

knew anything about it, We sailed

The Big Question.
To you who have stayed at home IN

years. eating good American food
three times a day. growing at the
sugar ration or the high cost Of living,
the question Of grub" beyond swear
Ing at its price, has never appeared q
burning one.
But figure those who had been for
a year in France, or for three years.
as l was. without once sitting down to
a good American meal, with dim rec
objections that there was a country
across the sea where they still served
butter and bread without q ticket Ono
butter at meals in France. even with
ticket, where fried chicken and
cornbread were actualities and where
ice cream and cake were still more
than memories Of the past, and where
the word breakfast" meant mare
than a hunk Of suspicious looking
bread and q cup Of muddy coffee
minus both milk and sugar.
That's the picture Then imagine
that whole boats cargo OF human
freight sitting down to a table with
spotless white linen, with dusky servi-
tors. one to each six men, bringing in
soup. fried chicken and sweet pota-
toes. canned corn. real hot bread, and
topping it all off with ice cream and
lady fingers.
Food Causes Collapse.
The lad opposite me took one look
At the fare set before him and swooned.
He had been in Italy for u long
months and had grown so he could not
look a piece OF spaghetti in tile face
without blushing. He was only re-
v!ved when the waiter threatened TO
remove his ice cream and cake.
And there was plenty OF everything.
For myself, I left the table with
feeling OF stuffed satisfaction, but
thoroughly unashamed- I had done

I was more than ready to do It thrice
daily.
After dinner we were reminded OF
the disagreeable fact that submarines
still existed when we had to stand at
boat stations, smoking strictly for
hidden. until the last glimmer OF light
faded away. Had a submarine got
in its deadly work that evening. It is
doubtful If many would have been
saved. the feat OF climbing over the
ships rail being quite an imposs!-
bility in their gorged state.
A disappointment.
What we thought was the breakfast
bell the next morning turned out to
be a call to quarters. There was no
light when We assembled on deck, al
though a promise OF dawn glinted in
the east (where it should have been).
1t was slightly before 5. And there
We stood again until fun daylight re-
