SAW "GOOD GERMANS"
But They Were Dead, Private Gavin
 Writes.

Private. Frank Gavin, with the A. E. F, has seen a number of good Germans in France, he writes to his father James Gavin, but they are the dead ones resting in peace. He is a brother of Raymond Gavin also in ac- tive service. Private Gavin was re- gently injured in action. He writes:
 We have just returned from the front and we are out for few days rest Expect to be back anytime so I am squeezing in a few lines before we do. I have been transferred twice and am now with the 121st M. G. Btn. and I think this will be perma- nent until the Dutch are chased out
 entirely You get more news over there than we do regarding the war.
 Of course we know how things are going in our sector, but that's all The Americans have them on the run now and are going to keep them that way.
 'I picked plenty of souvenirs but had to give them away as I could not send them to you. I had a belt
 buckle marked "Gott Mitt Uns" but l had to give it away. Do you ever 1 hear from Raymond? I don't receive l any New Britain mail on account of l being transferred. If he is over here ] I am going to try to locate him. l 1T didn't expect to get into the real
 thing so quick, but I came out pretty
 lucky and 1t was some experience. l There's one thing I can say, I've seen 1 plenty of good Germans up here. l They were all resting in peace, and l that's the only way they look good.
 We get plenty of tobacco and cigar l cites over here"

GOOD REASON ID RE
 PROUD, BAKER SAYS
More Than 2,O0O,OOO Troops Abroad, President Is Informed

Washington, Oct. 24.--Coincident with the giving out of the presidents reply to Germany there was made public a letter from Secretary of War Baker to the president pointing out that there are more than 2,O00,000 men in France, acquitting themselves bravely, Secretary Bakers letter follows:
 My Dear Mir President: More than 100000 American soldiers have sailed from the ports in this country to participate in the war overseas. In reporting this fact to you l feel sure that you will be interested in the following data showing the progress of our military effort:
 "In my letter of July 1. 1918, I in formed you that between May 8, 1917, and June 80. 1918, over 100000 men had either been landed in France or were en route thereto. Since July i, 1918, authorizations by months have been follows: July, 306, 1855; August, 290,S1S; September, 261, 415; i; October 1 to 21, 131.398. Total. 989,- S16. Embarked to July, 1918, 1,019,- 115. Grand total, 2,00S,931.
 Tn our overseas operations I feel that we have good reason to be proud
  Our losses have been exceedingly small, considering the size of the force transported, and this is due to the efficient protection given American conveys by the naval forces. We also have been greatly assisted in the despatch of troops abroad by the allo- cation of certain vessels from our allies, principally those of Great Britain.''
 The presidents reply reads: My Dear Mr. Secretary: I am very glad to have your letter of this morn ing reporting tht more than 2,000,0Q0 American soldiers have sailed from the ports of this country to participate in the war overseas. I am sure that this ! will be a matter of deep qualification 1 and reinsurance to the country and that every one will join me in con- graduating the War and Navy De- partments upon the steady accom- 1 plishment in this all important appli- cation of force to the liberation of the world"
