CHARLES DE VREESE is

SHELL WOUND IN FOOT

The first information that Mrs NJ
DeVreese of All w. South St, re-
ceived of the wounding of her son.
Charles. who is a member of the
French mortar battery of the
American first army division, was
through a letter from him that he
wrote Oct. 27 He was wounded in
one foot in battle on oct. 1. In
later letter written Nov. 4, he says
he was still in the hospital and un-
able TO walk except with the aid OF
crutches. He appeared very cheer
ful and was Of the opinion that his
wound would not permanently dis
able him.
Evidence of the high respect Ger

COPY of the Paris edition of New

mother of Pvt. DeVreese in one Of
his letters:
From a captured officer of the
/ German army comes a remarkable
tribute to the fighting prowess OF
the first division of the American
troops. whose work will go down in
history as among the most remark
able of the war.
He declared that the Germans
did not believe the Americans could
produce within five years a division
| such as they had found the first di-
vision to be. The German, when
taken. had seen four years of severe
lighting. This is what he had to say
yesterday:
