1t is a great comfort to have faith in
God and also to have clear con-

they would not be disturbed until the
end of the war. About the best thing
I've seen in the way of souvenir

was a small German revolver to chase
some of our Palisade burglars away.

Last night there were two peculiar
stars in the sky. They twinkled more
than the others and would change col
ors-red, white and blue The whole
company was out looking at them for
hours. This morning we woke up with
the wonderful news that the Germans
agreed to all of President Wilson's
terms and will evacuate all invaded
territory. Isn't that strange?

Dear Mother-You ought to feel
quite proud to be the mother of two
sons who are offering their "all'' for
just cause-tO destroy militarism and
make the world a safe place for real
people to live In. I think the time is
not far off when all people are going
to enjoy peace, when international
brotherhood shall prevail. Then the
millions of lives shall not have been
lost in vain. We are in position to
go to church on Sunday and ask God
to end this terrible war which is caus-
ing, so much suffering all over the
world. HARRY.

There is fine understanding be-
tween us and the French, we like the
British "Tommies," and the Anzacs
say, "Give us the Yanks beside us and
we'll take anything"
Very few people in civil life realize
what the army Y. NJ. G. A. means to
the men. Even the toughest of them
have nothing but praise and respect
for it and for the men who are rum
ming it.

"Met Harry Elkan yesterday for the
first time since in France. He was

Mother Natures sod when felt a
gallop on my back and on turning
around discovered Sergt. Glenn Hacker
buried under his pack. How are you?
Fine Where are you staying?
Here See you again. So long And
off he trotted with his company. I
have not seen him since Also bumped
into Walter Flack and had long talk

You will want to know how my in
juries occurred, so will tell you brief
ly. During the battle between Cambria
and st. Quentin, where we broke
through the Hindenberg line, the Ger
mans sent out smoke barrage so
thick that it was impossible to see. l
got lost and with IA others found my
self in front of the machine gun nests,
which we put out of action in time.
Then, thinking our comrades had gone
on ahead we entered the nest and had
