At present I am sitting n a dug out which is not mine. But don't went you n think l haven't one, be- cause have. and good ore at that, but things are not as convenient here as some places I have been and We have to use the same candle.
 anG all the rest of the boys are like rats, in way. You see when any one runs into a place where 8 big Lunch of rats are they run for their holes. Well, when we hear shell coming we all jump and run for our dug outs.
 We had one boy hit today, but not seriously. But it is really wonderful how so many shells fall around us and no one is hit. We were up in the front line trenches where we could see the huns. Of course we did not see many of them as they are wise-they know enough to keep hid when they are facing the Tanks. We did have some battle one morning about Jay breal. Talk about machine guns and automatic rifles. Well, they were firing for all that was in them.
 We had one man killed and one wounded But the bullets sure did whiz by my head and l was not in it either as was runner and was at co1dpany headquarters. l would like fo write you a long letter, but l can't write or think of anything. just can't think of anything but dodelne shells and running around. But wier get back to rest camp l will take time and write long one.
 want the addresses of the boys that are over here. I may never get to see them, but l can write to them, and: We might by some chance meet, but it is very hard to see them as they will be one place fighting and l will be somewhere else Is Eva Atwood over here? If she is over here l would like to get in touch with her. It would be quite treat to meet any one know over here.
 Dewey writes me that he IS anxious to come over here. It is all right but when he comes over he will feel about the same as I do. Of course l would much rather be at home, but am not bit sorry I am here and would not take anything for my trip and exper- fence on the firing line. Of course, l can't tell what time my time Is con- ing. One of those big shells may come to me, but if they get me l will be long time gone.

EIGHTEENTH STREET
ROAD TO MARYSVILLE

Should you wish to take the short
road to Marysville, first find the foot
of Eighteenth street on the Sno-
homish river. Then drive over the
bridge (if the draw is closed) and
stop. You may not want to, but
you'll have to stop. After you
plough through a bank of sand you
can gain speed by walking, wading
through mud and water and swim
ming the rest of the way.
This road could be made easier
by simply expanding the small sum
of about $75O,OOO in building about
three more bridges and a permanent
road.
That trifling expenditure could be
made by the people of Snohomish
County. They don't care anything
about taxes, they have plenty of
them.
Get the county commissioners to
put a light" on the Eighteenth
street bridge, take out a long fish
line and plumb bob with you and
see how far the thing is out of
plumb But don't drive anything
heavier than a Ford across the

ties charged against our allies af-
fords him a similar opportunity.
General Pershing, cognizant of
the effect of publicity given to I'M
substantiated charges of atrocities,
took occasion last July to cable a
public message to the War Depart
ment, denying statements relative to
the atrocities charged against the
German army, which were being
made in speeches delivered by a
sergeant who had been returned from
the expeditionary forces to partici-
pate in the Liberty Loan campaign.
"Our request is directed particular
ly against atrocity statements en-
braced in soldiers letters, and we
will appreciate it if you will CO.
operate with US by observing it,"
In this connection, it is well to
note that there has been an error
made in the published story of the
crucifixion by Germans of an Amer
lean soldier named Sergeant A. B.
Cole, of East Liverpool, Ohio. A
circumstantial account of the atroc-
ity has been printed by the Saliva
ton Army as related by DR.. P H.
Howard, a member of the st. Louis
Chamber of Commerce, who visited
France to gather first-hand infor-
nation about the war DIR. Howard
was quoted as giving the story on
the authority of Private A. C. Cole,
a brother of the victim, who found
the crucified soldier pinned with
bayonets to door.
To an inquiry from the War
Department, DR.. Howard has replied
that he has Private A. C. Coles
signed statement of how he "found
his brother crucified by Uhlans, bat
tie of Ypres, July 81, 15." But if
the atrocity was committed in July,
1915, Sergeant Cole was not men,
Der of the American Expeditionary
Forces but was enlisted probably in
the Canadian Army.

bridge for you may not be able to
turn around and come back.
In all seriousness this Eighteenth
Street bridge is a monument to
stupidity and extravaganza that the
present county commissioners should
be proud of.
We had about forgotten to state
that the building of the road and
several more bridges would greatly
increase the value of acreage over on
the mud flats and Mr.. Conner of
Laconner would be tickled to death.
