Centeruille Soldier Accounts For
Seven Huns in 48 Hours Action

Three times over the top without
a scratch is the record of Mural Nc
Kinney, formerly Of Centerville, now
serving in France with an American
signal corps company.
In letter to his mother Mrs. Ida
Mckinney, the soldier tells how he
went through hell and came out
again." when the American troops
launched terrible attack against the
Boches.
The letter follows:
Dear Mother, Dad and Kids: No
doubt you are thinking l am bumped
off somewhere, but never worry as
long as you don't hear any news, be
cause it isn't always possible to write.
I'VE have been through hell and out
again in the last few days and l sure
consider myself lucky. Three times
over the top in 48 hours and not q
scratch. If this war lasts for two
years l don't believe we will ever see
a hotter battle field than this one we
went through. We went over at a lit
tie after a. m. the first time, and the
Smelling was so heavy that our eyes
were filled with dust. You could hear
nothing except the sound of guns and
bursting shells, but Is was sure grand
and would not have missed it for the
world.

see the Germans fleeing for their lives,
except those who remained in pits
and begged for their lives. They are
all tired of the war, most Of them be-
ing mere boys, and as soon as their
officers retreat they give themselves
up. In one German machine gun nest
they fired GU us till their ammunition
ran out and then came out and cried
"kamerad!' 'Kamerad!' However, we
soon made short work Of them. There
is no mercy for these kind of Germans.
We advanced SO fast that they had no
time to take their guns with them, and
our artillerymen turned them around
and fired them the other way.
Going Was Sure.
The second time over we didn't go
quite so fast, but our going was sure.
On the right of us unit captured
whole trainload of Germans coming in
to help the other out. The second day
and third time over l did not go very
far. We set up a wireless in an open
wheat field about 400 yards from the
line, and each time the Germans shot
it down. All afternoon of the second
day myself and eight of my comrades
lay in two by six pits we had dug in
the field while aeroplanes showered
us with machine gun bullets and the
German 88's, the Germans most pow
erful small gun, showered us with
shrapnel, and how we ever came
through without scratch l can't see.
I'VE are resting a little now and
hope to be able to rest good while,
but we never know when we go back
again. One thing l am sure glad Of
we had the honor Of helping start the
Germans on this big drive-and they
are still going.
Am well and feeling as fine as can
be. so guess if I can come through
what we did l will be able to make the
rest of it all o. K. With love,
