disposed Of nicely, so all Of us have
more leisure. The proper place for n
German, I hink, Is under ground and

Is where great many OF them are;
others are in convenient prison camps
No doubt you have been keeping up
with the late hghting where the Ger
mans were headed toward Germany.
My organization and my company
helped In starting them in that direc-
tion and they are still going. My men
did fine and I'm proud OF them. We
have had e great many casualties in
killed and wounded, but In every case
more Germans have been killed and
more prisoners taken by us than our
casualties amounted to. | have had a
great many narrow escapes but, you
