three sons in the service The letter
Gives d graphic account Of an action
which took place recently on the field
Of battle.
France, October 3, 1918.
Dearest Mother There has been
some big doings since ! wrote to you
the last time We have been IN one
of the biggest battles Of the war
and really captured our front Of the
Hindenburg line
On the night Of we were a
short way behind our present front
enjoying the comforts left in the
trench to our late departed Brother
Boche, when the order came that we
were to take town that the Hun
said was his. AS supply sergeant, |
had to hustle around and get gre
nades, ammunition and smoke bombs
for our attack. When they were is
sued to the company we bagan to file
slowly and quietly out Of the trench
and down a little ravine towards
No Mans Land.
There was slight fog in the low
places with quite bit of gas mixed
in with it, but not in strong enough
concentration to make it necessary
for us to wear our gas masks We
marched around hills, seeking the
low places and avoiding skylines so
that Fritz couldn't see us. And after
what seemed a week we neared our
lines, which we called our jumping
off place." We had passed lots and
lots Of dead Boches. They had been
unable to bury them in their hasty
retreat.
AS we were lying in the grass and
dugouts waiting for the Zero hour

Quietness and peace which seemed
To be everywhere. Our artillery had

usual course by lighting up the sur

lights, when all of sudden one of
our machine guns, operated by some
corporal who was over-anxious to
get 'shis,7 turned loose with his rata
tat. This seemed to set the whole
world loose, and cur artillery opened
up one Of the incest little barrages
which / have ever seen. The ground
out in No Mans land ahead of us

sea, SO intense was the fire. One

Upton COUNTY BOYS
GO OVER THE TOP

We make the following extracts
from a very interesting letter lately
received by Mr.. w. N. Hunt from
his son, Jesse G.. Hunt, who with viii
Hopper, another Tiptenian, has lately
been in active service on the firing
line in France:
France, October 4, 1918.
| know you have read the papers
and have seen what we did in our
last battle. | went into the front
line trench September 28. Went
over the top Sunday, September 20.
Spent all that day in No Mans Land.
Came out to the reserve trenches
that night and was called back to the
front again Monday morning for re-
Inducements. Would Ike to tell you
just what happened but can't. ! was
made corporal the day before the
fight We had II casualties in the
company My squad was the only
lucky one, as we didn't have a one.
Will Hopper is in my squad. None
Of the boys from Upton county were
hurt. All the casualties were from
Memphis.
Papa, you can't imagine ones
thoughts just before he goes over
the top and while he is in No Mans
Land, under a barrage of artillery
of all kinds, rifle, machine gun fire,
and all kinds of gases. All those
things come at one time.
Our objective was the Hindenburg
line. Had to cross the st. Quentin
canal, which is west of st. Quentin.
Believe me, we took W.T. we went
after, then some. | know you have
read Of the Hindinburg line and how
strong it is. There is no more Hin
denburg line.
| slept-or tried to sleep-for two
nights in dugout in the line There
were IA dead Germans in the dugout
with VIII Hopper and myself You
can't imagine how hard it is to pass
your friends that are wounded, or to
see them lying dead all around. The
only consolation we have is to leave
more dead Germans that we do our
comrades. The FIGHT started at Belli-
court, near St. Quentin. The Prus-
sian Guards, or the Kaiser's best
troops, were against us; but you can
rest assured that they were whipped
good in every way they tried to fight.
MY gun was the first one from the
company into action. We advanced

DON'T LET YOUR BOY DROP
WAR RISK INSURANCE

Some soldiers and sailors are drop.
ping their war risk insurance because
the relatives they named as bene-
ficiaries have failed to receive insur-
ance certificates from Washington.
Such action is entirely unwarrant-
ed and detrimental to the best inter-
ests Of the fighting men and their
loved ones
Because Of delay in receiving in
surance certificates, many soldiers
believe that they are paying for in
surance protection which they are
not receiving. This is incorrect.
Government insurance is effective re-
CARELESS Of the receipt of the insur-
ance certificate provided proper APP
plication has been made and premi-
ums are being paid. The certificate
is no part of the contract of insurance;
lit is merely evidence that the con
tract exists.
The bureau of war risk insurance
of the treasury department is mail
ing insurance certificates as rapidly
as possible. To date more than
two and a half million certificates
have been sent forward and the daily
output is constantly increasing
The bureau of war risk insurance
now has on its books more than $685.
000,000,000 dollars of insurance, and
is receiving approximately one billion
dollars Of new insurance every week.
1t is not necessary to write to
Washington asking for your certifi-
cate 1t will come in due course.
You do not need the certificate to
prove that you have taken out the
insurance Of to prove that you are
the beneficiary named by the soldier
or sailor.
Every officer and man in the mill
tary and naval service of the nation
has the privilege and the opportunity
of buying up to $4,000 Of Uncle
Sans insurance, This insurance is
protection for him and for those that
are dear to him-both for the pres
ent and for the future.
If you are the relative Of a man
with the colors, it is your duty to see
to it that he avails himself of this
government protection, and that when
he obtains it, he holds on to it.
Don't drop Uncle Sans insurance.
