Burnham, barber and hotel prophet
Or Corporal Burnham gives an ac-
count of the doughboys from their
sailing up to August 9th, this year,
which is very interesting. Read it:
Harvest is on here and the wheat
crOD is good Fortunately the ground
which we captured from the Huns In
July was covered with wheat, har-
vested and shocked, ready to be gar
nered and which helped some.
| am going to tell you something
Of a doughboy's life since coming to
France. We sailed from the United
States in December, 1917, on the
Levethan or Vaterland, and landed
On the north coast Of England ON
Christmas Eve. We remained in
England two weeks and then crossed
the English channel and landed in
France. I never will forget the trip
across the channel; it is the roughest
place N the world and I lost every
hing ate for month, it seemed
to me- | would rather have been on
the hurricane deck of the worst
honchO in Montana than on that old
boat in the channel.
After arriving from our rough ride
We remained in a small town for a
lew days and then entrained for a.
french training camp; we were on
the train two days and night. We
renamed at the camp for a fortnight
and there is where our old division

pack with heavy losses, for our ar
Cliiery never let up their murderous
llre with heavy barrages that fell in
Dehlnd the enemy so that thew could
not get back to their trenches and
meanwhile our machine gunners and
rllle men cut them down like flies.
We completed one more turn of
service IN the trenches up there and
then were relieved. We would get
one hot meal every night and have
corned beef, or monkey meat as the
boys would call it. Once in a while
the Huns would shell our "chow''
party and if they made hit we were
out OF luck for something to eat for
about twenty-four hours. After be-
Ing relieved we went back to a little
town and secured new clothes and
scrubbed up.
Well, the Fritzies were not salts
tied with their lot, so they tried to
march on Paris-fought hard for
four days-and then Gen. Foch start
ed his little surprise party for the
Kaiser and his sauer-kraut eaters.
Our division and one other crack
American division was loaded on to a
truck train and taken close to where
the Huns We're trying to break
through. We remained in big
wood the first night and day, and on
the second night we marched into the
trenches ready for action. The French
had their artillery in place and VIC
moved ours up without gun pits be-
ing dug. At four thirty-five a. NJ,
every French and American gun
belched forth a terrible hail of
steel and a veritable hell-fre on the
Enemy lines; the light artillery was
.ralned on their front lines and the
six inch guns played on their bat
,eries, and soon had them out of ac-
ion. Every gun opened fire as if
one man had set them off at the same
ime, and five minutes after the ar
illery was in action the doughboys
vent over the top, and believe me, as
ar as one could see, their was line
# olive drab colored boys that were
resistibIe-couldn't be stopped
wen though the Huns had hundred |
machine guns pouring a hail of cold
teel into us. Our tanks moved on
he machine gun nests and put them
,ut Of action in quick order. We ad-
for four days without stop,
md held what we took on the fifth
lay, and then the Scotch Highlanders
anne up and relieved us that night
o we are in what we call rest camp
r a quiet place.
I see that the British and French
re making big drive on the old
ront where we helped stop the enc
ny last spring.
We have our replacement; men
rom Ohio, and we are drilling back
ere because the new men need some
ractice in throwing hand grenades
nd automatic rifle practice.
Hoping to hear from you in the

Sincerely yours,

New Questions Ahead

The Senate proceedings bring out
the fact that at the end of the war
we are likely to have a merch ant
fleet larger than that of any 9th er
country in the world-.a different
relative position than the one we
held at the beginning of the war.
This fleet will be very largely owned
by the Government, and it is a
problem that must be decided as to
whether we are going to sell the
yards, lease them, or to operate
them under Government ownership,
Government ownership crops up in
every industrial problem.
Another immense problem con
fronting the Government and the
country, affects the manufacturing
plants and other establishments
created for war purposes, the
machinery for which may or may
not be available for after war pro-
duction, 1t is likewise considered a
subject for the immediate present
to decide what we are going to do
with the millions of war workers
now so busily employed who will
find themselves out of employment
when peace has been declared. 1t
appears imperative that the Govern
ment must take some action TO pro
tect its war workers. The Govern
ment has an endless number of
buildings now being used for ex.
elusive war purposes, and it must
be determined what is going to be
done with these buildings. What
also is to be done with the houses
the Government has provided for its
war workers? Surely all this vast
equipment must not detericate or
60 in the scrap heap At the same
time the Government cannot always
do it ALL" Private initiative must
return to bear its burdens, for it is
very clear that cooperate industry
will not solve the problem and a
wise modern philosopher gives this
reason: Because inevitably the
few must always lead and the
many must follow. which renders
just cooperation impossible of
realization until human nature it.
