dose Of mustard gas. l have four

Today being the Fourth we made

Milford, Delaware.
Dear Editor:
Please publish the following letter
in the first issue of your paper, as a
request OF the boys from Sussex now
in France.
Yours very truly,
MILLARD MACKLIN.
How the boys from good old Sus-
sex spent the Fourth of July Some
where in France"
On the morning Of July the fourth,
1918, the bugle call was sounded at
S:15 o'clock for the boys to assemble
for the parade which we were going
to have. At $3.50 we marched to the
outskirts of the village where we went
to meet our band and the rest of our
company. AS soon as everything
was in readiness we started on the
parade through the village, led by
the band, to the church green, where
special services were to be held.
On arriving at the church we were
formed in a triangle completely sur
rounding the hundreds of French peO-
pie who had gathered there from the
country and nearby towns to help US
celebrate our day Of independence.
Hundreds of children, dressed in beau
tiful costumes sang the national |
hymns of the allied countries now at |
war. Before we left the church lawn |
a little French boy about eight years |
old, dressed as an American officer, |
and accompanied by a French girl of /
about the same age, dressed in white, 4
went around and presented all the
officers with flowers. This was well
done and very pretty, too. The pro-
gram here was we'll rendered and
most certainly showed US that the
French people have a warm spot in
their hearts for the American people.
After the exercises were over we
marched out Of town to a nearby
meadow, where we had a field meet
ing and spent the rest OF tine day.
While we were marching the band
played many pieces which cheered US
up and made US feel like life was
worth living, anyway. The following
is a list Of the sports that took place
and prizes we're awarded to the win '
ners: }
Two games Of baseball, boxing and ]
wrestling matches, vaudeville, tug-of- {
var, shoe races, relay races, three It
legged races, piggy-back fights and
,auipment races. Private Truitt, Of d
Seaford, won first prize in the equip
nent race for neatness and accuracy, '
md sure showed his nerve when pitt
ed against boys from all over the B
Jnion who have seen long periods Of o
ervice. Battery A sure held her own =
nd won most OF the prizes. This i
hows what the boys from Delaware
an do. The day was q complete q
necess in every respect and was en- ,
