June 50 19lS.
 Dear Folks: Your letters came yes- terday and was certainly glad to get them Our relief came at last, and "Oh, Boy, what a grand and glorious feel ing" to get back behind the lines where everything is a little easier. Yesterday we all went down to the Marne for a swim A camel didn't have anything on us during the month of June for going without water. I cer- tainly was glad to get out. While it was strenuous, the thing that got our goats was waiting for the one shell that was for you. Barrage after bar rage we went through, and all one could do was to lay on the ground and wait. Waiting was the only hard part chine gunners to act, one's mind was occupied and his only thought was to keep that gun going Many funny things happened
 German officer was captured. In his examination he said since his force opposed the Americans he had passed the most miserable nights | since the start of the war.

We sure have them bluffed. The word Marine" is poison to them. They call us 'Teufel Hundes." rney | have a reason for it, too. We sure gave them trimming that they won't soon forget. The prisoners l say that if they knew what treat I ment they would get from us notn- ing could hold them from surren- | dering. There was one rase for in- ! stance: A young lad, not over 16 | years, was brought in throug!, our i positions, He was wounded, poorly l fed, and in rags, and one could read 1 terror in his eyes. We redressed l his wound, and gave him a cigar | cite. At first he was afraid to take the smoke, but after he saw all 1 was right, he melted. I have never seen lad so appreciative. The morale of the German forces ap- l pears to be very low They are bau- ly in need of food and clothes. The French certainly are glad to ses
