lin that line. OFTEN some Of the sar-
walton Army girls are there and then
! it is homemade doughnuts and pie for
the men, but an officer has a hard time
getting in to get bite. This is one
place where rank cuts no ice and, in
fact, a private gets in easier than the
barred ones do. In Paris there is a
canteen that will not allow an officer
in it, and they have, soda fountain
that serves ice cream sOdas and hon
est to goodness ice cream and If you
are a commissioned officer you can't
| buy it, and if you are buck private
it costs you rs centimes. About 4
cents.
| The End. in Sight
The allies have been given renewed
confidence in final victory, for there
have been restored large areas in
France, immense harvest fields OF
grain have been recovered. All this
shows them that under single COM
mand, working toward denfinite end,
victory will come which will forever
make another war like this impossible.
Not that the hun is yet beaten, but
the beginning of the end is nearer by
far and it means that the allies need
only carry on" .,,,.

I just got letter from C. H. O.. to-
day and l am transferred from infant
try to chemical warfare service, so /
am no longer an infantry officer, for
} which l am duly thankful. The G..
wv. S. is going to be big thing be-

opportunity of seeing a little more
action than I had as an infantry OIL

do not know what the word on the
sign, sent you means and therefore
cannot tell you. All know is, I took

it along with the rest of the stuff, l
started on the way. sent some more
today, a fuse from a heavy she'll
French fuse, base from a Tim and a
106mm hun shell, two hun hand gren-
AIDES with fuses which are dead. THESE

A. F. b.. The material in which they
are wrapped is paper cloth used by
the hun in place of real burlap, quite
a strong fabric and serves very well
for sandbags, etc. 1
We are having a little rest after the
fracas, and getting squared away for
another rap at the hun. Gee, this last
stunt was more of foot race than a
battle. I went past the first wave OF
infantry and did not know was there.
lost my direction and thought was
going east while in fact l was headed
north as straight toward the huns as
could travel. However, soon found
out my mistake and beat it. do not
know where the next show will come
off, but l suppose we will be there
with the bells on, as we always seem
to go where there is something doing.
l have talked with people from the
reclaimed districts and they are sure
glad to get from under hun rule.

know, means gas, and as have been

w. S. after the service was organized.
It puts me in class by myself, and
my job will go blooy after the war, as
I do not think there will be any use
