To My Sweetheart
SOLDIER
Every irlshOuId Read
These Wonderful
Letters.

Dearest
Never again shall doubt the
efficacy Of prayerI The answer
to.one came to our very doorstep
today. AT the ringing Of the bell
] opened to Ceely and Jerry-a
faithful colored couple who served
US long ago. They had to leave
when an aged parent in the South
grew too old to work. The parent
since has passed to labors in an
other world and Ceely and Jerry
have returned to US. Their faith
in our friendship was so secure
that they knew If we hadn't a
place for them we would find one
among our friends. But OH / am
50 glad to have them-Mamnly has
grown tired, and the work presses
heavily upon her. in spite of all
that ] can do. Now with Ceely
and Jerry. the problem is solved,
and there is no one in all the
world that L would sooner trust
my Justin Edwards to, as nurse,
than Ceely. The time is growing
short, now, and soon I shall hold
my Justin Edwards in my arms.
OH How impatient ami How
long to feel his little body against
my heart! How / long to have
his tine Baby fingers curl around
my own. From his first con-
scious moment he shall hear of you
II shall pray that he may be like
you. Il God will only join my
love, with your strength and honor
and truth, in the character Of one
baby son, / shall feel that my be-
ing is justified. My little son! My
little War Baby! / have tried TO
make his heritage one Of nobility
and not Of woe. / have tried. to
teach him the beauty of service
and the dignity of painl
He must be like you, dearestl
How would it be otherwise when
my ever waking and dreaming
thought is of you? Your face is
always before me-your brave
smiling face, and your eyes that
know no fear. And your soul
shines through, and I know that
honesty, the splendid transparent
honesty which is the expression Of
your life in every relation, is the
highest human attribute in ali the
world. Isn't that a wonderful
heritage for my son? Do YOU
wonder that walk proudly
through these days? Do you not
see why my hope cannot fail, and
whysnO ache of loneliness is allow
ed to tarry long in this soul Of
mine which is the waiting temple
Of a coming spirit? There is
answer to our hope in all around
US. In the sunset and in full
noon; in the beauty after rain, in
the triumphant glory o. the even
ing sky, God gives US hope. Even
in storms, and tumults, God
neither slumbers nor sleeps.
Tonight we had a mighty show
'er- The thunder roared and the
lightning played upon the streets
of snow. In the north are clouds
of midnight black-but in the east
one star shines bravely through
the riffs. Star of hopey Forever
fixed and changeless-the shad-
ows fall in vain, clothed in ths
majesty of endless days it shines
forever on the restless world And
the figure of our Christ-patient
in storm as well as calm--lOoks
out upon the world in blessing
an answer to our prayers--a rea-
son for our hope-an anchor for
our faith forever more. The same
star is over you, beloved. May it
carry you my message of love,
may it be to you the emblem of my
faith-shining for you in un-
broken radiance down through the
years Of all your lie.

PARIS, FRANCE. September 2.-In
the course Of the last few days have
visited number Of Paris hospitals,
where have seen and talked to some
of the wounded men.
"One of the toughest scraps we
| have yet SEEN"
This Is the unanimous verdict Of
the wounded from last weeks attack
| at Juvigny, north of scissors, the
taking of which made precarious the
whole German position on the vesle.
The wounded from this battle are
just beginning to reach Paris. Tho
slightly wounded are coming first. as
the more serious cases are kept longer
in the evacuation hospitals.
| The Americans saw heavy fighting
in the Chateau Thierry salient, but,
according to their accounts, Juvigny
was quite different.
Do Not Like to Fight Boys.
| There" said a Detroit boy, "the
| boches ran after a little while, and
ran so fast that we could not keep up
with them. Here they stuck to it, and
the only ones I saw running were
those who came toward US with their
| hands in the air. I hear that we took
| 200 prisoners who, for the most part,
were boys of seventeen or eighteen.
l do not like to fight such young mon,
| and could never kill one If could
| make him prisoner"
| All the wounded, including even the
! serious cases, since the allied often
s1ve Is going SO well, are In capital
spirits and are overhowtng with sto-
ries Of how the Americans put the fear
of God into Heinie. Corp. Carl Burn
ham, an infantryman. who was born
in Chicago, but now has his home in
Vermont, was wounded July 18 in a
successful attack near scissors. He
has gunshot wound in his right
elbow and lies with his arm suspended
from an apparatus in sunny ward.
1T takes long time" he said. "but
I am getting on all right. Whenever

Fritz ran, and then feel better"

Private Paul vogel, infantryman, age
twenty-one, whose home Is on East Oak
street. Rockford, ILL.,, received a sec
ond wound in an attack near sois-
sons. The first time he was wounded
was at the taking of Cantigny, last
May. This time," he says, Il stopped
two machine gun bullets with my
back and Leg He feels quite cheer
full and expects to be out in three
weeks.
Private John L. Meade, age thirty-one,
an infantrynan. living, when at home,
at 1858 Early avenue, Chicago, was
gassed near Amiens on August 9. He
was then fighting with the Austria
lians. They were dandy fellows" he
said. Meade and his companions came
into a little valley at daylight, where
Germans saw them and aimed gas
shells at them. Meade sprained his
ankle, fell into shell hole full of
gas and could not get out. He sat up
in bed and spoke eagerly when I saw
him.
"I am practically over the gas" he
said, "and only my ankle Is keeping

regiment. Too much is going on there
and l hate to miss it"
