BRITISH BATTLE POSITION
 IN FRANCE IS GRAVE
london Papers Consider This ths
 Critical Hour of the War. /

London, March 25.-(German Of fensive) The official reports of last night represent the battle position in France as undoubtedly grave The newspapers recognize this. but do not attempt to appraise the situation or prophecy the course of events. They consider this the critical hour of the war.
 The German seizure of Chauny may compel the withdrawl of the French lines in order to preserve contact and alignment with the British. Much rests on the use of the allied "army of. manoeuvre." organized by the Yer sailles conference which may prove the decisive force of the battle.
 The Daily Mail saws that if Field Marshal Haig's report that the Ger mans broke through west of St. Quen. 1 tin uses the term broke through" iI the generally accepted military sense | 1t is serious, but that time alone car show the correct interpretation.

 Somewhere in France.
 Feb. 27, 1918. Dear Folks:
 I received three letters from you last night, dated Jan. 21st and Feb. 9th. Today 1 am having great time trying to answer letters.
 I have forgotten when I wrote you last, so do not know what I have told. Say, if I answered all the questions you ask. I would have to have pass for a week and do nothing but write to you. Now I would like to do that but I know 1 cannot get that week off, so you will have to, be held off with what can remember.
 I think I told you before that I had been made stable sergeant of the ma chine gun company and have charge of thirty mules and six horses. It is my duty to see that they are fed and taken care of. I have 24 two-wheel carts with one mule in, two four wheel wag- ons and one two mule wagon. Five of | the horses are saddle horses; the otter one goes on the ration cart which takes up the grub every night. l We are allowed seven more mules but the supply company is short of mules and we can get along without | them on a pinch. am allowed a saddle mule. have a dandy one sometimes. Once in while he takes lit into his head and goes any place he wants to. We'll I go with him-if stay on him long enough.
 When the company are in tht trenches | have to stay back at ths base and see to my pets. Not near al exciting as the rest get. I had mine lat that. I have to go with the waGSon every night and believe me it wa rather warm along the road at that I wish you could have seen me tryiDi to put on my gas mask one night. bet it had movies you ever saw skin ned mile. It went on any way.
 also have the masks for the mule now. I do not know how they go ol , and I'll be hanged if I can find anyon , that does. I guess with the Yanke . ideas I can find out somehow. This camp where we are now is } lnice quiet place. Nothing doing.
 have a small house with two othe llads and a home made stove. Las might whenSw we started the fire we ha : to put on the gas masks or move ou l l >l While I think of it, I have mor clothes than I need. and they ar
 warm ones. The government furnish
 es enough and the winter is gone, ( r will be before you get more here. g thank you for the gloves and stocking s The gloves came in handy, for I loi t lmine the day before. You speak { e jhardships. I bet we have not had z n hard times as some of the poor peep ,. in the states. We may get them ye 0 We had a big. turkey dinner Monds e might. It was planned for Washing e tons birthday, but as usual the Adam : Express company was let in gettir e the goods here. I think I have write Il you about the boys going in u trenches and coming out without u e loss of a man--not even one hur f Hurrah! They also got great honor f d what they did. I wish I dared to tt
