 In letter from France, dated June 7th, AlWyn M. Rees, the son of Rev. and Mrs. L. Rees writes: You have no doubt read of the latest Boche at tack. We have done our part in eVacuating hospitals in the rear. We are now at our third hospital after having completed the evacuation of two others. The first five days we worked very hard, having scarcely any sleep and not much time to eat. At present things have slackened up and there is lulf in the great battle. The saddest part of the whole thing to me was to see the civilians on the road. Some had horses and wagons, or oxen, but the majority had only some kind of u hand cart or wheel barrow and were taking away just mt npno would see an old man hauling a cart and his poor old wife leading a COW, and that would be all that they had been able to save out of what was once their peaceful, prosperous home. 1 often wonder if the people in America understand what the war means. They see pictures in the pa pers of the refugees on the road, and perhaps say, "Too bad," but when you actually see these poor, wander ing, homeless refugees your heart aches and your feelings are not kindly towards the authors of all this misery. But in spite of all that has happened since the 21st of March the Boches will never win. You can see it and feel it everywhere The wounded brought back from the trenches and the men going into the firing line all say the same thing. Although the Boohes are, in some sections, where they were in 1914, they are licked and they will soon know they are licked if they don't know already.
