What Our

Praises Salvation Army.

Calvin d. Hennings, who was
gassed and is now in base hospital
in France, gives a good description
OF French homes and customs in a
letter to his mother, Mrs.. May Hen
nings, 112 North Fourth street.
He compliments the Salvation
Army highly and says it is the best
thing he has found in France.
His letter follows:
well, mother, j have been in
France over year and I have never
told you much about this country.
It. isn't like the good old U. S. A.
You never see a frame house here,
for they are built OF stone or cement,
while lots of them are clay and grass
mixed, and all tile roofing. / saw
my first yoke of oxen at work over
here.
"They use the oxen to farm with.
They are too slow for me. But the
scenery is beautiful. You can climb
some of the hills here and see for
many miles.
when we are stationed in little
towns back from the front for a rest,
the billets we have l name haylofts.
The French house and barn are
joined, so that in the winter they do
not have to go outside to feed the
live stock
But the best thing I have found
in France is the Salvation Army. The
Salvation Army workers are a great
help and pleasure to the soldiers
over here. You always find them
close to the front, where they can do
the best good.
"The Red Cross is big help, too
These people give us tobacco and
many other things, free.

a nice, warm place to stay. But still

Still we don't mind 1t much, for
we know we are doing it for the good
of our country and the dear ones at
