THE TANKS ARE PUTTING
 PEP" INTO THE FIGHT

w.. A. Holt writes that the Tanks nave got the Huns going.
 Dear Friend Jack: I just received your welcome letter written in June and was sure glad to hear from you While you were celebrating the Fourth of July I was on a transport in mid ocean. France is beautiful country but shot to shreds where the armies have been. It is rolling and looks al- most terraced, and the houses are hundreds of years old and every one of stone. cant tell you where I am but have heard the big shells whistle and burst within a hundred feet of me and believe me when you hear one you know what the next noise is. They come with a shriek and go into the ground about ten feet and explode and they make some hole when they burst. 1 have also seen several battles in the air and planes shot down and also have been sprayed with bullets from a machine gun in an aeroplane. I was looking at him when he started shoot: ing, it was at night; he turned his nose down and his gun began. to blaze, and bullets rained down on us and the sun of a gun kept coming back and the next night bombed us. think we have the record for hiking. We made forty miles in two days with heavy packs on our backs, guns and packs weighing about fifty pounds but came in in good shape. I was never in better health and while things are not like they are in the States we are getting along fine and ready for anything.
 I guess you see from the papers what the Tanks are doing. There is no give back to them except to give back ten licks for one. They are putting the pep and push to this war like it was never done before. When they go over the top they never come back but always get the ground that Fritz had.
 When you write MT. Northropp give him my regards. will write to him soon, also give my regards to Goerner and tell him I would appre- ciate a letter from him. I suppose he is still V. P. and G. M. What have you found in the big tunnel and when you write me tell me what you are doing and how the Blossom is banning out.
 expect there are hundred men in this outfit who know you we'll and we often talk of you.
 We'll adios until next fall (1919). Give my regards to everybody and write me soon and be sure to send papers, same address as letter.

MlONk BOYS MAKING
 GOOD IN THE TRENCHES

L. V. Corothers, who is now in ac- tive service at the front writes an in teresting letter telling of life in the trenches:
 Friend Mack:-A few lines old man to let you know I am still kicking along on terra firma, and much the same as usual. The tobacco and etc. you sent us at Camp Meade was very acceptable and appreciated by the oth- CT boys and myself. We wasted lit tie time when we hit the trail for this place, and believe me the Old U. s. is playing a stellar role over here and enlarging the scope of operations very fast, intact we are making war to win it and it takes just the dash and go of our boys to put it over on the huns. We came direct from the ship up behind the guns and their roar is in our ears all the time, we also have been under shell fire several times al ready and are getting used to it lit- tie: We, see lots of activity in the air, as enemy planes are over us every day dropping bombs and machine-gun shooting us, but no casualties yet. A hun airplane got sausage balloon last eve-went up in a blaze like atflash, but the observer jumped off with his parachute and landed safe, while our aircraft guns got one of their planes whose driver had little bad luck

 men is near at hand. We have all kinds of machine guns, helmets, gas masks and other relics which they left as they jumped out of their holes to be killed off by our boys, and the stacks of shells they hadn't time to shoot off are very much in evidence, but they are putting up fight just the same and we are not getting off by any means.
