SbrQgue Tells of
Sa1Uage Workers

Grafton, N. D., Aug. 30.-Captain
M H. Sprague, who is in service in
France, writes an interesting letter
to his father. Capt. Sprague tells in
detail of his work in the supply de-
partment and Of the problems Of
transportation involved in getting
supplies to the armies. He writes in
part:
1.-THE country I covered has all
been in the hands of the enemy, and
trenches, barbed wire entanglements
and machine gun nests are to be
seen everywhere, in the woods, in
the, towns, in the fields Of ripe grain.
Some fields look as though they had
been untouched while others are
! trampled down, as though hit by a
100 per cent loss hail storm.
Behind us are working the older
soldiers of France, men from SO to
SIS years of age, cleaning up the
country as they go-hundreds and
hundreds of them repairing the
roads, harvesting the remaining
crops, gathering in whatever the
soldiers may have left behind
shoes, blankets, cartridges-a broken
down wagon here and there and so
on, and except for the homes which
have been sheIled almost to ruins
they make the country look spick
and span again.
