A. Il Was, the Youth Probably Only
Escaped lonominious Personal chas-

Prisoner Of War.

Although he was q boche we ad-
mired his audacity. He came hum

sultry afternoon, swooping from no

looms. Swift and straight as a falcon

the first balloon, a thin train Of fire
leading to a scarlet blaze and a gos-
samer wreckage. Before one could
count twelve a second sausage had
shriyeled into skin and the Hun plane
was making tracks for home.
The "Archies" had been taken by
surprise. For q moment 1t looked as

his lines. But suddenly the "Archies"
ceased firing, and it was then we saw

half a dozen fussy hens scolded him,
and a very angry and very determined
old lady came out Of the cottage to
investigate him.
She was q typical Flemish dame,
massive Of build, tenacious in charac-
ter and practical In all things. Delhi

vanced on the dazed airman. She
caught him by the collar of his tunic.
She shook her fist in his face. and she
asked him in the incisive vernacular
Of the Flemish peasant what he
meant by smashing up her house. She
ordered him to look at the mess he
had made, calculated the cost and de-
handed payment, all in a breath. She
heaped insults on him, his parents and
his airplane.
AS she talked all the glory of war
and the spirit of conquest evaporated
from the flying Hun. He shrank till
he looked like a small boy caught in
a mean theft; his airplane, with its
gaudy s~plashes. resembled a broken
toy. and he tugged ruefully at his hair,
and flushed and stammered and edged
cautiously away.
As he retired the old woman adj
vanced, and I am convinced that but
for the prompt arrival Of a guard of
grinning Tommies she would have
spanked that unhappy Teuton youth.

 Just finished writing a. letter to you when our mail arrived, your four let ters and box of candy with it. This is the first I have had from you since I was home, so read them in order. l received today also a package of socks and handkerchiefs and two letters from Tim; so you see this is the big gest day I have had since enliSting. Your packages were just fine, mother, and we were longing for something good to eat. It was amusing to read your letter inviting me home for that Christmas dinner. If you only l;nsw where I was eating. mine you would invite me to a Fourth of July dinner instead!
 I hope this spring will see the end of this war; for it sure has been a heart breaker, but Germany must be decisively beaten. Our army should be in great shape by spring and then we can come back for keeps to that good old land of ours, which we know is the best on earth.
