somewhere in France. Needless tt
say enjoyed it. Well we are still
kicking the Kaiser's dog around
say we, because am helping to haul
i the men and supplies to the front to
do the job. Without my line of ser
vice the best fighters in the world
could accomplish very little. Some
times ! wonder what they do with ali
Of it.
Since the last letter / wrote you
we have had two grand successes
lately, first the advance, of 80 to 40
kkilometers at Chateau Thierry where
the Americans, jointly with the
French, saved Paris. The French
people went wild with joy. That was
our first real battle where the Amer
leans had a chance to show what they
are made of. In this battle $4,000.
prisoners were captured with several
guns and other war booty. This
drive started by the Germans on
July Id and on the morning of July
18th the Allies counter-attacked ad-
vancing as above. September 18th
the Americans made drive for st.
Mehiel and also to straighten out the
front on this sector. The French
gave the Americans two months to
capture this town and they did the
job in just Az hours. Our boys
pulled this stunt by themselves, cap
curing several villages and $50 square
miles of French territory, $4,000
prisoners and lots of other war ma
terial. In st. Mehiel the French civ
ilians had posters placed on the build
ings welcoming their American
to the city. The woman, old
and young, ran out, grabbed our boys
in the streets and kissed them and
thanked God to be free again. AS
you probably know, the Germans had
this town four years. Evidently they
had figured on holding this line for
years, as they had the trenches built
out Of cement and brick. Every dug
out the same and each contained a
stove to keep them warm, but the
Americans kicked them out of their
warm place and are now enjoying it
themselves. The town of st. Mehiel,
as luck would have it, did not suffer
very much from bombardment. Just
a few buildings on one edge of it. I
This relieved them of very impor-
Eant railroad center, which the Allies /
can use to good advantage. The /
Allies have the Huns going now and /
we are all tickled to death. The
spirit of the Allied army is fine and
everyone is working hand in hand for
victory. Our boys have put lot of
pep" in them and it is a question Of
months now. Isguess you have read
about the peace offensive launched {
by the Germans through their tool.
Austria, but it was turned down BY
the Allies and we are glad of it; too
many of our loved ones have lost
heir lives, as have the rest of the
Allies, to let this thing stop here.
They want revenge and must have

hat is from the mouth of everyone

will eat out Of the Allies hand before

l. l. MORRIS TELLS OF ACTION
ONBATTLE FRONT IN FRANCE

reverse in military circles they begin
to talk peace, but the Allies won't
bite. Heretofore, the Kaiser has
been feeling out the Allies, but now
I think it is getting down to a point
where he really means it. Manpower
lis beginning to stare him in the face.
He has instructed his subordinates
to save every possible soldier. He
has lost, according to figures now
out, since July 18th 10000 pris-
oners on all fronts. hope he had d
few killed ard wounded in the mean
time. 1 had the pleasure of seeing
5000 of these squareneads in one
bunch captured in the St. MehielI
drive. Near the track eight or ten
of them were working, guarded By
one Of our negroes. You could tell
from the look of that negro he
wouldn't trade his job for anything.
l said: Negro, don't you let any
of those Boches get away
Don't you worry, captain. If he
starts anything / will lay him right
down" and really believe the negro
would do as he said should one trs
to escape.
l heard joke told by the boys
that sounds just like the typical
American. In moving the prisoners
from one point to another it seemed
they were trying to get them in some
kind Of formation, and a German Of I
ficer got highly insulted because he
was asked to line up asong with the
privates. He says; Il am an Off
Ger. The guard said: "Don't make
any difference what you are-fall
inT It seems the officer didn't fall
in to suit the guard, so he called a
private out of the ranks and made
them exchange uniforms, reducing |
.he officer 'and promoting the pri-
vate. We had quite laugh over it.
! note what you say relative to the
treatment of the Germans back home.

Drutes. Nothing can repay them for
the suffering they have caused here
