WRITES INTERESTING LETTER

when the thing stopped and we stay
ed up on the front a week or so after
the armistice went into effect.
l might tell you a little about the
drive, but there is so much that l
cannot go into detail. When we left
Rambervillers (where we were held
in reserve) we all thought there was
going to be something doing, but Of
course did not know. We rode from
8 o'clock in the afternoon until mid
night and landed at a little town by
the name of Bannancourt, which is
about one-third the distance to Yer
dun from St. Mihiel on the railroad
running between these two towns. We
unloaded during the night as all
trains had to be on account OF the
Boches flying over with a few rounds
Of machine-gun ammunition to spill
on US, and we knew what that meant.
All lights had to be kept out as any
thing that looked like a movement
of troops would attract attention. At
night the Germans would often be
attracted by lights and would fly over
and drop flares which would light up
the district as bright as daylight, and
of course if it happened to be a truck
train or a column of soldiers, it
meant a dive down and a few machine
gun bullets or a few bombs. We were
lucky though and nothing happened.

Dear Folks: Although very busy

tonight. l wonder what you are all
doing tonight and what you are think

worrying. We have a lot of work
before us before we can go back and
there are lots of boys who have had
a harder time or have been owe here
longer who deserve to go back long
before us.
Well, l am located in the little
town of Mussy-sur-Sein, in the divis-

here for quite a little while and are

STILL THE WELCOME

It IS With pleasure that The Herald 8rinted, Saturday night. two letters rom individuals in town, one a work nan, the other a soldier, giving their AespectiVe attitudes upon the "We1- aome Home" plan. We feel that we lave very good idea of the feelings a soldier, We had a little experience
 h that line ourselves; now we are sndergolng the sensations of the Eorkman. We do not entirely concur With the sentiments expressed, how ayer If all of the soldiers feel as our Correspondent does there will be no Selebration. We repeat-without the Ehole-hearted support of every local #l1litary man the thing will fall flat S is up to him to put it over, or let it 8Rll, as he sees fit
 Two days of celebration are proper though. We certainly should do to observe our return and The people off, the city wish to do 8omething to show us that they ap- sfeciate what the soldier did. True, \ e is to be given a token, in the shape sf a badge, the actual worth of which as negligible, true he is asked to per form, but why shouldn't he? It is living the home folks pleasure. It hay be no fun for him. If, followinc 2; but the idea of the writer of the com- Rnunication, the sum of $40,00O should be distributed amongst the returned snen there would be a little more than len dollars per man. Is not the sol ! fer willing to forego that sum for the pleasure that he is going to give his folks? Unless his greed entirely over-
 Reighs his judgment, we believe he is.

 The same thing is true of homes as a barometer of thrift and content ment.
 They are a good sign, an evidence of the sort of spirit which boosts d city and makes it count.
 The writer has in mind the father of large family who, only by dint of the most careful management and continuous work, can make both ends meet.
 It is the height of his ambition to own a home of his own"
 He even has the temeritY to think he could build it himself if he only had the capital.
