small tugs darting in and out every

Friendly ones, of course,) destroyers,
hydroplanes, and in the air observa-
ton balloons and aeroplanes. 1t was
great! We nearly raj ourselves to
death, chasing from one side of the
! ship to the other, so afraid we would
miss something! Two d%estroyers es-
cortcd us from Plymouth to Havre,
which we reached at midnight Oct

| feet once more to Mother Earth. Of
course, we tried to see everything in
Havre and everything was interesting
to US; that was our first chance to use
the French money and you would have
laughed at our H'greenness"; we just
handed it out like m~illionaires and took
whatever change they care to hand us.
That night the Y. M. C. A. gave a
-
dance, to which all our party was IN
vited, and the American boys were the
happiest you ever saw to have their
own girls to dance with; it was a
pleasure to watch them.
We were in Havre until noon the
next day (Tuesday) when we started
for Paris. The country was beautiful
and, though tiresome, it was a very
pleasant trip. At midnight Paris was
reached at last, after a hard trip Of
seventeen days on ship and two trains.
1t took me several days to get over the
effects of it. The Red Cross people
met us here, as they had in Havre, and
took us to hotels. Six of Gus girls"
were taken to the Metropolitan, where
a nice lunch was ready for US and
where we were given a beautiful suite
three bed rooms, with hot and cold run
ming water, privite bath and drawing
room"(Now doesn't that sound grand)
The next morning we had to report to
Headquarters, to go through the for

to receive greetings from Col. Gibson,

to report again the next morning to

| A. Army, writes the LEDGER of his ex-
perience overseas. ell is now in Ger
many playing in the 356th Infantry
] band and tells of his other duties
| which took him uder fire:
| Friend MITCHELL
Ehrang, Germany, January 5th,
1871 suppose you know that the
89th Division is in Germany. I am
still in the 356 Infantry band. We have
tour full quota of fifty men and we
have some fine band now. At the Ar
gonne front we laid aside our instru-
ments for two months and did all kinds
| of work and also buried the dead
| We saw real service and feel glad
! that we did. The first men we buried
were men that we did not know. Later
on we buried own men. We came
across the body of Alexander Ford, I
helped bury him. Shells of all kinds
| and sizes fell around us while we were
burying the dead but we never lost n
man out of our band, though we had
i. some very narrow escapes.
We were glad when the armistice
went into effert on November 18th, but
there was not much noise as every
one was tired and seemed to express
their joy in silence. But when we
sight a boat for home I have an idea
that it will sound just like it did at
Mexico the day the news of the Ar
mistice reached there. / am anxious
to get back and do some real work
with my music. Chas. Adams the
character singer is our drum major
now and he and / entertain as a team
and aside from the band work we are
always on the go. There was a period
of two months that we did not see
a piano and after the armistice, at
the town of Pouilly on the Mouse
River, Adams and / went into the big
church there, I began to play the Or
gan and Adams started singing, all Of
a sudden some one ran in and said:
"They did not want to alarm US but
the major said the church was mined
and might blow up at any minute"

than at home. ! cat like a pig and
am always hungry. I like the French
bread, even if every one does carry it
around in their hands unwrapped;
there seems to be no fear of germs.
Last Sunday was a celebration
of the French retaking Alsace-
Lorraine and Oh my! such a day.
If anything, the excitement was wilder
than the day the armistice was signed.
And that is saying a good deal. All
| Rcd Cross personnel were instructed
to report at one o'clock to take part in
the parade and l wish l could describe
it to YOU. No doubt you have read
of it in the papers, but wen that could
give you no idea of the "real thing
of the enthusiasm and cxcitment. l
feel it is a great privilege to be here
at this time and quite an honor to he in
a parade of such a. celebration. One
paper here said "The b~oulevards were
a sparkling bubbling river of human
wine; the wine of victory" The roar
of voices was a delicious compound of
laughter and song. Never were people
so delirously happy. They sang and
| danced, linked hands in whirling cir
cles, waved flags, and ran. There
seemed no limit to the endurance of
the jewellers. Conventions disap-
pcared. They kissed and were kissed
Il wasn't in that; they joined hards
with strangers and paraded until
caught in human whirlpool and sepa-
rated. 1t was a mad revel free from
care, free from the burden of the
Boche and full of amazing vitality. We
were in the parade until four O'Clock
then one of the girls invited ten of us
to have a cup of hot chocolate at Lau-
rents (about the SWEETEST place in Par
isl before we went to the American
Episcopalian Church, where special
thanksgiving service were held for all
men and women in uniform.

OPPONENTS of daylight-saving
who declare for Goods time" as a.
gainst wilson's time" will do well to
take note of how Nature adapts her
self to the changing seasons, arrarg-
ing all her activities in eminent accord
with the movements of the sun. She
advances to meet the earlier dawn of
summer and retreats upon the tardier
daybreak of winter. This adjustment
is eternal and unfailing. Man, with
his little eigh-day clock, surely can
find no better exemplar than Nature in
apportioning and improving the day
light hours.

LETTERS FROM OUR
SOLDIER BOYS

Grover C. Coil, Captain of a U. S.
Field Artillery Company writes
Mitchell White, junior editor of the
Ledger, a short letter from France
and with it sends a number of newspa-
pers published in France for the bene-
fit of the American soldiers. Notably
among them are: "The Chicago Tri-
bune;" American edition of ia Petite
Gironde;" "The New York Herald;"
'The Stars and Stripes" "The Amer
lean Daily Mall" ''The Bordeaux
Bark"
Captain Coil speaks of having seen
Sid Houston. who he says was looking
and feeling fine. The letter follows:
Dear Mitch
A. P. o. 7O5 A, France.-Am send
ing you some of the papers that have
done much to keep the morale of the
"Yanks" at high tide.
These dailies have followed US from
the seaports to the front line trenches
and while in the latter instance they
did not always reach us on time they
came often enough to be of great
value and in some small way took the
place of the mail from home which so
often could not reach US until after
much delay.
l saw Sid Houston Thursday he was
looking his best and feeling fine. He
is the first and only Mexico boy that
| have seen in France.
A number of officers have been kept
over here for duty. I am one of the
unfortunate ones. There is however,
consolation in the fact that we are
helping to get the rest of the men
home "Toot sweet" Am feeling fine
and hoping that each day will bring
the order that means home for me.
Kindest regards to all sincerely.
