GERMAN PEOPLE
NEAR STARVATION
SAYS NENANA|TE

Charles F. Ingersoll, former Ne
nanaite, who joined the army BY
voluntary induction, is now serving
with the army of occupation At
Coblenz, Germany.
Writing to Frank Taylor, of the
Arctic, from Coblenz, under date
Of March so, ne says:
Received your letter some days
ago; il took two months and 20
days to reach here. 1t had to chase
me all over France. as we were on
the move until after the armistice
was signed. We were stationed
at ST. Dizier for two months, thence
moved to Metz, and from there to
the Rhine. Don't kick because you
did not get to join the army and
come overseas, for we have had
hell from every angle.
/ The first taste of it was on
the Toul front. Here l had charge
I of truck convoy and had to be on
the road every night without lights.
just back of the lines Fritz was
Smelling everything, but did not
me. l had to get back to foul in
the daytime. and there Heine was
seen every day with his bombing
planes. and sleep was out of the
question.
The day before the armistice
was signed they got a big Hun
plane over Toul. Ii was a great
sight to see him fall from a dis
lance of 5000 feet and smash up,
the pilot and observer being killed
instantly.
We have had it tough and il is
not over yet. If the Huns sign
the peace terms everything will
be O. K, but if not, it means more
war and the boys on the Rhine
will be the first in, as we will
have to advance farther into Ger
many and you can easily see what
that means. We stay over here
some time yet. But if this scrap
is settled in April or May, I will
be back in Nenana next fall.
My pay is S5160 as sergeant,
but l am recommended for pro
motion to sergeant first class. and
will then draw SOL. This is not
much, as everything you buy IS
high and your money does not las
/ long. However, l am willing 70
stay over here and scrap it out
until everything is made safe at
home.
! Il am here on the Rhine and can
see how the Hun lives at home, and,
believe me, they cannot last two
months longer without help, as they
are on the brink of starvation
One Of my detachment just re-
turned from Berlin, where he had
been on convoy with rations to our
boys in Berlin, and he says that
they have very little food, Men,
women and children are seen on
the streets, dressed up in the best
of clothes but they have nothing
to eat but spuds and not as many
of them as they wan- either.
can't see how they can help them
selves. but you can't trust a Hun,
and you never can tell what he is
going to try to pull off next.
by the time this reaches you
something will have happened, so
! if l am still lucky enough TO get
home, will tell you all about the
trip. Give my regards to all the
boys"
