Private Clyne says under date Of
May 20:
! Il firmly believe that II will be some
| time yet before we see our homes Not
all the boys think so. but to replace
US with new men from home Is going to
| take some time, and in the meanwhile
events may send us further into Ger
many. 1 find as the expectation Of this
gets stronger that the very men who
have been most anxious to start for
home are not SO eager now to get out
OF this country most of US would like
to march over the country and enter
and occupy Berlin. That is what the
big American Expeditionary Force
| crossed the seas for, and II would
tickle us to death to be the ones to
carry 1t out after 80 many of our boys
have gone hcme."
Lieut.. A. Sires of the Fourth Infan-
try. Army Of Occupation. writes from
Safflg Germany:
II wish to acknowledge for the boys
OF this company a debt of gratitude to
THE Sun Tobacco Fund. They have
asked me to thank you for the kind re-
membraDce. All are we'll and waiting
expectantly to hear what the news is
from Paris, Spirits are high and what
ever happens there will be good ac-
counting rendered by the men in the
Army Of Occupation"
Sure "sun" VIII Follow to Berlin.
Corporal Ford from Maxsain says
| this: IF we are going east soon we will
start with tobacco from the good old
HatN f..l A.G
there ever was one. When we got the
last distribution most OF us hadn't
smoked tobacco for days and II came
In mighty handy. I tell the boys that
THE sen will follow them even I'D to
Berlin, and ] believe It too"

Private Ga Faulkner of Company G,
Fourth Infantry, writes from Germany
on May rs. giving his impressions of the
Rhine Valley and tho German inhab-
itants there. He says:
To me they seem stolid lot of
folks, but apparently harmless. They
are sure that the country will accept
the terms OF the treaty OF Versailles,
although they call these terms hard.
IL these folk are any example OF the
whole OF Germany there will not be any
more war in our day. because they are
dead sick OF 1t. Thank you for the
cigarettes; they came at right time, as
most of us hadn't seen one for weeks"

States before long"

their letters in your columns day by
day. l hope by my monthly contrlbu-
some soldier Just little less homesick
and sad"
Another young lady contributor sends
along n bit" to help ''in the splendid
work you are doing for the boys" She
