Both the Methodist and Episcopal

France.
The service will be conducted by

some of the others were not quite
over their attack of the flu. l hore
by this time that they are all well
again and that the epidemic of the
fiue has been checked.
We have had but few cases here,
but in certain localities it has been
quite bad. am sleeping very much
in the open and practically all of my
time is spent cut of doors. which 1
think under these conditions is a
good thing. We are still billeted on
the same farm, doing outpost duty.

only see the two we let them come
up. They came with their rifles
slung over their shoulders and told US
that they had been in the woods all
night and that every move they made
they had been fired on by US. One
of them had been hit in the hand and
had been bandaged up by his "kame.
rade. - They told US there were no
more of them in there, though we
didn't believe this. We stripped them
Of their souvenirs and what little
money they had, also an old German
watch, sending them to the rear to
the captain of the company. The
rest of the night passed quietly. We
were expecting an attack at day ybreak,
but it didn' materialize. During the
day that followed we got the line
connected up and felt more at our
ease. Two more men were killed by
shells that were sent over at US by
their artillery, which compelled US to
dig holes into the ground like foxes.

safe. Two days later our command
started another drive. 1t was a big
advance all along the line and we ad.
vanced for miles before we saw a
Germa-. We got into lot Of she'll
fire though and lost number of fine
men. There is a lot more that could
tell you of this last drive, but
must lay off now.
Here, where we are now, in the
Rhine valley, there is fine mild
winter climate. Christmas Day we
got quite snowfall. but it is all
gone now and it keeps raining little
every day, the ground not being
frozen at all and grass being as
green as it would be at home along
in the late spring. I suppose you will
soon be hitting the trail for Montana
again. Have not just exactly made
up my mind what will do when l
get out of the service. May have to
shape things all over again as this
life has rendered to make one feel
quite restless. Soldering does one
of two things, makes man or bum
of a fellow. There is plenty of time
to size this matter up as there is no
chance of getting away from here
before peace is signed up, which
means it will he along in the com ing
