Dear Mr.. Bliss:
Have again found a little
spare time 80 will make use of it by
writing you.
We ara still stationed in the same
town, DeLouze, France, but l am q
little more optomistic than 1 was
when | last wrote you, in regard to
our going home. We are going back
to u old Division, the 32nd. very
shortly and they are scheduled to sail
the first part of May. In order to
make it in time we will have to leave
here foot sweet (meaning vers soon if
not sooner.) We will go to Coblence
to join the Send and then go home
via Antwerp, Belgium. At least that
is the dope we have now. This is
the best news we have had for some
time. Am enclosing a little clipping
from the Camp Dodger that contains
a little interesting news.
The weather here has been fairly
good. Have had quite a bit of sun
shine of late. More at one time than
we have had for some time.
Everything is coming along the
best and the boys are getting along In

they come. The longer they r put
off the stronger they get.
Supt. Williams continued reading
the School History Of the War during

The book is we'll written and gives a
good concise report of the war as it
was known when the book was writ

A seventh grade pupil recently
made this startling statement as ex-
| PLANTATION for the cause of the Sahara
Desert: The wind blows the eand
there.
Last Friday being Good Friday the
school authorities saw fit to give US a
holiday for which we are all very
thankful. The short vacation was
enjoyed by all pupils, teachers, par
ents and patrons. Some spent their
time fishing, others at garden work,
still others did odd jobs that had been
changing around" for some time.
while a great many attended services
at the various churches. All in all
the day was well made use of by ev-

"Reading will remain the backbone
Of the common school course. With

them.

57TH BRIGADE FIRED MOST
SHELLS AT THE GERMANS
The 57th Artillery Brigade has the
distinction of not only being the only
f~our-regiment brigade in the A. f.
F., but according to official orders, it
was second in the consecutive number
of days spent in action, first in the
number of shells fred on the Boches,
and had more ground won bv the in
fantry in front of it with fewer cas-
ualties than any other artillery unit
in France.
When the members of the 57th Ar
tillery Brigade leave the 8sth division
to rejoin the Thirty second division,
it will look like a doughboy e%outit
ready for the trenches. All material
will have been turned in and hiking
with full pack will be the fashion.
Turning in of the equipment started
last week when the escort wagons
went back to the 88th division. Soon
after the motor show on March 28th,
the horses and motor We hicles will be
turned over to the S8th division and
the three and six-inch guns will be
taken to the Army Artillery Park at
Toul.
Just as they landed in France, with
full pack containing all of their per-
sonal belongings, will the artillery
men start their journey to Coblenz
and to the states.
Upon returning to the United
States, it is said that the 32nd divi-
sion will parade in Milwaukee and
Detroit before the men will be mug
tered out Of service"
