We guaran- tee that this remedy will make your cows give more milk. with the same feed

From Harris Burrow

Dear Mother:-Our outgoing mail has been practically stopped since Nov. l. 1 wrote you sev- eral times during the month but doubt if any of the letters left the regiment until a few day ago, but then you see we have been on the move. It looked for awhile like we would go into the army of occupation but now that we have been shifting around from one village to another south of Verdun for a month about the only thought in our heads is, will the first over be the first back You see it's been fourteen months since we tasted ice cream or had our best girls admire our un- forms, so you can't blame us for hoping that the Twenty-sixth goes home 'to0t sweet.
 The censor has almost gone out of business. as you know, so we haven't the old excuse that The censor wont let us, "tho' l always thought that . poor excuse. for if a fellow had time, and the mail was going out. there was no limit to the writable subjects.
 On Nov. II (well, it was the most glorious day of my life) we were in a position north of Yer dun, we were the pivot point for the big advance going on to our left. and to fire our last shot from the historic, low-rolling hill north of Verdun was a satisfying place to finish our part of the war. On the morning of the eleventh we had an attack planned and we to fire our preparation until one o'clock, starting about nine. About ten-thirty the order came down tha; there would be no more firing after one minute of eleven o'clock. We were firing one shot per gun every two min utes. We began to dope out how many more shells we needed and looking forward to the last shot. Along about three minutes of eleven Captain Parker appeared and took direct command of the guns. At minute and . half of eleven the Captain commands,
 Battery attention! One round. Load" And then at one minute of eleven he commanded. Fire" So it was with our last shot.
 You have probably been wait ing to hear about our coming over and our first ds ys in France. 1 haven't had much to say about where we had been or were. See we sailed from Hoboken, N. Y., same as about every other Amer ican outfit. We were lucky to get . White Star liner Instead of an army transport. We had very good food. served we'll. Most of us went down in the steerage. We felt abused then. Little did we know of the many uncomfort- able quarters awaiting us in France, and now we are. every Tank of us. hoping to the pow CTS that be that we can go back on the same ship. the Adriatlc, and enjoy a few comforts. From New York we went to Halifax and lay in the harbor there two days. From there we passed through, in order. Liverpool. Southampton, Havre. France. then box car to our training camp near St. Nazaire.
 Our first position on the line was the noted Chemin des Danes near Sissons. That was carly in February of last year. Then we moved over to the Toul sector, with divisional headquarters at Menil-la- Tour. We had quite . taste of trench varefars there. Then from there we went into the Second Battle of the harne in a position near Belleau Woods a~l rl~,.vl,, rl,,-l Al
