NOT THE WAY
THEY FEEL
Private Ralph ]. Bingham Writes to
Express Difference of Opinion on
Part of Army of Occupation Men
With Folks in States

The following letter gives some
idea of the way theb oys in the Army
of occupation feel about their home
town papers and also what they
think in regard the Victory Loan
Campaign in this country. Ralph
Bingham has many friends back here
in his home town who will be glad
TO read his letter and more than glad
to welcome him back to his homeland.

Mr.. Kenyon,
Dear Sir:-
l received number OF papers pub
lished in Wauseon among which were
several copies of the Fulton County
Tribune, which l certainly do enjoy
reading: In the issue of May 9th
l read the article Theory VS. Prac-
tice" which brought about the writ
ing of this note to you. In the arti-
Gle mentioned, minister somewhere
in Pennsylvania, where Mr.. F. S,
Ham was working for the Victory
Liberty Loan, made the statement
to his congregation in sermon that
"The Victory Loan is in a very pre-
carious way if it must resort to Sun.
day performances to be put over
That statement does not harmonic
with most of our ways of thinking
who are in the army of Occupation
The Victory Liberty Loan was put
over to complete the Victory fol
which some of US gave our all anC
the rest of US gave much, to gain.
/ The actual fighting may be ovel
but the victory is not complete unit

ocracy." This cannot be accomplish
ed without the success of the Libert!
;. What woGld have happened if tn
! Allies had ceased fighting on tn
Sabbath Day? Or, if the Army o
! Occupation were less watchful o.
. Sunday? This conflict might hav
; had a different ending.
, / called the attention of several 0
: my comrades to the article and the
ali are of the same opinion.

people think: First, it means

that he has hopes of soon starting

think the most exciting time I
have had and one l felt sure, at the
time would not come out of alive,
was on the Meuse-Argonne front;
when l patrolled mo Man'sT Land
for over three hours one night.
Orders came from the high COM
mand to my Captain that certain
hill should be thoroughly patrolled
to see if the Germans were digging
in on the reverse slope.

compass; but a compass is little
good after dark and a map no good
at all, as you cannot. use light. Aftei

woods and across an open space

keep the Boche from seeing US as
they used a great many star shells
1t must have taken three quarters
of an hour to get to the top. l ex-
pected any minute to have machine

and found numerous dugouts, Ger

them; they had just recently left the
hill and about two kilomeers beyond
in the valley we saw large fire which
showed they were destroying every.
thing as they went.
Our mission over, I started back
but it was so dark I hardly knew
which way to go; knew I should moi
go north as that was the direction Of
the German lines, but after NIGH
with no moon or stars it is most i'm
possible I took chance and after
wandering around for most an houl
we all were stopped by the sharl

the Corporal, a fellow from D. Com
