Meets Fellow Who Was With Me
Hugh at Chateau-Thierry

Mrs. A. RodeWald has received the
following letter from her son Herbert,
who IS with the American Red Cross in
France:
Dear Mother and All:
We are moving from here to Fleury
tomorrow, where We will probably stay
for a little while. or We may not stay
more than a few days.
I received three Of the Baraboo
News One from November and. the
other two were dated December and
II. Also received the package. That
cake sure was fine. My roommate and
| had it for supper last night. That
candy was good, too We have little
of it left yet. I am sending few post
cards which I bought. They are not
so good, but / may be able to get some
better ones later. l went UP to RelmS
with an ambulance from here although
we had TO come right back. 1t sure
was a fine trip. The cathedral OF
Reims is quite badly shot up and also
the whole city. There are very few
civilians left there now, as they nave
nearly all been driven out.
Say, met a fellow who was with
Ntzhugh," at Chateau Thierry when
he was struck. hadn't thought OF 1t
until read about it in the paper. -
was working in ward few days
after the war was over, and a bunch
of men who were just tired out were
in it. happened to be talking with
one of them and when he found out
what state was from, he told me that
he had been with fellow from Mil
walkee when he was struck. I didn't
think anything of it at the time, as |
didn't think it probable that it was any
relation to the McHugh from Baraooo.
I have a chance to send this letter
over to the post office before the mail
goes out, SO will make it short, AS TINS
NAV be the last chance [ will get TO
mail this here.
am sending a handkerchief along
with this which / thought might please
Gerald. Hoping you are all well ana
hanpv as ever, with love,
HERBERT.

were either going to Belgium or to
Germany, and it would take two or
three days to make the trip, and as
It was cold we decided to get a train.
But we found French car which was
going back to Arras, so we climbed
aboard. We found, however, that the
car landed us in a small town twenty
miles from Lille. That did not look
very promising. and as 1t was almost
II o'clock we thought we had better
try to get out. There is no chance Of
getting anything to eat in the former
towns in the battle area, because the
people are just beginning to move
back and they have to carry every
thing. In fact there isn't even water
and no place to buy wine. Now and
then you can see Large rat running
into the dugous and trenches, and the
large black crows fly over the battle
fields eating everything they can, SO
that the bones we saw were picked
clean.
Well, we finally stopped real au-
tomoble going back to Lille which
we took and arrived in time to catch
the train back toward Rouen. We
certainly were lucky getting trains,
and as we were in uniform we did not
have to purchase any tickets, in fact
when the conductor came along we
showed our passes and said zen per
mission" and he passed along. You
see this was a real cumming trip as
we did not have to pay for travelling
on motor lorries, automobiles or
trains. But when we bought some
thing to eat we paid for it all right
One morning we had two omelettes
two pieces Of bread and two cups OF
coffee, and the bill came to IS francs
which is about three dollars-that
was dollar and half apiece-fol
breakfast. Nevertheless, we only
spent about fifteen dollars apiece fol
our four days visit to northern
France, but we always tried to stay al
officers clubs.
You know prices for everything II
this country certainly have increased
When we go down town for a gooC
meal now we usually have to pay a.
Least five dollars for things we pur

ago. We do have to buy a good mea
occasionally I suppose that prices
IN the states have also gone up con

Meanest Thief
One of the meanest thieves on rec

Vent was the victim. The mother died

the bank the savings, $3.50, to pay the
funeral expenses. Early this morn
ing Vent was awakened by a cold
draught Of air and fearing his little
ones might catch cold he rose to In

open and the money gone. Maybe the
thief will read this and if he is not this
meanest thief in the world he will re-
turn it.
