MISSED FIGHTING AT vERDUN

Mrs. Martin Tezek Of Crested Butte
kindly sends rs . letter from her
brother, Frank Slogan, who has been
stationed on the French front, and
which she translates from the Aus
trian for US.
Paurgus, France, Feb. %, 1919.
My Dear Sisters: This will let you
know that I received . few letters
from you and was glad to hear from
you and to hear that you are all still
well and happy. -.~
Dear Sisters, l am very sorry to
hear that you haven't heard from me
for . long time. We come to the Yer
dun front. November 10. 1918, and on
Nov. 11th, 1918, the armistice was
signed. I can't tell you how happy
we all were when we heard this, even
IL We didn't have q chance at the
Huns We were 80 near the fighting
line that we heard the cannons roar
and heard the men shouting. On the
18th day of Nov. we would have been
in the midst Of the fighting, had il
not been for the armistice being sign
ed.
They then separated all of us and
sent US to different parts Of France.
They have transferred me from the
34th Division to the seth. and like il
much better now than l did before.
was on the hike for twelve days and
Of course l had no time to write to
you then but otherwise l write to you
every week. All you can see in Yer
dun is nothing but graves where those
unlucky soldiers are resting.
don't need any money now be-
cause ! get one hundred and sixty
three franks every month. Every
thing over here is awful high. All you
can see in France are ladies all
dressed in black and all with very sad
faces.
do not know when I am coming
back to the Dear Old U. S. A. Maybe
in April and maybe not till August.
When you see in the paper that the
36th Division is coming home probably
will be among them. 1 am thinking
Of you day and night. Can never for
get you.
The weather over here is lovely; no
snow but lots Of rain. The people in
France are already plowino. We have
lots of corn mush to eat.
The news is getting rather short so
will cut of for now and write more
next time. Best wishes and loving re-
CARDS to all, from
Your loving brother,

STILL BUSY TIMES WITH
THE AVIATION CORPS

Roman Autin, France.
Jan. 26th, 1919
Mrs. Jennie NJ. johnson,
Gunnison, Colo.
Dear Mother:
Just q few lines to let you know
where l am. We left Arcis Sur Aube
Sunday, Jan. 18th, and arrived here
Tuesday, Jan. 14th. This place is
nearly in the central part Of France
But during the war was one Of the
big aviation supply bases. At pres
ent there are about twenty-five thous-
and men here. We have turned in all
our surplus clothing and barracks
bags, including rifles and pistols, and
only keep an extra suit Of underwear
and an extra o. D. shirt and three
blankets in our pack. This is all we
are allowed to take back with rs. We
do not know how long we will be kept
here, but we understand we will soon
be sent to Bordeaux. Af.er passing
q final physical inspection, we will re-
turn to the states. sg
The weather here is quite cold. It
freezes ice. here every night. Quite
. change from the green grass New
Years in the last place we were at.
It il showing lightly this afternoon.
The city of Roman Autin is about
four miles from our camp. It has q
population Of about ten thousand and
is much like other towns Of its size
over here. This is quite busy place,
as there are thousands Of aeroplanes
being shipped here, many Of them
from Germany. These aeroplanes
comprise every kind which has been
used in the war. Some Of them are in
good shape, and are made ready for
use, while others have been badly
damaged in various ways, and are
salvaged, 30 there is no loss Of any
thing, and there is plenty of work for
all the men. In one store house, they
have fifteen thousand Liberty motors,
just new from the States, sent before
the armistice. II the war was still
on they would all and more have been
in use on the front.

IN PRAISE OF MARSHAL FOCH
london lEnRlandl Times:-

London (Engiand) Times
He measured the risks which faced
him; he took them, on at least one
memorable occasion. against all ad-
vice; he made his preparations with
care and skill, and he bided his time.
Then he struck-struck with the full
force of the immense army at his
command. utterly out-generaled the
enemy and was ready to annihilate
them when they prudently sued for
peace. As no soldier has ever had
a grander triumph, or a triumph bet
ter earned, so none has ever borne
victory with more soldiery modesty.
Marshal Foch has won the hearts Of
all who have had the honor of serving
with him, or under him, by his char
acter, as he has won their admiration
by his genius. He has commanded
the army of the greatest coalition
which ever took the field. and not only
has he commanded il without friction
of any kind, but he has gained the
warm friendship of the foreign Off
GERS with whom he has worked.
