MORNING KISSES
NOT VERY WELCOME
But These Happen To Be Big
German Shells Bursting
Over U. 5. DOughbOys.

Reynold Baumgardner, who is with
the Second provisional military police
in France, is cne of the boys who went
through the big Chateau Thierry fight
last July IA, the day that historians
agree was the turning point for the ar
mics fighting Germany. His letter is
in part as follows:
"You perhaps have read of the big
drive at Chateau Thierry on July IA,
1918. That is when it started and 1
was sure enough in it from start to
finish. 1t was the biggest battle ever
known over here or in the world.
"Many big six inch shell 1 hauled
up to the front. So hear one of my
little mishaps that happened up there.
1 hauled load of shells up and kept
on going until 1 came to the place.
A bunch of fellows unloaded my truck.
l started back while the Germans were
sending slue of shells over and came
very near getting my truck. But got
out all right.
81 drove until I thought my car was
| SdIe as IWdS so aWlul sleepy. but
about O'Clock in the morning over
came some morning kisses as we call
them. One lit quite distance away
but the next one. just a little bit near
or. So l lay very still waiting for
one with my name on it. But when
it did come it lit about so feet in a
bunch of horses, killing six and wound
ing some French soldiers and blew off
the arm of an American soldier.
$50 had to get up and crank my
car and put those fellows in the truck
then started across "No Mans Land
for hospital. Found one about five
miles on my way home. Put those fel
lows off and away / went to camp
When I looked at my truck in the morn
ing / found seven holes in it. So yol
can see just what one shell will do
They sure make an awful noise whel
they light.
Everything over here is just as higi
as can be. They sure hold you up 10
anything you buy and there are no plac
es to go unless you go to Paris. l hav'
been there four times. Paris is nic'

How Fast VIII Elgm
Six Go Gilbert Answers

"There are automobiles on the mar
ket to-day that will go go miles an
hour, or better Jon smooth straightaway
Sometimes people ask me how fast an
Elgin Six can go, and | usually ask
them whether they have in mind just
a. short .spurtgor long distance running,
for there is quite asdistinction,' says
Lee L. Gilbert, Elgin Six distributor.
"When / speak of Elgin Six speed
1 say that it will go most miles per
day, take the rough roads as they come.
Speed is more than a succession of fast
clips, interspersed with succession Of
snail PAGES.
"The Elgin Six makes such good time
because it keeps going, doesn't have to
slow down for every rough spot or turn
in the road.
"Most drivers who don't know tho
Elgin Six are surprised at this quality
when they have their first ride. They
find it hard to realize that the perfect
balance Of weight and the flexible way
the Elgin is built, allow it to hug the
road and the turns so much eGsier than
a heavy ear. The light weight and
easy riding Of The Elgin Six keep down
roua shocks SO that neither car nor
passengers are effected by fast travel.
In otner words, Elgin Six speed is diff
fercnt, and it gets you there without re-
alizing you are making good time. 1t
doesn't come from excessive power
that can be used only once in a while
but from proper amount ofepower, that
can be used steadily, hour after hour

how true this is.
