Chamber Of Commerce to take some
action, requiring these professional

would have gone over and, believe
me. there were some excited people
on here. The captain and flotilla
commander were on the bridge with
far away look on them and when
men like that feel uneasy you know
it is pretty bad.
We got to the Azore Islands, where
we got orders to come back; SO we
didn't get a chance to go all the way

Nov. 13. 1918


Dear Mother:-
I have not received mail from home
since AIS last one of August 5th.
Are you getting all of mine?
Since the war is all over but the
shouting and good bit of that, I
expect we will get back in a couple
of months. have heard that the
army we are in follow up the Ger
mans as far as a certain town and
then are sent to the U. S. a.
We are rumored as being the first
to return. So don't be surprised if
my next letter is longer time in
coming. We will be pretty much on
the move and with neither time or
place to write. Besides I don't know
what to write when get started.
Only that know where the 10th
Ambulance Corp is and can't get
down to see them.
Did you read the three letters in
the Saturday Evening Post written
by Art someone or other? They are
pretty good. One of the boys in the
656th Aero wrote home that he was
an aviator and described fight he
had with a Boche. Told how his
plane was shot up and that he came
out without a scratch. One of the
fellows came from the same town
and got the paper with his letter in
1t. In truth he is a clerk and don't
believe that he ever has been up in
plane much less being pilot. He
Is married and has child.
You ought to have seen and heard
the demonstration that was put on
here when we heard that the Kaiser
had abdicated and that the armistice
terms were to be signed the next
day. French and Americans had a
real shirt tail parade without the
shirt tails. It is too cold for that.
Most Of 'em had candles and one a
flute, drum. two pans. very light
and ass, machine guns. rifles and
anti-craft. All going at once. Better
than any Fourth Of July parade l
have ever seen. Now we are spruc.
ing up and waiting for orders.
The weather has been fierce. Rain
cold and mud. The field is like South
Dakota gumbo fields after a hard
rain. This has been fine day
though: sunshiny and warm.
7 bet there is plenty of snow in old
North Dakota right now and about
~ degrees below. I should worry
how cold it gets. We have leather
Jacket. an overcoat. besides ou1
sweaters. gloves. raincoats. hin boots
and shoes. have so Inanv clothes
that I can't get them all in my bag
So don't worry about me hut write
sonn and tell me all the news of the
family. the town and friends and
anything else.
Your loving son..

THE KAISER

The kaiser's such a little fellow,
He thought he'd go away
And find a smaller place to live
Than dear old Gernlau7.
He went to Holland and he found
The place was pretty fair,
But 10! the folks kicked up a row;
And wouldn't have him there.
And so he's coming back, they say.
To locate in Berlin,
I'll bet the folks will make a row
And will not let him in.
I wish they'd send him over here
To the u. 8. A. and me;
We'd get a rope and hang him
To sour apple tree.
Yet I humbly do apologize
Unto the apple tree.
No difference in the least
How "ORNERY" it may be.
For an apple tree has some respect
For itself and family.
And doesn't want the likes of Bill
A hanging on it-see?
