with the American Army OF Occu-

the Young German aviator who claims
TO have shot down Quentin Roosevelt
near Cambria, France, on July IA,
told the correspondent today OF the
battle which ended fatally for the son
of the former president OF the United
States.
He said: al was one of a party OF
six German ~aviators and on July Ia
sighted six American machines east
of Thiery-en-tardenoIs. One Amerl-
can, who | learned later was quentin
Roosevelt, was ahead of the rest OF
his squadron and off to II side. lie
came straight at me and swooped
down under his machine. We see
sawed back and forth, peppering away
and each trying to gain the advantage
by trying to get above the other.
Roosevelt made several loops and
I admired his gameness. Once l
thought his machine gun was jammed'
but a second later he opened fire, the
shots scattering all about me.
Then | got above him and swooped
down. getting within twenty meters
of him, firing all the time. Then l
saw his machine collapse and he be-
gan to fall"

Dear Dad:
Today is the date set when all
worthy members of the A, Il F. are
supposed to write to their first sc. o."
as the paper puts it. One very' fine
thing about writing now is that the
lid is off for good IN censorship and
| can tell you briefly where | have
been since we landed in France on the
9th of March.
First we were sent to a little village
in the foothills of the Vosges, called
lie Valdahon, in the department OF
Doubs. A department in France cor
responds to a state in the United
States. Well we were at LIE Valdahon
for about four months, training at the
Artillery school there and afterwards
training my battery during the month
of July. On August 4th we arrived
in our first sector near st. Die in the
Vosges. You remember my writing
home about being located in a pine
forest among the foothills. That was
an ideal place, but we were only al
lowed to stay there a month. From
there we marched to Epinal in a
series of night marches, the first of
any importance that | had taken. At
ter a few days rest near Epinal we
again took the road and ended by
going into position near Nancy, a
little town southwest of Pont-a-Mous-
sou 1t was at Nancy that | had my
first experience of shell fire of the
enemy at close grange. On the first
ight of the opening drive in the st.
Mihiel salient we were in position
near Nancy. After a couple of days
we moved to a position lear Thcan-
court, where we have been ever since.
1t was a great privilege that ! had of
seeing some real action while | was
in this sector. Now it is all over and
we will form part Of the Army of Oc-
cupation. Tonight we are again bill
leted in Nancy. We are busy train
ing horses ana preparing TO nov
forward but We no longer need to
march at night and OF course it will
be much easier. MY men are veterans

Dear Mother:
1 expect you think it has been a
long time since you heard from me,
but | haven't had time to write.
We are in a small town in Luxem-
burg now; don't know how long we
will be here. We are going to some
place in Germany and stay on the
border till things are settled up.
This is Thanksgiving day W. did
MT have much Of a feed but it vas
better than being out in the woods
somewhere, never knowing when you
are going to pack UP and leave or
! get out in the middle of the night and
haul ammunition. We had corn beef
hash and bread and coffee for dinner.
The order come in this morning that
we could write home and tell where
we were, and where we had been, and
l guess that is what everybody is do
ing. We have been so many different
places l can't name them all, but ii
seems like we have been all owe
France and Belgium,
When | first came over here they
took us out on the Champagne front;
that Is where they pulled off that big
battle on the 14th of July. From
there TO Chateau Thierry, and was up
there about four weeks. Then we
went to the Toul front and from there
to Verdun. That is where we were
when they stopped fighting.
That reminds me that you think ]
am still in the eighty-seventh division.
When we came over here we were in
a replacement camp for about a week,
then they took a bunch of US, and put
us in the forty-second division, that
is the Rainbow division, and have
been there ever since.
| hear they are sending some of
the men back to the states already,
but do not know for sure.
How is everything and everybody
E
back there? ! suppose you are hav-
ing a big time today with all kinds
of good things to eat. You told me
in your last letter that Mrs. Dear
dorff was going 20 write. Well, / have
never gotten her letter, and got n
the other day thaa you wrote on the
5th of August so l guess if they keep
on coming l will get them after
