quarters and we are expecting the
Y. M. C. A. canteens and service to
tget up to us. l am living in a nice
room, and we have nice brick
,stove. We have a hard time to
get enough wood and we are going
to take scout this afternoon for
-Iome. We have fairly comfortable
beds and are able to get a good
nights sleep without molestation
except for a few rats. Last night
l took a tub bath in a bath tub
THAT l salvaged from across the
street. There is a we'll right out
side the door but the water is not
good for drinking purposes. We
have to be very careful of our
drinking water and be sure that it
is treated before we use it. A few
of the French are coming back to
their homes but they do not seem
Ito be i'm much of a hurry to get
back. Maybe they have memories
of the Hun invasion ait the begin
ming of the war and are waiting
until he lis back across the Rhine
and bound up tight in am unbreak-
able treaty. There are many
French people who have no houses
TO return to, as there are many
houses, villages and towns devast-
ed by shell fire. We American
should be thankful to the Great
Divine that this war was fought
on foreign soil. We soldiers are
grateful that we return to a coun-
try untore by shell fire and un-
ravised by the lust of heartless
invader. This is Sunday and a
beautiful day. There is no relig-
iIous services in this town today.
The only church there is here is
badly shelled. The French must
be very religious, as every little
VILLAGE has it's own church most of
which are Catholic. We had in
spection this morning and i'm this
respect it ,ssemed like Camp Dix
once again. l hope they are think
ing of taking us home soon, as we
are more homesick than ever since
the war ended. | see no need of
keeping us here, as there is not
much work to do-and lots of idle
men to do it. Well, anyway, l am
hoping to see you all real soon and

Clarence T. Hardness Sends
Message in Christmas
Letter

The following letter was receiv-
ed by Thomas Hardness on Christ
mas day from his SON, Clarence T.
Hardness, Company M, 59th Pho
neer Infantry, American E. F.:
France, Nov. "a, 1918.
Dear Father:
This is dads day among the
American forces all over Europe,
and I believe that it is sons day
fin the United States. There are
many fathers over there to whom
the day will bring no happiness,
and only pangs of heart pain, and
l suppose there are men here
whose fathers have died since
they sailed from the states. There
fore the day will bring it's joys and
it's sorrows os both sides the wide
ocean. This letter will probably
reach you about Xmas and for this
once it will have to take my place
at the Xmas dinner table. l am
hoping though that it will not be
long after, when a ship sails into
an American seaport with the
Pioneers on board. The majority
of us were much surprised when
the firing actually ceased. We
heard rumors about three days be-
fore mostly from the French, to
the effect that the war would be
over on Monday at eleven O'Clock.
And sure enough it was. A cur
ious coincidence is that the guns

Harry Herbener Visits
Verdun Front

The following letter was received
recently by Mrs. Allie Herbener from
her son, Harry Herbener, who is over
seas with the Hospital Corps.
Base Hospital No. II
Boulevard Voltaire
Dion, France.
Dear Mother:-
Just received your welcome letter Of
November II, 1918, and now that the
war is over, can more than disclose
my address. l can tell you about my
first and only trip to the front
Billy Reid and l were sent to a
(Verdun 'FRONT.' dressing station with
two five-ton trucks loaded with Medi-
cal Supplies from the M. T. c., as they
were short of drivers and sent to the
Hospital for two men to make a trip
and of course as l had never seen any
of the war yet, I took a chance and
believe me, saw it.
We went as far as Apremont with
out mishap or excitement, when we
ran into a German barrage of Aus
trian 8S's, where they were shelling
a bridge over the Dormoise river. The
river at that point was not over
twenty yards wide and as fast as the
Engineers could build bridge, a
shell would blow it to pieces. I saw
this bridge blown up three times be-
tween 2:3O p. m. and dark and it was
not until dark that was able to pro-
ceed to the dressing station and un-
load and get back of the lines before
daylight.
Any one who has ever been to the
front under fire and says he wasn't
scared, is only putting on, because
have about as much nerve as any one
and I'll admit was scared.
l don't have the least idea when
will be home yet, but l can't get there
too soon now that it is over. OF
course we still have some patients
here to be cared for and until they are
well our work is not done. I am trust
ing l will keep as healthy as I am
now.
I will close now, as ever with love.
HARRY.

ceased firing on the eleventh
month, eleventh day ond eleventh
hour. We did not know for sure
that it was over until Monday
might. Our truck had gone out to
draw rations and it returned with
the welcome but almost unbeliev-
able news. Before dark on Monday
evening all along the line in our
sector could be seen a great dis
play of fireworks. The boys up on
the front line had every reason to
rejoice, as they had seen and tast-
ed all the bitterness of war and
all it's horrors. How great must
TO have been their joy to know that
they were through with standing
i'm the mud of the trenches, sleep
ing on the cold ground, and watch
ing their comrades fall by shell
fire and the deadly machine guns.
Then, too, lit must to have been a
great relief to know that they
would not need the gas mask or
steel helmet any more. Gas has
reaped it's crop of victims and
there are many men who did not
pay the supreme sacrifice, who will
feel the effects of this very i'm
plement of the devil, in after
years. Had our men not been
equipped with as good masks as
what they were the war might to
have been still going on, as the
Germans used gas in clouds, shells
and bombs at all stages of the
game. Then, too, the machine gun
played an important part. Where
the Huns retreated, they used to
1eave men behind with no other
fate before them but to be killed
or made prisoners) equipped with
machine guns, and plenty of am
munition, and these used ito reap
their toll of victims. We have
heard of much Hun treachery.
Chief among these was where a
machine gun squad would throw
up their hands and call "kamerad,"
then when our men advanced to
take them prisoners they used to
operate the gun by means of foot
lever, throwing a spray of deadly
bullets among our men. We also
have heard that these men were
shown very little mercy when they
were overcome. 1t is the men who
went over the top who know the
full significance of the armistice,
and if there is any partiality
shown when the A. E. F. returns
these are the men to whom it
should be shown. 1t is a great re-
lief to us to know that we can have
light wherever we please at
night without fear of Hun air.

Corporal Little Wouldn't Give
&c for Similar Ones

In the following letter recently
received by Esmer B. Wilson,
Corporal Orville Little tells some
thing of the hardships borne by
the fighting man on the front lines
and his, anxiety ito get home:
Dec. 8, 1918.
Hulsti, Belgium.
Dear friends Esmer and Harriet:
Your letter received today and
was very glad to hear from you,
and l Thought l had better answer
it today while l have the chance,
as we are probably going Ito move
tomorrow and l may not have the
chance again for while. l think
our destination from here lis Dun
kirk and it is 60 kilometers or in
United States talk, about 45 miles
and we have ito walk it, SO l don't
suppose we will be able to make it
in a day. Where we are going from
there it is very. hard to say, but
l hope we climb ON board a trans
port bound for home. A fellow
came in here little while ago and
told us that we were going to Dun
kirk and from there to La Maeis,
France for three months extensive
training. Well, the fellows about
KILLED him right there, so you see
l haven't the least idea in the
world when we will get home for
one fellow comes i'm with the news
that We'll be home by the middle
of January, and in about 5 min
,utes some one else comes in with
the encouraging news that we
won't be home before Easter. SO
there you are, and l don't pretend
to believe a darn one of them.
Well, one thing I'm very thankful
for anyway is the thought that the
war is over, or in French (Finis
La Guerre). Believe me | wasn't
looking forward with very much
interest, about having to sleep in
shell holes and mud and have to
face the German artillery and
whizz bangs all winter. Although
l haven't seen as much fighting as
some of them, perhaps, but I've
seen my share, and although l
wouldn't take $4,000 for my ex-
periences, l wouldn't give 2 cents
for another like it. We We're in the
Verdun drive at the Argonne For
est and l expect you have read
about it i'm the papers, and in the 5
days l spent ON that drive |
know l lived about 2 months. We
were ON it for days and 6 nights
and l know that l didn't sleep 8
hours the whole time and the first
3 days had just little can of
meat and about three hard tacks to
eat, and it was also an impossible
ity TO get any water. And l tell
you was laying out there in a
field with the Germans pounding
us with artillery. l prayed, and l
believe that at least 9 out of every
10 men out there prayed, for she'll
were dropping within 6 or 8 feet
of us and you could see one after
another of your comrades wounded
