AMERICAN SHELLS TOOK
 UP ALL THE SPACE
uena Soldier Offers Unique Explan- ation for Failure Of Hun Artillery
 Fire to Be Effective.

uena Soldier Offers Unique Explan- ation for Failure Of Hun Artillery
 Fire to Be Effective.
 A rather unique explanation is made why the Hun artillery failed in the final test on the Western front by Harlowe Michael, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. P, Michael. of Mena The young soldier. writing from Kelberg, Ger many. on December 19, gives an in- teresting recital of the last great drive of the American forces, and among other things, says:
 "It seemed that we were in on all the drives of any importance. We were marched from Dieue up to Bier court and the batteries kept on until they took up their position for the drive. That night that the drive started, September 26, was one that will never be forgotten. It seemed that the whole world was coming to an end. You couldn't hear yourself think. You would lay in your bed on the ground and just rock back and forth as the guns roared. The firing was incessant for many hours. I never heard barrage that could com pare with this one. 1 believe the reason that the Germans could not get any shells over to us was because our shells took up all the space. We'll, we drove them all right, for a good ways, but we did not reach our ob- iectives. The drive continued from September 18th until November II or 12. We were relieved before the war was over"
 Soldier Michael evidently hasn't a high opinion of French railroads, for of them he says:
 After landing we made for a rest camp where we worked for several days and then proceeded to entrain in a beautiful train of box cars about half the size of the small American cars. They succeeded in getting about 39 in these cars, where they were supposed to get forty. Well, you can imagine that we had plenty of room, but we don't think it a real ity as we were just barely able to move about Well, just imagine how a sardine is packed and think of us. The train pulled out about as soon as she was loaded and of all the bounc- ing that we ever got, we got it right there. It seemed as tho every wheel (they only have four on these French cars) was fiat. We kept on our way all that night, the next day, and the next night"
 After several days of delightful travel on the box cars we were de- trained at a place that everyone knows by this time, the town of Chat eau Thierry, or rather city, as it is a quite large place. It will be immortal in history, as the place where the turning point of the war took place. It was here that the armies of Amer ica stopped the rush of the Hun and made him take flight. It was here that the kaiser himself came to watch his victorious armies go marching in- to Paris. Instead of watching them go forth so victoriously he saw them taken in utter rout and beat it. They had never felt the strength of the American babies (this is what they called us at first). They call diff ferent name now. l would print it., but it would not pass the censor"
