Newport, VT.
Dear father:
From the time we left the States
until now we have not been allowed
to say anything excepting that we
were alive and we'll or sick, as the
case might be.
But now we are allowed to say a
few more things. That is, we can
give a few dates and what we have
done and the place in which it took
place together with few details.
Well, father, / will profit of the
occasion to say few things that
have experienced in the past six
months.
First, we sailed from New York,
May the 9th, on the British Merchant
Ship, "Moldavia." This was on a
Monday, about noon, arriving at Hal
flax two days later where we stayed
ut the dock until Saturday noon when
we started across on our seventeenth
day on the water, MAY 23) at the
entrance OF the English Channel we
were aroused at 2.40 a. NJ, when
the ship was torpedoed. There was
great excitement for about two
minutes, then all went on deck to
wait for the orders to lower life boats
and RATS. The moment the ship was
struck it was reered towards shore,
both to avoid another hit and to try
to reach land. Twenty minutes later
the water had reached the engine
room and stopped the engines and we
were still about IA miles from shore.
The life-boats and RATS were then
lowered on, luckily, still waters and
we foated around for about a half
hour, then boarded submarine des-
troyers which had accompanied us
for two days. We remained near the
Moldavia until it had sunk out of
sight. then we were headed for Do
yer, England, where we arrived at IL
moon and remained there in large
hotel for two weeks.
From Dover we crossed the Chan
mel to Calais, France. The first two
nights we got another taste of war
in. different form. This was hv
German airplanes dropping bombs in
the city and near the capln.
After remaining in Calais about 10
days. we were sent to Ussy-sur- Marine

trained until the End of July. On the
3rd we went to Paris for the celebra-
ton of the independence Day. We
paraded before a very large crowd.
1t seemed as though the whole
French civilization population had
come to Paris to see the American
soldiers and to welcome them. We
walked on roses and carnations all
along the parade. While we were in
Paris we stayed in the Grand Palais.
We had the afternoon and all night
to enjoy the gentleness of the
French.
+ Leaving Paris on the 9Th of July,
we went back to Lily; and on the
18th of July we were up at the front
at Courtchamps, near Chateau Thi-
cry. The 22nd, we went back into
reserve and on the 4th of August
went back to the front at Fismes, on
the Vesle River between scissors and
Chateau Thierry, where was wound

joined my company at Rampont in
time to go to the front with them
near Verdun, Sept. 25, 1918, where
we took Montfaucon and drove back
the enemy about ten miles. We were
relieved Oct. % and have been hiking
over hundred miles since, till we.
reached this place for occupation,
and we expect to go some more soon.
The next letter I write to you may

because of the charges that Senators
Penrose and Lodge were back of the
Gfllett candidacy, and the charges
that Mr.. Mann was supported by the
reactionaries largely. They advanced
Mr.. Campbell as a progressive can

on the ground that it was the west
which furnished the republican ma

their candidate, twenty more than
necessary to nominate.
