FROM OVERSEAS

Private Irving L. Smith writes: 81
am sure that my friends have won
dered what the former shoemaker was
doing in this historic Country of
France. I am still repairing shoes
over here and am getting along fine
as the other boys from Kansas City
are doing. We of course are a little
anxious to return home. Our exper-
fence is great and we will have lots
of news when we return home. We
are now living in the quiet valley of
this bloody battlefront and know what
it means to go through the fires of
war. In this devastated district it is
indeed pitiful to see the returning
civilians come back to these torn
towns and shelled fields where once
p o a time they were happily domt-
ciled. We have been raided and shell.
ed by German longe range guns in
this the hardest of the whole battle
front. These fields and woods of the
Argonne have machine gun nests that
almost made them impossible to take.
All kinds of trenches and dugouts
grace this section of the front. We
have now past our first six months
and we have our tripe on Il sleeves
and we are expecting to be in the good
old L. S. A. before long now. This
travel and experience has taught us
many things. The French people are
very congenial and as you well know
there is no color line in England or
France. We were royalty received
everywhere. Among the many things
we have learned is the value Of a dol.
lar. Our mail sergeant sends from
800 to $1,000 per day to friends and
relatives of the soldiers of the United
States. The value of home. and the
love for home together with all the
many c~onveniences of home have been
realized by all the men since their
war experience. "

I've lived in muddy trenches
Where screaming shot and
Gas and dirt and coolies
Make life a merry He'll.
And now mid all the glamour
OF Gay Paree" I Dam,
But something makes me watch my
step;
It's the girl back home.
l wander on the ~bOuleYards
And painted demoiselles
Give flat ring invitations
They're I ght thee with the bells.
But nom of them look good to me,
For ia across the foam
I know a cal ones waiting;
She's the girl back home.
I've got a bunch of buddies
Who like to hit the booze,
They go zig-zag on cognac
Or tank up on Vim Rouge;
But any guy who falls for that
Has got an ivory dome
Ar else he doesn't think a lot
OF the girl back home.
Some day Well get order
Back home the regiment goes;
Across the pond Wen sail Tout suite"
Put on Civilian cothesl;
And then oh boy, ONE my reward,
No more abroad I'll roam.
But settle down to real home life
With the girl back home.
