The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1919-01-17
From, Soldier BOYS

Letter from Sergeant Jesse A. Lam
son, Headquarters Co., 18th, Field
Artillery, A. +. +. to the True
NOrtherner. The letter was dated
from Bar-le Due, France, December
7th, 1918.
Just received an edition of The
True Northerner dated November Is,
and was amused when | read the
notes on the celebration which you
had there. There is no doubt about
it that everybody was happy, but l
can say there were none happier than
the boys on the line. OF course, we
couldn't celebrate as you all did back
home, but we built bon-fres, shot up
some of our ammunition, and sung
songs. After it was all over, we
moved back to a rest area and have
been here since. Will probably re-
main here until peace is settled, and
then move toward home.
All we are doing now is eating, and
keeping in good health, while some
of the boys have gone on furloughs.
We were in all the big drives from
Chateau Theirry to the end and /
didn't miss any Of it. The only thing
we missed out on was being in the
army Of occupation, but Pm satisfied.
The question the boys want answer
ed now is "When do we go home",
and believe me the old home town
will look good to me. Hoping l shall
be with you all in few months, am.

direction, scattering death all around.
Thank God, it is all over, and peace
will SOON be signed. Gee, ! wish they
would start me for home pretty quick.
This is a nice place all. right but l
don't like it. Give me the good old
u. S. A. always and forever. How
did you like my mustache in the
picture. 1t is a peach. Hope / may
soon be home. Love to you all.

Excerpts from letter from Private
Claude Kline to his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Kline of Paw Paw.
The letter was dated December Is.
Dear Mother, Father and ALL

a bit of snow, and while it is little
cool in the morning, it warns up dur

slept. l have laid down a good many
nights on the ground with not even
a pup tent over me. Just wrap a
blanket around me and lie down in
the mud. In the morning we would
be wet through and through and soak
ed with mud. We wouldn't build
a fire to get dry by either for we
were near the enemy lines and the
smoke would have revealed our loca-
tion. That would mean those big
shells dropping all around. When
one of those big shells explode, the

Letter ITOm ITiNdtt Lyh ~ yuoius
to Dad. Dated from POnt-A-
MOussOn, France. The letter is
embellished by two of Lynn's char
acteristic pen sketches, depicting d
street scene at this place at night.
One is entitled, Getting il on" the
other Getting it off,. The at" re-
fers to mud. Following is the
letter.
Dear "Dad":- Owing to the fact
that those in authority have deemed
it advisable and practicable to lift the
iron clamp of censorship, or release
it to an extent, so that news may
fl):y mere loosely, | am going to do
little Double Time" with my self
filler. You have been fully inform
ed about this pleasing arrangement
no doubt.
This will read and seem more like
letter from ne ! presume. | know
feel more like writing letter, from
the fact that my letters when in true
form are spectacular nothings, which
privilege I have been rudely deprived
Of since Hoboken was lost in the mist.
We are now in Pont- Mousson,
France, a. beautiful but well perfora-
ted city in the Vosges Mountains.
1t is near the city of Nance and
- lot
The city was almost deserted when
We moved in, except for colored
American troops. However,, the
French soldiers and civilian popula
tiontion are rapidly returning to
claim their "Once Was" homes.
French, British and Italian prisoners
are returning daily in large numbers
from Germany. They have of course
been itching during their captivity
to relieve their minds, and the yarns
they unload upon us are quite inter-
esting. One French prisoner told
me the other day that the people Of
Germany shouted "Viva France" as
the french leIC beTnldny.
We landed at Liverpool, stayed at
camp there and then went to Rum
| sey. From there to Southampton and
by the Channel to Cherbourg, France,
| to Guefrey, thence to several other
places in Western France and finally
to Geve, and were about six weeks at
this point. France was made a re-
placement mint, and the majority of
us were transferred to the 328th,
Field Artillery. | am in Battery A.
now. From the last mentioned place
we went to the Metz front and were
in active service eleven days before
armistice was signed, and it was a
warm eleven days, believe me.
From the front we returned to this
little city, and have very comfortable
quarters, but for how long | don't
know.
The days that are passing are
anxious days for all the boys. All
are anxious to return to their homes
and the news about when that will be
is more or less contradictory. I
am doing my best to keep in good
physical condition, and in the proper
frame of mind until / can shake the
o. ID.
My mail has been "Gummed Up" on
account of my transfer. | have had
but one letter from you over here.
l have no information but hope all
is well at home. Keep a stiff upper
lip.

There is considerable grumbling
over the fact that the American
soldiers are still kept in Russia. Some
critics have even gone so far as to
express a fear that our boys might
starve OF freeze to death in those
frigid regions OF Northern Russia.
There is no need TO worry over the
boys so far as care and comfort is
concerned. The American govern
ment has made ample provisc
all that. What the War Department
should do and at the earliest possible
date, is to announce to the folks at
home, just what our troops are in
Russia for. The American people are
just as willing that our soldiers
should remain in Russia, if it is
necessary to consummate the peace
plans of the Allies, as they are will
ing that our boys should constitute a
part of the great army of occupation
in Germany; But inquisitiveness is a
characteristic of the American people
and fathers and mothers have a right
to know for what purpose their boys
are retained in a country with which
we are not at war. An early an
nouncement of the Russian policy of
the Allies will clear up the whole
matter, and make more harmonious
patriotic feeling among the home
folks. In the meantime don't worry.

Up to this time, no snow pillow has
been seen on the sidewalks of the
village, although there has been
several heavy falls of snow. We
don't know what the idea is, but GER
tainly some provision should be made
by the village officials to clean the
walks after fall of snow, for tn
comfort and convience of pupils of
the schools if for nothing else.

This striking picture of operations on
the actual field of battle was writ
ten by Sergeant Harry w. Miller,
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. w. X. Miller
of Almena township. The writer
is i'm a hospital in Bath, England
recovering from wounds received on
the field of battle, and the letter
was written from there to friend
In Rochester N. Y. and published
in paper IN that city. 1t will be
remembered that Sergeant Miller
was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal for gallantry on the
field of battle, i'm the drive he so
wildly described i'm the following

Mediterranean Air Bass.

A far-reachins program of aviation
In tine French colonial possessions In
Africa has been drawn up by the COM
mission ON aerial transports at Tunis.
Algeria. which recommends that a
great aerial transport center be estab-
lished, with Tunis as Its base, in order
to centralize aerial traffic over the
Mediterranean sea. Inaslnuch as Tunis
occupies an advantageous position, at
the junction of French and interna-
tional colonial possessions, regular
aerial service. it is urged, between
Tunis and outlying districts would
benefit the French protectorate. AL
ready a line Of airplanes Is in opera
ton between Gabes, an Algerian sea-
port, and the frontier of Tripoli; and
this, in the expectation of colonial
officials, will be extended to Tunis.
So the "unchanging East" is fast be-
coming a by-word only of times past.
