Letter from Willie Cheatham
to His Aunt, Mrs. r. E. Morgan
Claude.
Somewhere in France,
December T, 1918.

Somewhere IN france,
December Z, 1918.
Dearest Aunt Bessie:
l have just returned to my batal-
lion somewhere in France, and upon
returning found:youf letter waiting
for me. Oh, 1 was so glad to hear
from you again.
l thank you ever 80 much for wish
ing to send me Christmas box. / did
not get any of the Christmas tickets
until it was too late to send them, so
thought l could make out just as
well without Christmas box. -
l will just wait for the time which
is sooa coming when I can elaoy
those good things with you all. Just
write every chance you have, and if
you never have time, do so at half
chance.
Aunt Bessie, I have been on fur
Tough in London. You can imagine a
grand time. Some city, believe "Old
Bill" A place for the Yanks to have
good time. My furlough, enjoyed
so much, but the long journey was a
trifc wearisome.
While in London, I forgot that
there had ever been any war, or that
1 ever did any fighting, but it is well
we can forget such horrible things as
we did and saw.
l am glad that you have heard
from Percy and I hope he is not
wounded as badly as thought
l am getting on just fine and am
as solid as a dollar, but my escape is
a miracle.
If you see Lieut.. Greneker again
tell him "hello" and that said he Ger
tainly was lucky.
l have just received and read a
letter from Maude Ligon. They all
will write to me sometimes, but
seem to be very slow. She told me
the last time they heard from John
ME Ligon he was coming across, so l
don't guess he has been over long e.
nough to have gotten into the fun,
as some of the boys call it. Now, it
didn't seen ike fun to me, but I'm
going re you one little instance
of W .cl. know to be true. While my
company was going over the top and
the enemy was retreating, one little
boy looked around to some of the
boys at his side-burst into a big
laugh and said Boys, isn't this
funw l tell you the Yanks are hard
to beat, they all have the right spirit,
don't you think so?
hope 1 will not have to write you
all many more letters before I will
see you again. am looking for let
ter from home every day now, don't
think they write me as often as they
should.
Well, Aunt Bessie, when I do get
to see you all, will try and give you
a little of my experience.
Write me az often az you can, al
ways like to hear from you and Un-
Gle Edd.. am going to writo to Jan
ice right away.
With love to you all,
Willie Y. Cheathan.

sitiOns about it. At one time it was
dominated by the Romans later it was
raised to the ground by the Vandals
Since then, it has been gradually re
built and now one finds it to beta typi
cal good-sized French city.
The scenery in this vicinity is radi
cally different from that of the rural
districts of Iowa. The small fields arc
all divided Off by stone fences, giving
the landscape the appearance of a
checker board The soil resembles a
yellowish clay with generous mix
ture of stone and rock. The cOncoctiOn
that results from the mixture of rain
and this soil is mud of the Finest tex
ture" Webbed feet would greatly as
sist our navigating in the slush. One
thing for which the French must be
given credit is their system of national
roads. They are all made of crushed
rock, while tall, well trimmed trees
grow at regular intervals along the
sides. Although these roads have had
severe punishment for four years, they
are still in mighty good shape. Ameli-
can negro labor battaliOns are now
working on them in this vicinity, fiji.

Since our arrival in this camp, we
have been able to get a clear insight
Of true peasant life. Nearly all the
poorer classes wear wooden shoes. Men
and women, young and old, work side
by side in the fields. Tile most popular
vehicle seems to be the two wheeled
cart. One finds them now, out in the
woods cutting small brush and branch-
es at even lengths bundling them up
and carrying them home for fuel. To
look at these slow and apparently in
different people, one cannot help but
wonder how such a race could produce
such wonderful soldiers.
Although our camp is not so very far
from the former battle line, it is aston
ishingly true that even while war was
going on, conditions about here did not
seem especially abnormal. People not
in uniform seemed to be getting along
well, in fact many seemed prosperous
1t is generally recognized that wher-
ever American troops have been sta
toned, the natives are financially well
fixed" Every one. from peasant to
merchant, charges exhorbitant prices
for their produce and merchandise.
Since the signing Of the armistice
many French soldiers have returned to
their homes, but they were not received

Il was just twenty-seven years ago
today that Bascom Huddlestun rolled
into Webster City on the bumpers.
Some guys are born lucky and Bas
belongs to this breed. But beside
being lucky, he is also an accomplish
ed highwayman. You know in this
day and age some men accumulate
wealth by profiteering and others be-
come Just honest-to-goodness stick
up men. And Bias prefers the latter
method When he landed here with
s. or so in his jeans he went out and
bought farm for S29.4O per acre
if that isn't highway robbery, Web
ster's dictionary is no authority.
Well, Bias sold this farm some years
later and then bought it back. He
owns it today and this spring refused
1915 an acre for it And what with
land and Missouri mules, Bas, has be-
come one Of our very best known
predatory rich. But he's a game bird
and we'd rather smoke a cigar on
him than most any guy we know OF
in town. He's a regular fellow and
we'd say that the town was lucky
twenty-seven years ago as well as
Bas.

3O2 Tank Center, January 26, 1910
My Dear Father: This is Sunday and
as some OF the casual outfits of this
district started for Bordeaux today,
have been thinking quite seriously of
home. a thought came to me that
might try to convey to you some i'm.
pressions of our surroundings and en-.
virOnment here.
One thing that the A. E. +. in this
section will agree to unanimously, is
that the expression Sunny France is
positively hackncyed and very de
ceiving phrase. If it doesn't rain on a
certain day, it's cloudy, so it might as
well be raining as far as seeing the sun
is concerned.
| The Tank Center is situated about
five, kilometers from the city of Lang
