GERMAN SOLDIERS
WELCOMED HOME
Victorious Troops Are Con-
fident That England Will
Soon Be Smashed
BY HENRY C. CASSIDY

BERLIN, July 23- Up -Nazl
troopers fully confident that Eng
land soon will be smashed are re-
ceiving a cong leror's welcome nome
from the western front campaign
which cracked France.
T lust Travelled with some OF them
on an army train from Paris to Ber-
lin through France, Belgium and
the Netherlands.
After a two-day ride through a
deserted countryside they were greet
ed at the border by bands, hot tood
and cheers. Girls tucked flowers IN
their tunics, handkerchiefs fluttered
from windows, and the swastlka flew
over public buildings.
The troops talked triumphantly OF
| their conquests.
"Discipline and organization did
it." a young cavalryman said.
"It was material and troop Ella
tion," another said.
"In one month the war Will pe
finished" the cavalryman declared
1--WE will send over 1000 planes and
England will be smashed.
Judging from scenes along ou1
route there won't be many pattle
field tours after this war-so swiftly
did the blitzrieg pass.
Whole fields and forests were le1'
intact. most towns were standlns
and even in those where the allles
offered resistance, only few quar-
tiers were smashed.
Everywhere there were signs o!
quick reconstruction, and compared
to the devastation of the World wal
trench fighting this war genefallS
left only slight traces.
We left Paris at a. m. sunday.
The curfew kept people of the
streets until daylight and I was
forced to ride a bicycle to the station
Trundling over rebuilt tracks, the
train took twelve hours to reacE

Not until we reached Flanders was
there any real evidence OF Wal
Cambria was partly leveled and
nearby fields were pitted by bomp
craters.
Doors to the pill boxes gaped Gun
openings were wired over.
Inside Belgium, border towns were
more heavily hit. The Albert Canal
bed was still dry but laborers were
working there and refugees We're ie'
turning to fields and towns.

something to tell you.
Lou has had to put up with your
foolishness-Oh, / know there has
been a lot-sbe has had to cook
your meals, darn the toes Of your
socks, keep your house clean, work
all day, blow your nose most of the
tiue and now that you are two
shirts in the lead Of nothing, Betsy
wants you and you want to run
away with her and let the rest OF
the world go by. Run along with
Betsy so that when Betsy sees
someone else with three shirts
ahead, she can talk baby talk to
him and leave You.
Don't blame Lou for not falling
all over you when you appear, per-
haps long after time, smelling of
BetSJ's favorite perfume, and evil,
SO as not to be questioned. Lou is
the same girl you married but a
peck on the cheek in the morning
and dry "hOwdy" when you come

those loving caresses she enjoyed
during courtship and the first
years of marriage and is not at all

Before you go crazy and run

kiss her like you used to in the
