GUY M. CROWDER WRITES FROM CAMP SHELBY

Camp Shelby, Miss., Sunday, Aug. 18, 1918. Dear Mother and All: — I expect you think by this tame that I do not intend to write, but I have not had time since last Sunday to write to anyone. Monday last we started on a five days’ hike. We went through New Augusta, Harry, Hattiesburg, Purvis, Brookhn and McLaurin, over eighty miles, with full equipment. I wish you could have seen us march through Hattiesburg. Our columns were about two miles long, Headquarters company at the head of the line. Everyone carried a shelter half (that is half a tent), one blanket, one change of underwear, two pairs of sox, in a blanket roll strapped to his saddle, also toilet articles, miscellaneous outfit, grooming brushes, comb, meat can, two horse shoes, sixteen nails in his saddle bag, feed bag and one feed of oats upon the top of the blanket roll. Believe me, that equipment on the saddle makes a load for a horse. There was a lot of horses with saddle sores, but they were not brother Floyd’s or mine. A good rider takes good care of his horse.

You should have seen us come in. We were tired, dirty, hungry. Gee, if I ever get home again I can tell you some interesting things about the army. _ It will soon be a year since I was at home. Some times it does not seem so very long, then again it seems a long time. I would give almost anything to be with you again, say to be there some Sunday. 1 would like to ask Herbert to hitch up my horse for me, or ask father for the car; gee, but that would be great. You remember the eight boys that were transferred from Co. M while we were in Rensselaer to the Rainbow Division. One of our boys got a letter from one of them. He said that he had been captured by the Germans and they cut his ears and nose off and he was in the hospital. He got away from them some way. O, yes, the boys that left here when Ray Lanham left have been on the firing line, and we are still at Camp Shelby, but our days are numbered. We will leave about the first of September if not before. I was over and ate dinner with Floyd and Goldie today. Had a real good dinner and it made me think of home, the best place on earth. That is the reason I want to get a chance to fight for it. We had church and a band concert this evening. 'I wish you could hear an army chaplain talk. Ours is one of the best men I ever met. We are living under field conditions now. All plain food, but it is good and all we want. I still weigh one hundred and sixty pounds, and can stand most anything. Only now I am in want of some sleep, so I will finish and get to bed. Not a bed like the one I had at home, but I can sleep on the floor or ground, use my shoes or saddle for a pillow, and sleep like I was in a feather bed, and I never cough any more. Mam, I am sending you a service pin to wear. I will send pop one if I can find one for a man to wear. When you thresh tell me how much grain you have, and Herbert, please write. You write fine letters and I miss you an awful lot. With love, your son and brother, GUY M. CROWDER. Hg. Co. 137th F. A., Camp Shelby, Miss.

Friends here have received word from Prof. L. E. Wass, formerly a member of the Rensselaer high school faculty, but now located at Davenport, lowa. Prof. Wass is in charge ?• the industrial work »n the : ii<h school at that place. He likes his work there very much and last year received $1,400 and this year he is given a S2OO increase.

Henry Paulus called at this office Tuesday evening. He was at his farm in Whitley county last week. Fie reports that over in that part of rhe state the corn in many places is badly damaged by the drought. Throughout that part of the state wheat averaged from twenty to thirty jushels to the acre. Oats were the best crcp ever known in the history nf tnat part of the state and some farmers had a yield as large as 101 bushels to the acre. e

LETTER FROM ONE OF RAINBOW DIVISION SOLDIERS

July 20, 1918. Mrs. Wm. Barbour, Roselawn; Ind. Dear Sister and Family:— I will answer your kind and welcome letter which I received a few days ago. Your letter was dated June sth. I am well and feeling June sth. I am wel land feeling fine, although I have just come from the hqspital, where I was a short time. We lately came off the busy front and I don’t know where we are going. While we were at the front we sure had some battle. The Huns tried to penetrate our lines but made a complete failure and lost very heavy, and they say No Man’s Land was covered with the dead and wounded, and believe me, sister, it was a terrible sight. When the attack started we couldn’t hear ourselves think. The Germans used some gas but the wind was in our favor. We didn’t lose any men in our battalion but we lost some horses. I think the Boche are about finished. We are having some fine weather, the farmers here have a good crop of small grain and the wheat fields are golden yellow. I looked over a field when I came from watering my horses today and seen two binders going and I seen two fields shocked. Some of the grain was twisted with the wind, but I hope they save it all as it would be a great help to the soldiers. I witnessed a Hun plane shot down the other day. I was within a few feet of it but did not get a piece of it as a souvenir. The aviators were wounded and taken prisoners. Dear sister, you wrote that all the folks were well except yourself, but you didn’t say what was the trouble. I received a very interesting letter from sister Myra today. I guess I will have to close because.we are going to make another move tomorrow and I have to wash some clothes so Jthey will be dry by tonight. With good wishes and love to all, Your brother, PVT. EDW. PEREGRINE. Bat. E, 150th F. A., A. P. O. 715, A. E. F., France.

Letter from U. S. S. New Jersey. Dearest Mother and All:-r-I am breaking my schedule. I don’t suppose you care, though. We have moved again up in the torpedo range. Of course, I can’t tell you where that is. It is very interesting to watch the firing. It starts about fifteen feet under water and is fired by compressed air. The minute she leaves the ship bubbles come to the surface and she leaves foaming water behind. You can follow her way out on the range. They have to get her as soon as she stops or she will sink, and that means a job for the divers. They have steamers and motor boats all along the course. They take after her until they are nicely left behind, then the next one takes up the chase. They are firing these to tept them out. But one of them started straight enough but when she was about 1,000 yards from the ship she turned and circled clear behind the ship and when about that far on the port side she turned back and hit the stern of the ship. It didn’t do any damage to us since it had the soft head on, but it immediately sunk and then the divers went down after it. They got it all right, but she was in a pretty sorry condition when brought aboard.

I got a letter from a girl in Chicago and she said she envied me my life on the cool ocean. I just wish she could have been aboard yesterday and the day before. If it is any hotter up there than it is down here I am perfectly willing to stay here. It was 105 in the shade here, and if you could find any shade unless you went below you were lucky. It was the worst I was ever in. It was so sultry -you couldn’t get a breath of air. You could just sit down and sit still and the perspiration would just pour off. I changed clothes twice in the same day from the skin out and they were just sopping wet. You could have wrung a quart of perspiration out of each garment. It was simply awful. I hate to think of ever going through it again. Last night though, about 9 o’clock a pretty hard storm blew up. We had a big observation balloon tied on the and the wind came up so suddenly it was carried away before it could be hauled down. They haven’t found it yet. It was very lucky that there was no one in it at the time. We were called out at about 10. It was pitch dark and the wind was blowing a very hurricane. It was the most beautiful and terrible sight I have ever seen. The waves were dashing way up in the air with all the huge search lights on the ship playing on the water to see that nothing rammed into us. It nearly carried the awning off the quarter deck, but we finally secured it. Then we had to haul in the big hausers that anchored us to the buoys. By this time it had started to rain and the drops blown by the wind stung like a whip. But we had everything secure by this time and after battening down the hatches we went below and I put in the best night’s sleep I have had since I came aboard. It cooled off wonderfully and has been bearable all day today. I am feeling fine and have nothing to complain about except that it is rather crowded here. But I must close now and wash a suit of whites and a mattress before “chow.” With love to all, FRENCH CROOKS.

WEDNESDAY WAR SUMMARY

Three wedges were being driven into the German lines between Arras and Soissons today, each of which spells additional disaster to the hard pressed armies of the Kaiser. Ludendorf is using his reserves freely, especially against the 1 British, and counter attack after counter attack is being made, but the relentless advance of the allies continues. The censors late last night permitted the Universal Service correspondent at the British front to cable that the present battle, which has developed into one of the most vital actions of the war, promises even greater magnitude. “There is every indication that this is to be a fight to the last ditch,” he adds. “The German lines are crumbling and so is their morale.” On the north, the British, who were reported yesterday Jto have driven across the top of the Hindenburg line, but surely, over ground which has not been fought over since 1914. Further south, Field Marshal Haig’s armies are pressing forward toward Combles and Peronne, both bases vital to the German scheme of defense.

Ludendorf is hurling his heaviest masses of reserves into the Bapaume sector, -endeavoring to stave off the apparently inevitable, and there the British advance has been slowed down. On the Avre, where the French are fighting, a big hole has been crushed in the enemy line. Roye has been taken, the French have advanced on a wide front and have taken eight towns in the last twenty-four hours’ fighting. 1 Between the Oise and the Aisne Gen. Mangin’s tenth army continues to advance, increasing the threat to the Chemin des Dames positions, while the Americans at the Vesle are increasing their pressure on the; enemy.
