PAUL WORLAND WRITES TO HIS PARENTS

Mr. and Mrs. David M. Worland have received three interesting-let-ters from their son, Paul, who is with the medical corps in France. These letters were written on Aug. 7th, Bth and 11th. The following interesting extracts are given: France, August 7, 1918. Dearest Mother:— . For the first time since I enlisted I am able to give you some first-hand war news. I have been movmg pretty fast in the last week and haven t yet caught up iwith the retreating enemy. Just the same I know a great deal more even where I am than I did before. I have just gone through miles of the ■ territory that the Germans iave left in their haste to get out of the range of our guns. Ever since I have been in this section I have seen

nothing but German arms on the field, in dugouts and every place that a German might have been whfen they received their orders to leave. They have suffered heavy losses in trying to stay the advance of the’Americans. They have used all sorts of ruses and schemes to fool us. I talked to a doughboy who had been in one of the allied attacks and he told me that the Germans had stretched the tnpod of a machine gun out on a litter and carried to the most advantageous point. Then when they had arrived close to our lines they would throw off the blanket from the litter that was supposed to carry a wounded soldier and open fire. That only worked a few times and in this particular case the fake htter bearers will probably resign their jobs. . .

It is a great war and we are being fed better now that we ever were. We surely were held in a training camp a long time. Since I have arrived here it begins to look as if 1 should have been over here a long time ago. . . I am feeling fine and am enjoying the novelty of war. Of course, I don’t know how soon I may change my mind, but as long as we are moving towards Germany I think that 1 will enjoy it. Closing now and hoping that you will realize that it will be harder for me to write and that because I am up nearer the fighting line my letters are more apt to go astray. I am, as ever, Your loving son, _ PAUL H. WORLAND. M. D. 16th F. A., Am. Ex. Forces.

Medical Department, 16th F» A., A. E. F., Aug.- 8. Dearest Mother: — Last night is the first time that I have received a letter from you or anyone for a long time. I surely was glad to get my letter from you and I was glad to .know that Leo ‘has such a fine baby boy. If the new one js as fine as Anita Jane, then he is ap| to be some boy. I received a couple of letters from John in the same mail that brought your letter, and he was planning visiting me. However, since I have movet from Bordeaux that will be impossible and he will have to take the regular trip arranged for their recreation. I think I told you in. a letter not long ago that I was seeing what was only a few days ago a battlefield. 11: I didn’t then I will te*ll you now. The Germans are still on a* backwarc march and that makes it necessarj for, me to move, too. War is stil vei*y new to me and I have jumped

two feet in the air when a gun is shot off near me. lam getting more accustomed to the noise now and Ibefore long my gun-shyness will be gone. German souvenirs are losing, their interest and I can now pass them without giving them a backward glance. Like most everyone else when they get over here they begin to collect‘souvenirs to take back to the States. And like most everyone else I have given up the plan for if I get all of my equipment away with me every time I move I will have more load then than I am anxious to carry. Yesterday I met a fellow from Worland, Wyoming, that I had met on my last trip to the West and he told me of an Indiana outfit that was camped near by. I got permission from my major to go over and I met William Reed. That is Mark Reed’s son, and he is the same old boy except that heis getting heavier. Howard Ames and Eddie Rose, of near Francesville, are in the same outfit, and if I can get away tonight Reed is going to help me ■'round them up. There are three or four more of Jasper county and since my duties are probably less confining I am going to see as many as I can find.

16 F. A., A. E. F., Aug. 11. Dear Father and All: I have a little more time to write and the apparatus to do it with. I have little to say except about the way this war appears when one is in it and ca nsee it at close range. Before I go further I want to tell you that since I saw Mark Reed’s boy I have been able to see Ed Rose, who lives on the Francesville pike, and Howard Ames, who also lives near Rensselaer. Young Oppie Wolf is in the same outfit but he was engaged in hauling Ammunition to the front and I didn’t get to see him and probably won’t. Bill Potts is another Rensselaer fellow in the same outfit in which I found the rest. They have all been in active service sometime and they all take it like all veterans. I am absolutely new and when I was walking down the road toward the front I was pretty nervous. Howard Ames was with me and any shells that don’t hit him don’t worry him. It is apt to take me some time to feel that way about it Every time one bursts wthin my sight I feel that the Germans had me in mind in particular when they addressed it Ames has it all reasoned out, and so does Rose. About eight shells that the Germans shoot over are what they call duds and do not explode. The shells that do explode are, I suppose, divided about equally 'between gas and shrapnel. The gas doesn’t seem to give us much worry but the shrapnel I suppose is really dangerous. At least they are the ones that make

me jump when I hear them come. I think that we have about as many ways for protecting ourselves as the Germans have ways for attacking. In the first we camouflage ourselves the best we can. (If you don’t know what that means then you will learn it over here. When we first land in a camp we are comparatively safe. One never can tell, though, when we will be discovered and Shells may begin to drop any time. If they are gas shells we have our gas masks and when we get them on we are comparatively safe. There are two kinds of gas attacks, shell and cloud. The shell attacks are not so bad for «s because it is hard/ for the Germans to put enough shells in to make the gas concentrated enough. The cloud gas is the kind that causes worry and loss of sleep, but in the artillery *we don’t get it ofteta. Well, so much for gas. ~

If we receive shrapnel shells they are more of,a worry. When they burst the shells throw out the bits of steel and has the ability to kill at a hundred yards more or less. That is not always the case, though, for yesterday a shell landed just between two horses, exploded, and didn’t do anything more serious than frighten the horses. We can always hear a shell coming and have time to get into a dugout. A dugout is a hole in the earth just deep enough to get you below the surface of the earth. Probably you thing that they are underground houses, but they are not. They are open on top and if a shell should make a direct hit a fellow would be out of 'hick. The chances are that'the shell won’t get very close to my hole and if it does it likely will explode and go over my head.

One hears the most noises at the front. The shells that we shoot make an awful deafening noise when they start on their trip. Our machine guns sound like a pile-driver or something like that. A person can burn up a lot of good ammunition in one of these in just a few minutes. They shoot at a long range. Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat, is the nearest to their sound. A shell that conies from Germany that is a shrapnel comes over with a whistling sound which is almost a wail. It is several seconds in coming over and one has plenty of tifne if he works fast io get in a dugout, that is, providing there is a dugout near. If there is no dugout then the only thing, left to do is jo throw yourself on the ground and Ihope that the explosion goes off in the air, or better still, that there is no explosion. It is surely wonderful the number of shells shot and the very, very few that do more than property damage. A gas shell takes as long as toy other to come over and with a little practice one is able to distinguish it from the others and put on a mask •before it arrives. They are filled with gas condensed in to a liquid and because of that when eomiftg through the air they have a peculiar wobbling sound. When they burst they give off a black smoke and then followed by a cloud of gas that floats about in the air. I was up to a little .town this morning and on the way I Saw some German prisoners. They are very young and none of them would be able to grow a beard. When I got up to the town I talked to an ambulance driver. He told me of a German who had been operating a machine gun up in a tree. When the Americans got close enough he jumped out of the tree and surrendered. Whether he turned yellow or not I don’t know, but after he had been fed a little he said he was anxious for the United States to win the war. He told them of a bridge the Germans used to cross a river back of their lines. At bight it was used continuously and in the day tipie when it was apt to be shelled by pur planes it was sunk. He read the signals for an attack on a outfit and they were the means of saving a good many casualties. I have written a great deal and now I will have to close. Hope you will keep me in news, and now good-bye. Love to all.

PAUL H. WORLAND.

Stanley Lane Writes From Camp Vail, New Jersey.

Canxp Vail, New Jersey. Dear Folks: Landed at last, at the best camp we have struck yet. We had a dandy trip. Left Meade at 9-30 a,' m., and got here at 7:30 p’ m. next evening; went through Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. We followed the Delaware and Hudson rivers for qiudtd a ways and are only twelve miles from New York —and only four miles from the coast. We will go there this evening for bathing. Long Beach, a city of about 30,000 population, is four miles from here. It is a summer resort for millionaires. One millionaire lady took us to the park in her limousine last night. The people here sure treat us fine. Wednesday evenings we have dancing lessons under her charge and also a big entertainment. „ She has charge of the Rea Cross

and Y. M. C. A, here. She fixed it up with our colonel so that we get free passes Wednesdays and Sundays to Long Branch; Pretty fine, don’t you think? The Y. M. C. A. sent out for twenty-five of us to learn to swim, so I am going. We were out to the ocean last night. It was a beautifuL-sight, so clear you could see for miles out, and the huge liners and submarine chasers were pictures. No picture could be painted as real or as natural as it really is. This is great stuff for an Indiana farmer to be seeing, ha, ha. Well, how are Ma’s chickens, ducks amd geese? And what are th folks doing? Getting ready to sow wheat, I suppose; but be sure and put lots of it in as I will be home to help eat it. Well, Lucy, I am glad you are anxious to go, I hoipe you will like your work and I don’t think you and Helen will get lonesome. Write me as soon as you are located.

We have some Red Cross girls here in camp. They have the “Y” and Red Cross under their charge Tfiey dress in uniform and we have to salute them the same as officers. We are always glad to get the chance, »just to get the smile. They both drive big cars and take soldiers to Long Branch back and forth on Sundays. Yesterday, while on a hike, a grand, oid lady came out and ordered three crates of peaches . and smokes for our whole company. Some treat. x A bunch of fellows came in from Purdue university yesterday. With them are two Myers boys from Wheatfield. •* - One aeroplane landed here measuring 100 feet from end to end, and weighing seven tons. Another is due here today, carrying 29 men and weighs over 15 tons. It’s wonderful to see them start and light. How is Kathryn’s baby? Have you seen her yet? We just got through with dinner for today. Oad a real one, too—mashed potatoes, gravy, steak, and rice pudding. (Hope this finds you all O. K., like I am, and don’t worry because, I am well, I couldn’t feel better —nothing like it. We are in tents now, board floor, screen sides, and have canvas cota, to sleep on.

COMPILED AND CONDENSED FOR COUNCIL OF DEFENSE BY GEORGE ADE. Once there were two men. The first walked right through the hellish fire of a machine gun, with a grin on his face.
