PRAISES WORK OF LIEUT. BEELER IN FRANCE

The Indianapolis News publishes a letter from LieutX/01. E. D. Clark, of that city, in which he makes the following mention of Lieutenant Beeler, who is now doing work in a hospital in France. Mrs. Beeler and children are now making their home in Rensselaer: “We had a high commission vimting us yesterday, and they expressed admiration for our equipment; and I will say that the equipment that they were particularly interested in was that which we brought over with us. Our X-ray apparatus is the envy of all the X-ray men who have visited us, and that gives me the opportunity to say a word of praise for Lieutenant Beeler. He hat developed into a wonder. He is one of the most valuable men I have. “The war news grows better and better. It doesn't matter how seriously wounded a man is. They wiU 'come back filled with the spirit of victory, and are wild to get back and help terminate this struggle. We have practically no quitters in our army. The thing that pleased me moat of all is the admiration the French and Americans have for each other. The French say the American troops are the best on the earth, and the Americans have the same thing to say of the French. That sort of spirit and co-operation is boufid to win. We have, of course, been exceedingly busy, and no doubt will continue to be until the end of the war. When you see accounts of these terrible battles, then you may know that 32 is going her limit We are all in hopes that we can return to. America before a great while. We are not expecting, however, to come before next year, but we sincerely hope that by next summer it will all be over, and we will be coming back to take up our farmer occupations. There is no truer Saying than "There is no place like home.' We all realize that morethan ever before.”
