LETTER FROM GEORGE WOLF.

Somewhere in France, September 10, 1918. Dear Parente: — I expect you tihink I have forgotten you. but I haven’t been able to get any mull out to you fdr some time, for while we are on the front it le very hard to set mail out. Sometimes they carry our mail around a month or two at a time, without sending It out. So tbat is the reason you don’t get my mail regular. But please don’t let that worry you for I am in the very best of health ana am a hard old war veteran by now. But if I get a dose of hot lead I will wire you, but I am not knocking on wood; but I haven’t got any hot lead yet, As I stated in my last letter I got my foot run over by a loacl of shells, but It is all right now, all but my' toes. I will lose three toe nails, and then I will be all set again. Well mamma, I will have two service stripes by the 18th of October. That shows that I have been In Jpreign service for one year. But I don’t care for any more fcr a year over here is a plenty for anv rran at one time. But I suppose I will have about two more before I get back. But we should worry as long as we get old Mr. Kaiser, and don’t you worry, we are going to get him. I expect vou have read in the papers about the- old Rainbow Division. You can believe everything you hear about them, for they are h 1 on wheels when tfhey get started, and I guess the Huns know it by this time. I sure wish <1 could tell you where we were and what we have done in the last four months. You sure would get- an ear full, believe me, for we have fought a hot old war. i , I got an awful nice letter from Uncle Frank the other day. It was as big as a newspaper. He said he had read some of the letters I had written to you. He said Walter was going to enlist this fall. He had better enilst in the Salvation Army; it is much nicer. There is one branch of the Salvation army where we are at that bake pancakes, doughnuts, pies and cake for us, and also send them up to the front line to the infantry. They have got the’Y. M. C. A. beat all to the dickens. ' . I sure was surprised to hear that Dortha had a little boy. I feel more like a man now since I am uncle. Tihat means about six less Dutch anyway. I’ll bet Slssle is as bright as a little bird. I sure would love to see her. You said in your letter that it had been over a year that 1 had been in. Battery C, but you don’t realize it like I do, for I have seen and done some thrilling adventures in that year. You can’t imagine what we have seen since we left the States. We have beeen on the firing line for over seven months, and have, been on five different fronts. We sure ihad an awful hard rain here the other night. It rained all night and the next day. I was out in gll of it without a rain coat. I was almost frozen, but .you get used to it in this country. We had pancakes for breakfast this morning and*l ate nine. They were sure delicious. We don’t get them very often and I guess that is the reason they taste so good. I surely have had my fill of plums in the last two weeks. They grow , here in great quantities. There are no French people living ■ around here, so we can get all we want. We are not so hard up for tobacco at the present time, for we have it issued to us twice a week. I Well, dear mamma, I believe I have written all I can think of, so I guess that I will have to close for this time I and try and write more next time. Tell all the folks I said hello and that I send ; my love and best regards to all. Goodbye, with love, from your most loving son, GEORGE, I Pvt. George Wolf, Bat. C, 150 Field, American E. F., A. P.

LATE WAR BULLETINS.

Paris, Oct. 12.—-An official communique announces that the Germans have been compelled to abandon their positions on a sixty kilometer (thirty-seven miles) front north of the Suippe and the Arnes. Dispatches from the Champagne front say that General Gouraud is using cavalry in pursuit of the enemy. To the east the French and Americans gained seven miles at some points yesterday. The French have advanced to the Retourne over the most of its length and are within two and a half miles of Vouzieres. 'Vouzieres, Guise and other villages south of Laon are burning. It is possible that escape of the Germans in the Laon pocket may be cut off. With the American First Army, Oct. 12.—The Germans now have only five fully rested divisions on the western front to oppose the allied advance. These are not all first-class troops, however. This illustrates the seriousness of the enemy’s position as regards man power. American Transport Sunk. A British Port, Oct. 11.—A large number of American troops have been lost as the result of the sinking of the transport Otranto in the North channel between the Scottish and Irish coasts in a collision with the steamer Kashmir. The Otranto after the collision was dashed to pieces on the rocks off the south Scottish coast with a prpfiable loss of 372 American soldJrgrs. Three hundred and one mien were taken to Belfast by the British destroyer Mounsey, the only vessel which made an attempt at rescue in the terrific gale. London, Oct. 11.—According to the latest estimate 480 persons perished when the passenger liner Leinster was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine. The vessel carried 687 passengers and had a crew of about seventy men. Of the 150 wompn and children aboard the sheamship Leinster when < she was destroyed only fifteen have been accounted for. Severtd of these have died since they were brought to port.

INFLUENZA SITUATION.

Rensselaer and vicinity is thus far very fortunate in the number of fatalities from the Spanish influenza. Three deaths have occurred here. That of Charles Sell at the hospital, Mrs. John Burris and Mrs. Paul Norgor. The latter was complicated with other serious matters. There are no new cases at the college. There are quite a number of new cases in and about the city, but the doctors report that they have no cases which they do not feel will pull through all right Of course, they cannot tell what turn any case may take at any time. It seems to be the general opinion of our physicians that the worst is over. All feel that we have been very fortunate thus far in having so few fatalities, especially in consideration of the large number of deaths in our neighboring towns.
