v . v. . ... . . I "l,u,Ml u3 l" rna lnplr run- Duc w" Br' nm at our tlnUon yet. Howi ever, out you go. and report to head quarters for our papers. The transpot will leave In fifteen minutes for the front and the corporal in charge entertains us with a few hair raising stories of narrow escapes while going up the time. Ha! Hal we laugh away our fars. perhaps a trifle nervously. Off again, this time walking behind one of the supply wagons. In the distance we hear firing and soon th corporal tells. us that they (the Huns) are shelling , through which we must pass. Never mind, carry on. By the time we reach the shelling has ceased, but we see the results. No time to stop. Just keep going. We leave and the transport spreads out so an not to make such a good targe', and so we rroceed. Our destination Is . which the Germans are now shelling, and we see the shrapnel bursting all around. He hasn't touched the road yet and down in our hearts we hope he won't. . Now they are shelling . ao we ' take another road to avoid that spot and finally reach the rendezvous where the fatipue party la waiting for the eup- i Plies. The corporal says about this time. "Sarge," If you hear any of them unpleasantly close, don't be bashful about dropping down flat " Tou can bet we won't. Here the corporal bids tis good-by after turning us over to a sergeant and after unloading his aupplies, and, turning around, we hear him order his drivers to go like h all the way baefc. Then we follow close behind the seri geant and Anally arrive safe in the j t rPnrri(?s So let's turn in. as we are all ; tired out and may not get very much sleep anyway, as both sides are doing qui;e a little shelling. Thot is the story of my trip up here yesterday and I am writing this while lying on the firing step Just outside our dugout. Overhead a few of our planes are flying lazily about, while every now and then I hear the whiz of shrapnel or high explosive shells overhead. Tiie sun i shining brightly and it Is one of God'a own days, so I think I shall pick out some nice comfortable spot and go to sleep, which is one of the best things I do. Had a few adventures this morning while exploring the trenches, but shall save them for my next letter. With lots of love as ever. Tour loving son. HARVEY". To Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Blum, Hammond. Note Jerry Blum, brother of Harvey, is now on his way to France. There a re two boys in the family and both are in service. From Irving Chayken. Somewhere in France, With the Allied. Armies, June 3. 191S. Dear Friend Parry: Again I fnd a few m;nuti cf leisure t!rie to let you know that I am In It, and in it for fair, real work and real danger with no worries and everythins to gain with nothing to lose. I am told that the present struggle In which we are in is the first of its kind since the memorial battle of the Marne. In the present struggle the battlefield contains no trenches, no wire defenses, no fixed positions or even dugouts. It is real warfare with the opposing armies maneuvering entirely in the open. Therefore you must look into the present crisis with a different light from that iti which our armies have fought In the past. In open warfare tha moment any advance of the army .r the capture of a town may mean nothing, the only thing is that the problem to hotd the territory captured is the greatest taught by those who were lucky to get either a village or a strategic point. ! You folks back home should not be : alarmed. You are reading at home of a I battle which the Germans, like us, hope j will be decisive, but there can only be one result the allies will win out ia the end. True it will cost a good many lives, but for every one we lose the Huns lose six. The French and English i a re hattllnsr hard while our own soldier W I ' ci ii . if.' 1111 in rvri jf iiuun nn'j imner. The allies have not failed in the past. On the Marne, the Tser and at Verdun they showed great courage, and I am sure they will not fail in the present conflict. Coming to -where I am now. I saw trsinloads of refugees fleeing from their homes. The roads were crowded with jold men. women and children, with flour sacks, grain bags, pillow tops, etc.. flung over their weary shoulders, probably containing all they had been able to save at the last moment. The refugees were given shelter at refugee canteens built by our own American Red Cross. One elderly woman arrived with seven children, looking for her daughter, whom she had lost somewhere on the way to . Another woman carried a newlvhorn baby, who saw light for only seven days, and on the way to a shelter can teen the ba'oy died. The woman would not bury the child arid when I left the village the woman could be seen weep ing. During the entire travel I saw but a handful of women crying, and such is the sririt even amongst those who have left their homes. Will write more when things are normal again. Good luckCHATKEN. From E. J. Petak. Mr. and Mrs. 7.. D. Green have received the following letter from their nephew: Fomewhere in France, May 25. 191$. Dear Aunt end Uncle: Tour most welcome letter of April 27 received today and always glad to hear from you. Your letters are always welcome and you know how- glad we fellows far away from home are to hear from our friends and know the doings around home. Your letter again finds me in good health and spirits everything going O. K., hoping my letter finds you all in good health. I was sorry to hear that Uncle Zenr.is has been sick so long and hope he gets well soon so he can take up his duties once more. Over here we are now having some very nice weather. In the daytime it is very warm, the pun is bright and hot. the sky is clear from all clouds. It's about So and c5 every day. and now I understand why they call it sunny France, if tha weather all the time is like it is now. although the nights are rather chilly.

With us things were quit busy and lively the last few weeks. At last I an eay that I have seen real action at the front for the first time. We have. le.n up there firing away into the "German lines. It was quite interesting, but at first it was rather hard on the nerves to hear all kinds of guns going off. also shells landing and bursting around you, but soon got used to all n:s fireworks. It's like anything else when you pet used to H. One seems to mind It very little, but just the xame he rieeds to keep his eyes ct, en and not lose his head We were all praised by a French general for our good work: also were told that we made all our shells count, so I guess by that we must have made a few hits and mwde ihlngs a little uneasy for the Huns. The shells we used were very large. They stood about four feet high and nearly 14 inches thick loaded with high explosives, and wherever one of these shells bit they make a hole as large as a house and shell splinters flying all around. When uiifi of these larg?

They made a noise like a train passing by you at a high rate of speed, and lots of times we could see them going through the air for a few seconds. Here is where I see many things which I thought was impossible. This war is sure up to date with the latest of inventions. Aeroplanes up in the air all the time trying to locate us and destroy our guns but we were pretty welt hid. When once in -real action you are in the front for a week or ten days firing away, then you get relieved and go to the rear for a rest for about ten days beTore going up again. Even where we are resting we are in reach of German shells and gas. Every now and then we heer a shell going over, but so far none of them landed very close to us. nor either have we been gassed so far. Our gas masks, no matter where we. are or doing, have fceen handy in case we ehould be surprised by gas. Some of this gas. if a person gets two or three breaths of it. ie enough to kill him, so you see it does not pay to take a chance. Even nights we have them in reach. At present thing are easy for us. W pass awcy our rime by paying baebal! i some other km 1 r ri.ii a-l expect to 1-& tn actto.-i very soon ag-alt;. Vt are a!o a Ions ways from any ' wn cf any t,lie only a. f w co'-n-. y villages close around. All the people of these villages have left to be snfe. as these are shelled quite often. When anv fir ing is done close by our only protection is dugouts. Some of thego dugou's are as deep as 60 feet. Air fights are a common thing ana we see several every day. This nice weather the air is full of aeroplanes of all kinds. The antl-alr craft guns are always firing on hostile planes and many times we can see a shell burst near one of them, making things nice and hot for him. I suppose things are quite patriotic in the V. S. A. and no room for the Kaiser. Well, if things keep on like they are over here, there will not be very much room here for him either. Not knowing what else to write I will have to come to a close, hoping this letter finds you all in good health. Always glad to hear from you. My test wishes to you all. I remain Tour nephew. HETNIE.

From John A. Gleason. Mr. and Mrs. p. a. Reed. 1205 Monroe street. Hammond, received the following letter from their son John, who Is at the front: "On the Front, France, "May 17, 1918. "My Dear Mother and Father: Just a few lines to let you know I am still well and getting along fine, also to give you a piece of news which may at first rtlve you doubt, but I will see you have no trouble In taking care of It. "Every since I came to this country I have thought very serious of adopting a smau cmid and I preferred a boy. So now 1 have found a pmall child, only it is a girl, age 2'i years, and an orphan. Her mother died a month after she was born and her father was killed in the war. She is very cute and has curley hair. yellow as gold and blue eyes. Her hair is like tho? curls you have of mine in that little box. I will send you her picture later and you will be pleased, I know. I took a fancy to her before I knew she was an orphan and in two or three weeks I took a greater fancy for her. so the T. M. C. A. man told me her history. "When pay day comes I am going to send you about five dollars to invest In a pair of shoes an dsome odds and ends for her. so you will be on 'be lookout for it and hurry the thii-.gs In exchange. Now don't you and pa fret to thinking how you will have to take rare of her when I get home for you neither one will have to. for I intend to work and pay for her board and mine. So do not worry, and Just think of the stamps you will get from bujing clothes for both of us. "This letter leaves me in fine condition of health and spirits and I sincerely hope it fnds you in the some. How is H. Walker and the R.-drrans. Laytons and Parkers getting along?
