From Capt. J. J. Lebowitz. From Captain J. J. Lebowitz. basa hospital No. 12. Dr. Beasley's Unit. A. E. F.. Somewhere !n Franc, May 14th. to his mother lniHammoad: lioar Mother: This Is Mother's Day for ail boys In our army and navy. When I first heard about this day it seemed so unnecessary because most of us think i f mother and home every day. How-

this morning and am

good

spirits. i I have been in some dangerous places in France since our regiment landed and 1 wasn't afraid. When a fellow hears a shell whistling in the air ho doesn t

i know where it's going to strike. That s

when they think of the life they have i lived before. I have never done anything bad in my life, always tried to do my best end if anything happens to me over here that I do not get back, you

over, as I sit and write this letter I j wi:i know you had one boy that didn't

cm forced to change my mind for I fee! ;ay down.

lruch closer to you today. In spite of the many miles that separate us. It is a strange co-incident that thla i . anniversary day for our unit as our enlisted men entered" service a year ago today. The boys are giving the entire unit a blowout, baseball this fternoon after that luncheon and then a, unit dance, I have been awfully homesick for a week or more, as I write this letter I feel much closer to you and hope the feeling; lasts. I am well as ever and glad to be able to write this to jou, as I know it cheers and comforts you.

I hear that I am to be made a corporal over a casson. That pays exlri and I'll send this home. There are a lot of men in the battery that deserves it more than I do but the first sergeant told me the other night in line at retreat. I got paid last night. Drew 123 francs and 82 centimes, equal to $24. Am going to send 10 or 15 heme as I can. IX) what you want to with it. I tried to get a pass to see John. It's a chance but I took it. I was talking t i a fellow with the machine gun company of the 9ih and he says that Co. K Is about 10 kilometers, or about six miles

The rapid and continuous arrival of j away, but a soldier can't get anywhere our fighting- forces gives us all great J in Franco unless he has a pass and that

cheer, for we are bound to have the upper hand In the near future. The Germans are fighting a loosing fight. They are putting everything into their l?st effort. If they fail this year their doom is sealed. Next year will be our year, I feel quite certain of that. Xext year may even be the last year. It must he our victory however long it takes to win. they must be beaten. Not long ago I operated on a man who was wounded Inside the German lines; he laid there five days; they refused to pick him up or even give him food or water. He managed to crawl to our lines with a broken leg. People who treat wounded men Ilka that surely are beasts. I will close this letter with heaps of love to you and father and hope that I will soon be with you. JOSEPH. Capt. J. J. Lebowltx, formerly of O. K. Bldg., Hammond. Base Hospital No. H, Dr Beasley's Unit. B. EL F.. Trance

From Walter George. Somewhere in France. Dear Dad and Mother: Tour letter and paper received this week, and for over an hour I was back home In Indiana. Tou must be having tome time back there, a new grandchild, a new Liberty Hall, parade and all that stuff. That big parade a year ago got my goat and made me enlist. I don't see how a fellow can resist anything like that. I couldn't, and a good many more couldn't. This Is Decoration Day in France to the American soldier and as far as we are concerned there isn't much doing. A perfect day. not a cloud in the sky and Just enough breeze to make It comfortable. I am sleeping In a dog tent with two blankets under me and four over me. I had a good break-

It all comes in a bunch and there is always at least five letters for me. The K. of C. have a lot of club rooms around now. They certainly treat a fellow soldier fine. They give cookies and ice cream away everv time a person goes up there. They also have shower hatha, pool rooms, reading rooms and everything a person wants to be comfortable. I will try and get a written order from our troop commander so that you can send me that fountain pen. Everything is going fine now. We get the paper every day. the Chicago paper. There is a lot of thing I would like to say or tell you, but they do not allow us. How is everybody at home and around? Have some pictures taken of Carl. Tat. and send me one. Do you remember that Miller I usei to tell you about? I met him the other day. He and I went out last night and had a good time. He Is that fellow from Chicago that worked In the stills. Well. dear.
