Letters from Soldiers Written to the Home Folks From This Side and the Other Side of the Water.

From. Forest Mayers. To Mrs. Theo. Tennyson, 454 Indiana eenue. Hammond, from her nephew. Sergeant Forest E. Mers, Quartermas-;-r Corps. A. K. ., A. r. O. 712. On Active Service With th A. E. F.. Frsnce. Aus- 5, 1?1S. Pear Aunt a.nd Neicei Received your letter today of the Tth .f July ncd will answer Tonto de suite. Everything is lovely over here, except that fraffl between h.r and Berlin is st ill congested, but not quit so bad as reviously and we will soon have a York oecial running on regular time to Pots- ' -tin, Kiel. Berlin and all points east. AVe are all somewhat disappointed, as Kaiser Bill, a very prominent man (in b.9 home town), has been promising to ray a visit to Taris and vicinity all s;. ring and summer, but for some reason or other he has not been ablo to get here yet: in fact, we have given -up all hopes f him c.cmmg, as he has some very li.l roads to travel over, ha! ha! V.'e have seen (julte a number of his friends traveling in that direction, but thy seemed to have bad a very rough 'mc of it and didn't seem to be. enjoying he trip at all. and one might say they v ere being compelled to go as they were boirg guarded by h bunch of toughs ca'.e 1 Yanks, tind who they said had been ,:sing th'.m real mean, especially at . "bateau Thierry. There they say these same toughs jumped onto them when -hey wasn't looking (which wasn't fair?)

and beat them up something awful. It Is also said that the ks,iser's tin Lizzie with which he intended to visit Paris in is badly worn and in need of repairs; in fact, in such a state of collapse that although he has attempted the trip a number of times the machine has always broken down when he struck the F. E. and A. road. And. although b"ing a man of his word? he will have to forego the trip altogether. "Well, folks, this is my anniversary of my arrival in sunny France. Just a year today I said Hello, France! I wonder when I will say Hello. V. S. A. again. You can't realize what a fine cid country we've get r?r there till you get away from it awhi'.e. Gcod morning, here I am again, and It's a tine morning except that it's raining again I mean yet. But then we only have. light sh'.wers now. rf one or two das' duration, and a day or so between showers. About November I suppose we wi'.I get a real ram again. Well. Betn'.ee, there isn't any such thing as No Man's Ear.i over here, as we claim it all. I think you will get sitm idea e.f ti.e religion of No Man's Band when I e'.', you the three greatest sins are stinginess, cowardice and se',fpraise. Well, I reckon thia will be about enough for one time, so hoping to hear from you soon I remain as evpr with love to all. FOREST. Sgt. Forest E. Myers. Q. M. Corps. A. E. F.. France, A. T. O. 712.

Enormous strides have been made i ning the war in the use of wireless telegraphy in aircraft. One of the 'h.ef difficulties was to overcome the r:io of the engine. But skill and ingenuity conquered this difficulty almost completely. It is not permissable to s'ate Just how it was accomplished. Tor in these matters Germany has ni' t discovered the secret of various methods successfully used by the British. The effective range for wireless transmitted fro mthe air has been largely increased.
