From Nicholas Kuhn. Notre Dame. Ind.. Sept. 14, J91SIar Sister and AH: 1 received your letter and also the qlV.uonnalr this morning. Having only until the 25th to Tfturn them. I i.Yi mediately wont to a lawyer nt South Hm1 and had it filteJ'out free of charge. Well, as thitfcs are not yet very well settled around here. I have had hut lit tlo s-'t;nly so far and the three of us are '.:kinir up law. not that, we intend to he Invyrrs, but because we do not expect '. co through rollepo, !ocnu?o that would require several r :.-iiui dollars a: ; whatever you ; oi law is '. i a ays g'ood. A far as liking the place. 1 must nay .r.i a sood soldier never kicks.-although sometimes growl. So you one has to like it and do the be?t he can. This certa'nly is a fine place and I relieve it would take one four years to see all of 1t, and perhaps longer. I have been Informed that the university owns over three thousand acres of land which lie all eround the college. Th. reason they keep and farm all the Rround themselves Is to keep the city away from the college as far as possible. l.a.t night the three of us took a walk around one of the lakes. "U'e have two lakes about twice as large as "dead lak" out there near our hall, and there sure is some splendid scenery around the.e lEkes. The " - tre Pnme church is riirht pert to th -ownson Hall and it certainly ts h hvHutiful building, having a ceil that covered two flat cars when it was shipped to Notre Dame, and It requires two men to move the hammer, as that is all they move to ring: it, but since we are here It has not yet been used. Today and yesterday some nrmyv arid navy officers were here to register those who wish to join the color-s. and the three of us just finished registering

about half an hour ago for the army. Rut as to what branch we are going to take up we do not know until we receive srecial orders from Washington, and we also have to send a telegram to Crown Point, our local board of registration, to be transferred to South Bend, which I think will take place tomorrow. We had one surprise on us last Saturday. The three of us were in the recreation hall playing cards when all of a sudden Roy saw Mr. Wall coming into th' hail looking for tin. He eat and talked with us for about an hour, and then asked us to go along over to his wifo's folks, which we did. They seem to be very nice people and did what they could to cheer us up and make things seem like home. From there Wall too!-: us to a restaurant for supper and then to a show. He certainly is a good scout. Sunday he came to church at Notre Dame and told us to come over again In the afternoon, so we went to town for our dinner and on our way back stopped in there and spent a pleasant afternoon. My letter is retting- rather long, so I think 1 will bring it to a finish. Have you started to thresh or fill silo yet? And hw is the corn? We had a heavy frost out here Saturday rlrht. but one corn field near the college I noticed has not yet been frosted, and it is all nice and rpe. Well. I thir.k T will .have to say goodhy and get ready for supper. BROTHER NICK.

From Peter V. Kuhn. Tamp Taylor. Ky., Sept. 15. 1918. Dear Brother and All: Until yesterday I didn't have a word from the outside world since coming here. But yesterday I got five letters and amonj them the one from Marie. The work does not seem so terribly

hard as it did at first, and I like it better than ever. I'm anxiously looking forward to fcoins: "across the valley," as we call it, from the observation batteries to the real training: batteries: and then to the time when 1 can graduate and receive my shoulder straps. I was glad to git Math's address, and wrote him a letter yesterday afternoon. We are off from Saturday noon until Sunday evenings. But I do a great riPaI of studying1, writing and scouring during that time. Order, cleanliness, neatness, speed end self reliance nietins a great deal out litre. I am fcl-ul that there ore prospect3 for a good rorn crop this year. Were the late potatoes good? How do you oil stand on the new registration and possible draft? The war news is very encouraging these days, and bids fair to continue that way. We are all putting heart and soul into our end of it, but everyone would be glad to see an early end to it with decisive victory of course. On the letters that I send to Math I put return directions that will bring Ihern hack home to you if they are not delivered. My addre?s here is too much a temporary one. Here on? finds men from all over the United States, some from Maine, California, New York. Texas and any place you want to think of. Many men meet here who haven't seen each other since boyhood. Last Sunday I found one of my duck(ino) hunting: partners from Janesville quartered in the barracks next to us. Was to mass this morninsr in the K. of C. buildlnff. I learned that In the six K. of C. buildings in Camp Taylor there are over 25.000 attendants at mass every Sunday. All this w-ritinR paper, pens and ink' are free at these buildings, and there is plenty of room to write. I am writing: there now. There is a piano and graphophone. Must say jrood-hy now, and will write more the next time. Love to all from BROTHER PETEP..

From George Lindner.

No 5 Convalescent Camp. D E. F., Franco. -Xupust IS. 191S. W. E Lindner, father: Mrs. Fred Hacker. 568 Ingraham avenue. West Hammond. Dear Dad and Sister: Things goir.R along uicely wi'.h but one more week to stay; finger about healed, but a bit tender and white at the tip. The other Is perfectly healed, but nail is in two sections. No pain or catch as there are no short ends. Have enjoyed myslf very much the past two weeks as 1 was able to swim. There are a few Tanks arriving day by day with slight cases such as Ras, shrapnel, or even a few accidents. Baseball is getting more interesting. Last evening we had a humdinger of a game: heat the Canadians 7 to 6 ten innines. Some same, and to the delight of the English troops as base

ball is new to thern and they are keen on helping the game along. Many do not understand it and we have some arguments. Have alfo taken to whint at three pence per for prizes of ten. seven and fivo francs, but luck has failed me, ulihough they tell me 1 play a very good game. Evenings we take in the movie, for which they also charge thre pence, or rise we it over a cup of tea and a few bjscjits at the Scottish church for an hour or two. If I strike it ria;ht I have eggs a;id chips (French fried) at the Salvation army, so it's pin in to b seen I have enjoyed my vacation Immensely. Have as yet received no mall from the States and don't look for any for a month or two. as I believe our company hes moved out leaving the mail behind. Puch things are likely to happen. Through the neglect of our First Sergeant, i will have t wait. I know it's neglect as one of our battalion runners offered to take our mail back to headquarters, but he was too busy, or too lazy. 1 fii"ss. It's not a knock, hut just natural. It's impossible for me to know what is going on. but I surmise Walter is here or on the way, and B'll at Rockford doing squads east or west, while Mary or my sweetheart may be nurses, as I dreamed Mary was. It's surprising to sec the important parts the English women have and do take In this war. In fact, they all hut shoulder a gun. and they'd do that if they could, while they really mean it. Well, dad, as to the war. I suppose folks are really interested as what soldiers think of it. Well, I firmly believe, and judging from our conversation and what I hear, they all have the opinion that by Christmas it' will come to un end. with victory of course as it is very plain that unless so it will continue and that victory on the field is not altogether impossible, as many bt-lievc. In fact. I and many others believe by Oetohrr, fighting will cease as we think that Germany will see she has no hopes of winning ano can only look for defeat after defeat, arid it's only a question of how long it w,ll take to soak in. Many believe that Jerry is fed up with war and is looking for loop holes to satisfy his people. He may as well set an extra plate for supper Christmas Eve. as I'll surely be there. They are given no truth, only lies such as the Fatherland being sunk with 14,000 Yanks and that they are winning over the Vboats, stopping Americana from landing O. K. My, what a surprise t lie will get. As General Foch says, the offensive has not yet begun. As for our troops, every word of the battles given in the papers we receive daily is exactly as those who come from the line here daily with slight wounds, to rest, tell us, only more picturesque and with praise for the gallant work of the tanks and the dirty work of the Huns after being taken prisoners. I shall be' able to write a book of the stories tolf, while there are always

more than one to vouch for the truth. Really, it is wonderful to know Just how much a human beinjj can go through with and be happy and contented with a smile and a Joke with every story. Well, dad. this will not interest you, I know, but most likely will M,ae and Uiil, and e.s green envelopes are not easy to get they might pass this all the way 'round, especially to the Loinke'r. and Wahl's. Aluo I know it would he of interest to the Fholps. With best wishes, good luck and my :iioft sincere regards to all, lour loving fi'jn, GEORGE LINDNER. Company A. 13ind Infantry.

From Vernon Redmond. Somewhere in France, Sept. S, 19 IS. Mr. McHie: No doubt you v.ill be surprised to hear my new address. It now is Pvt. Vernon Redmond. Battery IT, A. A. P. D., A. E. 1'., via New York. We are getting the best of tats and sleeping tine. atrfO fe-iiiig fine. We had a swtll trip over weather fine and warm and the water smooth. Owing to the censorship we can't write much. If all the countries in the war clothe arid feed the men like Uncle Sam they wili have no kick corning. I em now looking forward to the

, return trip as eascr as I was to got over

here, as it is a fine one alright. Give my regards to all my old friends and tell them I am feeling fine and in the best of health. If you have any papers to spare don't forget my address, as a newspaper from the home town would be greatly appreciated over here. PVT. VKRXOX REDMOND. Battery 17. A. A. I I)., A. E.

So jou say Mrs. Freeze is making me!

a sweater? No doubt it might come in handy, but I have three of them now and about ten or twelve pair of woolen socks and I think they will last as long as I oni here. I don't think that you can solid them to me, ns they won't allow you to ship anything that isn't necessary, and if we want anything from home we have to get a special order from our commanding officer stating that it is very necessary, so if there is anybody going into the army from home I would advise you to give it to them as I have all the clothes I can

wear. Tell Mrs. Freeze I thank her just the same and I sure will send her a card tho first chance I get. I supposo all you people are working hard nt the lied Cross. The boys here sure do like the Red Cross, for they ar doing quite a bit. Whenever we go on pass and stop at the Red Cross we can get a good meal for a franc and a b-i'.f. which is about 40 cents In our money. That is considered pretty cheap in this country. The Y. M. C. A. is pretty nice too. They handle all the cigarettes and tobacco and candy, and we can buy them pretty cheap: in fact, much cheaper than in the States. They give us an entertainment whenever they can get the entertainers.

Hell, I think I will ring off for tonight and finish this letter tomorrow. Well, here it is 2 o'clock and I haven't anything to do at present, so will finish thi.s letter. How is Wesley getting along theae hot days? I suppose he goes do wCUa thing nearly every day. I am going I get some s-ouvenira ready and will send them in a f'-w days, so you can look for tlx in.' I have quite a few trinkets saved up and I will bring them hom with me. I saw those bells with all th buttons on. I am going to make on.--, too. the first chance I get, and then I will send it home. It is kind of'warm today and I think I will take a good ba'.h and then go for a walk. Well, I thin!: a have written about all f know for lhU time, so wiU ring of)", hoping this finds you all well. I remain as ever, your son WILLIAM.

Dear Folks: Your leiter received today and I sure was glad to get it ftr(it has been over a month since I got the last letters. I am well and getting along tine and hope this finds you all the same. So you have had some very warm weather lately'.' We have had soma warm weather, but nothing to brag or kick about. The nights se to be getting cooler lately.

I sure ; w - i 1 could be home for a few days, bi.: I f.'oii't think it will be long before we wili all be back for good, as I don't think the Germans can hold out much longer. They sure are afraid of an American soldier. 1 have seen quito a few prisoners already, and believe me, they are glad to be away from- the front, and as for the Americans you can't hold them back. You know the old saying that went around before we were in this one German to five Russians, but now it is ono American to

When a child's tongue turns white, breath feverish, stomach sour, mothers can always depend upon safe old "Cascarets" to gently, yet thoroughly clean the little liver and bowels.
