From Harry Ellis. "vTrltten to his mother, Mrs. Margaret Anderson, 43S Michigan avenue, Hammond. Over Here, Aug. 30, 1913. My Dear Mother: Tour letter of the 2lst of July Just received, which, by the way. Is the econd I have received from you since my errlval In France. The other I received ebut two days since. I was very, very glad to hear from you, mother, dear, as I always am. I know you have written me many more times, of course, but I have been on the move so continuously that my mail has hardly had time to catch me. Then, too, one can hardly expect the same accuracy in the mail 5ervice here that would prevail in peace time. And. motht-r dear, I have written you Just as often as I possibly could. Every opportunity I have had I seized to write you. and I cannot understand why some -if them haven't reached you. Ferhaps they have by now. Tou surely don't think I would forget you to the extent of not writing at all, do you? "Was surely glad to hear that everybody was O. K. Tou say you would like to hear of pome, of the things I have seen and the experiencf-s I have had over here. I have never thought that shop talk would interest you, as about all I can talk pboiit is the war, which, of course, is all-pervadins and about the only thing thought of here. Tou have no doubt read a great deal of the marines and some, at least one. of the fights they have been through. 1 jf'Inod my preso.it organization on the nisht of June 8, when they were in the thick of ono of their hottest engagetnonts. I went in about II o'clock at ninht. "Went, into the lines, and about a. ni. Fritz put over a barrage and delivered three attacks at us. It was r;ircly pome warm place. What was it like? Just think of what you have imagined hell to bo and multiply it by bout three and and a half. Since then I'vo been through quite a few of them, (bat. I've gotten rather used to them. Uowevr. one never gets real familiar with them! July the ISth I went over the top. I T.ithr liked it there, as we ran the boche f.o fast he left even his breakfast behind him. By the way, I captured three prisoners there, all by my lonesome. It v asn't much of a feat, however, as they wT9 too busy yelling "Kamerad" enl Irylng to keep me from shooting them V cauFe me much trouble. The marines have done some hard ("alitin over here and hav acquitted Ui'-mselves nobly, and upheld the best traditions of their corps. We have been i ited several times in orders for gall.mtry in action and the French have

Some idea of the huge size of the new bombing plane used by th British in dropping high explosives on the German forces and on German towns can be gathered by looking at the above -picture. A tractor is being used to tow the monster airplane into position for its take-off behind the lines. The men under the plane and in it also show the immense size of the craft. These planes, by their deadly work in bombing towns, ?.mong them Cologne, have ra:.ied havoc with the German morale. The effect of this has been felt in munition factories, wh?re many strikes have occurred.
