Homer Friend, Company 1 Kat Chirrgo, who was reported missing in action afLer a -severe engagement on July 19. has written a letter home to his parents under date of October 17. He is in Company K. 16th Infantry. He says nothing at all about his experiences on that memorable date, but encloses the follow ing letter as an indication of the caliber of the men he has been fishting with. Very modestly he. remarks that he has been over the top a couple of times but that he is feeling fine. Here is the letter which he enclosed: Headi'Jariers 1st Division,

' verc fighting and constant service in l.ia army, he was taken prisoner by j the troops of the ictorious lirst di

vision. The fallowing Is th substance of his remarks: '"Yesterday 1 received orders to hold the ground at all costs. The American barrage advanced toward my position and the work of your artillery was marvellous. The barrage was so dense that it was impossible for us to move out of our dugouts. Following this barrege closely were the troops of the first division. I saw them forge ahead and knew that ail was lost. All t.ight I remained in my dugout, hoping vainly that something would hapien that would permit me to rejoin my army. This morning your troops found me, and here I am. after four years of fighting, a prisoner. Yesterday I knew that the first division was opposite us, and I knew that we would have to put up the hardest fight of the war. Tne first division is wonderful and the German army knows it. "VVe did not believe that within five years the Amerieanas could develop a division such as-the First Division. The work of its infantry and its artillery is worthy of the best armies in the world." ti,., ahnvc tribute to the first divl-

was a God-send. The wreck didn't meaji much to me. I eomehow didn't get very excited over the fact that seventy people had been killed, probably because I was rather used to it and I didn't know any of them. But I sure did appreciate the items about people I knew. A lot of the fellows may be dissatisfied with civil life but believe me I'm glad to get back to Hammond. I'm fed up on trench life."
