From Jos. Kolodzski. "Oa the Lure. Somewhere in iVence. Oct. 31. 1913. Editor Times: Just a. line to let you hear from an Id Hammondite. who has spent fifteen long months somewhere in Franre and have spent the last seven months on th front. I have seen many hard fought battles and scores of thrilling incidents In the time I have spent on the line. TVs are now living as comfortable as we can on territory tht we wrested from the Boche. They sure think they ran fight, especially when they come :over in waves that look live hives of bees. But they sure go back different for they have come to the point that the "Old Yankee" barrage and machine gun fire is invincible, which it is. W do not get the time tp shoot the "poor animals" after we get any where rear them for they have a little word, the only one they use these days, that they sre always utterin. The word "kamerad," they sit and mummur that word until they have it 3ovvn to perfection then they go over the top. "We havo a plague that is causing Ivsyoo among the Tanks, it is only a German plague, we call it. German cooties, for it seems that every place we occupy the Germans have left coctfie incubators, for they sure leave them behind. Uncle Sam does not count the captured fleas among the war booty for if he did we could only fight one day a month for we would have to spend the rest of the month counting the booty, and we would have to enlarge the American papers to print the number. So to be economical we leave that out. For we have to take up enough of the papers to print the estimate of- the prisoners, not the actual number, for if we counted them these days it would take ancther army to do that, don't you kaow? Our home is only about 75 feet from the surface of old Mother earth and we get all of the concussion of the explosions above, so if there is any mistakes or anything blame the Huns, and say that they are paying for it all at a high price. The thmir we like better than going after the Huns is to receive mail from the people "over there," so if any one csres to write to us they can, to the address below. Have to Quite at present for I have to go on duty. "A Fighting Tank." JOK KOLODZSKI. Hdqtrs. 41th Arty., C. A. C. A. K. F.. France. From Wm. Buettner. Camp MIis, X. Y. Ier Sister: Tour letter received this noon. Sure was glad to hear from you. but it is the same old thing, nothing new to write about exeept one thing: and that is New Tork and it has been htr-j for severnl years. "Well, sister. "U are r.ot the only one that hopes the war will end Foon and the Yankees will rat Christmas dinner at their homes. I'.ut you need not v. orry if we get across for they call us the cyclone division. If tic etn't whip them we can Mow them off the face of the earth. Idon't think by goinp over it is like soins down the strei-t with yon be?t girl. "Well. I must close for tonisrlit for I want to write dad a letter and it will Horn be bed-time. Good-bye nnd he good. Your br! h'-r. WM. Ht'ETTXER. Sup. Co. 131st Inf., Camp Mills.

From Robt. F. Sommers. On Active Service with the Am. F.x. Fes., France., Oct. SO, IMS. Editor Timks: I have received nnd enjoyed several issues of The Times. I have found 'in its columns of letters from friends of mine who are in the U. S. service. These letters certainly have afforded me much enjoyment and wish to thank The Times for publishing them. I am over in France and have had my army experience. I crossed the ocean in the middle of the winter. A heavy storming sea accompanied its throughout the trip. A good many of the fellows were seasick and spent their time feeding the fish. "We were on the water a Rood deal longer than any one would want to be, and when we finally saw land we all realized how Columbus felt on a like occasion a Kood many years aco. Being in the searchlight work our overseas training did not take tip as much time as It does for most outfits and we were rushed to the front immediately after disembarking. Then- we had our first taste of Jerry (the Germans). It was just at th time of making his spring drive. "We were glad to he there with the big spring surprise and to help prevent him from doing so much as he expected to do. Since we have been over most of France and have many times the pleasing experience of seeing a Jerry plane trying vainly to wriggle himself out of cur beam of searchlight as well as out of the less pleasing experience of hearIn his bombs swishing through the air and not knowing where they are going I.-. The hoys In our outfit are all

In good spirits nnd resoKint; most determinedly to set their share of the Jerrys. At first somo used to kick about hardships ar.d one thing and another but now all are resolved to kkk but one place and that is on the Kaiser's neck, and when wo kick we will nil kick to-

Could Yon Ask for More Proof? Look at the illustrations of Gary Motor Trucks reproduced on this page. These are not "picture" tiey are made from photographs of Gary Motor Trucks In SERVICE year in, year out. Note particularly the different line a of industries in which "Garys" are making jood -axd wt have only selected a few of tbrr; Suppose you were a manufacturer or bif wnolesaler or retailer and you were in the market to buy a fleet of good, serviceable, reliable motor trucks would you ask for any more proof than we have presented here? We both know that such leading corporations as we sho here to be users of Gary Motor Trucks employ the highest paid Engineers and Efficiency Experts men whose wor-1 is law as to WHICH Motor Truck will be bought. Is it any wonder that we are proud of the Gary Truck superiority the compliment paid to us by such concerns as the United States Steel Corporation, and the Standard Oil Company?

Remember, the big corporations who are now using fleets of "Garys" did not buy more than one or two Gary Trucks on their first order. Then they tested them in every day service in a hundred different ways they even overloaded them and abused them just to see how much the "Gary" would actually stand. Then they came back and ordered more "Garys." Again we ask, could you ask for mor proof? You are judged by the company you, keep. ' A motor truck is judged by the industries employing it. Look again at the actual photographs reproduced on this page satisfy yourself that the Gary Motor Truck has met every haulagi problem with absolute satisfaction then ask yourself if you personally would not like to own an intrest in and share the profits with the company which is building and has made the Gary Motor Truck famous from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
