Thomas, of this city: "1 Just received your very welcome letter which was forwarded to me from Camp Mills. I assure you I appreciate every letter I get. You cnn"t Imagine how we boys appreciate n letter from our folks and friends in the dear old U. S. A. "You spoke of mo going over the tcp. Well. I am sure to get a chance at it, perhaps late this fall. I think this war will last at least another year and perhaps two. I will be very fortunate Indeed, If I ever see the states again. "The only thing that enables me to stand the many obstacles of soldier llfo In war time3 Is the one thought that I am helping fight the battles of freedom In the bloodiest war history has known, and by so doing will help keep my father and mother from dying In a penniless condition under the iron rule of the kaiser. Next to my own ! family I am also carrying a picture of the other American homes we are all fighting for, such as I had pictured to me in your home last winter with your comfortable little family sitting around the fireside. "I suppose you know that I got my appointment as a postal clerk from that examination I took just before going to Lafayette. 1 received the appointment June 18."

Say, we are too far away from home to be home sick.I guess. I am feeling fine, all O. K., and Just enjoyed a good dinner. "I suppose you are having some warm weather. We are having worse than warm it is hot, and we are camping In deep sand, which is hotter still. So you can imagine. The dust is blowing around here something Herce. It is almost black, caused by bo much powder smoke. The worst thing we are bothered with, however,
is flies. Tnere are sure plenty oi them. "The French people are very nice to us, but they are most difficult to understand."

DON'T BEGRUDGE YOUR SACRIFICES, URGES YANKEE
. "Over here a lot of people live In one room and house the cows, chickens, hogs and horses in the next. But we have succeeded In getting into a very nice barn today," said Harold Hiatt with an American-French artillery company, in a letter recently received by his sister. "But to tell the truth, I wouldn't miss the experience of all this for anything. "The people where we are can speak absolutely no English. So it is seeing France from a little different angle than I have heretofore. "Yesterday I went out to get a few things I needed. I thought that I might get my picture taken, but there was only one photographer and his pictures were so bad that I decided I wouldn't. Perhaps I will if I ever get a leave of absence and can go to a large town. "We are being fed better at present than before. But we need it and will earn it some day. I hear you are on rations at home. If you could see the conditions that exist over here. I do not think you would consider it any great hardship. "Time goes fast to me. I have been in now six months, and it does not seem long at all."
OUR BOYS
Don't worry your head what to call 'em, Be it Sammie, or Buddie, or Yank; So far they don't need any calling, They're all in the very front rank. Where bullets are flying the thickest, Where Germans try hardest to stick, You'll find our boys in the saddle And showing the Huns a new trick. There's only one fear that besets them That weighs on their minds every day Tis the fear that the war may be over Before they're called Into the fray. So call them whatever you fancy, Be it Sammie, or Buddie, or Yank; They're getting the goat of the kaisef, And safely on that you can bank. L. A. HANDLE Y.
