Sights Over Here Make Man

to Wear American Uniform, Writes Menial Hamilton From War Zone

"I - toll you ., baring Been what we ' ut seen over her makes a man proud to wear an American uniform," writes Private Mendal L. Hamilton, of Battery P, 150th Field Artillery, now on active duty in France, in a letter td his mother, Mrs. I F. Hamilton, of near Muncle. Hamilton is a cousin of Mrs. R. P. Strohm, 408 North Thirteenth street, of this city. ' :"l was truly glad , to receive yonr letter of June 20th," he says In this latter which was written on the 15th of August. "The magazines you spoke .about are read eagerly by all. , "1 was very glad to learn that you deceived the vases all O. K. They "were made by French soldiers (from whom I purchased them) from old shell cases fired from the world fanous 75 millimeter' gun of the French, 'Which is surely helping to win the war. The carving on the shells is the .'Lorraine Cross,' which is seen everywhere in this region. They should he invaluable as. souvenirs as they were taken from the famous battlefield. "Well, mother, we have been In all (he heavy fighting, and had a share

fh both offensive and defensive opera

tions. We have all the pleasure of tehtlng with the French and lastly

ith our own comrades. You know by the , papers, what w did to the tioches. Germany has thrown her best

ttgalnst our division the 'Prussian Tmnerlal Guards' and we have whip

ped Hell out of them three times, and

Can do It again any time. They are sure good runners when they get

started. , ?. Horrors of the Battle Field. 1 "1 have seen the horrors of war and

'itftrda can not exoress it all. Our

guns took up a position close to a bill and a village which had changed

Bands many times during the engagement four days previous, and I was tfver the field. It was a pretty grue

some sight . I tell you the dead were lying in rows Just as they were mowed down by machine gun fire and artillery. The whole region was almost Unbearable from the stench of decaying flesh; but we got used to It, and seeing dead men until we hardly noticed such things. i "Our battery was pretty lucky, considering everything, and only had a few casualties. We had many .narrow escapes, though, and at times the air seemed full of scrap Iron. "Yours Truly came near becoming a part of the surrounding country, when an H. E. shell fell about six feet from the top of my head and exploded, almost roverlng me up in a shallow trench that I was digging when it fell. The leaves and limbs of a bush above me were all blown to bits, and when I brushed the dirt off me a big piece of Jron was laying on my leg, which was nly bruised a little. I had another Barrow escape or two, but those are all In the game. At our last position we were shelled by mustard gas, and several of the boys received Bome burns and nearly all of them breathed too much for their good. I got enough

to give me the stomach ache, but not enough to spoil my appetite. I tell you. J "Mother, when those big high explosive shells begin to fall near you and the Iron scraps to fall near you, a fellow thinks of a lot of things in a short time. I know once I hugged the ground so hard In an open field that I made a dent In It ' Hal Ha! ; Proud of Americans. "At our former sector we were bombed a time or two, having one man .wounded. Being bombed Is worse than being shelled any time, as you can't tell when it is coming or from where. IV comrade and I were on guard in our shell pit one night when we were fired pn by by a boche plane. You should have seen us getting to cover when ihe red streaks from the tracer bullets egan to fall, and "zip" in the grass near us. I took a shot at one with a

German rifle and some ammunition I j fiad found. Didn't want to dirty my! own gun. See? I could have. picked) ud all sorts of German equipment. If .

J bad a way of carrying anything I Would have saved a German helmet, but thought I might have a better chance some time. I saw all kinds of air fights and many machine guns brought down An air fight is about tho most Interesting and exciting thing yet. ' . "I tell you when you have seen what we have, it makes a man proud to

.wear an American uniform. When Vou see a line of dead clear across a Held, and the last man at their objec- (

live, a macmne gun, ana me oocne gunner dead, you can see what stuff the American soldier is made of, and feel what they are going through for the right and then think that there ttre a few who still say "Let George do t" Is enough to make one blush with hame. t "We are now back from the front jesting up. We were on the go night and day almost during the drive, and were so worn out that we could drop where we stood, and sleep no matter how heavy the firing. ' ; French Show Courage. "I sent a copy of the A. K. F. ppef

toVyou, which tells something of the

drive, so will not attempt u wmo thing. We were commended for our bravery, also our work and coolnes3 during the drive, so we feel as if we had done our bit In one fight the enemy shells were falling on our positions, it was said, at the rate of one every forty-live seconds. '

" One sight I win never lorgei, uu that was to see a shell exploded in a group of French soldiers, killing two and wounding three or four others. One of our men was wounded by the same shell, which fell only about twenty yards from where I was standing. You never saw such coolness as the French show. They picked up their wounded and marched on as if nothing had happened. "I am sure glad to hear that tne crops are coming so nicely and are almost in, but sorry about the corn. You know food is as essential to a soldier as bullets. I think that with the backing you people are giving us at home we will, with good luck, eat sausage in Berlin one of these days.
