YANKS TAKE HILL THOUGHT TO BE INCONQUERABLE

' Raymond Wilson Writes From f , Ground Held by German Forces Week Before. "It is sure rainy and muddy here," writes Raymond Wilson from France. am well and have gotten three letters from home, I am glad to say. I was out by our Runs when your first letter arrived. On my way back to base I read your letter, and under these circumstances, riding on my 'hors, directly in front of me were right German prisoners, in front of them was a supply wagonwhich I was j, directing back to camp, and back, at the rear some wounded American soldiers. - -- ' "Well the last two weeks have been 5 busy ones for my horse. We have ... ridden sometimes for a day and night - straight, and have been giving the GerZ mans the devil. There was one mounts tain that the French thought could Z not be taken, but we took it in twenty minutes. Of course it could have been done better if we were trained soldiers like the Huns. Ha! Ha! Z "Last week the Germans were here "Z where I am writing ,thls. They have f left some in teres tingvthing3 for us to find, but you have to be careful or - might get blowed up as they leave all sorts of traps, too. , I was in one j billet that surely must have been oc2 cupied by an officer. It had paper on I the walls, a bath tub, mirror on the wall, book cases and everything all fixed up. Another place had a piano Z and a Singer sewing machine well I Z guess they thought they would stay w where they were all winter, but somehow we came along and changed their Z minds. The big fight started here at this place. One morning at 1 o'clock, it was dark as anything and raining like the Dickens, and the Germans, by 7 the way, did' not know that we were ; there, when all at once the guns started like one report and kept it up for five hours, then our infantry went after them and got what the artillery - had not. We got a lot of pri3oners, three railroad trains, guns and a lot of Junk, i I suppose you think that I wished, while the battle was going on, n that I was miles away, but I would ; not have missed it for anything. - "The last night we were at our gun positions, we were gassed, but we get used to every thing. - ; "If a person is up among a dozen ; guns when they are all shooting it ) seems deafening, and some of our gunners are nearly deaf sometimes, but they will get over when they are away Z frcm the guns for awhile."

French Refugees Come Back to Find Homes Destroyed by Huns

"After the evacuation of the enemy the French people insist upon coming back to their old homes, though they know that there cannot be much left of them," says Everett L.- Horner, In a letter to Mr. and Mrs. W. C- Roop. Horner is a brother of Mrs. Roop. The letter follows: "Yoo folks probably know all about the big game in which the Americans have played the leading part, and I dare say there was much rejoioing and elaborate celebrations on receipt of the news. At times it seems like a dream that we are living In this age. It is hard to realize that this 13 supposed to be a civilized world that is in such a turmoil. Three nights ago I rode in auto truck through' the trenches and the country which had been held by . the enemy since the early part of the war. Any attempt to give you a vivid idea

of how the country Is tbrn to pieces would be in vain, so will save that until I return, when I can tell it in a more comprehensive way. Towns are wholly demolished, not a house standing just a few pieces of walla still erect and they have large holes blown through them. The people, who at one time made these places their comfortable, humble homes will return to them to see' what shape they are in, even though they know it is not possible to find them standing.

Under the circumstances, can we re??

alize how they feel when they come face to face v4th that which was at one time everything dear and lovely to them! . "On this same trip I was speaking about, we were bouncing and creeping along over a narrow road through the trenches, which had been badly torn by artillery fire, when a few yards

ahead we saw a hut dimly through the darkness. Upon reaching It we saw a Red Cross banner. It was an old house part of . which had been blown down, but In the remaining room was a Red Cross establishment, where we were given hot chocolate, chocolate bars, cheese and tobacco. That organization is wonderful, far beyond my power of admiration. "Carl. I met a fellow in this last scrap' whom you probably know. Will Nelbur. He says he played ball with you on the Richmond team. He la in my old regiment of engineers and even

though I did not previously know him It sure seemed good to meet a home town fellow out there.
