France, Oct. 18, 1918.
Mrs. J. L. Tubb,
Dear Mother;
I got a bunch of your and Dad’s letters
today. I sure was blad to hear from
you. Gee! My runner just brought
me No. 26 from you. It was mailed
Sept 23. I appreciate your letters more
than anything else over here. I wrote
you the other day just after the long big
battle which turned out to be a chase
after the 4th day. We are still in the
front line but, very little fighting is now
going on, so don’t worry. I’m sure glad
you were praying for me, because I‘m
sure that’s why I’m alive today. I
didn’t have much time for prayers my-
self.
I have lost everything except the
clothes on my back and my gun. You
can’t carry everything with you in a
running fight like
Tell Mildred I haven’t killed
yet and its likely that I
1 either have a section
platoon and never fire a machine
gun myself, but I haw dived into holes
with dead ones to dodge a big shell and
have taken equipment off some dead
ones to supply our own men. When our
company went in no one but non-com’s
had pistols; nearly all have them now.
I have a hard time making our men
stay in their holes. The sun is shin-
ing (after 2 days rain) and they want
out. Old Fritz is keeping quiet now for
some reason; I guess he’s getting ready
fur another run towards home.
I got word that Sam Tune is dead. I
think he is the only Gainescille boy with
our company that has lost his life. John
Tipps got a slight wound in the head
but he is not dead, (the John Tipps you
heard was dead.) We hope to be re-
lieved soon and don't expect any more
serious fighting for a while and don’t
ever expect to get into another like the
last one. Old heads said that it was the
worst they had ever seen and that our

tempt made to force attendance.
Ambulance Work Develops
When the Salvation Army first
reached France there tree tremen
cious need for ambulances, the num
tier in operation being unable to
transfer the wounded te hospitals
and hospital ships. An ambulance
corps was outfitted, equipped, man
ned and placed under Che control oi
the Red Cross. FHty seven of these
ambulances are now ia operation
and hundreds of thouaante •( wound-
ed boys have been carried off the
battlefield since the beginning of the
war. The Salvation Army Ambu-
lance unit was dedhwed by the head
of the British Red Cross to be
among the most effi^enc in the ser-
vice.
Army Chaplains of the Salvation
Army
General Pershing believes that the
morals of his men are of the great-
est importance and has pointed a
larger and more effective corps of«
chaplains than any other command-
ing officer in history. One of the
most popular of these ministers of
God is Major John E. Atkins, as-
signed to the batallion vt which Ar-
chie Roosevelt is Lieutenant-Colonal/

Cash Pay Checks and Loan Money
To the Boys
The Salvation Army workers cash
tne boys' pay checks without ques-
tion and during April in a certain
division the workers sent home over
$20,000 for the soldiers. They also
take care of the lads’ keepsakes
when the order comes to go “over
the top” and in every hutment are
barrels or boxes of those intimate
treasures the lads want sent home,
should they be compelled to make
the 'great sacrifice” and “go west”
Lassies Nurse the Wounded
These sweet and j>ure girls go
from hospital to hospital and from
ward to ward talking to the boys,
always carrying them fruit and can-
dy and filling any request that a
wounded soldier may make, no mat-
ter how extraordinary it may seem.
They jot down in a note book a
memo of any article desired and
tiiat very day make every effort to
get it. Hours have been spent try-
ing to buy a particular brand of
tooth paste for a lad whose nerves
were torn to shreds by shell shock.
In fact they seek to give the same
wondrous service that the mothers
of these boys would give if they
were over in France.
