Dear Papn; '
Am now in tho upper part of Franco
near the Bolgian border, which I hopo
to cross beforo long. Before many
days expect to bo in Germany. All,

out of my voyngo over huro. Am
glnd wc havo passed tho stage of
"Somewhere In France."
wnen we iok tho old u. s. wc em-
barked from Boston, mndo tho run
up to Halifax and Btnycd there a day
and night, leaving ori tho eve of July
4,. As we passed out of tho harbor,

cr n our cnVov. Wo wcro on thd
nruut, at,tn p.-.t- rt , ni,..
nn interesting sight to watch tho
cruiser hunting "Subs." Sho mado
you think of a bird dog, sho watched
B0 faithfully. About tho twelfth dny
out we woro met by seven Amer
ican chasers, then it wns n sight
worth watching. It almost looked im-
possible that a sub could get there
then, but late ono nftcmoon tho depth
charges begin to go off and excite-
ment ran high for n few minutes ns
i tho explosion from each gavo our ca
noe n good shaking. We soon lcnrn-
cd that a sub camo up insldo tho for-
mation, but sho didn't last but n very
fow seconds, for thoso chasers were
on' tho job,
Wo enmo up along tho Irish coast
nnd Up to Liverpool; stayed over night
nt n rest camp then went out
by rail to another rent camp
nt Winchester, passing Oxford, seeing
tho famous school buildings of that
place. Wo saw tho Rugsby school
buildings. Wo stayed nt Winchester;
elennedup Bomo war gardens that
woro bndly in need of nttotitlon. Wo
then went from thcro to South Hamp-
ton and snllcd from thcro across tho
chnnnol. Tho trip through England
carried us angling- ncross tho country.
But, tho trip ncross tho channel is pn
wc will long remember as, itwns a
roufth ono.
Wo landed at La Hnuro and stayed
in a rest camp there about two
days and nights. We boarded the
trnln'thero on Saturday evening, and
after switching around on several dif-
ferent directions wo landed
In Bouthoastcm Franco t LeCurncnut
in tho Province of Glrando about 1 p.
m. Monday evening. That was somo
place, too, tho middle of pinny
woods nnd sand half ilmco deep.
Thorp wo had our tnrgot rango. Sev-
eral big French officers ns well, n,a
American, olNcers woro thorJ to, wit-
ness u problem flro by tho Brigade,
after it was over ono of the French
Generals mndo iho remark that thoy
woro sent down ns Instructors, but
ithat Wei wero ns good as any of tho
(ubjuut; wiui nua ui. iw -iiuiii,. , u
hnvo tho artillery, too. Thoy woro
given three trial shots for adjustment
and out of tho trial shotsj a few of tho
targets wcro blown up. AVo had n
real nlco tlmo while thcro. Wo would
get passes to . tho adjoining
towns, ono of them being Bucnchom,
a sen-side plcnsuro resort Too wo
got to go to Bordeaux, third in alzo
In France,
About tho first of Oct. we landed
on tho river, Mnrno (at Viovllle) near
Nnney, In Jho mountains, nnd thoy
were somo mountains, too., Ncnr us
was im old church built fn OCff, in hon-
or of a girl murdered there In SCO, by

Ltgmercs, France, Dec. 25, Dear

somo of tho Hun work in some of the
towns ho is glad ho had tho job ho

fire. To last day wo wont over tho
top wo were to attack nt 4:30 and
our nrtlllcry was to lay n bnrrago
over on tho Gormnns from 4:20 to
4:30, then we wcro to follow nt 4:30
When tho barrage started It fell short
and fell on us instead of tho Germans.
.Thoro wo woro in our own shell flrd
(for ten minutes In tho worst plnco In
the world. Wo could not go cither
way. " How any of us over came out
nlivo is a mystery to mo. God was
certainly with us. Shells fell nil over
us but only two wcro killed and sov-
cra wounded there. We went Into thd
batto with 1G7 men nnd four officers.
Wc enmo out wtyh CG men and no of-
ficers nt nll. I was up for a commis-
sion but on Nov. 11 orders enmo from
Washington, no more promotions to
be had, but I am satisfied if wo can
Just get back to tho dear old U. S. A.
Wo havo our captain with us again
