My Dear George: I was very happy tonight because I have received, not as you might guess, a Croix de Guerre, promotion to a generalship or a nice legacy from some miserly old uncle whom every body had forgotten and neglected back there in old "Squeendunk,” but a let ter from home; two letters from Gladys, one from my mother, one from my sister, one from my brother Fred, and one from you. Every sol dier has experienced a complete re adjustment of values. A letter from home and tobacco—that is really all that counts. Money won’t buy either. Out of the tender hearts of the loved ones at home there flutter in from across the shimmering seas, letters— messengers of cheer, of hope, of love. The Y. M. C. A. ind Uncle Sam come down to us in trench and camp with soothing smokes; letters first, smokes next. We are consoled by the one while we wait for the other. It seems very strange, as I was just thinking of writing you the other day, when here comes your letter from the old town, full of the western breeze and art and news. Sorry to hear that Omaha seems so quiet now, but I anticipate that she will be a big ger and better place when we get back. Yes, I suppose that politics has to take a back seat now. I was automatically eliminated by reason of being in the army, from taking any part in the last municipal campaign. I voted by mail, however. How does it feel for Omaha not to have a Mayor Dahlman, but jus', a plain citizen, Jim Dahlman? When at Des Moines I heard he was defeated and wrote Scruggs that we would have to send him to congress. Sure enough, here j comes the New' York Herald, Paris ! edition, two months later, stating tha' he was out in the primaries for con gress. How did he come out? Well, George, I will say this: I have never known public officials whom I thought any more square than Jim Dahlman and George Magney. It was gratify ing to Iram that Dean Ringer landed. I have known him over twenty years. We have had many things in common. Fought on the same team against a common enemy at “Old Nebraska” and | associated with him as an attorney in the same litigation. You can’t beat him for all that goes to m*ke the man and scholar. We are not in sunny Italy, but 1 France. We are in the big drive (de leted by censor). We took 30,000 bochc prisoners in five days in our | sector and crowded them so fast that ; they couldn’t take their artillery. The battle started on the w'hole front on the 25th of September, with perhaps the finest bombardment known in his tory. The earth quaked with our guns and all along our sector, for twenty hours, there was a veritable Bedlam breaking loose. The boches were ter ror stricken (deleted by censor), and fled or surrendered by battalions and regiments. We came across strong fronts and dugouts which they had held for four years and had built them up like palaces, with electric lights, furnace heat, bath, pianos, frescoed walls, little chapels and gym nasiums. They are retreating in rout with American and French in hot pur suit. Turner, Madison and Pinkett are still in the regiment (deleted by cen sor). Haven’t seen Peebles ye'., but he is over here “somewhere.” George, I would like to W'rite you something for publication, but am so busy that I can nevej get my thoughts together on anything comprehensive. I often think of my friends in Omaha. Give them my best regards. Received a splendid letter from Jesse Rrillhart, which I have not answered yet. Give him my best regards. How many more appointments did we get under the present city administration? Was Bob Smith re-elected? Was Jim Dahlman nomina cd for congress ? It was the first I heard as to who was inspector of weights and measures. Did Ole hold tight? I could not hear from Scruggs. I was very much sur prised to hear that my letter was published. I haven’t seen it yet. Tell everybody, “Hello!” That the boys from Bam are brave soldiers that we are coming back victorious. Sin cerely your friend, Lt. WILL N. JOHNSON. Co. B 366, A. P. O. 766, A.
