Stationery at the Journal offices LETTERS FROM BOYS ACROSS THE WATER THREE NATIVE SONS OF PLATTS MOUTH WHO HELPED TO WHIP THE HUNS HOPE TO RETURN HOME SOON Their Letters Tell of Some of the Late Battles Fought and of the Thrilling Experience Had The following letters have lately been received from their writers who are now in France, where they took part in the world war and contrib uted their bit to the defeat of the Hun hoardes bent upon overrunning the world, and tell of their various experiences during the last weeks of the fight, as well as express the hope that they may be permitted to re turn home soon: Nov. 29, 1918 Dear Mother: Well we are now settled down in a little village in Luxenburg, where we spent Thanksgiving day and ate Thanksgiving dinner. We were not lucky enough to get any turkey, so our battery went out and bought nice pig and had it roasted and with what other things they bought, we had a fine meal. I don't think we will stay here long, but will move on towards the Rhine. I certainly have seen some real battles during the four months 6pent at the front. I was in the battle of Champigne July 14, the battle of the Marne July 18. the PUBLIC SALE!

AULT, Clerk. battle of St. Michel September 12th and the battle of Verdun November 1st. So you see the Rainbow divis ion has been in some. real battles. I see by the papers they are send- ing the boys home as rapidly as pos sible, but don't know when this Di vision will get to go. Hope we are! mere 10 spenu Christmas lor that will be some Christmas to remem her, indeed. Hoping this finds every one at home feeling fine, I am, with love, ROBERT B. WILL. B. F. 14 9. F. A. Dagonville, France. Nov. 28. Dear Folks: As this is Thanksgiving, and it be ing a holiday, I have nothing par ticular to do, so thought I would im prove the time by writing you a few lines. I don't know whether to thin every one has forgotten me or if have just had my letters "ditched,' as I have not heard irom anv one since the last of September, so you will kind of have to excuse me if don't write as often as I used to Anyway there is not much to write about these old French towns. As far as our work now is concerned it is simply waiting. I don't know what for, though either we go in to Germanv or back to America. No one ever knows where he is goin until he gets there. Well, I guess I will tell you that I was on the western front from Oc tober 14th to November 10th, or the day before the Armistice was signed Will say that the Dutch gave me a couple of good scares in one night Four of us were laying outside when the Fritzies started shelling and in a snort time the timber was lull or flying shrapnell. The gas came over in waves and I happened to get a little of the (smell) gas, which made me pretty sick for several days and a large number were sent to the hos pitals. They have not come back as yet so I do not know how bad they were. I hear thev are sending them all home from the hospitals. I wish :ould have gone now but anyhow hope it will be soon. One day this week I saw a guy that was trans ferred to this company and he said le was in Camp Cody with the boys from Plattsmouth and came over with them. He said that Art Sanip- ion was in this division and that he llso helped to bury Matt Jirousek at ea. I could scarcely believe it, as this is the first I have heard of any Plattsmouth boy paying the price, but I guess it might happen to any of us, no one knows. Well. I guess I will close for this ime. Wishing I could be with you all. Best regards to everyone. P. S. Say. Frances, tell mother uhat it is no use for me to try to 'end a picture as you wouldn't know ue. and as far as church. I have been to several French churches and if a man was at the front very long he never would forget his prayers. I might be a little early, but you :an't tell how long this will be on he way, so I wish you all a Merry 'hristmas. Give my best regards to all my friends. PVT. JAMES LEPERT. 13Sth Inf. Hdq. Co., 35th Div., A. E. F. Boullionville. France, Dec. 11. Dear Sister Edythe: Received your and mother's let- er the other day and as it is rain ing and no place to go will try and drop you a few lines. We are now ready to take a vaca tion. We have started twice and they canceled it. so we are still liv ing in hopes of going. There are 28 of us out of our company schedul ed to go at one time. Well, Sis. I sure would have liked to been in the state and saw the ex citement, but in another way would not take anything in the world for the experience that I have had and the things I have seen. But so far as we boys celebrating when the ar mistice was signed, why there was nothing to it. The only difference was in the noise from the guns, as everything was quiet and the boys could walk up and down the road without keeping close to cover. But I suppose that away from the front they had a big time. But as you know when a bunch of men lay In the trenches all the way rrom thirty to sixty days it does not make much difference. We had been in the trenches 37 days and when the armistice was signed we were in the woods near Fay-an-Hay. But we were all around between Fay-an-Hay, Pon-a-Mousson and also the St. Ma rie farm. We are now in billet that the Germans built along the side of hill so we are living like humans Instead of living in dugouts 45 feet under the grounti. But I thinK i heard as many G. I. cans or big six shells as any of the rest. We head ed the third army into Metz. Well. Sis. I suppose that it will be some time before I will get to come hack again, as we have been drawn i f., . .M.r,,..,r '". jf;-? v I , -a- I . ili - r j 1 v :.rwtf.:-r- The Above is a Picture of An Alexander Home Ganner!

VERSATILITY OF STAR IS SHOWN IN DANCES i Nazimova. the great star of the "",u "ulu,,Cotta2e Cliec! Demonstration will be presented at the Parmele theatre on next Tuesday and Wed nesday, January 14th and 15th, shows her ability as an artistic in- terpreter of classic dancing in this photodrama. Dressed as a bacchante, a priestess of Bacchus, god of wine and revelry, with leaves in her hair, a garland of grapes across her shoulders, with a goblet in one hand, and a cluster of grapes in the other, she performs 'La Danse Bacchanal," typifying the exhuberant spirit of revelry of a arisian cafe. The great Nazimovva executed this dance with true artistry and poetry of motion in graceful movements which were ideal for registration by the motion picture camera. It is said that the entire picture is one of - the most perfectly filmed spectacles . seen in Plattsmouth in many a dav, md its appearance here should be heralded with capacity houses.
