We might start home about the 1st

that you could laugh about. And
again I could tell you things that

LETTER FROM
ROBERT WILL
IN GERMANY
TELLS OF BATTLES IN WHICH
HE PARTICIPATED GER
MANS NOT STARVING
WAS IN MUCH HARD FIGHTING
Sas Report Current They are Going
to Get a Furlough Wants to
Go to Coblenz on Rhine.
From Thursday's Dally.
The following letter has been re
ceived from Robert Will, who is now
in Germany, and but a short dis
tance from the Rhine river, where
he is doing duty with the Army of
Occupation, after a long siege of hard
fighting with the A. E. F., in which
he barely escaped injury several dif
ferent time. It is Robert's greatest
desire to be privileged to visit the
city of Coblenz, on the Rhine, and to
get a good look at this great Ger
man stream before he returns to the
states, but if they told him he might
sail for home tomorrow, we bet dol
lars to doughnuts that he'd forget a!l
about his ambition to take a sail on
the Rhine. His letter, written to
his mother. Mrs. A. S. Will, of this
city, follows: "
Ringer, Germany. Jan. 1C.
m
Hear Mother:
Having a little time this morning.
I am writing you a letter to tell you
I am still feeling fine and hope this
finds you likewise. We are staying
five in a small room, but with plenty
of heat and light.
We certainly have had fine weath
er here since we landed. It has hard
ly been cold enough to freeze the
ground. I hope it remains warm,
for doing guard duty on a cold night
is not just to the liking of most of
the boys.
The report is current here now
that they are going to give tisi fu
lough, and if so I want to go to Cob
lenz. which is on the Rhine, and is
about fifty Kilos, or thirty miles to
the east of us. I hope the leave of
absence is allowed, for I would like
to see the city and take a sail up the
Rhine. Our largest town clos-e here
is Ahsweuler, and it is here we go
when not on duty.
Bv the looks of things, I think we
will be home by 1920 if nothing tlse
turns up. , We had thought that we
would be among the first to return,
but those who fought so hard in the
S. O. S. near Paris, and who are all
run down, were decreed to be the
ones needing the rest more than we,
and so have been ordered back first.
Say, by the way the papers talk.
one would think tne uermans are
starving, but from what I have seem
thev are not so bad off, although I
will admit they have poor bread. Let
them eat it a few years though, and
maybe they won't be so anxious for
another war. They raise lots of
wheat, potatoes and sugar beets and
everv barn is full of cows, while the
yards are filled with chickens, so
they cannot be so badly off as they
pretend To be.
Here is a brief account of where
we have been from July 1st until the
11th of November, the day the armis
tice was signed: Landed July 1st
at Liverpool, England, and from
there went to South Hampton, leav
ing there July 4th on our trip across
the English channel. We landed at
Lallarve, France, where we remain
ed but a few days, and then went by
rail to the Champagne front, where
I joined the 149th Field Artillery,
42nd Division, and was there in the
critical fighting from July 14th to
July 18th, and had the honor of be
ing with the only American Division
to fight in General Gomand's army,
where' we so gloriously obeyed his
orders, "V ewill stand or die," and
by our iron defense crushed the Ger
man assault, making possible the of
fensive of July 18th to the west of
Rheims. From Champagne we were
called to take part in exploiting the
success north of the Marne.
Fresh from the battle front before
Chalins, we were thrown against the
picked troops of the Germans. For
eight consecutive days we attacked
skillfully prepared positions, captur
ing great stores of arms and am
munition. We forced the crossing of the
Orucq. took hill 212. Sergy. Mency,
Femes and Scenes. We drove the
enemy, including the Impefial Guard
division, the depth of fifteen kilo
meters, and when our Infantry was
relieved we were in full pursuit of J
the retreating Germans.
So our Artillery continued to pro
gress and support another American
Infantry division in. the advance to
the Vesle. After being there for
some time 'another unit came along
ari,' relieved us, and we thought we
j were going to get a good long rest,
utiu luiirt iffii,'
the little vil-j

but after being back at
were called to help take part in the.
battle of St. Mieheil, where on Sep-
I

Germans back toward Met?., taking
many towns and villages. From there
we wejit to the Argonne front, where
on November 1st we started the last
drive, following the retreating Ger
mans to the -gates of Sedan, where
wo were on November 11th when the
armistice was signed. So we pulled
back and got the rest of our cam pan
ics and started on our journey to the
Rhine, anil I am now waiting at the
little village of Ringer for the peace
pact to be signed, after .which we
expect to get. the orders, "Home

continued Mr. Passage, "my mother
has had trouble with he,r stomach,
and I can truthfully say that Tanlao
is the only medicine I have been able
to find in all that time to do her any

with her and she was subject to fre
quent attacks of acute indigestion.
In a little, while after eating, hr
food would s-oiir and bloat her up
with gas and cause her to suffer for
hours. At time the gas would press
in her heart, almost cutting off hor
breath, and I actually thought she
wa going to die. She complained
of awful pains through her stomach
and left side and would belch up
sour gas for hours. I have often had
to get up in the middle of the night
ind doctor her on account of tliLs
gas, and I don't believe she ever got

There was a little alarm last
night of lire, which was supposed
to be at the apartment house, the
janitorhad built a little extra fire,
and as the rooms got warmed, the
radiators were closed down, and this
raised the steam in the boiler, and
the pop valve popped off, and with
the escaping steam one of the ten
ants turned in the fire alarm. When
the department responded there was
no lire to be found. Some excite
ment but no fire.
