From a later letter we get the gra. diio deserlptlon of tho big buttle. ' After altVotiotiuto greetings to his tome folks, Sergt.

I now I am not seeing led oven though ve did just got an order to wear our i'iis musks at the "alert." Some one ays wo will get a cloud of wis right i way and no one seems to want to see us tile, bo they tell us to wear our gas nusks, It is a lot of fun to wear them, 'oo. 1 hope the attack don't conio because t is a most Inconvenient thing to have j run around breathing through a gus rttsk. Wo are just wearing thorn at vhnt is called the "alert." that is, eady to put on in not more than six eennds. 1 have heard nf fellows put- lug them on In one second, but don't now whether to believe suohu state - nont or not. I do know, liowver.th.t t fellow can put one on in mighty -hoit order when ho knows that It really means something to him to got t on quick. I nover saw a cloud gas attack so If 'his proves to bo one 1 will be seeing -omethlng new. I suppose you tiro reading those days low the Germans got licked on their tist big dilve.

Watch Inspector letter from some girl back home asking him when he got, his; bomb-proof job, but if stie hud been, around tho otlmr day sho would nave thought about moving back a .shott distuuee ai.y way. Tlfo night of the Uth-lrith, at exact ly midnight by my watch, I woke up with a start We had been cctting awakened uiuhts, bur this time it was a little iliiferetit. We usually went right buck to sleep, or else got up to seo the sight If they were shelling enough to show much This tlmo there wus no question about it. The sky was all lighted up as if thero was a bunch of big (lre.s all along the front and the big guns wore mnklug close and blight Hushes, like Humes leaping up fiom tho lire beneath. From the diiectlou of the trenches came u sound Dike that of a heavy wind end thunder storm. And tho Hashes and thunder seemed mighty close to us. Then the shells commenced to whine over our heads. Shells Unit were not going to hind anywhere near us would sound much HV a'i elevated railway train nt some distance oil, and there would bo whistling n de ahead of them. When (hey were going to burst pretty close, the noi-o they inula; is dllllcult to ties cribe. I have lu-anl many say they make a sort of wnhldimj nole, but tlifit don't iiiean 'tt ' t w nnd I swp poie it means les ! , j..,i llowcvoi a fellow lc iow. what is coining i.fXl when he Iiohi's Uni' noise, whi'cvi-t it ftO'HuU ii. ie, Xo one around headquarters wns killed or injured; In tact no shells hit closer to us than two hundred yards, Hut believe me, that in close enough for a fellow'u good health. Tho shell were landing within two or three hundred yards from us forabout forty eight hours, aveiaging abontoiij every eight or ten minuted. The big bom bardment lasted from twelve o'clock until about live o'clock the next morn lug. It was the heaviest during the first two hours (or else we were mot o scared ' then and noticed it mme. I don't know ' which) and then about three-thirty It got heavier again and came in ut an .awful rate lor an hour and a half j The French who were with us say they never heard anything like It, nnd j they were with the troops, in tho big battle of Verdun, so you may imnglnc it was some bombardinont. j When the Germans came over the , top they attacked with three men to our .one, and they never gained tin inch of ground.. Whcio they would make a llttlu Impression on our front lines the Americanswoiild immediate ly counter-uttact and th enemy had nil theii trouble for nothing I gut-ss the lossos wore oon worse a f' tho Germans than Ithe odds they NUMJ5ER CI I hail against us when they attacked. Tnoy wore laying around In heaps the (icjtnnrH weie nru!,tlic pllos wcrox not so small either. Taking every thing in toconsideration' we were mighty tickled over the out come, and my peisounl opinion is that it marks tho end of the German offen sive. The pnpers say they have beeu held all along the Hue the same us they were in the sector that thisdivis- Ion occupies, and that siiresoundstino. This Is the first time 1 have ventured to make a guess on the length q Uiet war but I am beginning to have hopes, that pence will tie declared before Christmas and a Kind of a hope that poiluips I may eat my Christmas din ner at home, too. Of course I may be a little optomls Ic, but I can't liolp but think the Ger mans got the worst licking of tholr , career when they started out this time. Their attack was sine short-lived. The night after the big doings you would not have leOognizcd tho place us the same partol the Hue before tho heavy artillery lire. The big battle or something else seems to have made rain a little more frequent of lato, but it hasn't run us out of our te'nt as yet. Don't know how much longer we m.iy be able to ' stay in it though. However, wo aro about two inches olT the ground and i well drained,. so it will take q lite a j ruin to inn us out Tli eiwsinj- p uMg iphs nt sergt.

Each One Has a Duty Fiom the best people and the high est authorities ever land again comes endorsement of tho moving picture as an educational factor. This angle of the "silent drama"was never better exemplified than in "Tito Gown of Fate," presented nt the Orph emu by .Manager Warren, Friday and Satutduy. Evidence of its attrictivo power lies In the fact that tho nudlonco was lnrg er at tho third presentation than at. tho preceding cues. The title Is misleading. It suggests lovo, laces and lingerie, while as a manor of fact the picture is a high grade war story, replete with patriot- Ism and tin 111. Its strong lessou is that everyono has his or her part to perform in tho great world war. That we cannot all be soldiers at the front, but we can perform duties here at homo which aro or equal vuluo. That each otio of us can do foino necessary part In mnk- lug tho world safe for democracy. id; .!' i 3-1 11 m Ti-i Ml r"?ig&.??TSgt!&S!V
