In the first uncen sored letter re ceived from him in three years, Rob ert UcCrvm, a London business man, tells his sister, Mrs. Sarah Gerrie, manager of the cloak and suit depart ment of a downtown store, of the great joy in France at the comir.g of uenerai rersaing anc m men. "While I was in Paris," he writes, "having just made a business trip there,, the first American contingent arrived, and I witnessed the reception of General Pershjng and his staff. "I can tell you it is some honor to be an American in France just now. An American officer entered a cafe where we were having dinner one r.ight and the whole crowd rose and cheered for ten minutes. - "General Pershing was 'mobbed' every time he went ut, till they l:ad to provide a guard for liim. Poor France what a deliverance for them! No one will ever know all France has, done for civilization. All its wonder ful glory ml historv is as nothing compared with the sacrifices, it has made since 1914, and England and America nhoiild be oroud to stand beside it and give of-Jheir greatest and be:?. Concentrate on Airplanes. "America is going to make a differ ence, ud I firmly beh'rve will bring the end ruch nearer, but there is a tig job in front'of us yet'ahd it would not be wise q' underestimate the 'cun ning, r.nscrupulousne and resources of Fritz, especially when be has hi back to the wall. v. "If were giving any advice to the people at home it would be that you concentrat all your efforts on aero planes and pilots to drive them. They are going to be a big factor in the final push. "1 found two very anxious people awaiting me here on my return from Paris (wife and little daughter), for during my absence the Huns carried out a daylight raid, and, whjle tbey got nowhere near here,' it considera bly upset them. I have made up my mind that, no matter what the busi ness urgtMy, I shall not go to France acain till all is over. But 1 don't think it will be over quite as soon ail you anticipate. , . "The Huns' paid a visit in force forty in all to London yesterday, but did nothing like the damage they are claiming. In. fact, I. went out in the afternoon to hunt for it and it took me all afternoon to locate where they had been. We saw sixteen of them flying north with a squad of our own after them. I believe they were driven off by our airmetr and all made tracks for the coast. , Urges Them to Fight. "I am glad mother is well and do ing her bit in the Red Cross and Woman's Relief corps.
