LETTER COMES BACK
FROM THE TRENCHES
Vic Jouvenant, Somewhere in
France, Tells of Incidents
Along the Battle
Front.
"Yesterday I got a bath, the first
one since goodness knows when,"
writes Vic Jouvenant, former Lin
coln boy, who is now "somewhere in
France," to a friend. "After wearing
your clothes constantly and wading
around in trench mud half way to
your knees, it sure goes fine to crawl
into the water.
"I go out again tonight to the
trenches and put in another good
siege. No sleep up there, as it is on
the line and things are generally so
hot that it keeps you busy looking
for a safe place. So far I've been
lucky, although I've had some fairly
close calls. Talk about thrills you
sure get them.
"The driving shells have a nice
whistle, which is a darn good sign
to get tinder cover. ' They break and
spread into a fan-shape, which gives
a fellow a good chance unless they
light on his body.
These Break Uigh.
"Of course, the shrapnel break high
as they are timed to explode over
head and spread down little steel
marbles. That's when the helmets
come in handy. They also come in
handy when ducking under cover. ' I
bet I'd cracked by, head 1,000,000
times if it had not ben for 'the old
t: . derby.'
"The Germans having been driven
back and we are using their trenches
and the dugouts connected with the
trenches. They are some dugouts,
ranging from twenty-five to thirty-
nve feet in depth, damp and cold.
They have bunks down the side, 'Pull
man style,' except they have chicken
wire springs. They are fairly safe as
it would take a' '410' to get down
through one, although at that a little
77 could hit in such a way as to
bury the gang. But that's a chance
we don t count on at an. tseueve me,
these old dugoufs seem like home
after being in the trenches at work.
"The other evening I saw a French
plane sneak over the lines and bring
down a Boche balloon. It sure did it
pretty and got back across the line
safely, although they did pepper the
shrapnel at him in fine shape and it
almost got some of us below as we
were watching the performance.
"A few days ago a Boche sneaked
over here in a French plane and
punctured three of.ours before he was
recognized as an enemy. Well, he got
three and a. heck of a day's work,
but he never got back to tell it, as
he did three flipflops and lighted on
his good ear on our side of the lines.
"When we come back on 'repos,' we
are all in this little village, where all
is quiet except for an occasional
Boche flying over and dropping his
calling -cards. "
"These French people ara wonder
ful to work wih. The women stay
right in 'the villages until the last
They are a brave bunch and I take
off my hat to .them and am gla,d to
be connected with them."

university in the class of 1917.
