HERBERT C. GRAVES
as Ambulance Unit Cook.

.C.
"The French are good soldiers, and
I they will hold the line. The boche
will never get to Paris."
This is the belief of Herbert C.
Graves, who wrote to his.mother, Mrs.
HerbertC. Graves, 324 Eleventh street
southeast, while under fire during .
German attack.
Graves formerly was a second lieu
tenant of cadets at Eastern High
School, but enlisted when war was
declared. He Is now "somewhere In
France" doing his bit as a cook In
an ambulance unit.
"This war is a funny war," Je
writes. "Sometimes It is men, guns,
cavalry, all moving for twenty-four
hours on the straight, and then again
it is peace and quiet for days.
"At night one can easily see the
flashes of the star shells. They il
luminate the ground in much the same
way as a lighthouse flashes rays of
light on the water.
"I like to watch the battles between
the German planes and our anti-aircraft
guns. The planes look like tiny
specks, and we know at the battle by
seeing small clouds of white smoke
in the air, as the bursting shells ex
plode directly over us and we duck for
shelter, for, as we used to say. 'What
goes up must come down.' And some
times we see black clouds of smoke
farther away. Then we know the
German anti-aircraft guns are at
work.
"Today about fifteen German planes
were seen at one time and expected
an attack, but we later found out
that they were only up for observa
tion. "There are a lot of wonderful eights
oyer hers, and I, will always remem
ber that I was a member of the A.
E. F."

SAYS SET. GERMER
"America Is In this war to win and
everything that you folks at home do
Is one big help to the boys at the
front," writes Sergt. John D. Germer.
a crew captain of aviation in France,
to his sister, Mrs. A. G. Henny, of 209
Fifth street southea.L
Germer enlisted February 0 and
was sent to Camp Sevier, Greenville,
N. C. where he remained until May
21, when he sailed for France. He
cays:
"The Red Cross gave the boys a
donation of tobacco; came in very
nice, too. Some real American
smokes. I have not met anyone I
knew In the States, but the fellows
I have been with In the aviation serv
ice the past eight months arc such
a fine bunch of fellows it seems as
if I had known them from boyhood;
a fine lot of fellows, all of them.
"I don't believe I v. Ill care much
for the city life any more. I have
been outside Just long enough to want
plenty of room and fr"sh air. I am
having a good time and never felt
better in my life. I would not mind
spending thp winter over hcr Just
as long as I hear from home. I don't
want to return until It's all over on
this side."

Editorial
"Well, I see ray w"k is non
essential, and I am a non-producer,"
said a, man to us, "and
I must go to work."
t
He is wrong. He has the
wrong viewpoint Nobody ever
did or ever will say that ANY
occupation is USELESS in
peace times unless it be the mak
ing of things with which to kill
our fellow beings.
But, just now the only thing
of importance is the winning of
the war. And, anything that
does not have to do with the
winning of the war is not an
essential occupation.
Get that straight in your
mind. Keep before yon the fact
that labor classifications made
NOW have nothing to do with
the usefulnes of your work un
der normal times.
When orders come from head
quarters, let us just hitch our
belts a little tighter, grin, and
do the things we are told to do,
so this war may be over the
sooner.
