From the Boys
Leonard J. O'Brien, Germany
The following letter was written by
Leonard O'Brien, son of Mr. and Mrs.
D. P. O'Brien, of near Denison, who
"was with the army of occupation until
recently. Leonard gives an interest­
ing account of his travels, also of his
experiences while the war was going
on, as he went over the top four
times and escaped uninjured.
Godbrange, Luxemburg, Dec. 24.
'Dear Cousin:
How are you all? I am fine, getting
ready for a big Christmas dinner.
We are going to have chicken, but
of course the dinner won't be any
thing like at home. But then I am
thankful to be alive to eat chicken this
Christmas. A year ago tonight I was
down to meet Uncle James at Buck
Grove. I suppose he will be there
tonight.
I 'have had more experience the past
year than I want in the next ten. We
were on the Verdun front. I went
over the top four times along the
Meuse river at Forges Consenvoye
and a bunch more of those towns, the
first time the morning of September
26th. Believe me, I can never forget
that day.
When we first came across we were
in, the lines near Albert and Amiens
on the English front, then we moved
down near Verdun. Some of our regi
ment went over on July 4th, but our
company was not one of them. They
went over at Hammel Wood. You
probably have read about it. It was
at Troyn, France, the morning they
quit firing. I was on my way back
from Chambroy, but our company was
ftt St. Mihiel. We walked all the way
from St. Maurice to Murich, Germany,
crossed the Mosell river at Rcmich
Lux., stayed In Germany two days and
nights. The Germans treated us good.
Met German soldiers that fought
against us. W6 were taken out of the
army of occupation so maybe we can
go home before long.
Tell James I haven't a single sou
venir. When we were in the big drive
I had a whole German outfit, but you
know a doughboy has to lug every
thing he owns. We had to make some
long hikes so I threw the junk away.
We are not many miles from Metz,
but I haven't been there yet.
Well, this will be all. Merry Christ
mas to you all and maybe I will be
hack as soon as this letter.
Leonard J. O'Brien.
Co. B, 132d Inf., A. E. F.
Jens Lass, Pelm, Germany
Below we print a letter received by
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lass, of this city,
from their son, Jens, whd at present is
•with the army of occupation In Ger
many. This is the first word received
from Jens since November, that let
ter being written October 13tli. Inas
much as he was in active service and
not having received any news of him
since the signing of the armistice, his
parents have been greatly worried
about him, and this letter was a great
relief to them.
Pelm, Germany, Dec. 17, 1918.
Dear Folks:
I have not much to do today so will
answer your letter which I received
some time ago. I am fine and dandy
and hope these f£w lines will find you
all the same.
We are in Germany now and it sure
looks different from France. We are
in the army of occupation. It sure is
good after the armistice was signed,
as we were on the front all the time,
and it seemed so good to get away
from there. We were on the St. Mi
hiel front and also on the Argonne
front.
It is raining nearly all the time here.
We marched from France to this place
and they said it was about 280 kin. or
175 miles. What do you think about
that for a walk? We left France the
29th of November and got here De
cember lGth.
We have plenty to eat over here, but
sometimes we get "corn willie" and
that is not the soldier friend. This
morning for breakfast we had bread,
potatoes, rice, coffee, syrup and but
ter.
I haven't seen anybody over here
that I know. I sure would like to see
Frank.
I expect we will spend Christmas
in Germany this year, but I will make
the best of it. I will close for this
time, hoping to hear from you soon.
From your brother, Jens.

Today marks an event for very
many of us here. President Wilson
and liis wife shook hands with and
spoke to every patient here in the hos
pital on their visit today. Being a
bed patient and in "appariel," the pres
ident spoke at length to me, asking
about my leg, remarking as to the
prevalence of' leg wounds, saying I
looked well and assusigg us that we
would he in the United' States soon.
Mrs. Wilson also asked about my
wound, as to the time spent here and
also wished jis a speedy return to the
United States. The aair is an event
to be happily remembered by us.
So far there has been no snow here
in Paris, but the weather has been
cold and rainy. Although Christmas
is but a few days away it seems more
like October.
A lady brought us each some roses,
a piece of chocolate and a souvenir
handkerchief this afternoon as a
Christmas present. As a rule Sun
days are dull but today has been rath
er out of the ordinary. Variety tends
to lessen the weary hours. Love to
all the folks. Earl.

Earl Hoffman, France
The letters appearing below were
received by Mr. and Mrs. John Hoff
man of this city from their son, Earl,
who was severely wounded some time
ago. The letters are most interest
ing, inasmuch as they speak og the
good care received and also of Presi
dent Wilson's visit to the hospital
where Earl is receiving care.
Dec. 22, 1918.
Dear Brother and Folks:
Yours of November 30th came to
me yesterday and was one of the first
three letters I have received since
coining to the hospital.
This date finds me still in bed on
my back with my leg hanging in the
suspended splint. It will take around
another month for my wounds to heal
up and then my bum leg won't be
strong for a long time. There is not
a great deal of pain any more, but
time is required for the healing pro
cess. The nature of my wound will
bring a disability discharge from the
army as soon as a discharge can be
granted, but I do not have a guess as
to when that will be. Also I have no
idea when I will be sent back to the
United States.
January 3d.
Dear Folks:
Here it is ten weeks since I was
hit and I am in the same position on
my back with my leg hanging in the
"appariel." My leg was so smashed
that it takes so long for the bone to
fill in. You were very premature in
your expectations for me to be home
by Christmas. If I am home by Eas
ter 1 will be lucky perhaps. I just
aim to pass the time for it seems that
my leg makes ery slow progress.
I am in a ward with twelve beds.
Aa present all but two of us can get
up and around and some of the boys
make trips to Paris. I am hoping I
will be able to see some of Paris be
fore I am returned to the United
States, but suppose that is beyond my
run of luck. Christmas was made sis
merry for us as possible, under the
circumstances. The Red Cross, Sal
vation Army, Y. M. C. A. and nurses
remembered us and I haven't finish
ed eating my Christmas candy yet.
We had nuts, candy, oranges, etc. Al
so we had a nice dinner—olives, cel
ery, clear soup, turkey, mashed po
tatoes, pease, ice cream, fruit cake,

GROWTH IN NON-COLLEGIATE
WORK
Young men who had not completed
high school could not be enrolled in
the Iowa State college S. A. T. C. last
fall. Due to this fact, not many young
men of this grade entered school
rather they sought opportunity to get
into the service elsewhere. When the
war closed, these young men, nearly
two hundred, turned up again at that
institution for special training along
the lines of animal raising, farm me
chanics, dairy and auto mechanics.
The special war training courses giv
en during the war demonstrated to
