Dear Papa : I am writing on the
run, as the brave and glorious soldiers
under my command have not seen the
Rhine for so long that they have start
ed that way. ami, of course, I am going
mit dem.
Oh. pap, dere 'has been some offel
dings happened here in France. First,
I started my big offensive, which was
to crush the fool Americans, but dey
know so little military tactics dat dey
will not be smashed just like I want
'em. I sent my men in der fight in big
waves, and when dey got to de Ameri
cans dey all said "BOO ! !" as loud as
dey could holler. Veil, according to
what you haf always told me, der
Americans should haf turned and run
like blazes. But what you tink? Dem
fool Americans don't know anything
about war, and instead of running de
odder vey. dey come right toward us.
Some of dem was singing something
alout "Vee von't come back till it's
over, over there," or some odder fool
ish song, and some of dem laffing like
fools. Dey are so ignorant.
ting, so I turned round an run mit de
odder 1mvs. Vas I right? And. papa.
you know dem breast plates vat you
sent us, can you send some to put on
our backs? You know vee are going
de odder- vay now, and breast plates
are no good, for the cowardly Ameri
cans are shooting us right in de back.
Some of our Inns took off dere breast
plates and put 'em behind, but de fool
Americans are playing "De Star
Spangled Banner" mit machine guns on
dem plates. Can't you help us?
You remember in your speech you
said nothing could stand before the
brave German soldiers. Oh, papa. I
don't believe dose ignorant Americans
ever read your speech, for dey run af
ter us just like ve vas a lot of rabbits.
Vot you tink of dot? Can't you send
some of your speeches right away. Dey
don't know how terrible vee are. Can't
you move my army back to Belgium
vere vee von all our glory? My men

goes without saying. It will encourage
the boys to redouble their efforts in the
drive next week, and if anything were
needed to send Ormsby county over the

Winning the flag is a fine achieve-
