r- "f f" THE COCONINO SUN PAGE THREE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1918. tf ) Letters From Goconino Boys "Over There" PERSONAL EXPERIENCES IN THE TRENCHES Albert Pitts gives a most inter esting account of his personal expe riences in trench warfare, while rest ing behind the front lines. Albert is the son of James A. Pitts of Sellg man, a well-known pioneer of Flagstaff-France, August 1C, 1918. My Dear Father: I am making you a copy of a few notes jotted down at random, that is, written when pen or pencil were avail able, and when not too lazy to write. They begin with the day before we left our training camp for a certain front and run up to date. If these could be saved I would enjoy reading them when the war is won. The day before leaving we turned in all blankets but one, then the billet where thirty of us were quartered, the Becond story of a barn, was given the only cleaning it has had in history. The men are "pretty much" excited. About half of them made up their packs 18 hours in advance. The rest of us doubled up in the one blanket', shelter half and slicker, and put in a good night's freeze. I rustled up a few candles and read Lorna Doone. I stole the book from the Y. M, C. A. About midnight I went to put the book in a kit of clothes and found them scattered about here and there. A fellow in the next-bunk rolled over and said that he had undone the kit and was using my sweater to keep his head warm. He had made his pack early in the day and was then paying for over-vigilance. This marks the end of the fiery and furious tortures of hell.

I wanted to fall out time and time again. Almost a third of "A" company petered out. The kitchen preceded us by about one-half mile, but the mules couldn't cut the mus tard, so I and seven other fellows were, sent out to give a hand. I couldn't stand the gaff, in spite of the major's encouragement, and fell back to the company. At noon we were given n piece of red horse (that is corned beef, known as" red horse, corned willie, etc.) I worked a bugler, who was dishing it out, for two pieces' and stole a third. When the hike was resumed, I nearly perished for lack of water. Alas, how I repented the corned willie. At last, after tramping all day,- we staggered into the town where we were to entrain for the front. A hot meal of "slum" coffee and hard tack was waiting us. About dark we piled into box cars marked "10 horses or 40 men." These cars are only half as large as American cars. When our thirty men wero jostled into the car they had to do a sardine formation to make room for the reserve rations which were issued us. Today we de trained, heard first artillery fire, took note of the beautiful country, at least rank vegetation, majestic mountains rising grandly and in silent disdain above the town. They seem to be sit ting in harsh judgment on man and his works. Village clean, evidence of industry, progress and sanitation. Walked with Nehil, obs'erved flowers and gardent plots in windows, visited a church. Always pleases me to go into one, for it represents man's at tempt to express a lofty purpose of life, to assert goodness and sincerity. Bad as man is he is idealistic a marked degree. His various systems of religion, insufficient as they all are, represent his search for the ideal life. It may be that we overlook the possibilities of this life, should it not bo idealized, is life the end of life, otherwise why do we hold it so pre vious and dear? ' Little children came under my ob servation. When the war started many of them were unborn, others were mere tots. They have probably heard their parents talk of peace in the same wild-eyed astonishment that I used to listen to stories of the Civil and Span ish wars. Visited the park. House has suf fered considerably from rifle fire. I will follow up with the second in stallment in a few days. Hope the notes are readable. If you can't de cipher them, have Ella help you. She was always a genius nt reading scrawling penmanship. We are still in reserve, with noth ing to disturb us but German air raids. I wish you would ask Uncle Charlie to write to me. Affectionately, ALBERT. August, 18, 1918. Company B, 125th Infantry, American Postoffice 734, American E. F. My Dear Father: A few more of the notes for your perusal, installment No. 2: Company was paid last night after all the grog shops had closed. The men this morning bought all the bread, eggs and jam in town. Few were at mess, most went into the woods and cooked own food. Wan dered down town tonight; Bastedo and I managed to have supper after a fashion with a German family. The old frau was very unfriendly, and was willing to feed us only after the dis play of a large number of francs. 1 bought a bottle of champagne, which probably played a good role in win ning her over to our cause of eating. At the supper table were her two daughters, their two-fatheaded lovers, and one little girl about six or seven, who had big brown eyes. I gave her a few sous. AH were sulky and mo rose; I Very affable with my meager French; treated them all to a drink, and for a few slices of sausage and potato salad we parted with five francs. I find it difficult to place valua tions on different people, both as in dividuals and as types of nationalities. The French have a tendency to un tidiness it runs to1 dirtyness at times their houses are not well ordered, personal appearance unkempt, but they are spirited, buoyant, brave, gen erous they give all, life and soul, fo' a cause and ideal; their character is full of contradictions, they are the very spirit of antitheses, combinations of heaven and earthy' muck, but heroes every hour of the day. The Germans are heavy, loggy, comprehending tny thing by its division, understanding by virtue of the indulgence of time's length. They have p dislike for any activity of imagination which cannot be conveniently catalogued. They re deem in a measure by the conduct p1" their private home. In the Boche home you do not find the warm, hearty friendship that springs up over a French table in a few minutes, but there is found neatness, things well ordered system, system, the Teutonjc strength is always in evidence; the women are fresh, clean and habitually proper. Soggy, industrious people. It is hard to bring these people to jur! ment, because we are in the midst of a struggle that arouses enthusiasms and animosities bases on immediate rela tionships; our' standards fluctuate with the entry of each exterior cir cumstance. Patricularly difficult to judge whenhope, faith and morals are upset and distracted by the tremen dous revolution in thought and ethics the world is now undergoing. Today was happily spent, attended what was supposed to be a bombers' school, but it degenerated into a crap game Jn the, afternoon I Jtook a stroll through the village. Bought some Swiss cheese and a can of apple jelly. the Boys "Over In haggling with the tradesmen it oc curred to me that the general Euro pean indictment against Yankee greed is made in a thoroughly ungenerous spirit. In America greed is boisterous, healthy, open and rude. Here among these simple people, avarice asserts it self in the lowest forms crude cun ning, mixed with abject envy. It is j vice begot of political repression and economic scarcity. Again visited the church. 'Evidences of battle in-this town. Have been told that there was at one time severe hand-to-hand fighting in the streets, I was made immensely happyby the receipt of a snap-shot of Victoria. Only she, or the memory of her, not even her letters, can denote her truly. My heart warmed and the old spirit ual intoxication came back when I saw her likeness. How pure, artless, truth ful and hopeful she seemed. I must not forget the first time that I came in proximity of artillery fire. This was friendly fire. The guns pitch and rear and buck like a thing alive. We could hear a shell whizzing by and I called out, ".See, there she goes." A lieutenant looked up and asked "Where?" Thereafter he looked very sheepish. When we came out of the hills, we saw troops double timing. Marvelled exceedingly, knew the Boche was not coming, for we had been near the front. Someone sug gested that a ration issue was in prog ress. Such would have probably stimu. lated the men to such extraordinary actixity. The cause of the commotion was the major's speech to the men, telling them, among other things, that he was sick, and that the bellowing of the bucks at midnight, who had re turned from a beer bust, had greatly aggravated his ill health. The next time I write, I will tell you about the first two hitches we did in the trenches. As war goes, the last few days have been quiet; there is plenty of artillery activity and bomb ing expeditions of the Germans. One of our planes brought down an enemy this afternoon. I intended to send you a great many souvenirs of. the battle; there were any number of articles that would probably interest you cannons, ma chine guns, rifles, bayonets, over coats, grenades, shelles of all calibre, helmets (the Germans camouflage some of their helmets), and so on. But, as Uncle Henry used to make that tremendous qualification, there were plenty of relics, but they were too hcaw to carry. In less than two weeks I lost all my equipment except rifle, side-arms, gas mask and extra ammunition. You understand how ex hausted I had become, and how diffi cult it would have been to please you with a howitzer at that particular time. I shall keep my eyes open, now that we arejn reserve, and try to send you something of interest. I drank some water out of a clear, babbling brook, like Tennyson's, that comes from haunts of coot and hern, that makes a sudden sallv only when I went ud the stream fifty feet T found a dead Boche in it. Since that time I have been desperately ill. Affectionately, ALBERT. The enclosed piece of canvas is not sent as a souvenir, but a suggestion of historic value. It is taken from the plane of Lieut. Quinten Roosevelt. (i ITEMS OF INTEREST I ABOUT OUR BOYS OVER HERE AND "OVER THERE" Earl Boyer Making Good.

Rior- dan, Irven describes many strange and primitive customs among the rrench people: Aug. 14, 1018. Mr. M. J. Riordan, Dear Friend: .Received yur most welcome letter yesterday and was certainly glad to hear from you. I am getting along fine in this countrv. so that I haven't any complaint to make. We are now camped in a beautiful place. I am in an ammunition train which is made up of Texas boys, so you see I am with boys who lived in a state next to mine and so it is much easier for me to get along as I understand their ways, which is the good part of it all. This is certainly an interesting country; everything so green and the weather is the same as that of Phoe nix. It will be about a month before the grapes, and then I can get back to the old game of mine, which is bor rowing on the sly, or, in other words, just helping myself. The French peo ple are the most polite and generous. people that I have met. Any soldier can go into their houses and they will always ask you to have something to eat or want you to sit down, and then the trouble comes when they start talking to you. You said in your letter that I ought to he able to talk the parley voo stuff. Well, Mr. Riordan, I can talk, but all I can say is "hello" and "give mesomc bread," which is all I want to know although when I see these pretty French girls I get out my little red dictionary, and then 1 begin looking up words, at the same time trying to keep her interested so that she won't get disgusted and run off, but the latter is where I fail. I am not interesting enough, although we have good time. As for" the coun try, it seems a shame that these peo ple in these parts only plant it in grapes instead of putting it into wheat or something that they could -live on and also make more money. Today I noticed something that amused me very much, and that was the French people thrashing wheat They have their wheat in bundle-, which is tied by some more hay made into a sort of rope. They scatter the wheat out in a circle, laying the heads all the same way. They then have a big stone roller, which would weight anywhere from 400 to 600 pounds. They put two oxens which follow around an old fellow; following the roller there is five or six other people with long sticks which have a leather joint in the middle, and they pound the wheat. After this they take forked sticks, which they use for pitchforks; they then put the straw into a pile. After doing this they get their brooms and you know what kind they are. After porting the wheat they grind it into the said flour. I have done a little of this, just helping out for the sport of it, as all Arizona fellows do. It is sure an amusing sight to see how these people handle their oxens. They handle them as we would a pet horse or some other kind of a pet. On Sunday they go calling or out on a spree with their horses or burros, which they Hold in their esti mation the same as our auto. I have only been puzzled at one thing since coming to this country, and that is how they can put such loads on these two-whel carts of their's. They put more on one wagon which has only two wheels than the men in the States can put on a four-wheel farm wagon. ,1 am now going up for a corporal mechanic in my company, which I am almost certain I can get. Fletcher Fairchild is in the same company. He is getting along fine and enjoying the best of health. We are getting the best of grub over here, so on that we can't complain. Well, Mr. Riordan, I guess I had better close for this time, as I am out of news, and it is almost time for taps, which means lights out, so I will close for this time. Give my best regards to all. Hoping this finds all of you in best of health, and hoping to remain your ever friend, Yours sincerely, IRVEN FRANCIS, Speaking of the above letter, Mr. Riordan says: "Here's the bulliest letter I have yet seen from France. Irven has an eye in his head and he sees straight. Best of all, you will see from the let ter that the Flagstaff boys between times shuck the sweaters the girls are knitting for them and pile in and help the ranchers harvest their crops. This is one of the most interesting letters I have seen, from grapes to girls, and from flails to distionaries, and from burros to autos." , o COCONINO COUNTY BOYS THANK RED CROSS Co. 12, Recruit Receiving Camp, Camp Kearny, Calif., Sept 14, 1918.

AINT NO GUY IN BOCHE ARMY SO NEAR-SIGHTED HE CANT SEE US AMERICANS Among the spoils of war reocvered by the American soldiers in the victo rious fighting through the Chateau Thierry region are numerous pairs of fine binoculars hastily discarded by German officers. In some sections where the Yankees had been obliged to move "tout de suite," it seemed to have been raining fild glasses when the victors reached the scene. A canteen worker attached to one of the Y. M. C. A huts near the front was talking with a "hard guy" in olive drab. The "hard guy" was from East St. Louis and, judging from his con versation, he had been one of the social leaders of the town. "Why is it," said the Red Triangle man. "that the Germans throw away so many pairs of binoculars when they get ready to beat it? The glasses weigh practically nothing, and as they are attached to a strap hung around the neck, they wouldn't be any trouble to carry. I can understand a soldier shedding his overcoat, knapsack, rifle and tin hat if he was in a hurry to get thither from hither, but why un load an article that is expensive and hard to get at any price when it is as small and light as a pair of field 7" "Listen, bo," replied the East St. Louis soldier. "The Huns ain't mak ing no sucker play when they cans them field cheaters. They know some thing, does them Heinies. After goin' up agin us Yanks a couple of times they savvy that they ain't goin' to need no glasses to see us 'cause we're goin' to be right on toppa 'em. No, sir ;when they was chasin' them Roos ians all over the map over on the east fron they had to have glasses to see their prey; but they ain't no guy in the Boche army that is so near-sighted he won't see us Americans if he just sticks around. What them birds figure they need is speed, not glasses. And take it from me, that ain't bad figurin, either." 0 The sting of a wasp is only one-thirty-second of an inch long.
