1 Dearest Father and. Mother;
1 will again, with much pleasure,
take the time to write to you, to let
you know 1 am still thinking of you,
and of the happy days when I get

I plenty to cat, and a good place to
| sleep, and plenty of warm clothing, •
i but that isn't v hat I want; I want to
'bo with my people. 1 don’t know,
but 1 think we ■ c not over here for
\ many more months. I hope not.any
' way. I ask the Lord each night be
! fore 1 go to sleep, to keep both of
| you. It is gei.iag cold over here

I day, but today it is raining. There
| has not been a good, sunny day since
j the arniist!: e was signed, that I can
; recall, but maybe every day will be

Well, as 1 have written about all
I can think of, I will close. Give my
love to Adele nd all. 1 will say
good-bye. Your loving son,

I The following letter has been re
j ceived by Dr. Mas. W. Meade, of Fish
ing Creek, from his brother, who is
j with the American Expeditionary
I Forces in France:
Fiance, January 1, 1919.
j Dear l y ula and Doc-:
I received your letter of Nov. 26th
■ and was surely glad to hear from you
Your having mentioned about see
ing a picture of U. S. Troops march
ing in Alsace, reminds me of the
fact that a movie photographer took
some pictures of our Battalion, the
3rd Battalion. 115th Lift.. Companies
I. K, L, and M, while we were down
there. This took place when we
were being reviewed by Major Gen
eral Morton during ceremonies upon
the decoration cf two of the men of
K Company, for bravery shown dur
ing an enemy raid on our trenches,
on the 31st of July, 19IS These
boys received the Distinguished Ser
vice Metal. This also reminds me
that one of the men of the Ambu
lance Gom.pany was cited fo- bravery
exhibited during one of our raids on
the enemy trenches on the 31st of
August, 1918. As it happens, the
dates are the same, except that they
are one month apart. The latter
one of our best Sergeants and one
private, Ist class, and a few men
wounded, some shell shocked, others
right badly shaken up.
During this latter raid a comical
thing happened, and, as a matter of
fact, comical things were always hap
pening. One of the shortest men
who went on the raiding party was
seen to suddenly fly off of his feet
and land several yards away, cover
ed up with dirt. One of the Ser
geants who thought that the fellow
had surely been killed by the shrap
nel from the exploding shell, which
was the cause of this sudden flying
of dirt and great concussion, imme
diately ordered one of the men to
get the fellow’s name from his iden
tification tag. Suddenly, as though
he were rising from the dead, the
kid recovered from the shock, and
up he jumped, shaking himself and
saying; “I’m alright, damn it; I’m
alright, damn it, go ahead.’
This* - sector, the one in the lower
Alsace, where the above happenings
occurred, proved to be quite a pic
nic after we experienced our trip to
the real Western front, in the Ar
gonne, where the big guns were con
tinually bombing. Any man can say
what he wants to, but if h v ; tells me
that he went into, the Argonne fight
and came out without being some
what nervous. I’ll be tempted to tell
him that he lies, or has. never seen
the Argonne. They say that Chateau
Thierry and the Argonne were two
of the bloodiest battles of the war.
I did not experience the former, but
deliver me from the latter if such
has to take place again. Machine
guns were as thick as bees, and the
sing of bullets mighty trying- Shrap
nel shells were another worrysome
thing. I’d rather hear the gentle
sing of far flying shells, however,
'than when old Mars begins to put on
j the breaks and let them come down
i near you with a sudden slowing
down rush of aii and a mighty bang.
I shall ho very glad to get the
knives which you are having sent to
' me. and shall try to get Ed's to him
\o. K. The box. of course, I have not
I received as yet, in which the knives
! are supposed to be packed,
i Remember mo to all the folks and
i write soon again. Trusting that you
and Lula are quite well, and saying
i that I am feeling alright now, I
shall close. With lots of love.
Your brother,
ARTHUR.
■ Mr. Raymond L. Wiley, this city,
I has received the following letter
! from his son, Private William E.
I Wiley, who was reported missing in
j action. He explains in this letter
how the report was started. The let-
I ter is sent to Mr. Wiley’s wife:
-Fresnes, France.
January 1. 1919.
n
Dear Mrs. Alice:
Your letter of Dec. 11th came to
day, and was some surprised to hear
the news you received, and I am on
ly glad it is false. Just how the news
was started was that I went over the
top at the Verdun sector, Oct. Bth,
and on the 10th was in such an ene
i my barrage that 1 was lost from my
J company 'or 3 or 4 days, and was
|-Mated as missing. It was all a mis
i take.
Tell Eddie Thomas’ mother 1 have
j not seen him since I’ve been in
France; also Noble Cannon. I have
been inquiring for them.
• I enjoyed my Christmas fine, and
am doing the same today (New
Year’s) by writing you the answer
you will be glad to receive.
I am sorry I did not tell you this
sponcr, so you would not have been
\jforried. I wrote you a letter a j
couple of days ago, and as news is |
Very scarce with me at present, ex- J
cept for the fact that you can hear
iflrost everyone saying that we are to ■
B&il for the good old U. S, A. in a j
s xort time. Sincerely yours.

I ear Mother and all at home:
j As I am at leisure just now, and
i n sitting here thinking about you
a 1, and how I would like to be home |
dfeain, and especially to spend Xmas. ]
I thought I would write you, as I am
sjpre you are always glad to hear j
fom me. I know lam glad to hear
f om you. but 1 don’t hear very of
t n, yet I suppose it won’t bo this
so very much longer, as I hope
wie will be coming home soon. I
dbn’t know how long it will be, some
sity we are going to leave here soon,
but you can’t tell one thing about
i(- in the army, for you don’t know
day what will happen the next;
we only live in hopes. Some of the
bOys have already been sent home,
and have never seen the front; they
never were near the firing line —now
what do you think of that? As for
myself,! think we ought to have gone
home first, and let them remain over
here a while longer, so they would
have had something to talk about
when they went home; they don’t
even know what war is, but I think I
khow. I have seen active service
since September 28th, and have had
sqme pretty narrow escapes, too. but
I feuppose I was lucky, and the Lord
wp.s with me. I don’t know whether
I told you or not. that Geo. B. Todd,
of Cambridge, was wounded in the j
last battle, but it was not so very
serious. He went to the hospital. He
was the only one over here that I
knew from my home town. I don’t
know where any of the rest of the
boys are, but we have some here in
tMe company from Maryland; one
btddy from Baltimore, and we sleep
t|teether.
made many friend*,since I
h£?e been Tn the army, and as far as
I know I haven’t made any enemies.
I hope not, at any rate; I have al
ways tried to treat everyone right,
and give them due respect as far as
possible; that is the way I was tau
ght at home, and I have found it the
best way, because by doing so I have
received the same treatment by oth
ers, but there are some fellows
around here in the company that are
contrary, and all for themselves, and
always grumbling about everything;
little things that don’t just go their
way, and I can see that they are not
thought as much of by the other fel
lows. I find that if a fellow will fol
low closely the teachings of his good
old Christian mother, he will never
go estray. and will be happier and
will be treated better than if he just
does as he likes, for -he is bound to
make enemies at times, so I am tak
ing a mother’s advise and trying to
follow it the best that I can, for I
think it the only way, and by doing
so I have not a black mark against
me in the army. I have a clear sei
vice record, and want to have an
honorable discharge when Uncle Sam
has finished with my service, but I
am longing for that day to come, so
I can get back and see my dear old
father, mother, sisters and brother,
whom I will be glad to see, and hope
they will be glad to see me.
Well, I will write something else,
as it makes me fed quite homesick
to be talking so much about home,
but I’ll just guess everything is O.
K., and it doesn’t worry me.
Well, mother, I received a letter
from Lura the other day, saying they
had not heard from me. W rite and
tell them that I wrote to them, and
this is the first mail I have received
from them. This letter was dated
Nov. 21, and she said Guy was get
ting alright now; I am glad he is.
We have some of the “flu” over here,
but not very much. Changing the
subject, I received a letter from you,
also one from a friend, about a week
ago, and I surely was glad to hear
from all of you, and glad you were
all well Yes, I would like to hear
Alice sing her little songs; tell her
to practice up, as I am coming home
after a while. Yes, Lonnie is doing
fine to be in the second grade; tell
him to study hard and be a hood lit
tle boy, and mind the teacher, then
he can sleep with i..' when I come
home.
Oh, by the way, I received a little
Xmas card a few days ago from Mr.
and Mrs. Russell P. Smith; what do
you think of that? How did they
