A Croom, under date of November l, as rollows: "I have, wanted to write you ever eince leaving Wilmington but we have been- constantly- on the go, therefore, I have not had much chance for writ ing. , Well, Old Top, I've seen lots of interesting things and I am glad I came over with the boys for it is an experience I can alwavs look hark upon with much pleasure. Our boys hate gotten 'Old Fritz' in a helluva a MieSSj and the old fool will soon cry lor mercy, even as Turkey and Aus tria are now doing. You would laugh if you could see me n$w, squatting down on the floor of my dugout writ ing Dy tne light of a candle.- My home was built by Germans, so I find much pleasure in enjoying comforts which they prepared for themselves. Have seen some wonderful cement trenches and dugouts, some with bathtubs and running water, electric lights and telephones. ' However, our big guns soon made it too , warm for our friends (?) who like beer and saner kraut and they moved out. Saw a large number of prisoners of war to day and there were many 16 and 17-year-old boys among them. I really believe they were glad to be captured poor dogs. After all, they are to be pitied. If they only had the-backbone to revolt against their war lords, the world would have been at peace to day. Instead, Uncle Sam and .his al- ttieB win rorce peace and real soon at that. Would l,ike to write more but mis is ail the paper I have so I must ing off. Remem'ber me to your fam ily and all my friends and write me long letter real aoon and tell me all the news."
