In the words of a pOet "These Princesses or lords may flourish or man fade, n breath can make them as a breath has made. But our bold true American girls if once destroyed can never be supplied." The French women have been more than kind to th(? American soldierr. We have, been billeted at various homes, and always the best in the house wa* ours.

And yet between th? lines j of her talk there is something like a faith amounting to a certain con vie- 1 tion that God bring Justice to France. They seem to feel that as though it ^rere a promise carved on ? stone and for that they cheerfully toil and wait.

We have been/doing some hard training for thvAast month, however we have not b?en in any battle. We were in forty-eight hours of the western front /itching for the hour to come for us t'j 01 v'isT.re on flu* Uoche. when ti?e armis tice was signed. We are now located in Eastern Franco, not very far from the Switzer land border. I am bound to say i;m glad the world's greatest war has some an end, however I did want to gn thrrmcht one battle for aftu.il i.v. perience, but 1 guess it was .best that I didn't for it is true tnat .ill of us wouldn't have been lucky enough to get through. 1 guess you want to know next when we are coming home, of couLae^hai. is something we can't tell now, fieveV-" - ?ro all ace_inoluii? forward for a joyful voyage back to America, and r trope-It wtlt fre-tn time-for me- to make a crop. It would be a curiosity for you to see this little village we are now .sta tioned in. if I was to say it ?was the first to be built after the flood don't think I would miss it far. There is hut v-ry few young people here, which mak<? very hhnr on the ?hl ones. I* is nothing to see an old woman eighty or a hundred years old, with a bag of clothes jo wash for some soldier The only r> al live Jfrave found here are "co:>tles." two of us trying to sleep together. bur one of us have to Heep a tthe jim- while tiie oth er ftf;ht< the coo*:es away from him. Guess you haw heard the song about "Tlu re is no pl.ice like Daddy's House." I am bound to say that was a truthful man composed that song. It may be of some interest to you to know the name of our. Division, which I don't think I have mentioned before. It is the "Stone-Wall Division." known most everywhere as "Wild Cats." we got the name wild cat from our am bition. All the artillery boys wear a red cat on his left sleeve. The infan try boys wear 4>lue ones-Instead. I must stop, much love to all. I ro main as*over Your devoted son. R. J.

There is no use for mo to try to toll you how glad I was to hoar from you. Wo are Mill located In eastern France, but I don't think we will be here many more days. I am noL sure Vut I think we are going up on the German border to spend tho winter. I hear that everybody In the State? ire go<ng to celebrate toworrow, (Thanksgiving) In honor of the great victory. Would like very much to be there to celebrate with you, but guess you all will do enough. I think we are supposed to have holiday tomorrow, but I doubt If we got It, In fact I'm sure I wont, /or I'm acting Regimental color Sergeant, and have all the Regiment prisoners in charge, and you know they don't got much rest. And we have so many now, it takes me about all my time t" find something for them to do. Was awful sorry to hear about Flna having pneumonia, certainly hope she is over it by this time. I thought there must be something wrong with her 1 haven' heard from her in an age. Yes, I am still in the artillery also with the boys I came over with. Hall and I r.re rooming together, he is Just as Jolly as ever. We haven't got many' liorscs ou account of scarcity of hor ses over here. We have to pull our guns by hand most of the time. We pulled them about three miles a few day* ag*>. It looked impossible while in the States, but it goes easy over here. ? ? ? I'm glad to hear that you all are ' getting on with the crop fine, hope I will be there to help you next year which if nothing happens I think I will. Tell, Pa. and Davis, to have plenty of tobacco plants it may ue late in the spring when I get in. Will close, write as often as you can. Much love to all. Lovingly, JAKE. November 27, 1918.
