THE
LETTER FROM GERMANY
December 23, 1918.
Bear mother:
1 am just in receipt of a letter -from
yen dated Oct. 12, 1918, which I was
vry thankful to receive, also receiv
ed two others from different parties
wach is the first mil I have received
fei over two months, the last letter
received from you was dated August
17. The last letter I received from
the states wa? from Stella which was
Med Sept. 21 and I received it about
the middle of OctoBer. I am not s".r
psised in not receiving any mail for
a long time for I have certainly been
the move for the past 60 days.
I was sent from school to this divis
ion Nov. 1st. They were at the front
and it took me a few days to locate
tkem. 1 found them just a few days
before the armistice was signed. 1 was
near enough at the last to get a thrill
o what the front was. But then
came off and commenced to prepare
to enter Germany. We left Auddilly,
Fiance, a small town behind the linen
oa Nov. 20 and have been on a con
tinuous hike ever since or rather un
til .one week ago today.
I am located at Bmmm, Germany, a
small town on the Mozelle river, about
20 miles from where it empties into the
Rkine river at Coblenz, Germany. This
town is completely surrounded by
muontains, which extend nearly to the
river bank on both sides with only
enough room in most places for a food
bread highway. The town being built
oa the mountain side. In this section
the principal occupation of the people
is grape growing. The entire moun
tain sides is covered with vineyards.
The grapes of course are used to make
viae.
On our march here we passed
through Alsace-Lorraine, Luxemburg
and a good portion oi western uer-
many. 1 have seen some cxceeaingiy
fine country and interesting places.
The scene in the valley of the Mo
zelle the river we are o:: is simply
grand. I am with one of the armies
of occupation, there is only one battlion
tort, the balanc3 of the division is
located in different town nearby- I
do not know jiist how lonj we will be
here but expect from -3 to 6 months
ift air probability.
Tkcre came out
from r the wa-departrhent
TtMm,.U'H officer-,
tkev nref erred "To eta,
roaerre corps, or immediate' aepera-1
tinm - M answer was the latter, not
that I am tired of the amy, but if
Uncle Sam no longer needs my aer
yioe I am willing to give away to the
one who wishes to stay in.
I have not seen but one newspaper in
a month, so you can imagine about
how much I know of what is going on
in the country at present. We are
hoping that the papers will soon De
started out way, and also that wc aie
now located that our mail will com
mence coming regular.
We are now very well located. An
other lieutenant and I have a suite of
rooms we use one for o; r bed room
ai.d the other for our loun.?in room In
which we have a good stove, there be
ing mo each thing as steam heat. Both
ottKers and men arc billeted in homes
of ,he people. The meaning of billet
rf in that of furnishing accommoda
tion and shelter, sometimes bad and
then good. But I am thankful to say
we are well billeted here. Majority ot
the men are furnished with stoves, so
a.-: to hare fire which makes it nice.
Ho doubt you wonder why I have
not written since Thanksgiving. We
have been on the hike every day since
most impossible to write, Since ar
moet impossible to- write. iSnce ar
riufasg here I have . boon waiting to
hoar from you before writing.
No doubt you will be interested to
knew how conditions are over here.
Certain kinds of food is very scarce,
for instance, cereals and fat of all
IJsds and bread, the bread is very
dark and taste sour. Meat is very
scarce. gg nd butter are tremen
dous prices, as I wrote before eggs
are about (2.60 per dozen, butter $2.00
per pound. About the enly plentiful
thing is potatoes, milk and wine. You
seldtfm ever see a horse. Most-all of
the vehicles are drawn by milch cows,
also the plowing etc, is done with
milch cews.
I started in tonight to lean-. Gor
man and I hope to be able to soon
' speak enough German to get around.
I don't believe it will be hard to learn
as I have pjeked up quite a few words
already.
Well day after tomorrow will be
Christmas day and 1 was tonight no
tified that I would be the officer of the
guard for the day which keeps me
fi om having a holiday, it also reminds
mo that Christmas a year ago I did
lAiard duty. I hope by this time you
have received all of my letters, and 1
hope in a few days to receive some
more letters also the newspapers, es
pecially The Courier. I believe I told
you In rny last tetter about Seeing
Rosa Huffln, Stella's husband on our
way out of the frmt. I have r.ot since
then seen him nor heard from him. As
the hour is getting late I will havo to
close. I hope this letter will soon
. reach 'you and find all in the beat of
health. This leaves me well and in
.' the very best of spirits. Of course
this will not reach you before the hol
. idays are ever but I wish for you all a
merry Christmas and ahpyv New Year.

thickly settled country. Owing to the
large populat.on and is well develop-
ed and has many beautiful homes,
rock fences, tunnels etc
While staying in Folkstone a few
days we could hear the roar of the
big cannon and began to realize th.s
seriousness of war. From herc we
went on a boat across the Channel to
Cala, France. Here we saw the fim
strongly fortified town and large can-
nons. The Germans were trying to
Uke this town in order to get control
of the Channel.
Here was our first experience in
hearing and seeing the air rairic.
After resting here a few days we hik
ed over to Jook'.rk, France. Here we
took training with the English in their
method of warfsre behind the lines.
From here we hiked into Belgium.1
Along tne way we saw where the Ger-
mans had destroyed many cities and,
towns, ana everytning looked very
desolate. ft
The Belgians had been pushed bar!:
so they were living ln small huts and
wagons and were prepared to mo p
again at any time. Their methods of
living are quiet different from oura.
They use very large dogs to pull thoir
certs about.
We were now stationed in Belgium,
behind the lines, and giadually went
up to thc front line. In our first ex
perience In the front lines we stayed
four days and then were relieved and
went back. We were in continual shell
fire but no infantry attacks.
The trenches were not very deep
here on account of being near the
coast.
I tell you it is some experience to
be In the front lines, not knowing how
soon you will he called on to fro over
the top or how soon the enemy may
come over. The enmy gained o sev
eral timoe but w had no lSftes on
coont of that. We were always reri'lv

Farmer Note
Farmer high school has closed for
the year. Influenza is the reason for
this action on the part of the patrons
of the school. The work during the
fall term was internmted hv the eni-
demic, and it seemed improbable that
me spring term could be one of con
tinuous work. Several canes of influ
enza have occurred in the district, and
lest the disease should become general
it was thought best for the school to
close. Miss lhomson, the principal,
will return to her home in Wilmington
this week. The other teachers, Mrs.
Lewis, Miss Dorsett, and Mr. Homey
no iu me community.
Mr. van Cranford :ias returned
home from Fort McPherson, Ga., and
Mr. Whit Elliott from Admiral, Md.,
where they have been in camp. Both
have been discharged.
A fine mule recently bought by Mr.
R. W. Fuller from Messrs. York and

"Dear Mamma:
"I keep writing letters, but can't
seem to hear from anybody either
here or i .1 t!:e Slates. I suppose 1
will get all my mail in a hunch
some day. I got back to Paris Mon
day anu have been as cross as a
bear ever since, though I suppose I
am the most ungrateful creature on
earth. They wired me twice to
come back and when I got here I
found they wanted to send me to
the Peace Commission, which, need
less to say, is quite an honor. It
seems they made a request 'of the
Red Cross to loan them about a
dozen secretaries, and I was one
of the ones selected. They are not
quite ready for me yet and in the
meantime I am to do some canteen
work at one of the railroad stations
for the Christmas holidays.
Having a Good Time.
"I was having such a good time in
the field I hated to come back to
Paris. My friend who went to Aix
with me was at Nancy and I went
up Saturday to see her. That even
ing two army officers came over
from Toul to see us and took us to
dinner at the best restaurant in
Nancy. They had an army car and
the next morning we left about 7
o'clock and went clear to the front
along the very front line which had
been occupied by the Germans. We
went through numbers of ruined vil
lages and reached Verdun about
noon, had lunch with some Ameri

who had not been up there and seen
it can have any idea of the absolute
ruin and devastation. After we got
15 or 20 miles from Nancy we
didn't see any signs of life except
American soldiers, who were still
around in small numbers -lots of
them living in among the ruins Of
the houses. They are taking down

rolling up the barbed wire, taking
