.Sna«»h<r« in Franca,,
Ovar noanlMn on the mI|« of
Franca in a raat ramp, enjoying Ufa
to the limit I am wandering this beau
tiful morning bow all the dear ones
are at the goad old home se far away.
Wall t simpact bafora I format it all
1 had hatter tall yob something of my
trip. S<> rang aa I atayed at Camp
Jacluton I hod nothing to say, noting
to tall only that I waa wall. But
ainre laaving there 1 have aaan many
thinga of intareat to ma. First wa
landed in England. I found it far
ahead of our country In capacity for
ahipping freight etc. Many curious
things were noticed—no aatoa, train
cara about 10 ft. lang. horaea worked
one ahead of another driver always
leada never rides on the wagon, rrnase
of the draying done by lcrga ofcm
trucks and burn wood or eoal gasoline
3 to S dollars par gallon, roads every,
perfect, and papa I wuh you
could see the farming, there are not
ax many weeks growing in all tha
intry I saw aa there ia on a small
farm in America. And we haven t
one foot aa well and completely devel
oped aa the* average farm. Wheat,
potatoes, cabbage vetch and bay of alt
kinda grew rank. Not a frame house
to bt aaan, all stone, concrete and
brick. Net a bit of vacant land, I
don't guess there ia aa much woad
land on the railroad from Liverpool
to the middle of England aa you have,
and of the cleared space I don't think
I saw enough vacant land to lav a
fence worm around on* acre. Just
think of it, every foot of it in use.
We croeaed several riven, some of
them had beea too wide to suit the
people, they simply built walla of
atone, confined the water and used
the apace where it was. I have teen
aa many thinga 1 cant tall K all.
"The ocean ia nature, Eagiand ia a
demonstration of ronpleted develop
ment as far aa man can do. Every
farm and Held aurroanded by huge
atone fencea. Oh, it ia a wonderful
world. 1 just think God'a in every
ept Kaiser Bill, and well
■ <d the ring.
of transportation, etc., for inatance
the hotel where I am stationed what
we would term the lobby or front hap
pens to be according to custom here
a dairy, tha back of hotel, livery sta
ble. But I am fond of goats milk and
am rwring fat. The wagon* differ
from oura, wheels about 6 feet high,
hugs 2 feet in diameter, they have
Bo hern ess, simply a big riny on
hame, run shaft through stick in pin
in end, but they gat there with the
load. As for this war it teams that
the people of America know nothing
•imply nothing of the aacrifice of this
struggle. Hare they have sacrificed
their homes, thousands r.ad thousands
ef them, sacrificed every thing to aid
•t the front. Every body works,
women and alt. Women do every
kind and all kinds of work. The pret
tiest girl I have seen yet was driving
an ambulance truck to an army hos
pital. The people have welcomed us
all through England and thus far in
France.
There are many things yet untold
the fact of H is I can sec much beau
ty ia this world. So much to be
nroud of. Even now here comes a
beautiful child whose papa is at the
front. She comes to kiss me spying
in French good night good Ameriki
officer. It all goes to make me ex
ceedingly thankful I'm where I am.
You see now why I cay I am aa
content aa can be. It is not that I
have forgotten you. Of courae I
have seen many thingsl never would
have seen at home, but that's not all,
it U doing the duty which my country
has assigned me that so enthusiasti
cally prompts me to press on. Why
trouble about where I spend my day.
Furthermore I feel the stronjj arm of
protection of an Almighty God same
here as in America.

One thing is sure, there wiH be
peace before much longer as wc have
the Hun on the run and are g.lining
nil the time, and I think before very
long well have this job finished and
be coning hone. We had a pretty
hot time while up at the front. But
we let the Germans know what we
came over here t*r and when we fll
rm to put up their hands they lose
no time in getting them up.
It is great fun to go in a German
dugout aa wa advance and see wher«>

Oct. H, 1918.
Dear Sister:
I am quite well and oat on a very
much needed rest as I ha vent bad any
rest since Sept. 24th and have been
over the top Ave time* in this period.
I have been over »ix time* in all.
And have hid many • cloce call, as
1 haven't had the chance to write you
or my friends any thing of interest.
I will writ* just a few of my encoun
ters and you can hand it to The.
News if they would care to print it.
Well in my first visit to the front I
bad beard that all the Germans had
fine watches so I decided I would get
one, so the order came to go over the
top, I went over loaded for bears with
200 rounds of rifts ammunition and a
bag fall of grenades. Well the fun
began and 1 began picking off the
boihes, as I happened to be a good
marksman every one I saw I counted
him mine. I got two for sure and
1 don't know how many more, but the
fight was soon over and 1 began look
ing for my watches, but they were
not so plentiful as 1 had expec'.ed, so
the time soon came for anoUMr drive.
I cant mention any places or dates
for military reasons, well the hour
| rtme for the biggest drive yet and
{artillery began, the whole world
•c.'med to be on lire and over we went. |
We were soon among the boches, in
my Platoon there wan one Lieut, and 1
two Sergeantr. besides myself, three
in'all, five corporals and 41 men, so |
we had gone but a little ways before
two Sergeants were knocked off. one ;
of them being my best friend, Ser- :
treant Jesse Jones of Mount Airy.
Well the Lieutenant and 1 were toge- {
ther and a shell fell juut to our left
snd wounded him, so that left me in |
charge and I stopped long enough to
get the maps and valuable papers off
of the Lieut, and moved forward, the
smoke was so thick it was dark as
night but I led the way by the *id ]
of a compass and map'from one]
trench to another. We went at one ,
place. I had gotten iust a bit in front
and came to a big dug out and called
Tome out," and the Huns began com-!
ing out in a drove. Well I didn't have |
any men to spare to send back with {
them, so I disarmed them and mo
tioned them to the rear and they wen
glad to go. So we moved onward, I |
reached my objective with five of my
men, two of them being wounded. '
But our support soon same up and we 1
moved ahead.
Well I went to the place where the
Germans cremate their dead.- They
had a big boiler full of dead, ready I
cut up, and a great pile of dead lay-!
ing there ready. Don't let this get
on your nerves, but it is true, for I
I saw it, and hundreds of others were
I present. Well I vrill turn to a bright
i page. The day soon came for the next
drive and as usual we went forward
, taking every thing as we came to it.
In the evening we came near a large
town that was just to our right and
an order came down from the Captain
for my LieoL to send out a patrol to
this town to see if it was occupied by
Ithe German*. So it was Sergt. l^ewis
to take eight men and go over In
that town which was larger than
Mount Airy. Holy onoke, 1 thought

Nov., «, 1918.
Dear Friend:
I received your letters and was in- i
teed glad to hear from you. Since I
heard from yea last we have had
some experience in war. We had one.
of the greatest battles that has ever i
takert place in Europe. We broke the
Hindenburg line where it was thought j
by the Germans it could not be brok
en, but it could not stand before us 1
boys as we went through it like
and captured several thousand pris
oners. I am glad to say I was in it.
L went throught without even a
scratch. But there were a rood many
of the boys wounded and some of |
them killed. You can leave it to the I
North Carolina boys to do their bit.
I don't think it is going to be very
lone until this war is all over and we I
will go sailing across the sea home I
again. You must excuse me for such |
a short letter as we are preparing to j
go to another place.
Letter from J. G. Burgess to his '
father. Mr. W. D. Burgess, of Mount
Airy.
A. E. F. France, Oct. 27. \
Dear Papa:
Will now write a few words and re- j
late some of the most interesting ex- j
perience that the buys from Mount
Airy have had in heiping to drive the
Huns from the wonderful Hinden- ,
burg line on September 29 last, which '
was very exciting.
It was very cloudy on the morn
ing of Sept. 29 when the boys started
out after the Huns and they all wore
a smile on their fares at the thought j
of having a real chance at the Huns. I
When they were seen coming with I
that expression on their faces that
is only worn by the American soldiers I
and which the Huns are already very
well acquainted with it made the
blood in the veins of those Germans
run cold at the thoughts of having to
try nnd defend their strongest de
fense against the attack of the Amer
ican Soldiers. The American Soldiers
being so eager to make History for
themselves they went on to their ob
jective and when the Australians took]
up the chase where the Aifcericans!
stopped there were a large number :
of tnem that did not even stop but
continued, to take ground from the
enemy and when the Anal halt was
called and a check was made there
were some three hundred Americans
that were lost, their officers knew
they wore not captured or killed but
just loot. A search was begun and
one Officer met a crowd bringing in
an A not nan who wes wounded and
upon aaking him the question. Have
you soon any Americans ha replied
that he had and that they would nave
to wait until the Austrians came as
th* last time he saw the Yanks they
ware going after tie enemy like the

tion» for yaar» to our «hor»«; to
whom w» give equal rirbts with our '

'upon it and to gain such information
' a* enabled the Prussian war lorthi to
inflict not punishment hat damage
and injury upon the land that had re

Mr. Lloyd George said the interests 1
of security and fair play demande<i
that it should he made perfectly rlaar '
that the people who acted in this way
me-ited punishment for the damage
ttrey had Inflicted.
The second quertion eras the ques
tion of imiemnities, the premier add
ed. In every court of justice through
out the world the party which lost
has had to hear the cost rf the 'itiga
tion. When Germany defeated France
she established the principle, and
there was ao doubt that the principle |
was the right one. Germany must1
pay the cost of the war op to the lim
it of her capacity.
"Bat I must use one word of warn
ing,* said Mr. Lloyd Geonre. "We
have to consider the question of Ger
many's capacity. Whatever happens
Germany is not to be allowed to pay
the indemnity by damping cheap
dyoa ua. ThatJa the oaljr
not be all owed to pay for her
wanton damare ami devastation by
dumping cheap goods and wrecking
our industries.
"There is a third and last point. Is
no one to be made responsible for the
war? Somebody has been responsible
for a war that has taken the lives of,
millions of the best young men of
Europe. Is not anyone to be made
responsible for that ? If not, all I can
say is that if that is the case, there
is one justice for the poor wretched
criar.nal and another for kings and i
emperors."
Mr. Lloyd George declared that
there were two offenses against the
hrw of nations that had been com
mitted.
"One" he said "is the crime against
humanity in the deliberate plotting of
the great war. "Hie other is the out
rage upon international taw. It is a
crime, a brutal crime, to devastate the
lands of another. Whoever did that
ought to be responsible for it.
Ine >uD«»nn« wan*re nia noi
mean only the sinking of ships but it
was a crime against humanity in that
it sank thousands of harmless mer-|
chantmen. In th« whole history of
wrfnre between nations that had i
never been sanctioned. It is rank pi
racy and the pirates must receive the 1
punishment.
"I mean to see that the men who
did not treat our prisoners with hu
manity are to be made responsible. I,
want this country to go to court with
a clean conscience, and fh» will do
to. There ii ,not a stain on her rec
ord. Will not be afraid to appear
before any tribunal.
"Now, these are the things which
we hav# to investigate. We mru that
the investigation shall be an impartial
one. a perfectly fair one. We alto J
mean Aat it shall be a stern one.;
and that it shall go on to the Anal
reckoning.
"We have got to to art now that j
man in the future who feel tempted to
follow the example of the rulers who
plunged the wt,rtd into this war will {
know what U awaiting them at the
the end of K. We shall have to tee
that this terrible war, which has in
flicted so much destruction on the
world; which has arrested the course
of civiliaation and in many ways pot

minds, upon the physique and the
hearts of myriads in many lands that
