Oae day they sent for me to come back to Division to defend a man in a court martial trial, and the Germans saw the car come from. the well screened road into where was in the cellar of a farmhouse to phone for an ambulance and just before I had left the car another hit about thirty feet away, and when I got in the cellar another hit near, but as it happened my line to the dressing station was still in and waa- the only line I had. I got the med all off for the hospital and got my lines up and phoned them and they sent another car and I went in. My man was convicted, but only got six months restrictions to camp. That night Grady Thomas of Bry- son City brpught me back in a mo torcycle side car. We got through a line, but the bodies were throwing shrapnel all over the road. I made Grady stay till daylight, as it was as dark as pitch. Nex morning he went back to Division and we came out of the line in about a week and went for a few days rest near Arras when suddenly we came to this front, and after breaking the Hind enburg line and advancing about 20 miles we came out about two weeks ago and are still out. Now the war is over I guess we will come home, sometime within a year, and then I am done. When we went through the Hin denburg line I was with the infantry and arnstilLftdth them. It was awful but some of us still live. Beat has been back all the time, except one battle. At that time he was under my command, and you have no idea how uneasy ! was when he' was out of my sight and how glad I was when I would see him again. He was my brother and in my company but he did just the same as the others.! showed no preference. But when ..w caeut htajt the captain'took him back with him and kept him through the other battles. I did not know why uutil the other day the captain told me he could not stand to see us both at the front, so he took him Beat and I were talking the other day and we decided it was the pray ers of our go )i mDLhers and grand mas and grandpas that saved us. So now wi know we will come back home some day. The homes here now are beginning to look homelike already, The people are moving back and are vary happy and thankful to Amer ica and all for peace. The French all love America and her people, I have not been to church since I left America. There were not any except Catholic and French. So I knew! could not understand either one, but I prayed when I got the time and did the best I could. The people back home do not know how it is over here, but they certainly have been loyal to the cause;but I believe thatmost French people have h3d mDre to eat than we had in America during the war. We captured Several big towns with as many as 1, 000 people in it; They were poor, of course, as the Germans had the towns four years, but not as bad as you would think. The Qermans were cruel, but they let aomeof them live. I can speak French some and spoke with lots of them. They said that some German soldiers were good to them and some were mean I must close and go to bed. We are drilling now just like we did in the States, you can put this letter in the Times if you want to because it's the longest letter have written since I came x over here, because up, to now I was afraid I would give out some military infor- Imation, but the Germans are whip- THOMAS SETTLE DIES SUDDENLY ; Thomas Settle prominenMn law and politics in North Carolhaa for thirty years past, died stdenly last night at 8 o'clock at; the j Missioa v hospital just whei&JhyipaBi:U and friends had beriJicon--Sdeat of his i!ii$tL attack of pneumonia. , At 6 t'cloek f Mr. Settle was chatting and laugt r ing with friends who had called to see him.
