(FROM JOSEPIT B. BUSCH.) Dear Sir: Enclosed find interesting letter writ- ten by Sergt. Clem W, Busch, Co. G, 364 Infantry, now in France, brother of. Joseph B. Busch, ensign in V. S. S. Reinlile Destroyer. Both boys were residents of Bismarck, sons of Mr. C. J. Busch. MANSUR DRUG CO., St. Paul, Minn, Sunday, 12 a. m. Somewhere in France, October 6, 1918. 0. K.J—M. Keeler, Capt. Dear Clara: Just a few lines after the battle, that is after our part in that battle, for a while. Heinie sent a shell too close to me and the concussion knock- ed me out. Am now at a base hos- pital, not hurt or wounded, my under! German artillery got strong and he! arms. ping are on the bum, rheumatism I guess. This lying out in shell holes and ditches filled with water proved too much for my legs. Now a little about “over the top. Our part of going over consisted of first a night of watchful waiting on the side of the line opposite Heinie's trenches. At 2 a. m. our artillery started a terrific barrage on Heinie’s outfits. At 5:30 we got the word to get up and go. We did when we hit the top of the hill and started on the} down grade. We met a combination of everything. Shells of all kinds were plowing through and around us. The smoke and mist was so thick one could not see ten feet in eith direction. We had to cut our wa; through barbed wire and shrubbery Finally we reached a small creek and crossed on to the land the Heinies had held for four years. Fritz wai now on the move rearwards as fast as he could go. He left a few ma- chine guns and sniper’s nests to hold us but it could not be done. We were now in a heavy timber where the go- ing was hard. It wasn’t long before we reached an open field and could see the Heinies making great time over the hills. Fritz did not was busy moying his guns out of the way. Guess we must have made about ten kilometers (5-8 of a mile to a kilometer). The following day Heinie had stiffened his resistance with machine gun nests and snipers. They were so well camouflaged and) so thick that we could not advance much without a terrible loss of life,; so we waited for our artillery to put ARR \OLLARS Ea Vad PEARORY 4.5 we MAKEr have} much’ artillery play on us. Then he! {him on the run. When the bullets and shells are flying around like a nest of bees one can hardly pick up where the location of the guns are. |The Heinies had them in shell holes, ‘ditches, clumps of trees and in the They would stick there till the | first, second and third | passed and then pick out our men at |random, made it hard work to locate {them. The first Fritz 1 put under ‘the weather was a sniper and I got la few souvenirs off him, but lost them | when I got knocked out. Somebody {thought I had kicked the bucket Ij Anyway my watch disappeared We were pushing Fritz back steady. He would hold us up \for a couple hours every once in a | while but our artillery would soon {put him to rout. About this time the | guess. j also. | fairly {was busting gas and high explosive | shells among us, that counted for a ew of our losses. Those old shells ure make the boys jump. We would and ditches, anything to get us out of the way of shrapnel, mean stuff ‘and it tears one tao pieces. That is | the stuff that got the best of our pla toon, Don’t just know how many we lost, but it was considerable. Some outfits were better off that way. The | ground we were fighting on was a | natural:defensive one and the Heinies were making the most of it. But the Yanks were taking to it like ducks ; to the water. The Germans had some | varians. They were good fighters too, {but had to give way before a supe- j rior ene the U.S. One cannot picture the area nor the | scene of a battle like this. Can’t be- ; gin to get a large enough view of it. {Germany is about on her last legs. | She can’t spare men to man the front } Where all these drives are now tak- | ing place, nor is their railroads as capable of work as they were two years ago. Rumors came in_ today ; that Germany, Austria and Turkey have asked for an armistice to talk | peace on Wilson's terms. I don’t know | whether we will pay any attention to | that because it may be a fake and the ;Germans might figure on moving troops to the front during that time, so if Wilson does give them an arm- \istice it will only be after our forces to go forward without any opposition. |Gekmany has not many more tricks she can play on us. They are all old {if she still figures on the play. It is | just like a chicker board with her ‘and her troops. It is her move’ and she has her few checkers in a bum hole and watts time to move them \into a good position. | Don’t know how I ever came out of them ‘with a solid person. Maybe my ; brain is on the bum, but I guess it always was. If my legs would stay up I. would be o. k.

Jams, jetiies, bread, canned meat, cigars and cigarettes. Mostly Yankee stuff to that they evidently had gotten through Norway,. Sweden or Holland. They left a meal of fried rabbit just at the moment of eating. We: enjoyed ourselves to the limit but did not have time to tarry long. From what”some of the prisoners say that they have had no coffee for four years, Guess the officers had all of it. The German officers are sure the they won't have a thing to do with ;their men more than order them about. They are well dressed, warm, but the men we killed or captured were in a lot of cases very young or. very old. The kaiser has sprinkled a few good soldiers in amongst a lot of bum ones to try and put their mor- ale up, but. it is rapidly fading and if the ullies and the U. S. can keep the big push up to the limit till the weath- ler stops them, I think the kaiser will jcry quits and the men lay down their So good for this serial. My (hand is tired so I will close with lots of love and kisses. Use the same jaddress as before in writing. Be good. Yours still. CLEM. | FROM HARRY CHRISTEN, | Waddington Lines, Oct. 21, 1918. ; Mr. John C. Oberg, Bismarck, No. Dak. Dear Jack: I received your very kind and in- | teresting letter recently and am quite sure hardly anything could have af- forded me any greater pleasure. We are having rather cool and | somewhat disagreeable weather here, er} of their best men on this front, Ba-|as we are being blessed with inces- sant rain and mud. You know how | pleasant that i sfor one that is out in the midst of it. ness is' very good in your line, as that speaks well enough for No. Dak. as I first heard that the crops were a total ! failure. You can’t keep a good state down. I received word that Klett, (Swift | & Co. salesman) is over here in Eng- {land in the marines. I sure would | like to meet him. He has the ol pep for the marines are sure there. The damn old Huns have knocked [off a few of our boys and crippled jsome for life. But we are going to get revenge and believe me, Jack, it sure will be sweet. They are just as yellow as they can be. Now that they are getting a little of their own medi- cine, they want peace. Believe me, they are retreating as fast as their legs can carry them. I had planned on a little trip‘to London, but didn’t succeed in getting thé necessary pass, }8o will remain here. J plan on going to Scotland for my seven day rest Jeave, which I'll be entitled to, in an- other month. I trust these few lines will: find you in the hest of, health, also enjoy- ing a continued success fin your busi- ness is my best wish for you, I am . Very sincerely yours, HARRY.
