Cobb of C sper, who is just now helping to make it hot for the Heinies in a sector which he describes as quiet, despite the fact that a recent, Fo... ditt Se a1. % Hams For Sale We have for sale 500 head of letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Cobb, was written to faba" ot Sorel head id the tune of screeching shells hurled across No Man’s Land. For every two shells the Boche fires the Yan- kees return three, and judging from the reputation for accuracy gained by American gunners in France the Hun is receiving the worst of ‘it on this section of the front as well as the more active regions. Since the date of Lieutenant Cobb’s writing, just a month ago to- day, the Allied offensive has de- veloped over a wide region ‘not pre- viously’ embraced in the fighting zone, and it is possible that the bat. tery of which the Casper officer is in command has played a more con- spicious part than that noted in the letter. Casper friends of Lieutenant Cobb experienced no small sense of pride in his ability when he won his com mission as an officer of artillery anc they will be no less interested in the following letter to members of the family here: Sunday, Aug. 11, 1918. “Dearest Folks: “It. has been some time since ] wrote but I’ve been the busiest per- son on earth since then, it seems to me. We have taken up our position on the front, for a time at least, and have been ‘lobbing them over’ to the Huns right regularly. Between times we have to dig our gunpits, shelters and camouflage ourselves, so the flyers can’t find us. It’s great sport ‘but lots of work. I’m executive offi- cer of the battery now and have com- plete command of the firing battery. Our first week in position I was at the observation post and fired the first rounds atthe Boche, only a few hundred meters away. We're having the first shell-case engraved now. “We're in a beautiful part of France, but I haven’t seen the order allowing us to tell the place. We're not at Chateau Thierry, where big \things are going on. I never saw such rain and mud as this, and they say it. hasn’t rained any’ Yet. I’m beginning to think the mud and the gas are the worst things about this war. The far-famed ‘cootie’ hasn’t bothered me yet, but baths are very. hard to get. “Graham, Burns, Kelly and I are the only officers now with the bat- tery. James and Cole are at the echelou, four and a half miles back, with all but 80 men, just enough to serve the guns properly, and keep the position policed. Of the four officers, Graham is battalion com- mander and spends nearly all his time at the echelou; Burns is at the ob- servation post watching for targets, and Kelly is walking or riding his telephone lines all the time. I seldom have any ther officer here with me, and as most of our firing is at night, we sleep late in'the mornings. It gets pretty lonesome till the Boche begin to let us know they’re still there. About all we ever see of them is their planes and their shells. It’s usually quiet, tho, and the separation from home is the worst part. “T hear them (the Boche) sending a few over on the right of us now. It’s one and a half to one. with us, that is, we give them one and a half times.as many as they give us, so some of our batteries will open up pretty soon, | “Write often, please, because it’s | good to hear from home. All love to you three, Billy.” * ieee WYOMING BOYS PUT PEP INTO FREMONT CAMP, E<eSOcIETY | Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid M ets Thursday Afternoon At the home of Mrs. J. F.
