[Extracts from The Bulletin’s files of ’68 follow: April 27, 1868:—Many of the state papers at this time come forward with the names of prominent state men for candidates for Senator.

Mother and Father: Arriv- ed safely®in France and was mighty glad to get here. Our trip was une- ventful. We never sighted a subma- rine. The scenery here is something wonderful, but the town we marched through was about as quaint a place as you could imagine. I saw some German prisoners yesterday and they seemed perfectly contented. What sur- prised me was the way our army feeds our men. You would never think that we were thousands of miles from the 1. S. As long as they feed us that way T will be perfectly contented. The French people certainly did give us a fine welcome. They are a remark- able people—they can laugh and smile after almost four years of this con- flict. I was appointed first class pri- vate bhefore T left the states. The boys. who have been here quite a while seem to be as cheerful and hope- ful as the boys that just arrived. How Jorman and@ Donald?

Thompson, of the 56th Artillery writes the following let- ter, and says the French people were very glad to see them: Somewhere in France, April 15th, 1918. Dear Mcther: While I have a few minutes to spare, will take the pleas- ure to write you a few lines. Well, to start with, we are hav- ing some wet weather, it has rained ev day since we arrived here. It is a wine country and they need lots of rain, There i snow on the moun- tain peaks and-in the valleys the gar- dens are all green, they sure do look fine. Have you started your garden vet? T would like to be there and work it up for you evenings. The women do all the work here, running trolley cars and driving teams. Believe me, they are great workers. The buildings here are all of stone and cement, no wood, some live in caves along the mountains. The most of the people wear wooden clogs. The carts here are just like the ones they have in Ireland, two wheel dump carts, with a small donkey drawing them; the carts will carry ’s much as,a two horse cart in Amerifa. The French were very glad to see us, they think that we are all million- aires and they call us the ‘“Millionaire Americans.” I am one. T have got a big American nickel. Tobacco is hard to get here, once in a while we can buy a package in the Y. M. C.

Dear Friend: Just a few lines to let you know that at the present time, I am in the hospital as result of a gas attack in the trenches. It isn't very serious, only my speech is affected. I haven’t received any letters since I was in the trenches early in March. The package you sent me was dela; ed. T received it while in the trench- es and enjoyed its contents very much. I hope to get better soon and leave this place as it is so lonesome here. I often think of the times I had in the U. S. and wonder if they think of me. We are all waiting for the day when this struggle will come to an end and of course it will some time and then we can- all come. back smiling. Don’t think we will look the same. Perhaps you will not recognize me right away. As we will be differ- ent than the last soldiers you saw. Our walk will be different, we will have a different look and our eyes, ard cur complexion wili be darker than ever; that is the way all soldiers look here th have heen in action.| D They seem different from the .rest.

Moran of this city: Somewhere /in France, April 6th, 1918. Dear Ji Well, I am sure I am away from Terry now and I'll say we did move when we got started. They sure did slip one over on us, as we expected to get here, but not so quick as we did. Everybody is better sat- isfied, though its better than hanging around an embarking camp a couple of weeks. For my part I'd just as soon keep going right into Berlin, but I don’t think you can do it just now without a makeup. We had a fine trip W over and the weather was great and I guess the subs knew that Battery B was on board because. they didn’t show up at all. You ought to see this gang, Jim, you would think they were going to a German picnic instead of to fight. The crew said we were all nuts and it was the greatest bunch they ever took over. Most of them are pretty well scared but all this gang worried about was eats and sleeps. = This is a great country as far as T have seen, but I suppose I will see all T want of it before I get through. It is fine weather and the grass is ‘green that looks better than snow and its a pretty country. ‘We are at a rest camp (get that rest) for a few days, but- where we g0 from here I don't know. You are not supposed to know anything over here and write less as you will have Mr. John Censor cn your neck. I'll tell you ore thing, Jim, a fellow that can’t get an anchor hold on this jibber they talk over here is out of luck. I don’t think the Irish in me will ever let me shoot that stuff, or I am too thick. They will give you an awful deal on the money, too, but I haven't any so that don't worry me. Well. I think I will close now as its about 2.20 o'clock I guess. You got to be a law- yer or a burglar to figure out the time here. Remember me to all the boys and tell them T an still in the ring and going good. Yours as ever. 3 JIGGS.
