We are having poor weather just now, but I am in very good health. I have re- ceived mail from you all, but haven't had much of a chancé to answer. I suppose evervthing is very good at home, and sincerely. hope it is,.and happy will be the day when I can see | it again. ‘Ma, T never knew what love for'a country meant until I got to see Europe. It is sure far, far behind our own ‘count: and now I sure realize what our country means to us and why they call it “Gods country” T is more beautiful in all ways and fa more ahead in most every way except with war materials, I think. Well, mother, dear, I must say good | night and God bless you all. Love to U and ‘the f: v ‘and friends. Iam your. own loving boy, . JOHNNIE KBNDALL. Mothers’ Day in France. Mrs. Fred Durr of Yantic has re- ceived the following letter from- her son Henry: Mothers’ Day in France. ; May 12th, 1918. Dear Ma: = Well, I will write a few lines to let vou know I received the box you sent me, and I thank you all ver¥ much. I am getting quite a few letters now. We are in a good place now to get mail. Well, how is everybody? 1 suppose you. are all home tonight; at least, I hope: so. - . Well, today is Sunday, and.I did not get a chance to go to church. I hope T will next Sunday. I suppose you are about through with your spring work, -1 mean housecleaning and like that.” I wonder if you received my picture T sent you and how many; I think I sent you four,-if T remember right. Well, we are still in the same place and are doing our bit, believe me. We get out a lot of trucks in a day. T do not see hardly what they do with so many, but they do not last long up at the front. I guess they go over some pretty rough roads, but they certainly have fine roads elsewhere ali around through the country. They also have very fine bridges, too. I saw one a mile long and it was all stone. The houses are all stone or cement— even the floors aré cement. We have very good quarters now. Well, Ma, this is called Mothers' day. It is to make every one of us think of our homes. The Y. M. C. A. got up a service for us this morning. but I did not get a chance to get down there, but I can write to you just the same. The Y. M. C. A are certainly doing great work over here, for they make us feel at-home every time we go there, and they give us books and readings, too. Here is a little piece I picked out of one book which sounded good to me: MOTHER. Far, far away, we said goodbxe to her, but she would not be left behind. she is with us always. God could not be everywhere, so he zave us mother. We had boasted to ourselves that we were men, no longer held by apron strings. and now we find it true, for the strings are become chains and we are proud of our shackles. Who would have guessed from knowing us that mother sits enthroned in our hearts. But there she is, the one who kno us best, the one who counts upon is most, and by her verv expectation makes us men such as we had not dreamed to be. God did a good thing when he gave us mother. Dear Ma, ‘that little piece is a small one, but there is a great heap of truth in it. and I think everybody over here will agree with me. but, Ma, don’t get discouragéd: we will be home some day and tell a lot. and if we do not why we may meet in an- other world where there is no sorrow or trouble. o, Ma. with these few lines T will say good night.

Day, May 12, 1918, My Dear Mom: Since General Pershing has so stren- uously advocated -the writing of a mother's letter by each of the Ameri- can boys in Europe, T shall try to make this a letter strictly.to the one who is dearer to me than all the world. I am writing this just hefore sunset on one of the most beautiful days that God ever gave to men. Just opposite the room in which I am writing stands an old French convent managed by cloistered nuns. An immense wall sur- rounds the place, but as I am on the third floor of the hospital T can look down on their beautiful gardens. Here there are flowers of almost every de- seription, and as they are just begin- ning to bloom the garden presents a very préttv view. -Now that I mention flowers, Mother. dear, I am wondering how your plants survived the winter months and ‘what ‘new vafieties ysu have ‘added to your already. almost complete list. . Judging from the weather of . the past day or two, T should say that the #ood old summertime is almost here. What a wonderful. old place this' will be in a few more weeks.
