SOLDIERS AND SAILORS What Eastern Connecticut Boys Are Doing In Various Branches of the Service. From Soldier of the 102nd. The following léetter from Corporal Emersen Staetner has special inter- est at the present time because of the hot fighting in whica the 102nd Intantry, largely made up of Connec- ticut soldiers, has recently been en- gaged. Corporal Staetner is in a ma- ne gun company. His home is in Willimautic and he was a former pia- no pupil of Miss Olive Hunt of this y.

The *Boche didn't make it so but the rain, raing rain and the mud and clay ,|@nd water' that made life well nigh all the rest of the time \loudy and after vain in all varieties from a heavy ‘thick fog to pounding, drench- ing stdrms. Often our dugout had at least several inches of water all over the floor and the bunks were soaking wet for dars at a time, and it was cold. ~Then besides the rain, the trench lice seemed worse than usual. Toward the end of our tour of duty we were s0 covered we wcarce could sleep even the little time alloted to us. Of what happened this time I can of course tell but little, T ecan say though that somehow I have been able to see the picturesque and the romum- tic side in every experience, even the unpleasant ones. During one of the worst bombardments we received I somehow could not help but think of a verse I read somewhere— “Then crashed the hills with thunder riven, Then rushed the steed to battie driven, And louder than the bolts of heaven Far flashed the red artillery.” In the grandeur of those lines I | forgot all about the danger. The man who wrote that has certainly heard the booming of the cannon. Of course most everything happens at night in the trenches. Modern ‘weapons are so effective that any at- tack in daylight is apt to prove very costly, sp though we may relax and sleep during the day, at night all must be alert and ready. It is interesting to watch the signal lights. use rocket signals at night—some go up just for illumination, others tell the artillery what to do. The lights re various colors. Seme break into ifferent numbers of stare—all mean something. ertain rocket-lights mean “gas.” So the sentinels watch the lights’ carefully, both ours and the Of course our code of siz- changed frequently for the secrecy.

That calls to my mind the birds, They seem to enjoy it too. Nowh in France haye I heard or seen so many birds—all kinds together. Dur- ing the lulls in fierce bombardments it is possible to- hear them singing louder than ever, The day hefors my birthday we got word we were to be relieved that night and everyone was happy—the longest hitch yet put in by any American soldiers was soon to be over. The relief didn't arrive till af- |ter 1 a. m. so it was my birthday morning we moved out. We hiked out through a ruined vil- lage near the line. The ancient houses and the little church had been crumbled to ruins by the heavy ar- tillery, Here and there a wall was standing and the blank windows and doors stared at us. as we marched up the silent street once used by peace- ful farmer-folk but now used only by soldiers, Now and again an Ameri- can sentry would halt us sharply and demand who we were and where we were going. We.passed the village and were foon hiking aleng 2 good road camoufiaged carefully.

And we stirred only for grub. and in the afternoon for a good wash and a eleanup. Next day we hiked still back. All the men were tired and footsore but it seemed good to be in the open air and not down under- ground in mud and slime—and the sun shone brightly.
