David Sadinsky of 14 Aqueduct street, from their son, Pri- vate Max Sadinsky, who is with the headquarters traops of the ~Fourth army corps, now stationed somewhere in Germany: Somewhere in France. Nov. 14, 1918, Dear Parents:— I am sure that by the time you re- | ceive this letter you will be aware of |the good news—namely, that of the idownfall of the German empire. Isn't it just wonderful? I wanted to let you know about it by cablezram but upon second thought decided not to, as 1 thought you might get frightened to receive a cablegram from overseas. 1 can picture the doings in the little town of Norwich when informed of this. I can imagine how mothar, fa- ther and the parents of all of our boys over here feit when ‘they heard the glad news. Didn't I tell you all along that ‘we would win? There could not have been anything different, as the kaiser_could not lick the whole world. So Jack did finally go to camp! I am positively sure that he will never come over here. He will at least have a free ride over interesting country, as it is quite a stretch from home to Fortress Monroe, Va. We keep on moving around to dif- ferent little towns. The latter are all <hot to pieces—nothing but stone walls left standing in many places. ‘The general or chief of staff, for whom T am orderly, asked me the other day if I had ever been to the front. 1 told him no. He told me to hop in and he would show me around. We visited plages where the Germans had been up to the minute that the armistice had been signed, and it is needless to say that T had an interest- ing rtde—of course, it was due in part {to the company of this general—he is| {a real prince. | I am enclosinz a paper which is composed of daily American news; you ! will note that we are pretty well sup- plied with all that is going on in the jU.

Then we conyayed gverland to Chery, that's where we got our first taste of shellfire and gas. One of' the Norwich Dbays got picked off; but he was not with our battery, being supply ser- gepnt for the remimnl. Sg for we— hat is, Battery E—has not lost a man killed, ‘and only a few wounded, and they not bad. We were in that sector qugut three weeks, then came to the rgonne front, where we finished the joh right, and for a month now I've been going to write, but neyer got to it. Today, after a shave and iwash, T've got the time to spare and as the A. F. T.”has set today aside as Fa- ther's day I've taken advaptage to drap you a few words. We are now on our way back from what was once the front—there is no more noise nights—that and the Hun planes. Gee! but Pm glad it's over and will be back to the woods by spring, if not soener.

Private Willlam Stelzner writes from France to his father, Fred Stelzner, of Norwich Town, describing his tripi acposs from Devens and his part.in the war. His letter follows: 4 France, Nov.'24, 1918, My Dear Dad:i— . Today being Father’s day, we have been asked to write a letter to Dad and we are allowed to write a few things of our trip over here, so I will try and tell you a little of our life! over here, starting from the time 1 left Devens.” Well, Dad, we left Dev- ens on a Monday marning, July 8, at halt past 2 o'cock. We went from the camp to Boston, boarded a boat early in the morning; we left the harbor about 1 o'clock ‘and went to Halifax, where we Iaid in the harbor for one day, then started on our long trip. The water was very calm but 1 did not feel very good. I cannot stand the water at all, and I was glad I did not join the navy. We were on the water for fourteen days and we had some very goed weather all the way. There was some mob on the boat—about fif- teen hundred on board. We did not see any subs on ur trip across. There were twnty-two boats with us. All had troops on—some hunch of men! We then lagnded at Tilibury docks, July 22, | in the afternoon, We then went to a camp in Win- chester, England. a rest camp—by name only. We then went to South- | 24th for France. We landed in France the 25th in Havre. We then went to another rest camp for another day; we left Havre the 26th, on a train this time, in box cars—forty in one car— and they are only one-third as large as the V. 8. freight cars. We stayed | in them for two days and nights and landed in Lunery. Maybe you will not he able to find it on the map, as| it is very small, the nearest blg town heing Burgis. Bruero was about five miles from Lunery. That town is the center of France. Our headquarters were in St.| Amand; that was twenty-two miles fram Lunery. You will have to get| quite a large map to find these towns. When we got here they made a S div on out of the 76th, so they broke | us all up; most of the boys went the front.

These weze all built in the ground, made of concrete. 1 was in Toul for several months: from there went to a place cajled | Minillatoure and from there went to & French town called Boucz. In _the latter we were about six weeks. Then we started on a tous through France and, riding in trucks, coyered many miles of territory which was occupied by the Germans since the war broke out. I visited Bettemburg, a beautiful town. The people here talk German, I did have lots of sport. I attended a German dance and had some fun Svith the German girls. On the whole, the geople here were very congenial; on our first arriving here they had something of a half holiday—a parade for us as we were the first American soldiers to pass through their city. That night we all slept in the private homes of the Germans. They opened their doors to us and told us that the | Americans were welcome to anything they possess. 1 also stopped in a town called Joppecort and Hesperage, which is not far from Luxemburg. I found Luxemburg quite a nice place. Here 1 was invited by a nice German girl to her home, where I enjoyed a dandy Thanksgiving dinner. I am enclosing several postal cards of views of this city, one of the Adolfbrucke. This is the most beautiful arched bridge I ever witnessed. I was there on Thanksgiving day.
