I have a half dozen fragments from burst ed ones. One piece fell in the trench heside me. Aldical men are and are not especially trained in war tactics, hut for the fun of it we take work of this kind with the other men. This morning I threw three or four live grenades. Yesterday I was in the rifle pits with the men on rifle practice and got to see for the first lime a Frowning automatic army rife, and believe me that is some gun. It shoots twenty rounds in two seconds with one constant pull of the the trigger, or it will shoot 20 shots by pulling the trigger for each shot. I shot 100 rounds for practice. Il shoots true. I expect to go to the rifle pit tomorrow again. They haul ammunition to the men by "the team.

Dear Father: I have started several times to write to you but each time 1 put the starting of letters in my pocket and of course spoiled them. 1 am still feeling fine and hope these few lines find everybody at home the same. I had a fine trip and also a ong one and a bit tiresome, bul it sure was fine. The village we are located in seems strange and old fashioned, hut the people treat us fine and most of them try to teach us French so we can understand them, but I dont think I will eateh hold of the language very quick. I have a French hook or two and have tried to learn a few simple phrases and words. T went down to the river this washed and afternoon my wash them ; to or tried clothes, they are awful dirty as I had worn them for the whole trip had been treated in 13 different from Xew York.

I was on K. P. yesterday and with five more of the boys and dont remember trying to do nnylhing like it before. The first thing in the morning it rained, and it rained until almost noon, making our open air kitchen rather muddy and disagreeable to get around for it was put on a clay slope you. know what clay is when it gets wet. I havent as yet heard from home hut am expecting a letter now most any time, and that time cannot come too quick for I sure enjoy to read of what you are doing and how everybody are at home. I sure hope you have some good grain this year for it will all be needed if circumstances at home in the IT. S. are like they say they are, but I never seen anything very much worse than they were last year. The crops here look fine, as much as I have seen of them, Phe people here dont have the machinery as much as we do at home, but they seem to take the oxen and carts as handy as lots of people would a learn of horses and a good wagon. Well, I eant think of anything more that I could write about, altho I know plenty of stuff that I see on the road and welfare, I remain as ever your voyage. Ever wishing for your son, ALAN A. BUTLER, Hat. D., 348th F. A., A. P. 0. American 723, Expeditionary Forces. up-to-da- te FROM ALLEN WIGNALL. France. Dear Father: I guess you think I have forgotten you the way I have neglected in writing, but father, we have been going every day and havent had time to do anything, but now we have stopped a short time and can write, but not very much. As far as a trip we first had a night on the train and then a When we night on the boat. crossed the ocean I never felt sick at all, hut the next trip vve lial T sure did feed the fish. The boat seemed to go under water part of the time; if we tried tq.Uand on deck we would go from one side to the other," and believe me we sure did get sick. The next night we were on a train and had to sleep in box ears, hut at that we had a good trip. We had to sleep on each other but we sure did enjoy it. After a man gets out of here he can stand anything. Father, they say this war will not last out this year, and the way it looks to me T dont think so either. Every day they push them hack two or three miles, and if we ever get on the firing line we will push them hack still farther. We are living with the French now and they sure treat us fine. The hunch I am with stays at a house with them and they give us all they got and thal is not very much. Well, father, this is all I can think of now. I will write more next time. Love to all. ALLEY.

I was told of Doans Kidney Pills and T used them. Doans brought me quick and positive relief and strengthened (Statement my kidneys and back. given January 29, 1919.)
