where I 1 shall be until 9 tonight having got here at 6 this morning f it is one of our duties though it seems to me like tempting provi dence to wait here all day for an aviator to tumble out of the sky however it is only 8 now and I 1 have already taken a wounded observe benr to a hospital his pilot flew back from the front with him a few minutes ago with a bullet from a trench through his leg feg the poor thing must have been sut suf fering though he didn dian i show it as the bone was broken about forty planes have left and there is now in front of my car a row of thirteen heavenly scads ready to go they are the Chass eurs and so much prettier than the samson the photograph planes or the 13 our gogul the trench strafing machine it was quite wonderful going down the stairs through the sleeping cha this morning and out into the lovely clear morning air at 5 30 and getting out nice old pippa from her enchanting allee under the trees and we are all feeling so elated these days with our successful advance isn t it too superb I 1 only hope by the time you get this the boche will I 1 still be running as fast the day before yesterday at the poste de secours I 1 had an experience alre that I 1 doubt will ever be re heated tor for me again I 1 was up there with bailly as my second and wool combe and harvey on the other car it was the morning of our french attack on the northwest side of 1 and the colonel came down to our courtyard to 0 o district dibir lct himself receiving his dispatches there from the trenches and telling us all the plans one particular re ciment he was most interested in was to go over the top in halt half an hour and so to calm him I 1 played i mumble de peg with him until I 1 had to run back with some blesses when I 1 got back he had left with his own regi regiment meAt but the next morning just before we left for our chateau a man came in from the trenches with a message from the i colonel giving us his amit leres ro harvey s amusement who talks beautiful french and who sent him E an appropriately beautiful message my vocabulary being limited I 1 sent him beaucoup Beau coup de kilometres kilo metres and eures boches the old cc colonel io let will laugh at that I 1 know and say I 1 recognize pair fair west s french there they all call me fair west meaning far west of course its it s the most polite warfare out there while we were there our t poste was advanced one mile down to 0 a place called the boise de la pipe ipe a little corner of woods where he the brought the blesses to us on oil stretchers from the trenches the arst time we got there the boche spotted old pippa I 1 i and landed a in the corner of the field quite yards off though the bronchard leres who were talk j ii g to us and bailly were in the abri in two jumps but the captain had been telling me never to run so I 1 followed his advice and lay id down flat on the ground until a bronch ardiere lere stuck his head out 0 the abri and yelled to me to go down with them which I 1 d d with ing agility but they sent no more over an I 1 shortly after that they aad ad to run so fast with their guns that they lost all ranges and we took roads during the night that me never could have gone on before we rode the whole twenty fod bourg hourwich with a slice of bread and jam at 11 at night and tea and another slice at 5 in the morning it was a wonderful day and night as the more work one esthe better it is especially when the men are not badly wounded nearly all of ours were assis and with no arrives and only our spitting along the road it was quite the finest bit of work I 1 ve had and the joy of victory you cant can t imag ine the supreme sense of elation it gives one out there even it if one is merely a conductance conduct nce rice and now we shall be leaving the chateau in a couple of days to billet in fresh pas tures the heaven of 0 going forward and not back I 1 can t finish this now an avia tor just fell about halt half a mile over the field and I 1 had to go after him and take him back cross country over that terrible stretch at one time in a potato patch patel I 1 stuck as too many doctors had got in with him but with a wild prayer I 1 was out of the hole in only a second and then I 1 had to make a horrible race for the hospital tour four kilometers away and over such a road it if I 1 jarred him hi h would die and if I 1 didn dian t make it in time he would die I 1 shall dream that four kilometers all the rest of my life but I 1 got the poor thing there alive later he can t live though and he is only 19 an aviator just told me he must have got suddenly diz zy as he fell just as he was ing out his but he says they will never know the aviator has been sitting on the tender fender of my car talking to me for an hour so already I 1 feel much better and not so shaky isn t it a blessing what the human being can stand t d a and nd recover from in the way 0 of hideous eo us sights and happenings and what a wonderful elixir human beings conversation can be but the french are the most mar people in the world always seeming to talk about just the right thing and with such kindness MAUDE FITCH |
