Letters Fromthe Front
MEADE D. DETWEILER GIVES
VIVID DESCRIPTION
Meade D. Detweiler, son of Mrs. Meade D. Detweiler, of
this city, who has been in the ambulance service in France since
early this summer, in a letter to his mother vividly describes the
recent air raid on Paris. He says the din caused by the sounding
of the "aid alarm" reminded him of Harrisburg on New Year's
eve.
Amerii-an Ambulance Hospital
of Paris.
Nevilly-Sur-Seine. Prance,
••. • August 7. 1917.
Mother Dearest:—
A friend of mine who is one of the
five fellows in our room is leaving
Saturday for the U. S. A. We will
Indeed be sorry to have him go, for
we have spent many happy though
sad moments together in our work.
1 must tell you of the air raid and
how the Paris aviators drove the Ger
man raiders away. It was a great
experience. It was a fine evening
and in the warm air Parisians walked
quietly home from the theater, etc.
In the clear summer sky the stars
were brilliant and bright. It was a
restful peace-time night. Suddenly
In the streets rose the well-known
sound of the firemen's "alarm call,"
accompanied by the "strident voice
of sirens." It was the signal of "an
air raid menace on the capital" and
the speedy cars running through the
city in less than ten minutes had ad
vised the whole population of the pos
sible danger. Little by little the
lights were turned out and the town
was .put in darkness. There was no
excitement among the population but
the alarm met with "natural inter
efts." People were running in the
streets towards the open places where
they could see the much expected
"Zeppelins." Parisians, confident in
the strength of the "aerial defense ot
the city,: 1 waited for the "baby kill
ers" In the hope of seeing one of them
at least fall in (lames and receive the
punishment of its crimes.
Crowds Gnthcr
Crowds, notwithstanding the dan
ger, gathered at all points of vantage.
The aeroplanes came out on guard,
looking like moving stars in the sky.
There were many of them and every
body looked at'them, confident that
they would victoriously fight any
Zeppelin that ventured over Paris.
Searchlights cut the sky in every di
rection, seeking for the German air
machines that had been announced.
Quietly sitting on the pavements,
people were discussing how long it
takes a German aircraft to come from
their lines to Paris; how many of
them are there? What speed are they
running at? What do they carry'
And to all these questions if one has
a sense of humor at all, even in try
ing times like these, the nonexpert
theorists applied quite unexpected an
swers.
Everybody here should be satisfied
with the assurance that the aerial
defense of Paris is so well established,
even during the night, that the mili
tary authorities are warned of the
number of hostile machines within a
few minutes of the time they cross
the lines and the types represented.
Even their most speedy aeroplanes
can not escape our keen-sighted
watchers.
Like IVew Vrnr'pi Eve
I was awakened about 12 o'clock
to hear the noises in the streets
like "New Year's Eve" in Harrisburg.
The men in the building here extin
guished all the lights and dressed and
we all rushed to the hospital, where
we started our machines and awaited
orders. It is our duty to be prepared
to exacuate any hospital in Paris,
consequently we were ordered to dif
ferent posts. I was ordered to a
small hospital in the Bois, and stayed
there until the raid was over.
The sky, as I said before, was full
of machines and it was a wonderful
sight to behold; also exciting, for you
knew the German planes were so high
you would be unable to see them.
They only came within twenty miles
of Paris and dropped a few bombs,
but we fought them, and last night's
alarm proved how perfect is our de
fensive system.
That was the first real excitement I
have had.
Fool In llpHlrlctril
It is sure now, as you have seen
by the papers, that Germany gets all
the canned foodstuffs we send Swit
zerland. who claims she is neutral, for
Germany supplies all the coal to her
and she in return must give out food.
Until we stop shipping to these so
called "neutral countries" Germany
will get this food. You cannot realize
what it all means until you get over
here and see, for you see nothing in
the States. I have been very well,
but oh, how damp and cool the cli-
Lafayette Squadrilla
Cited in Army Orders
For Great Courage
Grand Headquarters of the
French Army, Thursday, Aug. 23.
The Lafayette squadrilla, composed
of American airmen, enlisted in the
French aerial service, was cited in
army orders to-day for its courage
and spirit of sacrifice. The citation,
which is signed by General Petain,
commander-in-chief of the French
armies operating on the French
front, follows:
"The squadrilla, composed of
American volunteers, who have
come to light for France in the pure
spirit of sueriflce, has fought inces
santly under the command of Cap
tain Georges Thenault, who formed
It for an ardent fight against our
enemies. In very severe combats
it has paid the price of serious
losses, which, far from weakening,
have increased its morale.
"The squadrilla has brought down
twenty-eight enemy airplanes. It
has aroused the profound admiration
of commanders, who have had it
under their orders, and also of
French squadrillas which are fight
ing beside it and have desired to
rival It in valor."

mate is hero and tt seems to be the
same weather conditions all the time.
One of the divisions leaves for the
front to-morrow. I do not expect to
go along with the unit as I have been
asked to remain on duty here, other
wise I would go. I feel quite sure,
hcwever. It will be only a very short
time until I too am sleeping under a
machine or in "some hole." Never
theless X am anxious to go.
The food in this country now is not
like it has been the past few months.
Unless you Ret sn opportunity to buy
sweet chocolate you never would see
sugar. The people keeping; house are
restricted terribly and I am not exag
gerating when I say that a family of
four are allowed each week a sack
of flour no larger than a small-sized
glass. They may have one pound of
sugar a month and no milk unless
they are sick or have smalt children.
I have seen the size sack of flour and
will send you one in the near future.
I asked a woman "what she did with
her flour" and found "she made
gravy. Meat is nearly one dollar a
pound for the poorest kind, such as
"horse steak."
Count Their Potntoe*
It is really funny to see the people
go so far as to count potatoes when
buying. Coal Is SBO to S9O a ton con
sequently that makes laundry expen
sive. Also the little cakes you buy
by the piece one must pay 20 centimes
for, the size of our naliiscos, for they
contain "so much" sugar. I have not
seen a muffin or biscuit since 1
landed, only war bread and the kind
ot crackers made of flour.
1 have learned the French coins and
find there are so many coppers. The
larger paper money, such as 20 and
200-franc nodes, are funny square
pieces of paper looking like our "pa
per advertisements for some show."
Wounded A ery llrnvc
The suffering of humanity is beyond
description here. I carried a man out
of a hospital train a few days ago
who had both his legs off, a bad cut
along his right side and one hand out
of commission, and can you realize
it—he never murmured. It was sur
prising to see how very brave they
are and yet wounded so badly they
shall never recover. The American
people have responded wonderfully
and the Red Cross work is beyond de
scription. It certainly will do an
awful amount of good to the people
here for they have no money to put
up comfortable places along the bat
tlefront where tho soldiers can go to
rest and read. Our Red Cross work
and money from the States will help
this very materially, and many can
teens are being placed all along the
front. You may not believe it, but
one can hear the roar of the cannons
when you get twenty miles outside
of Paris, and I have come to believe
that these artillery attacks cause rain
for it has rained a great deal these
past few days while the offensive has
been going on.
This is the most wonderful place I
have ever been—something new to see
every day; and If I had the time T
should like to see it all, but it Is not
possible now.
I have been in the "Invalldes", seen
"Napoleon's Tomb" which Is perfectly
beautiful and a most impressive sight,
for the wonderful shade of that blue
light cast all around, with tho lovely
gold altar In the rear, gives a tone ot
reverance that no human being could
ever forget. The stained glass win
dows at San Chapelle are the finest 1
have ever seen, and the Perl Uachais
Cemetery, the lai gest, is simply filled
with wonderful monuments.
I was glad to hear you received my
"steamer log" and the rest will come
along In file, for I have written twice
each week since I arrived. I hope to
receive the papers soon and it is a
happy day wh'en I get news. I see
the Philadelphia papers once in a
great while at Morgan's. I was glad
to get clippings you sent to me and
did sincerely appreciate the kindness
conferred on me by our dear Market
Square Church people. 1 had a safe
and pleasant voyage, all but two
hours, which I told you about. I
never realize I am so far away until
1 think ot "mail news," for It is al
most "the impossible" that I am 3500
miles away. ~,
I must run along now. Keep well
and give my best to all Inquiring
friends.
