4th of July Celebration,
Soldier Writes Home
A thrilling description of an air
charge of German planes is narrated
in a letter from Private George W.
Bell, stationed somewhere In France.
Private Bell writes to his father,
Joseph L. Bell, 743 South Nineteenth
' street.
He tells of his experiences over
seas. Eggs are selling there at SI.OB
j per dozen. The boys purchase them
and cook them. They relish the eggs
very much as a taste of home, he
says.
Commenting on the German
planes, he says:
i "We are not troubled with German

planes so very often any more but
i*bout two weeku ago my bunky
and I were sleeping with the sky and
the starlight for a roof and we were
suddenly awakened by an unexpect
ed Foui'th of July celebration, so we
lay and watched th flash in the air.
In a tfe-.v seconds you could hear the
explosion. This was kept up for an
hour and a half, and we linally went
to sleep again. The next morning
you could hear all sorts of rumors
but there was no official report of
what went on the night before. You
can hear almost a steady roar from
the gunfire from where we are and
sometimes the billet which we slept
In, trembles as though it were
scared."

Bell promises his father in another
portion of the letter.
