Tells of Life at Front as Ambulance Driver In a letter to his friends here. Earnest A. Doepke. S. S. N". 631, Convois Automobiles. Par B. C. M.. French Army, describes life in an auto truck company in a French army, and incidentallj* shows the brighter side of the war. as well as its grimmer experiences. He describes a vacation at Aix Les Bams in the French Alps, on Lake Bourget. near Mount Blanc. He tells of a pleasent vacation with "lots of nice girls. French and Am erican. and tennis, boating, swim ming. picnics, dancing.etc," arid "then last but not least a nice hotel to sleep in." To show that the work of the ambulancier is not all pleasure, however, he cites an experience of a fellow driver. The latter says: "During the Boche advance these fellows had no regular post—they just ran up as close as they could to the Huns and then load their cars and go on. Well, one of them a very quiet, slow talking fellow that looked and acted as though he'd fall dead at the sight of a Boche. somehow gf>t lost with a load of "blesses" and finally ended up in the Boche lines, and there is where he showed the real stuff. He put the French officer who was riding on the seat with him in side. then smeared mud and clay all over his car to make it unrecog nizable and then put on an old Boche helmet and with a revolver on his seat next to him he made one dash through the masses of Boche troops and the old boy got hack safe. When later the officer questioned him about his trip to Germany he said very slowly. '1 told you that they couldn't get me". " Poepke adds that American news papers are much appreciated by the men in his camp. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Railroad Man Dies of Scalds Received at Work George W.
