German of eight years ago, or even Ave —who lived in such a thrifty and clean way at home— can degenerate into such tilthy ani malism in four years of war. Neither tire French nor the English live that way. Letter Comes After Dentil "We are awaiting the order to go into battle," wrote Private Daniel i Wanzie, of Kulpmont, to his mother i on August 6. He was killed in action later in the day. according to official notification which reached his moth er before his letter. "We gave the Huns another hard run lust night," he wrote. "Just as it was getting dark they opened up everything they possibly could on us; but it was no surprise on our part, as vvq had been expecting it for twenty • four hours. I "After a few hours of heavy firing into our lines, it suddenly ceased. | Our boys went into a strong counter [ attack as soon as the firing had I halted, and we succeeded in captur | ing a town ibout as big as Kulpmont. | As we retook the place, our men ull : took up new positions to hold the j town, i got a position in an old fac tory for my automatic rifle, and about daybreak this morning there were ail sorts of shrapnel ijing about us. "I had about the most narrow es cape than at any time since I have been in battle. Those big shells just tore the immense concrete walls from in front of me. But the only things that happened to me were a ! few dents in my iron hat. My pal in j arms was taken to a hospital with : wounds caused by shrapnel and fly ! ing bricks. I "We get frequent gas attacks by I the Fritzies, but they seem to suc | coed very little, as we are using the best gas mask, I think, of any nation I over here. In fact, I know it.' j Although parents of Corporal L. E. Neary, of the marines, of Carbon- I dale, got word recently that he had j been wounded on June 16, they have u letter written by their son on Au gust 5, his birthday. "It's a long way from this birth day to the last," he writes to his mother. "I have nothing to regret, i feeling I am doing my duty as you | and Dad would wish me to do. And let this generation wind it up for all ! time, so that Bayard, Eugene and others of their age will not have to go out to make the sacrifice that was expected from us. And I hope that yon and Dad can see It as I do." The story of the start of Mar shal Foch's flank drive, which broke the German hold on the Marne river, is told by Private Roy J. Robbins, of the Marines, in letter to his home, at Collingdale. private Robbins is one of twanty j thrce members of a Sunday school j class at Collingdale in the service. | The class originally had thirty-five | members. Nine of them are in the j Marines. Recovering from gas, Rob ] bins writes from a rest billet "away from the sound of shells." "We were resting on the banks of the Marne," lie writes, "living in a patch of woods with no shelter, only what you improvise.. We were there about a week, expecting every day to move back to some big town and get good billets and & good rest. "Well, the looked-for order came along one day to move out. We all thought our division was going back to recuperate and train the new men, the replacements who were to till the gaps made at Belleau wood and Cha teau Thierry. We were under that impression until we hiked a few hours anil got intb big autotrucks at midnight. "They whisked us away to a new front. I guess you know what one, as we were the Americans that start ed the first day. We rode all night and next day and landed at our des tination, a big woods. "At 4 a. m. I got up to go on guard, to look for gas, etc. At 4.30 1 came near jumping out of my skin, as it seented all the big guns in the war were tiring on me. But then in a minute 1 realized we were sending over the worst barrage I had ever heard. • "The guns were a lltle piece be hind up and I could see the Hash as they fired. It was a rolling barrage and as we afterward found it, the Americans and French were walking over flclds right behind it. They say it was a perfect barrage. | "We traveled that night, sturting ! about 7 o'clock and walked until dark. Then we slept in a ravine where the Huns had their artillery the night before. Their guns were there yet. Well, we hit the deck at 8.30 a. m. and threw everything we had in one pile to be left there, and just kept one blanket, mess gear, 'gat' and -gas mask. "I had the machine gun on my shoulder. Of course, we would trade off, changing one fellow's load to an other. but they were all heavy. We walked at least seven or eight miles that morning,over hills, down valleys, over fields, along roads, and every where we could see the story of the Hun fl'ght. "Once a plane swooped down and began tiring at us. but we ducked into Hie woods and he had to give up. loiter 1 saw a Hun brought down, and 1 hope it was the same square-head. "Well, at least about 8 a. m. we reached our destination, the last town captured the day before und the signs of-the Germans were still there. It was here that our boys took 300 Huns and a Count in a big cave. There were plenty of signs around printed in German. t'luiugixl Street's Numc "On one street was a signboard 'Hindenburg Strasse.' One of the boys knocked it down and turned It over and put 'Marine Avenue' on it." "We soon found out that we were to sturt out on the fields outside of the town and go across a level stretch to u point six kilometers away. We could sec a town in the distance, and that was our objec tive. We marched out to u large wheat field and started to deploy ready for our share. "All the time we were there the "Huns were sending over their hate in the form of 'big heavieß.' We had to wait out there a half hour before the tanks came on the scene. They were the big, slijw type. We let them get a start on us, and then we started. "We had to go very slow In order to keep about fifty yards behind the taks. We had to stop vdry often, as the tanks moved very slowly. All the time we were going, the Huns weren't sleeping. They sure were do ing their best to stop the war for all of us. Machine gun bullets were hit ting the ground all around us and whizzing by in a steady stream, and big shells breaking all around. To hear a big piece go by like lightning. I can't imagine how any of us came out of it alive or not wounded. "There was no projection out thehe, just a level field, and we had to keep on going. We got up to the edge of the town and 'dug in.' There wasn't enough men to take the town until reinforcements came up under cover, so we held the line until night. That night we were relieved by French and the next day we took the town."
