The Letter
"Casualties had occurred among our
soldiers just before we arrived at eur
village," the letter reads, "and we were
ordered to get under cover of our de
suite. After a supper of chocolate, war
bread, and canned beef, the six of us sec.
retaries were ordered to the cellar of
the 'Y,' together with fifty soldiers who
happened to be in the old shell-torn
building, as the boche were beginning
again to shell the town. We took candies,
a bis basketful of canteen suip
plies, to last us in case we should have
to be dug out later, overcoats and blankets.
We fitted our gas fbasks on to
be sure they were working well, and
then settled down?or tried to?in the
dungeon. We expected to have to stay
all night, but in an hour a sentry called,
'All out,' and up we gladly went, j
The rest of the evening we spent upstairs
in one of the reasonably whole
rooms, with piano and songs and sto*j
ries and the ever-present and wonder-J
ful canteen, at which I took my turn.j
"Needless to say, I slept none that|
night, with all the bang and noise out-;

us ladened with about fifty pounds of j
canteen supplies besides our helmet, i
gas masks, carried at all times at!
'alerte,' etc.
"For two hours we pursued a tortuous
wa7 among the various lines of
trenches and connecting trcnches,
stopping frequently to dispense our
popular wares among the boys, some
repairing the trenches, some building
new ones, some on sentry duty, somo|
sleeping in the dugouts, some man- j

heads.

public this translation:
"Besides an untold amount of'
