"safe over the seas." It was a long
ride, you -bet, on the water, but I en- ,
joyed it fine. I am going to tell you,
everything is in our favor; the Germans
had just as well surrender, for
we have got them licked. Lula, tell

BETTER FROM BILL" TO HIS
MOTHER MRS. JACK XA>CE
England, Aug. 31. 1918. j
Dearest "Mumsie:"
Your letter of the 8th just received,
ilso two letters from the kid. Yes,
I regret very much that I was not
there to enjoy your visit with you,
but probably will be with, you next
time.
(Spent a very pleasant four days in
- ' J ~ svt
London the first of u^e wees auu uct
quite a few Americans and Australi2ns
just from the tienches and the/
certainly are confident of giving the
Germans just what they deserve, and
return home by Xmas. Of course it
is rather doubtful if such will be the
case; in my mind. But to hear the
Australians talk that fought with the
Americans during July would certainly
make any one. believe that we can
and will do it. They say it is a perfect
miracle the way the Yanks fight
and they themselves believe our boys
can accomplish within a few months,
what they themselves could not do
with help, within a few years. You
know that I have always been a true
patriotic American and proud of it,
but believe me, when I return to the
good old U. S. A. I am going to return
to a better America than I
thought it possible to he.
O! course I would like to see the
war over soon but I do not want to
return until the German army and
people have suffered as they have
made the Belgians and Franch suffer,
and believe me the Yanks are goin?
to teach them a lesson that they will
never foreet.
T went to the London address of
Dock's but did not see him as he ts
in France. You can send him my address
as follows:

A LETTER FROM TAE FRONT
FROM WILLIAM T. &PENCF.
American Expeditionary Forces
Aug. 5, 1913. I
Miss Jenette Harmon,
>lv Dear Little ^Jiece:?
I will answer your sweet letter. I
was &o glad to get a letter from you
I am well and doine fine. I have been
In the front line and have been out
on no man's land but have not been
in a fight yet. I guess we will before
long. The only thing that is worrying
us now is the mud. We have a
rain almost every day and gee this
beats all places for mud I ever saw.
Ten minutes after a rain you can
stand up and soon as the sun
comes out ground drie* off in a
couple of hoirs so it looks like we
i-oyon't hqrf ra,-n but we are getting
use to the mud. I guess you have
hear of the good work we have
been doing and as long as this continues
I think you will see me home
Christmas. "Well it is most time for
the Huns to come over with their nice
little aeroplanes, dropping bombs
around so I guess I will put out the
candle before he puts it out for me.
Give my love to all and write real
soon. By By
Prom your loving: uncle.

which, among other things, he aaysTj
"The people look different to us. Y6u
j can tell by looking at the people that
j the war is on. The people over there
don't know the war is on. You ought
to know how it is over here. There
are hundreds and thousands of U. S.
A. soldiers over here. It seems they
are all having a good time. It doesn't
seem to worry them to be over here.
Thdre are so many of us. We don't
j mind going and being together.
I haven't heard much about the War
! since I left over there. It doesn't
seem that the bovs realize that the
war is on, everybody seems to be having
a good time together. I haven't
had any training yet; don't think it
will be but a few days before they
begin to train us.

May be Started.
Paris, Sept. 27.?Gen. Franchet
d'Esperey, commanding the allied armies
in Macedonia, has telegraphed to
tie French government that a high
Bulgarian officer has presented himself

hours to permit the arrival of two
authorized delegates from the Bulgarian
government
The minister of finance, Liaptchell.
and General Loukoff, commanding the
I Bulgarion second army, are on their
| way to the Frenefr headquarters with 1
the assent of King Ferdinand to arrange
the conditions of the armistice
' and eventually the terms of peace.
The Frepch commander reports that
the Bulgarian request reached him
through an intermediary, the general

to present themselves to the

made a reply declining to grant ,.an
armistice, but promising to Teceive
duly qualified government delegates.
