Am going to take a chance in telling you all what I have r been doing ana am stui aomg. ft I am* in charge of getting all the horses and mules shod. Don't mean ^ N I am shoeing them myself, but getting the right ones at the right time?the ones for the .next shipment. When they are shod there is a detail to carry them up to the front. Sometime they .i go most of the way in cars then over land the rest of the way. Some go all the way over land. Have slept right in cars with horses more tKan one while thpv ate hav out from under me. Papa, how do you think p| you would like that? I've been up where houses were torn up by big guns and bombs, but I haven't been able to get up where the thick of the fight was. Haven't had a trip in a long time. They wont let me go. They say they can't spare me off my job. Guess 1 had better stop about war affairs. Want to tell vou ail something I have had more pleasure and privilege - since I got in F. R. S. No. 330, as far i| as army life is concerned, than I ever W did at Camp Sevier. Of course I don't ' get a pass to go home over here, but > 4 f we sure have got a fine bunch of officers and men to soldier with. I am sitting between our sergeant clerk and his assistant, all three writing and wondering how long. Gee, it would be amusing for you all to hear our conversation 6very ^ night; first one then the other, talkJ ing about liis home State is the best; then about when we are going home and what we are going to do. One thing you hear most is we are going to lie in bed until we get our rest. Papa. I don't think I ought to ever minrl fppriir>5r hpfnro rlnv snv mnrn for I have taken 30 or 40 men and; fed 500 horses before breakfast more' than once. Weil, tomorrow is Sunday. I guess you all will go to church. Hope to be back to go with you all before so j very long. ! Ch, yes, I got one of my Herald and News the other day. Think I read every line, even the ads. Guess you all are expecting a bunch of news and when I am coming home. I have no idea at all when. This leaves me all o. k. Hope you all are getting along fine. Think you all might write oftener than you do until I come home. As it is bed time, I will stop fo^ this time. As ever, your son and.brother, Sergt. Herman N. Taylor, F. R. S.

Like Whittlesey. Delehanty is a city man. a New Yorker. Me is a dapper little architect. But' he conies of fighting b'lood. Me is a son of theInte Cant. Daniel Delehanty of the navy, who hopped down from the bridge of his gunboat o!T Matanzas. Cuba, in 1S08. and himself pointed the ffcm that sent the last Spanish tins toppling off the bnttlements of the old forts there. He is a nephew of Supreme < Vwrt Justice Francis B. I>eiehanty of New York. Before tile war he had studied in Paris, so when he arrived in Frnnce his knowledge of the language soon intwwi him nn thp rpcrimpntal staff as lauxirn M???j x..? , 0 Intelligence officer. But during that fierce month of fighting up through the guif-hlnsr<*d Argonne. as Delehanty says, reverting to the navy, "it was a case of all hands and the cook." and so ft was that on the night of this -pnr ticular exploit he was in command of n company of the Three Hundred and Eighth Infantry of the Seventy-seventh division, the draft division of New York city. vx Delehanty Ordered Up. Whittlesey, in command of his im-! mortal battalion, was leading the advance. With his grim jaw set and his shoulders hunched he was forming the tough spearhead of the Amer-' lean advance to the west of the Meuse. He had got orders to go ahead and he ftad done It. He had done it * a1" " -*^ Ka /iAnI/1 oeuer I.ilUIJ UllJUIIC luuu^m Ml WU?I ?and he had been surrounded. A dozen Ineffectual attempts had been made to pierce the screen of German machine guns and trench mortars that had filtered In behind him. When night fel! the colonel of the Three; Hundred and Eighth sent for Dele- i haoty. "Go up to the support." he said. "Take command of K company and , get Into touch with Whittlesey, i We're getting nothing but a pigeon ; message from him now." "it's tough country, that Argonne,"! Delelianty told the story later. "It's,hard country to get through in the daytime. It's worse at night. And when I got up to K company, ma- i chine gun bullets were flying like j locusts, and whizz-banjrs out of those | trench mortar^ were flopping over j every 30 seconds and blowing boys; to smithereens when they hit I! sent oat half a dozen runners. But; none of thero ever came back, j Finally I sent out two whole patrols ' with orders to reach Whittlesey by j different routes. Then I reported to j the colonel. Anything else meant J moving the whole company, and 11 had to ask him about that "Then every half hour or so he'd call on the telephone and ask me it I'd heard from these patrols. Finally, about midnight he couldn't stand It any longer. Oelehanty Got There. " 'Delehanty,' he said, 'you've got a hundred and seventy-seven men there with you. You take them all. You go up through the woods until you connect with Whittlesey and you keep at it until you do get him. if you only have seven men left when you get there."" And Delehanty got there?not with seven, but with the whole hundred and seventy-seven. But he frankly admits he was scared. "Well," he said, turning with a grin to Lieutenant Scott, General Scott's son, who was with him. "This is goodby, old kid." "Yeah," replied Scott, "it looks like good-bv." Delehanty called the company j round him. He told them what the orders were. Not a man flinched. "There's one chance of getting up 1 there," said the young captain. "If we go through the woods we'll I get lost and shot. But there's a railroad track running up that way. If we follow that we may get shot?but we won't get lost. It's single file and every man keep a hand on hie man ahead of him. Come on." And Delehanty led the file. A tiny | radio compass gave him the direction, j The railroad embankment had been shelled and machine-gunned for hours. By a strange streak of luck the Boche had decided to let it alone for a few minutes. And K company sneaked up that track between bursts, the whole 177 of them. Suddenly Dolehanty bumped into something. It was Whittlesey's battalion. . "Holy smoke!" he crifd. "I didn't know you were this close." "Sh! Sh!" rasped the quick answer. J Mfie rfocne is there ami. hit re him. ! tbec*?. He'll nenr you." * n.I lu* might | l.stv?? at that, for the nervy hand had j snieaktri through the single gap in j the Boehe ring. Rut the? had estab- f lished eon tart with Whittlesey. Got Valuable Information. One of the Whittlesey command had just killed }i German officer, lie had found upon him a map of the whole j neighboring woods, drawn up to the J last iriimite. It revealed the whole | problem that tlx* Americans had heen trying for days to solve in f?if? dark. Delehanty ras the rejrimenta} Intelligence officer. He sent this message hack to the colonel. "Have information of ?rreat impor- j tance. Shall I remain comtfir.nd K ; company or return? Am with Whit- j tlesey." And the answer came hack: "Return." So that is why Delehantv happened j not to he with the Whittlesey hat- } talion the next nijrht when th^y were j cut off for jrood a ad when thev stayed ent off for nearly a whole *reek. But | the map he hronpht hack from that j dead German officer was the map that enabled tne Ammcan nri^aue hiijiuv j to smash through to the ravine where Whittlesey's men were fishtins: and dying. Incidentally. It was the map that helped the Americans, too, to go far beyond. Tt was his nerve that took him throusrh for the last connection with WTitttlesey. Ft was his appreciation of the information he happened on that sent him hack again over the perilous trail. and it was mat mrormation mar eventually got Whittlesey out of his death ravine. "Delehanty." they say In the Seventy-seventh, "went through."

HE GOT BABY'S PICTURE Soldier Killed Soon After He Received the Photograph. Although he had never seen his baby, born after his departure for France. L,ient. RalDh S. Bush of June-" tlon City, Kan., received a picture of the little one just before he w^? killed in action, according to a letter to Mrs. Bush from a brother officer, Lieut. James C. Bod in. "Ralph had just received tttje photos of the baby and he showed them to all of us," writes Lieut. Bodin. "At noon (on August 9, on a long march toward Fismes) we received orders to move over across the railroad and river and attack the woods that run parallel with another railroad north *of it, but wpst of-Fismes. When all w \re across the Germans threw an artftlerv barrage on lis and around us. We kept moving to make less casualties. We had a few, and Lieutenanjr Bush was among.them. He was hit with a piece of shrapnel and killed instantly. He was ahead of his men, leading them on and through." FINDS OLD HORSE IN FRANCE Animal Recoanizes Former Owner Met on French Road.
