Oenuaqr1! acoeptance of the armistice terns impoesd
by the Allies and t*** United States m trans a rnssstinn of
hestilities for the ptresent, but until the peace terms have
been accepted the war will not be oyer; and should Ger
many refuse the evnntual peace conditions, the fighting
wooM he resumed. During' the several months which
mast elapse beta* the final agreement as to peaee terms,
the Allied armies must maintain a ceaseless vigilance,
| sad must be kept in readln?s to enforce the terms of
peace. *
.
More than 2,000,000 American troops overseas must
be maintained in the field; must be fed, clothed, armed,
supplied, and fully prepared tor any eventualities. And
even after peaee Is formally declared many months will
be required to bring home the gallant troops whose pres
ence and whose brilliant valor in action sealed the fate
of the armed foroes of the Central Powers, insured the
oollapse of Germany, and in truth helped make the world
safe for democracy. The activities of our navy/ toe,
most continue unabated, as well as many other war
activities.
It is manifest, therefore, that as our army and navy
ainst continue their work, so must civilian America exert ,
itself until peace is finally affected and the troops are
brought back. It Will require immense sums of money
ttd a vast amount of labor and materials to maintain the
*rmy and navy and thus to insure the triumphs attained
through the sacrifice of precious lives and, blood. We can
not afford to relax prematurely. To that end, the people
of America must continue to lend their money to the
government and to save igr victory, in thesame spirit of
Patriotism and determination which manifested itself
"fcile hostilities were in progress, and which in no small
*?8Tee is responsible for the splendid triumph of Allied
ws.
?
The war saving* oampslfi, ar a result of which the
woms* and children of America have already loan
<* vast sums of money to the gnvw ament, mm* tmtim*
ushated. The people ef Anasrioa must oesstiuue to
thrift and to buy war savings stamps te tfae limit
* resources, and in this way pnrvide funds which
aation must have to inens* the frstts of the victory.

will make it a sort of a review of m.V
sta\ oyer here.
When we arrived in France ration *
.were, real scarce tnv the1 first few u*J^'
and Jerry would tome aver bombing
ut night and observing In the d?j' time,
but the anti aircraft shrapnel gu?* would
usnall.v make him disappear in about
half a minute. After * few day* we
left for nearer the line,. Walking HK?t
of the wa.V with considerably ?v?r lU0
pounds of junk on our backs,
dnyaontv about one-third of the toonct*
would reach their destination together.
' Thru we " HraaU town tor ,
weeks training. 1 took up signaling and
K<?t to where 1 eould take ten of twelve
words a minute on the buaaer. and In
I c:n?e of heavy casualties In the signal
I hatallloo, I may do signalling ?? the
I line. I'sed to copy parts of ines.sageS
I (official reports) from Paris by wireless,
I hut of course couldn't ? make sense ?OUt
I <f them. Flash lanterns and buzzers
I are used mostly for signalling. Teh
I ph. me and telegraph instruments ran >e
I reiid b.V .l?>vv with an iiisUUiuent he
I has *a( ?,<**> yards distance, and it was
I fmlte W puzzling and serious proposition
I when he would Ket the allied messages
I a* soon asMhe allies. The next move
I we made was a Ion* hike again up to
ahout .10 miles back of the line. A
along there was one of the inrtst we!
I fortitied parts of the liue. If you looked
I verv clo><o yon could see that machine
I !? mi nests, t rein-lies, long range guns
I and the like were stuek around ever>
I where and were well Lcamoufiagvd. < am
I Oiillage is one of the most important
I thing* ?>? the army. The way the big
I suns are usually camouflaged is by a
I big piece of chirkfui wire about
I stretched over them in an irregular shape
1 ami- woven in with place* of green cro^
I 'cus. thick over the center no that )t
M not east a well defined shadow to
I be photographed by the airmen. Alter
I we had stuek around there for a while
I doing gas drill mauouvers we took over
?a section of the liue for a few (lay*.
I and the German* threw ?ome shell* on
I the road the night we were golhg up.
I Nations. water and sleep Were pretty
I scarce up the line. You sleep in the
I day time1 ? and have to be j *fl,e*L
I awake soou in the morning. The ^sont
[ line was ordinarily safer than, the sup
I port or reserve line. He cgn always
| hear the pop-pop-pop of the machine
I gun and you get your head below the
I parapet before the bullets colne which
[ Sfuud like they go right through your
I whiskers. I aaw a little black bolloon
I ahout ten feet In diamoter going acrofcs
I tu the German lines to distribute pror
paganda telling the troops how mauy
I Americans were in France and how many
I were arriving every month. It ^ dn?w
I si nie teriffie Lewis gun fire and did not
last long. One night, too, we :wm .m
I a pretty heavy gas clpud which killed
all the grass and rats around the trench
I and made our rifles look like they had
been laying in the weather foiva month
| <>r so. But J w*? ready for it in plenty
of time. Yotf can get your gas mask
on, and adjust it- in five seconds without
very much practice. We cajne out of
the linn again and were concealed^ pret
ty well and didn't get much shelling
except what shrapnel that, was intended
for an observation balloon pretty close
by. After a whilo it was brought, down,
but both the 'officer and sergeant major
got down In their parachute and were
given their ninety day furlough tor it.
Not long afterwards I went to South
ern. France where lights burned as if
no war was going on and. you did not
have to jump into shell holes to dodge
airnlane bbnrbs. I attended a bayonet
and musketry school but <lld*rt likff" it
very much and was glad to get bark
with mv outfit iu time for
have the Germans out of their trench^
now, for thirty or forty miles. A11 ^
towns which are sometimes only three
or four mile? apart have been torn down
by the guns and hills every few hundred
yards were covered -with she^l holes and
u,.w ?ud. thTO yju oould ece r?HJ
still lying there. You liM* to admire
him \vhen you see -where he has stayed
with his Maxim In a little brick honse
bv the road until long after his com
rades have gone and a bullet ha? split
open the top of his head. And h^was
thinking all the time he wan on the
right side. . . .
One night a day or ho before the
fatal or lucky 10th we bad dug in on
one bank of a railroad cut and it wan
whispered around that we would retake
a position next morning that another
outfit had to gire.up. We were awaken
ed a couple of hour* J>efore day and
were issued two extra bandoleers (7)
and some hand grenadea and moved out
to a village a few hundred yards away.
Then our barrage opened up with a
steady roar of 39's for an hour or so
and the enemy aant over hi" counter
barrage, knowing about where we were
located, and we had to tay perfectly
still so when his plane* would come over
he could not send back the range by
wireless or drop bombs on n*. We were
the "moppers up" and after while wc
got the order to move out again, and
nee. that no machine guns were left to
hit us from behind. Our first objective
had been deserted before we got there
*s nottyng much could live In the bar
rage wc had pot on It. I went into
one house and onee or twice I tripped
into a piano wire And heard an explos
ion like a hand grenade, but did not
know that it was a shall bnrating /pot
sHe. The Boche has a trick of leav
ing a wire witli the key Hng to a hand
grenade tied to It, So you will trip ovfr
the wife* ami .make the grenade explode.
On going into! the back yard, I found
I was surroiijAded fry a wire tSn oe moat
too high to get aver and hi* barrage
to keep ns from being reinforced was
all the time catching up with me, and
I threw my Junk over the other side
and managed to climb over. After a
while we got to a line of trenches just
outside MMtber town and *tooke bar
rag* wax placed ot it_frr the artillery
to keep the enemy from seeing ?* come
in. After a few minute* of shooting
