Ex- : L-optinjr portions omitted pursuant to the censorship regulations, these let- ' tors follow: "October 2. ' One of the beauties of France is the color of its ink.

The patches o li .voods which oven tm the dullest, davs uive all the colors of the rainbow, ivoro gorgeous in the sunlight anil s the wide stretches of fields seemed t' iavc more kinds of green and brown than ever before. Aeroplane Battle Overhead. "The long sweep of road carried us through, one after another, little towns, all the same and all interest- ' big. The last part of the trip was made very interesting by an airplane fight going on. overhead. The number of plane soaring in the clouds did not seem to have men in them. They were like a flock of swallows at sun- r set circling carelessly. Only the shrap- j nol bursts from the anti-aircraft guns | did not fit into the picture. "The hist few villages we passed ' were all ruins. We came back I through them by moonlight. Nothing but bare bones of houses standing, with the moonlight showing through their blank window holes and doors. Weeds had grown thick within and j between them and seemed to be the 1 only life of the town. Our big cai;- \ ' sons rumbled through the quiet strccs jl without awakening anything buf'l echoes. Occasionally we would pa a bunch of Frenchmen, who wou! 1 should ' Kamerade,' Americaines,' a 5 we passed?or some American troop ' who shouted various other things.

A few days ago I got off with another lieutenant and an * interpreter to visit a nearby town with ? a big cathedral.

"When we reached the cathedral wo i moored our teods and went in. Ho t pronounced it very ancient but couldn't 1 say much more about it. Hut it was well worth the journey. We spertt : an interesting hour in and about it, 1 lookintr at the curious carvings and ! trarproyles. One of the (jarffoyles was 1 a great monkey with a Bible in one hand and scratching hifyhead with the other. All of the carved saints were gone from their pedestals but one, who stood in solitude over the great central arch. They were probably destroyed during the revolution. "On the way back we succeeded in finding our way across the ridge. There was a beautiful sunset with a casual flock of French planes soaring in the middle, of it. Even with the planes, the fields seemed to be miles away from any disturbance like war. As we wound our way down into our little town at dusk it was hard to realize that the distant thunder was the noise of guns. (Joing From_ To? "October 18.
