week and left to be published, for
the benefit of his friends here, a
letter just received from her son,
William. Everybody in the state is
proud of the Third Oregon, and
Lents people are especially proud of
their boys who have distinguished
themselves in service. A very trim

clipping from a French publication
telling of the American troops’ first
important victory, at Amiens, are
other inclosures in the letter, which
is very dear to the mother waiting
at home and longing for the end of
I the war in a speedy victory. The
letter follows:

as can be. I have been ‘over the
top’ for my first time and. believe
me. things certainly were exciting,
and we made things very exciting
for the Boche—and then some. It’s
certainly a great life, if you don’t
weaken. I would like to tell you
about the French life, but can't. The
most important thing in this drive
was that the American forces were
for the first time launching a big
attack without the support of the
French troops, and 4the men that
were launching the attack were the
first ones to set foot on French soil.
I was transferred just in time to be
one of the boys that went over the
top and I certainly am proud of it.
“Clarence Johnson, also from
Lents, was the only other boy from

went ‘over the top.’ He is in Com­
