A., and Just now out of the war son, and we are surely OLA D, for the trip has been a continual round of excitement. When but four hours out from a French port, we ran anto a reg lar school of submarines, and had a running battle for 43 minutes. W fired 12 shots from our six Inch guns, but do not know how many torpedoes were Shot at us. Anyway, we arrived In port with nothing amiss, but some of the superstructure of the ship was torn oown ry me firing of our guns. They In auch a position that the convoy could not; maneuver without betas di rectly In our line of fire. - "We lay in France but 48 hour, and coming: out had another narrow escape. We fired five shot this time and then ran off and left the sub to the destroy ers, which dropped around fifty depth charges, so if that sub got away It surely had a fun for ita money. "The French coast seems to be alive with German - subs now; This makes Sanders' fifth trip across, and after his sixth, he in going to try for a 20-day furlough and go home, he writes. 1 George A.

"So when this month has finished and next Tuesday's sun has set, I write with much regret, my office is to let. "Then I will pack my clothes away and don a suit of khaki gray, and dream with pleasure of the day when I shall get into the fray.
