ENGINEERS IN BIG BATTLE eat Jh of SHELTER OF ANY nwuio BOYS IN FRANCE MEN The Gr day Sale TIES Corporal Kirkpatrick Tells of Part One Hundred and Tenth Regi l ment Took in Six Day Fight. ' Amer Akin, a vre known Beaver ton boy. writes the following letter from France : "W are now In an old position that hu not been used for some time. The U. 8. has relieved most of the French, so I think there will be something doing ! soon. We live In deep dugouts inai are Just about as safe aswe have ever seen and the first time we have lived In them, but It has been so wet that we are glad to get shelter, it makes no differ ence what kind it Is. "We have been listening to the "music' of Frlts's shells for a few days and we have been quiet and not saying a word and some of these fine days the tune Will change. - "We were out cleaning some German sleeping powders this morning. We have the most of the shells named. "I have just found that someone has placed two boxes of fuses under our bed, but a-little thing like that will not bother without we give It a kick while ' wo are having a nightmare. "We saw a fine air battle this morn ing. A German airplane came over and got through the barrage that waa trying to stop him. We were all watching him when all of a sudden there came out of the sky above him an allied machine. Just like a flash he swooped down on the German. They exchanged a few shots nd then Mr. Frits turned his nose to the earth and Just before he reached the ground his machine caught on fire. He fell about a mile from us but we could not go over to see It I don't think there waa anything left but ashes for we could see the smoke for a long time. "It Is quite a sight to see and very exciting. Just like a ball' game. We all yelled like wild men. But there are other . times when the wrong man Is brought down. It is only a chance after alL" The following letter has been re ceived from Corporal E. R. Kirkpatrick, i On Hundred Tenth engineers, from a rest barracks, somewhere in France. "Was in a six-day battle. Our division took the Prussian guards back a flying and all they used, were machine guns and artillery. My platoon was used as ' mine sweepers in the second wave. This lasted for-the first day, then we worked aa a regiment Sixteen of us were sep arated for a day from the platoon and we surly had some lively time of It ' Got away In machine gun fire and where the tanks were. Our -company repaired roads and bridges under heavy artillery fire. Laid under the edge of a hill for i two days with Frits trying to shell us out, some lively. Won't tell of the sights of the battle, too awful. "We went out early Saturday morning In the rain, and mud knee deep in . places backing up the doughboys. From here we advanced a half a mile and laid under a hill In heavy artillery fire. The doughboys were run out and were falling back to the supports, as they moved faster than the artillery could be brought up, so we went 'over the top' under heavy shell fire and dug two lines .. of trenches. The infantry were more ' -- than glad to get into them and we ; stayed with them. Were in these trenches two days and were altogether five days and nights without any sleep : nd with plenty of work, so we are about all in now. "I lost from 15 to 20 pounds as I. was still soft after being in the hospital mo long. We have had to use our gas masks freely. Have hiked 60 kilometers since I came out of the line and am now in a tiny village resting." Corporal Kirkpatrick was formerly with the supply department of the O-W. B.AN. "Have been transferred from the tele- I phone outfit to a radio section and like It a lot better, says John Appiegate or Toncalla in a letter to his mother, Mrs. Laura Appiegate. "Am on reserve at the front now, this being my second time up. Was at the front about 30 days at the beginning of the big drive in July and had some experience with al most everything the Germans put out i Including gas, machine guns, airplane i bombs, and the big sheila Was in the front line a couple of times before, but ' very seldom had to get that close with 1 . our radio outfit Have been having some thrilling experiences. My station was blown up three times In one week. A sharp shooter tried to get me. but I am all on the Job. I think I am good for most anything that comes now espe cially when Frits Is headed the other I . way. I have about BO men In my section. "We had peach pie for dinner today. which is something unusual in the army. Now, mother, you need not worry about 1 me bringing home a French girl, for in ' the last two months I haven't seen very many of them. This part of the coun try Is Just about as you say Toncalla is , almost depopulated. Can t speak French j very well yet Just enough to get some thing to eat when we are where it can be bought It is raining to beat the band today and has been for several days." - "If am still with the big guns. I am so clpse to one that It makes my head hurt every time tney lire it says George Merrill of Baker, now in the medical department. One Hundred Sev- enteenth engineers. "We heard this aft ernoon that Germany had accepted Wil son's terms and was retreating back to their own boundary. Of course, they were doing that any way and would have ' continued to do so against their will, so they might Just as well retreat willingly as It is cheaper. It is good news any- way and I hope it la true. . "You asked me how I lost my watch. I had. It in a bag with a lot of other 1 things and as it waa too heavy to carry X put it on a wagon and the Germans sent over an artillery barrage and blew np the wagon and everything on it I wasn't very far from it at the time. " I waa under heavy shell fire for about three hours that night, but waa lucky enough to come out without a scratch. I didn't have any time to think about my bag. All I was thinking of was where the next shell was going to light ' "We lost one of our medical boys that night He had one foot blown off and the other one badly torn. I guess he is back in the states now as the last II heard ot him he was able to walk with cratches and an artificial foot Out of I 80 medical men we have bad four wounded, two gassed and none killed.
