Sergeant rtlchard Hansen, former local boy who has been overseas with the 142 Infantry (the Tiilrd Oregon) tells some very Interesting news. In part bis letter IS a a follows: On the 10th we attended the Bel gian celebration In honor of the birth day of King Albeit. The ceremony was held In what was formerly a very pretentious hotel, but is now a Bel gian hospital. There were much speech-making by French and Bel- elan officers and much (shouting ol "Vive la France," "Vive la fselgique." "Viva la Amerique." "Vive les allies," and vlve everyone else even "Vive la Chlnolse." The national anthems of the various allies were played at Intervals by the band, "La Morseil laise." "t Brabanconne" (of Bel glum). "God Save the King" and "lAs Draoeau d'Etolle." which last Is the national anthem of the United States They played this last more as a prayer a hymn. One of the most expressive things I saw was the headline in a French paper. Type about two inches high right across the top of the sheet said simply, "Cest Flni. . It Is finished And I suppose it Is In a practical sense. But as Ihe Blare and Stripes nuts it "It Is not all over but the shouting it Is all over but the work ing." Of course you people will be won dering when we will be home. Toil do not wonder any more about that than we do, and you probably know ad much or more about It than we do. I can't think of anything more lust now and It Is dinner time. Will close with love to everyone alwaj-s. but to yourselves particularly on this date. Tour son. RICHARD. Paul Wallace got a machine gun bullet through the legs fcut has re covered now. Ho was at St. Mlhlel and In the Argonne. Frank Mason was commissioned and soon after got two teeth shot out bv a. machine gun. Most of those you know are all right. Sgt. Hichard O. Hansen. Co: M. 162 Infly, American E. F. C. i:. BOHEBS WAS OX BATTLE f'UOXT FOl'lt, MONTHS November, 24 was Father's Day with Ihe Yankee soldiers and below is the letter received by C. L,. Bowers. 507 Garden street, from his son, Private Charles K. Bowers. 146th F. A.. Batt- E. an old Troop D boy. He was on the battle front four months. The loiter follows: My Dear Dad: Well, this day has been set aside for all the boys to write to their fath ers, so I will try and write you me best I can, for It Is awful cold today and I am somewhat tired. Well, the war Is over and I will soon be home again, and here is a' boy who will be glad for we have gone through some awful bard bat tles over here. I have been on the front four months, was In the second battle of the Marne (at Chateau Thierry) from July loth to Sept. 1st the St. Mlhlel salient from Sept. 1st to Stpt. 18th, and the battle of Argonne from Sept. 18th to Nov. 11th. I was on the battery ammunition train. We hauled from the rear to j the guns SO shells to a load. I drove j truck and liked It pretty good, only , tvhen Frits would try and drop a few' on us, then we would have to beat k as fast as possible. I may be on my way home by the time you receive this from me. and I hope that I am for we have done our duty and want to come as soon as possible. How Is everybody In Pendleton? 1 guess everybody Is feeling pretty grood now. I tell you I am for one. I received a letter from mother a few days ago, but it Is so cold I won't write to her today. If you don't hear from me very often you know I am on my way and will be home soon. We are awful busy getting even thing in shape to move. I will tell you all about It when I come home. .

My Dear- Father: As November. 24th ! the day set aside to write Dad's Christmas and victory letter, as Mother's day was last May, I will get busy with my pen and paper. I guess tha Idea, Is to let the old man know that we haven't forgotten him -entirely and that his boy has proved to be a chip off the old block, our dads have never toeen whipped ind their sons have proved not only to dad. but to the Huns u well that It takes more than Jorty years of training to even think they had a show of whipping us. We have also proved we were made of the same old nerve of steel as our forefathers, the same old spirit of -, Dodge Brothers Farmers f ar saves money for Uie farmer by saving lime.

It will pay ou to visit us and examine this car The haulage cost is unusually low and 1,' If you fathers had thought your boy. never had the .goods as you bovs of "61 and '8 had, I guess by this time you have changed your minds. Fathers used to speak with pride of the days of '61 and '98. ami oays oi their youth and bravery, so that Old Glorv should still wave in the land of Freedom. And now what do they say? Every father that has a son over sea or in the service of the flag? Are they not proud of us? Every one of them claims thut his son alone, could whip e. whole company of bodies by himself and do It every dav of the week and two companies on' Sunday. Just like their sons ten of their' daddy's experiences of 61 and '98.-- My father of the blue in ki Kome of the other boys' fathers of the gra' their sons units under one flag and both In khaki fight like hell for the U.

But still down in his heart he is glad that his son wasn't afraid to die on the field of honor, to stand and fight, light to death, rather than give olio inch to-the Huns. Just let some one say that thut father's son did not have the goods: right then Dad Is going to battle. Just the same as we would battje when some one would say that our dads never had the goods.
