In a letter to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. George W. Hansen. 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.

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. .
Give my regards to all-

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

forefathers, the same old spirit of

this time you have changed your
minds.
Fathers used to speak with pride of

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

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

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.
Well. Dad. this leaves nie in the
