In a letter to a family friend, Mrs. Chancey Gell, 701 North Church, he makes some interesting com ment on the war. He writes in part: "There is much I could write but little of interest. After these few years of war one cas ually reads the news and thinks nothing of a thousand or more lives lost. This was best illus trated ... In the B.A.F. by news of organizations regarding a postponement of the invasion until Germany had a chance to surrender, as if lt would accom plish the purpose of war. I should like those leaders to spend a week or so at the front and witness the truth. There was a time when the German was a clean fighter, but no more. Their murdering of our first aid men by small-arm sharpshooters, and In such cold blood, has caused a hate that none of us here will ever over come. It Is no wonder that we are convinced only a dead Ger man Is a good German. I am glad I had the opportunity of making a few good Germans, too, and will be at it again soon. As long as I must be over here, I prefer it that way. I am up and around and busy helping the patients who are less for tunate. The endless rows of beds and criplcs is a sight the strikers back there should see. I read to a boy who has no eyes and one leg gone, another with both legs off, and many other such cases. The hospital once had a pretty yards. In it are several varieties of palms and the most beautiful ginkgo which in itself Is a rare botanical spe cimen." ' Mt. Angel Tech. Sgt.
