V- have the guns all ou tiu.'k, the ligises are all behind. We are at the jumping off place. I am with the Ijiing battery, noth ing tq do hit f(t and sleep now, Ve have b pn here four days right tin the bi'cler' of ueulral zone ready to step pvi-r and if they don't come across well, we will be the first to cross ihe lire. All I -have wilt u e U' my ltd and a small clothing roll, I have just one houi's woik in the morning, that is doing a Kttle orienting of iimpa and king with the iiibtiumeuts-a lit t It just to keep in trim. The boyn trc eager to go over and have Ron e exciteuieut, hut there will be n resistence. Germany will i.ut bU.ow fight this time, bui I don't think we will over go, they wib sign first. ' . The Col. is coming to look ovei the camp, so I will have to htop till ho goes, the old nut. Well he is still here but harmless Ui- morning so ctii wi'Me HtlJf U10l$. By the way, you asked me one about the wclfaro workers such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army and Y. M. C A- Well y all were- gop,, ouly some were better Uiau others. Now for the fighting men the Pied Cross and Salvation Army can't be beat, and the S.O. S. that is in the rear, the Y. M. C. A. did good word, Anyoi.e that says anything agpinsl tie girls that came over here is no American, that is all I can say and will tell any man or woman the satire thai says it. They came over heie and went through hell for tj5, so why should any rtd blooded man say a word agaimt tlifiii. The Y. M. C. A. did iiavt a st.w crooks in it a while but that happens any pljic?, so what goo does -it to croak about alien 1 hear a man shout. I think he witils something lor nothing. The Red Cross and Salvation Ar ny did fine work, the best in thu world. Tho Y. M. 0. A. is doing fine. Toe gills are seen right now going along the line with a team of cons trying to give the boys hot chocolate and ctke, you know they cau't git around any other way, just now all the troops are on the move and they get a car once in a whilp, The K. of C. are a good bunch too I can't say a word against any body that tries to help in this war, aveu if they didu't help me any, they possibly helped some on. iu the rear zone.
