At last I cast my mask aside And bare the hate I used to hide. Now to myself I can be true ' "And do the deeds 1 lore to do. 1 am a German. The stolid kindly man Is dead; A ruthless beast Is born Instead. The oars are down the beast is free To roam at will on land and sea. I am a German. I love to send the good ships down And see the helpless children drown. And when the mothers scream In pain I laugh at struggles all in vain. I am a German. The poison gas and liquid fire (Have satisfied my heart's desire. It's sweet to see men reel and choke And fight against the deadly smoke. I am a German. .And sometimes In a sheltered place, I spy a baby's dimpled face. Ah! then, I feel a fiendish joy. And kill it quick. If it's a boy. ' I am a German. I poison well so more may die; No pity lives in such as I. The simple homes I burn at night. And In this pillage find delight. I am a German, The sick and wounded feel my hard. ' And when I see a Red Cross band .. I straightway set upon their track ' Because I know they cant strife hack. I am a German. I rape and ravish, rend and tear; With hideous noises fill the air. The loudest screams of pain and fear Are sweetest music to my ear. I am a German. There is no law of God or man, But I will break it if I can.

Somewhere in France, "There's a Lilly," and I am It. 1 Well, heah ah Is, and I've seen sights and more sights. We slopped at a rest camp In England and then at another over here In France and finally arrived here where we are billetted and will have school. As I am down on the bill of fare, or rather meaning table, as chauffeur, that means schooling for me. I've ridden on all kinds of conveyances and had all kinds' of accommoda tions. England is certainly a beautiful little place the quaintest, quietest, homiest little country I've ever seen so tar, much more so than France, as everything there Is green, and here they haven't had the rain and are In need of it. ' These old coun tries are certainly old fashioned, es pecially England, which is Just about fifty years behind the times In buildings, dress, people and every thing else. Look out over the top of town there "and the buildings are all even' and the box cars, say, they look like wheelbarrows that had Just begun to grow and had been stunted In early youth. Say folks. I read of the time the Americans had. talking and trying to understand in a foreign country and now that I've experienced it, it's worse than that. There were two T. M. C. A.' fellows on the ebat we came orer on, and they had French lessons every day and gave us things that would be of everyday use to us. -'-sentences;- greetings and all that Junk. I'm having an awful time with French, but have found out one thing the only way is to get in with some French family and spend some of the time In their home. Have a conversation book and that helps a lot. As I understand it a lit tle better than most of the fellows I have to act as an interpreter. We are billeted here in the center of an old French village and the peo ple are Just as hospitable as they can be, and treat us fine. The na tives give us lots of blackberries and wine, which they drink in the place of water, and they'll go through the motions of washing and point to an ox, then give us wine in stead. They work oxen here like they did in the states years ago, and some of the queerest conveyances can be seen, and talk about the youngsters being smart. They cer tainly use their heads for something besides a hat rack. Little young sters only five and six can read all kinds of big words, and also the English, and know what it means. The little bits of Frenchy tykes would pull off their hats when our colors went by. Both here and in England the children Just line the street begging for souvenirs and money. When we hit France we were sure glad to stop, as we were tired of traveling. When we left the fort all the fellows were keen to travel especially on the transport, but be lieve me, after a few days at sea, they lost all their longing for an ocean voyage. Personally, l wasn i sick a minute from the time we left until yet, so you see I was in luck. t We got some mail from the head quarters and I received three of your letters that were sent to the fort about the time we were leaving the states, and I realize now that I re ally never appreciated letters be fore, as the more I see of these old countries, the better T like the old U. S. A. Went Into a colffeor establish ment and had a madame give me a shave and it was an- experience that one can't place a value on un til he has had the experience . The chairs are straight ones, with a back that moves up and down and a head rest fastened on It so you sit up straight and lay your head back on the rest till you get no rest, and it feels like your neck was breaking off. I held It there white the mad- ame' wielded the brush, and filled my eyes and nose and ears and mouth, and not being satisfied wfth the first lather, she '.proceeded to re peat the operation about four times and then went to work with the ra- Izor. After she had succeeded In pulling part of them out (meaning whiskers) she got a hose and bulb and sprayed ' my face and then rub bed soap over that, not forgetting to get some in my eyes. She then rubbed lather off with a towel and only charged me half a franc for all the tortures inflicted. In the little regiment where our regiment Is billeted there is an old church erected about the time the Indians ! were discovering Columbus and from the looks of some of the PER52Nf1L LOQrlL l "Saul-Flush."

This 1s a grape country and eat ing grapes which are the only ones they are allowed to sefl are higher than I ever knew them to bo any time or any place, but I'll admit they are fine. Gee, r Just got on the outside of two vaniTIa ice creams and a choco late bar, so I begin to feel like I did back there. We got paid the other day and It was in francs and cen times, and I had such a wad I felt like a first national bank . The people here are sure .great. As we go by on the trucks and cars they come to the side of the road and throw peaches and bnnches of grapes. Over here the people don't have a lot of phrases to express the same thing, but on the contrary, make one phrase or word do tor sev eral meanings. " Instead of saying get up," or "beat It," or "let's go," they say "aller pronounced "al lay" and they say It to their horses, oxe, dogs, kids and to each other. The -exact wording Is to go efmple and easy, huh? Will have to cut this out as It is time to ramble to the barracks, oh pardon me, I mean "aller." Love to everyone.
