It baa been quite a while since I last wrote but when It rains 1 don't seem to be able to write any letters, and as It has bten raining most of the time lately my literary efforts naturally come to a standstill. It waa good weather here for about a week, then for the laat two weeks It has been sloppy and disagreeable. As I said before when It rains here it Just "pours." It is sure going to be dis agreeable over here this winter but I don't see any way out of it, for I don't think our big drive will come off before next year. Our fellows In the trenches are sure doing 'fine work of late. I some times wlsb I were with them In or der to get into things a little more, but I suppose as eomebody must be In this branch I might as well be In this aa In something else. I am probably doing more good In this than I would In any other brsnch, though I don't see how that Is pos sible for of late all I have been Jd Ing Is to dig my truck out of mud holes and there are sure plenty of thera over here. Sloce I wrote last we've moved once more, thle time about 80 miles from our last place. This place Is better than the one we left but still It eould bear a lot of Improving. There are two large buildings here for barracks, but they aren't large enough for all the men so some of them sleep In the hangars, bat the truck drivers sleep In their trucks. The bodies of their trucks are as big as a small room. They are about 6 feet wide and 12 feet long. They are covered by heavy canvas and when they are closed up tight they make a good jlace to sleep a lot better than tents snd better than the barracks here, for the barracks are Just alive with rats, some of them as big as small dogs. Some of the fel lows here sure do wake' up sudden ly when they feel the rats running over them. One fellow woke up the other night and saw 'a big rat sit ting upon the foot of the bed wash ing his face. ' A show made him hunt his hole In a hurry, Not long ago a bunch of us went up behind the lines for a wrecked plane. It had been shot down be hind the German lines, but they had since been driven back and the plane was on the allied territory. This was right around Albert about three days sfter the big advance there. There were lots of German rifles, etc., lying around but nearly all the "defunct" Germans had been removed, though there waa an un pleasant smell all around. We got several of the rifles out couldn't keep them. These trips are about the only excitement, as we haven't been near bombs for over a month. Must close for this time. Love to all. CLIFTON. CLIFTON W. BOOTH. Aviation Section, American Ex. F. KEEP AN EYE THE SUBMARINES On Hoard an American Destroyer In French Waters, Sept. 20. (Cor respondence of the Associated Press) Sharks and seagulls, the scaven gers of the sea have learned to fol low In the wake of the submarines and watch and wait for the fpod likely to come from the wreckage of merchant vessels destroyed by the German sea wolves. This fact has been observed by the commanders of American destroyers and is used as a clue to hunt down the Hun at sea. The presence of schools of sharks and flocks of seagulls puts the men of the American destroyers on the tip-toe of expectation when they are hunting for a periscope in the path of American transports. One com mander returning to port the other day said: "We saw a good many sharks and, flocks of seagulls and these, you know, are a pretty good sign-of submarines. ". "After several years of sinkings by submarines, the sharks and sea fowl have formed the habit of following In the wake of submarines knowing that food is likely to come from the wreckage. Whether It Is cargo thrown overboard from the freighter or wreckage thrown up from the tor pedo explosion makes no difference, the appearance of sharks and birds usually means that there -are sub marines around.". , . . . , SERMONETTE for SUNDAY CiKoiiililloiiHl Hiirrendor Unconditional surrender Is the word of the hour. It Is the unequlv ocal demand of bleeding Belgium, fearless France, Invincible Italy, bull dog Britain and altruistic America In their fight for world freedom. ' This Is no Idle cry that fallg to stand the test of analysis but a de mand based upon right and justice. It is right because the demand comes from those who have mad? the su preme sacrifice that they mlaht flic I,.,. k ..... , ,. for the helpfulness of those upon whom the demand Is Imposed. None Us Is this true In the case of the conquering JChrlst In His world conquest as He places the same terms before the whole human family, lie demands an uncondi tlonal surrender of as. all, and right fully so for He ha made a, sacrifice In the face of which none dare Ques tion His right of authority. More over, these conditions when met are for the development, betterment and benefit of those upon whom they are Imposed. Paul, the New Testament's pro lific penman, sets forth the whole philosophy of Christianity- in Gal. 2:20. "I have been crucified with Christ, and . It is no longer I that live fcut Christ llveth In me; and that lira which I now live In the flesh I live In faith, the faith which ig In the son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me." The central Idea of the Christ controlled life Is that of letting Christ use as. and not of ua using Christ; ChrlBt taking the Initiative in as. In writing to the rlghteoos at Rome the apostle says, "I beseech yon brethren, by the merclei of God, that you present your bodies a liv ing sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your spiritual Service." Our savior himself said. "Seek ye first His kingdom and His right eousness and all of these things shall be added unto you." A surrender to a rightful dictator and a blessing to the one surrendering. So then, in the fact of the impreg nable argument of the crucified and resurrected Christ and Hla proven promise of blessing, let us comply unreservedly the demand for uncon ditional surrender . made by the greatest leader of this world, even the Son of God, snd surrender whol ly to Him with whom we have to do. and. thus' not only make the world safe for democracy but make democ racy safe for the , world, that the "kingdoms of this world may Indeed become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.'
