"I am still In the same place. It
Is In a vory quiet part ot Franco and
up to dato we hnvo seen no action,
with tho exception of. what wo saw
on the ship which brought us over.
However, wo nro working hnrd every

"Personally I would prefer to have
moro active scrvico and I have made
application on several occasions for
a transfer to the front. I am await
ing action on my latest request for
a transfer, and naturally I am hop
ing It will be approved this time.
"I havo had very llttlo news from
Ilend. Tell Mr. Mullarkey that It
Is a great little town and that I can
not get back any too soon to suit me.
Yet I am afraid It will bo a long tlmo
before wo are able to go back. While
everything has ben progressing In
our favor of late thoro will probably
bo a cessation ot activities boforo
long, nnd thoy aro not likely to bo
renewed bofore spring. I would liko
to see tho good work contlnuo and
sco it end before spring, but there
Is no chanco of that. Wo will bo
