"Happy" Wagner Writes to Home Folks at Spring Grove and T^ of Life "Over Ttwro* .From Louis G. Heidi? ' • The following are extracts from recent letters received by Henry G. Heinly of Spring Grove from his brother in service: Somewhere in France. Dear Brother Henry--Received your letter and was very glad to hear that you are all well. I am feeling fine and only want more mail to make me satisfied with life. No, I am not training any more, but working probably as hard as you are, altho the work will never kill me. I stood guard the last two nights and this morning and it is useless to try to tell you about the noise, as what I want to say I can't, but I have an idea what a shell sounds like when coming thru the air. Some of them are about six inches across and two inches long and are very heavy. I don't know just how much they do weigh, but can imagine, for they would almost knock a man down if orife hit him when shot from a gun six or seven miles away. One would be enough for me and I am thankftil that they have missed me so far. Be­ lieve me there is some noise when ten or fifteen of those six inch babies turn loose at an airplane. 1 can sleep as long as our own guns do the shooting, but when Fritz gets to throwing them over they make such a funny screech­ ing noise it's hard to sleep and some day they will naturally get us all mad and somebody will get hurt. Person­ ally, I haven't anything in particular against Fritz, but when I think of the things he has done and that he is the cause of us having to wear a gas mask, 1 get so blooming sore that I could spit in his eye. We have to carry our gas masks all the time and at night keep them where we can reach them quickly, as we never know when; he will send over a gas bomb or cloud, gas. Some day we will cram some of his own medicine down his throat, then he will realize what a war he started. Get Uncle Sam sore once, and he will do the job right. The engineers do all kinds of work, from building roads, barracks, piling lumber, loading cars, digging trenches, stringing barb wire and building dug­ outs to going over the top; also guard and nearly everything else from loading trucks at night to pitching up empty shells, but take it all in all, the work won't kill us, but all of us want to finish this and get home. Best wishes to yourself and fam­ ily. I am your affectionate brother, Pvt. Louis Heirily. , From Pvt. "Happy" Wagner ' Son of Frank J. Wagner writes home from somewhere in France: Dear Mother and All--Received your letter of Sept. 27 and was very glad to hear from you and was glad to get the money, npt that 1 needed it, but was glad to see a U. S. dollar bill again. Here we call it five francs. How are the roads back there? I just wish you could see some of the roads here. Why, a truck can hit thirty mile on them. We have four more trucks now and believe me they are on the go all the time. I have not had a chance to drive so far, as there are not enough trucks, The oldef fellows do the driving, while the new fellows ride. Not a bad job. Mother, I could tell you so much of this war that it woiid make your head swim. I don't want to say anything now,' but they are raising hell all right. I really believe that there won't be many Fritz's life after the war the way they are going now. It takes the Yanks to do it. Oh, it is a great war. I suppose the papers are full of it all the'time. Believe every­ thing you hear because it is true. Well, Julia, 1 was glad to get that birthday card. If you folks don't mind send me some paper and envel­ ops, for there is no Y. M. C. A. here. So everybody is well So far and I am glad to hear it. I don't knov; much to write, today. We have church every Sunday and 1 never miss it if I can help it.

The boys are betting that the war will be ever by Christmas or New Year's. 1 was a great old sport and bet twenty five francs, that is $5.00, with that friend of mine. I am betting that it will oe over New Year's and 111 make a bet with you if you are game. Ill bet you a dollar, are you game, dad? Be an old sport, 1 know you are. I see so many Fritz's here. They cofhe by the 1,000. We have lots t>f fun around here. I am rather sleepy today, as I was out all, night. Oh; this is a trig war,idad.

Dear Sister Lillie--Well, how are you? 'We had our first frost last night and it sure was cold. It is very damp here and we feel the cold more than in the states. Well, what do you think of the war now? It will not last much longer. I can see that the way the paper looked last night and today. I think we will be home about next year, in May or June. Well, Lillie,*how is everything? ^ am fine and hope to see you soon. I am very glad the war looks as it does and I think I will be home some day. I am feeling fine and have not been sick but a few days since I left the states ad T ant very glad that I can say that I have been off but two days on account of sickness since I • have been in the army. Write soon. 1 am in a hurry and have to go, so good­ bye. With love, Joseph.
