J. J. Hesler. Ft. Sill, Okla.

March 7, 1918. Mr. J. J. Hesler, Carbondale, 111.

friend: It has been quite a while since I received your letter so I will remind you I often think of Mr. Hesler even though I didn't answer your letter any sooner. I have been sent down here from Ft. Leavenworth as an instructor in the Infantry School Arms, the Liaison department. My duties are to teach the officers assigned to this department how to telegraph.

You see an officer in the infantry has to know something about the line of communication as well as how to fight. I am only assigned here for a short time and think I will be back in.Leav- emvorth when my company is ordered to France. I am very anxious to go to France and if I don't go I will be disappointed in my undertaking. Hag a letter from Herbert Tygett and must say I was agreeably surprised to learn of his advancement as division claim agent. If any one on the St.

Louis division of the I. c. deserved a promotion it was Herbert. I am trying get a commission and may get to go to the next officers' training camp to be opened in May. I suppose the government taking over the railroads has effected yo.u a great deal.

This is a big camp. There are in all something like 50,000 men encamp-ed here. You can gear the big guns firing all day. See the aeroplanes flying around like birds in the air. In fact you can get some idea what this war is.

We also have the balloons here. It is quite a sight to see all the men doing their- different stunts -and if I am not mistaken the Kaiser is going to get the surprise of his life 'when our boys get' in action. I saw a battery of heavy artillery a few days ago and a man never looked upon a finer lot of men; They were all big fellows and. young. It seems a crime to kill such men off but it has to be done.

Wouldn't it be a blessing if this terrible war could end before so many of our fine-young men are killed. We all know that Germany can't win and in fact must not and just think, if they could be made to see how terrible it i to carry this war on, ending it all before all of the man power of -Germany is sacrificed.
