Dear is Xmas evening so I am going to write you of my hist week's work. First I want to sav that my Xmas in Genicourt a town about ten miles from Verdun and one which has been all shot to pieces.

Tlie on which we came was the one Verdun It runs along hi 1 sid-e of the Meu.u 1 river, at pres- nl 1 am able to look at the small i am for it is nothing more. Well, we arrived here safely and had lo fix up a house for ourselves.

We got one and a better one hav-e not lived in since being in France. It is the old officers quaiters of a field hospital and consists of four roms wilh three boys in three of the rooms and two in the other. There are two oilier boys in our detachment but they stay in another place. Sunday I enjoyed myself more than any other day that I have spent in France. I walked about ten miles to Verdun and saw a city which has been in I'm over four years.

There is not a building that has not been hit fiom one to fifty times; in fact it is almost level to the ground. The railroad station and Cathedral are all shot to pieces. After looking over the city we went up to Dead Man's Hill. Words can- no! d'll how il looked. Shell holes so close you could step from one to another; bones of dead men of France and Germany, laying all around and every shell hole was the grave of one or more heroic men.

Kicked two sho-os and the foot fell out of one of them All kinds of ammunition, helmets, guns, laying all around. The top of this hill is as far as the Germans ever pot and is the one on which the Crown Prince lost his mirk army. 1 a German helmet which I am going to try and send home. There is one village on the hill, which has been leveled to the ground, that you can hardly tell that there was one there. I received my Xmas box and the camera which you sent me, and appreciated it so much.

1 can certainly make good use of it now and you will be interested in the vk'ws laterd. Thanks ever so much. 1 hope you all hod a most joyful for 1 have enjoyed myself con- i Mdering. It snowed today, so we had a white Xmas over hen-. You may be interested to know that my work is salvaging of all kinds of ammunition.

Will close and go to bed for 1 am writing by candle light and using my basin to write on. Your loving son, Austin Parker Anderson L'dn. Army Ammunition and Artillery Park, A P. O. A.

Everything going well as could be expected under Don't look for many letters for it is too cold to write much. We have a here but it is always crowded and one is exposed to the Flu in it. So i keep out. I received the Xmas Box ah-o one from Elmer and believe me they were certainly appreciated. They come day after Xmas.

Things like that looks mighty good to a fellow over hero. Thanks for the same. Perhaps I can do that much for you sometime, am the only fello-w 1 know of that received boxes. 1 can lie down now on the floor in nYy corner of the barn and chow gum and blow my nose to my hearts content. Xnras was the same as any other day here except that they gave as each three cigars.

Some fellows had anoth-cr dream and put in the paper that we had plenty of turkey. The babjy girl is some surprise. I am anxious to see her. I am as crazy about kids ever. No doubt she brings much happiness.

With no- decision bouts, -particuarly short ones, high-class boxers are often in- cjlined to "two-stlep" throug'h them With a capable refree, called upon to give a decision, the boxer must lose his reputation if he doesn't do his best. TTie only objection I ever knew being made against decisions was the chance of ganvblors getting to boxers or the referee. This should be and is answered by the watchfulness of capable promoters and referees.

There must be a reward in every competition. You and I could not play casino for fun alone, and while boxers follow the game for a living, for love of it and for the sport it ihe greatest spur to their work in the ring is the decision. pomoters, referees, managers and boxers, but those who have the power in their hands to make or unmake it. (The End.) Relic of Long-Past Age. While cutting peat, in the Lelthen headwater area, the shepherds unearthed a horn, which may have belonged to RON primi-gomis or Bos longifroris, the wild oxen that roamed' over Britain from the glacial age to near historic times.

It was found at a depth of four feet from tho surface, and the shepherds also averred that there was a small patch of brown hair attached, which is quite probable, as the pent would act as a preservative.

This city is between Nice and and is sure a fine place.

It is just like tfoinn; South in the States. The sun has been very warm today and tho wind is high but pleasant. We are living in a line law Hotel which costs the Government SfiOOfl Francs a year for rent. From my room. I can see the Mediterranean Sou and 1 have boon down for shells twice, and the waves sure are monstrous.

There are over 1100 Soldiers in this one Hotel. There are of us in one room. Tho din ing room seats Three Hundred and Seventy and the eats are substantial, but not fancy. The trees are nearly all evergreen and every place you look you see a field of H'rape vines. Some places the civilians are making garden.

This camp is not in danger except for water supply on acount of the pumpa being flooded 1 I wal'ked about kilometer-; just to see where the land is overflowed, was pretty tired last night. Wo had a very nice Xmas although we had been quartered for two days and just got. out in time for dinner which consisted of Turkey, corn, dressing, bread, butter, coffee, pumpkin pie, fruit cake, whitegrapes, apples, three kinds of candy, cigars and cigarettes. The night before we were given 2 pair woolen socks, 1 pair of cotton white socks, '2 white handkerchiefs, an or'nge, candy, figs dates, cookies, cigv" -s and matches.

It does not ke live holiday as there is no el and it is not cold either, I papers that there is heavy in the England States, are several Pittsburgh boys here bat no one that I know nor is tin re any one from Indiana County, But we never get lonesome a.s there is plenty of life in the boys.

When decisions go against lje changed, the majority will claim we all know the answer. tncir ol(l dates.

To bring out my point better, take my friend Freddie Welsh. Freddie hung on to the lightweight title for seef, is Mrs. Keith of the Indiana Normal School entertained tin- Tuesday afternoon club at her home, Mr. Harry Hindelightner of Clearfield, was an Indiana caller this week. years, a long time after his championship days had really passed.

He did this by engaging in no-decision bouts in New York and other places. I like and admire Freddie Welsh, and am only using his name as an illustration. There are others, too. That big darkey, Jack Johnson, would have gone on interminably in short, no-decision bouts. Why? Because Johnson was the world's master in defense.

About nine years ago I told him that timidity made him clever. He replied: "What do you mean by timidity?" I camouflaged by definition. Rut what I meant was that Johnson w.is a fighter who did not like to be hit, and that that feeling caused him to develop a system of defense, a method, by the way, that can be traced to a lack of gameness. Personally I am not pessimistic on the squareness of the game. It i.s m-y opinion that ninety-nine out of every one hundred bouts are on the level.

There may ho even a greater percentage than that. But for some it's certainly the one had bout which crops out now and then stands without forgiveness, and all the good ones have to suffer. The sam-e percentage applies to racing, but the loser has to have an alibi for his mistaken juddgenvent, so the horse was "pulled." They will never be able to slop boxing except temporarily. You can't stop little Johnny, six years old, resenting an intrusion or an insult from a playmate. And while his playmate may scrath him or hit him with a stone of a stick, if Johnny has a good left and a fair right hand he will win.

And his fond parent at home is going to be proud of him bo- cause he did, even though he may get a paddling for it. I am really out of the boxing game in one sense, but I will always feel like diving back into it again, if it gets on its legs, I want to see it go ahead for tho game itself, for the interest I have always taken in it and for the good it does. But I want to soe. it always on the "-up and up," as that is the only way to run it for H. NORTHWOOD.
