I am sure every one at home is delighted with our glorious victories. That victory Chateau-Thierry, for which the bells st home runs, was wonderful and It meant so much to the military situation here, for it completely turned the boche from to the driving wclsht and speed of assault of the modern intensive attack, and their tine bus been developed tremendously by the Brltt command since last year. The modern tank has twice the not, lor I have been in the most rnn the oncoming drive an Paris, which Ulant Dumbing and now thev turn their they had so carefully plmmed; hut marine irons on us. which makes it they were no match for our boys. How all the more I am nut scared, but I'd much rather not have Miss Margaret Ferguson, Care American 15xpres 11 Rue Scribe, Paris, under date of August 24, writes in part an follows to Mrs, K.

P. Wan-ex, of Armour, of her recent experiences as ti war nurse; "Well, 1 scarclely know where to begin to tell you of my experiences and work It is 80 full of change and interest, this war life of ours, but I urn alwavs very happy to he here and it is alwavs wonderful. My only regret is that 1 'wasn't here sooner and that I am not iloinaf more. My share in this war Is not much compared with what some are doing.

It opened the eyes of the older warrior as to what could be done by a little' American speed and spirit. Our looses were heavy but they weVe nothing compared to the losses of the enemy.

The enemy ran so quickly that" our boys turned their own cannon on them. They were the crown prince's best troops, too. The French nearly went wild with delight over that and it was the second great battle of the Ma me, "The fact that tha Americana fought as separate divisions and tinder United States tactics goes to show what their tralinng lias done for them and reflects much credit on their officer and their speed and pluck can't be excelled, leu? we, nurses who were only a few miles back of them on that memorable Itsh and I9th of July and had the privilege of dressing their wounds and operating on them and Ihsteninff to their wonderful stories and all laughing and proud of their victory and telling 'how the boche did and how the killed them, why to listen to them you would think they were talking about shooting ducks or other wild game. They were not bragging, but just talking among themselves after a great victory and seemed unmindful of any great danger they themselves had endured. We read a lot about Germany's assertion that our boys abuse them, when prisoners, but not a word do we hear about the way the boches treat our boys when they get them, but in this battle they did not get many and thut was one of the great things about the second battle of the Marne.

It ti simply awful to watch them burst nnd strike places. Of all forms of warfare, the air war -i the worst. I tirst thought the direct shelling was; but now i know -much different, for it lacks the awful horror of the air raid.

Besides, when a shell comes it juist simply comes and that Is all there is to it, while in the case, of the bombing with aeroplanes overhead and using their ma. chine guns it Is enoutth to give any one the Jim-poms. course we always give a good return barage, "We brought down an 'ace' the other night. i'ou should have seen him, he was decorated from head down and spoke EngliHh and French and had two uncles in New York and one In New Jersey and he was greatly surprised to land beside two American nurses. We dressed his broken ankle, but I couldn't help fervently wishing it had been his blonde neck tha was was broken.

He was a so-called clever Prussian and wouldn't say anything about the war, only that the Yankees were good chummy sort of fellows and he was sorry they were enemies. He was well dressed, had a line fur coat "it is time to goon duty but 1 can't close this letter without telling you what a grand work the home people In the United States are doing. I am sure no country, could do more and I know you will all continue until the victory is won. I forgot to tell you that I got a touch of gas a week I did not take proper precautions and after treating a large number of gassed men I was badly choked up, vomited a great deal and had to stay in bed two days, but with the exception of a cough I am fine a pain now.
