Dear Mother
i will put the most interesting
words down first. I am well,
and hope you all are too.
The climate is very fine here
in France. I learn it never gets
extremly hot like in old Georgia
The soil is very, very fertile,
and the farmers have some
mighty fine wheat and alfalfa
crops. Guess the “Orr” farm
is in tip top shape and all the
crops are growing nicely.
Write me where Ezra’s club
acre is. He has a good chance
to make good if he will only
keep on studying.
With best wishes to all, I am

A great military critic, one
who is up on the work, has giv
en out the information that
Germany has lost 4,760,000
men in the last four years.
According to statistics pub
lished in a French paper, Ger
many had at the beginning of
the war about 10,000,000 men.
She has lost 4,760,000 leaving
her with 5,430,000, of which
number about four million are
on the western front.
With Unce Sam’s forces swell
ing every week and every
month, it would seem that in a
very few months Germany is to
get a dogon good licking—and
she’ll do it.
