Dear Mama:
you, may be somewhat surprised' to
know that I am wounded and am now
In a base hospital down in southern
France. I was hit by schrapnel in
ruy right ankle and my left thigh, but
I am going to get along all right, and
hope to be out of the hospital in a
month or so. You may have read
about our fighting west of Verdun in
the Argonne, whtsre Ithe resistance
has been most dogged, and the fighting
fiercest along the whole froitf. The
Germs ns have their best troops here,
and no time during the war has the
lighting been harder, and it is the
worst the Americans have been up
against. The Germans are fighting
if the people back home realize what
we are going through for them.
The artillery was fierce, the fields
presented the appearance of having
been plowed up, not an inch of ground
but that was pulverized by the shells.
The woods were being torn to pieces,
nothing but trunks of trees left. Ev
ery valley and bunch of woods being
shelled and gassed. Our masks were
on and off as we passed through the
gassed areas.
Our d.vision reached its objective
I saw Frank Binford the first day we

idvanoing in assault, my battalion in
support. I don't know how he came

I could write much more, but will

WILBUR.

Now she must mobilise. A mighty army to cod'

therefore wheat, may be conserved. The first method
that has been discussed—that is the elimination of
bread from the diet—can not be considered, because
there is no one other food that has an equivalent place
in the diet. This applies to plain white bread, whole
wheat bread, rye breed, Boston brown bread, breads
