"The war against Austria-Hun-gary, which was conducted under the high command of his majesty, th«» king of Italy, with an army inferior in number and with still inferior means the 24th of May. 1015, has come to an end." said the dispatch.

To tell the truth I feel lucky to be living. Lots of the home boys have given, their lives in the last big battle, but all died for a good cause. The United States ought to be proud of them. Perhaps our greatest loss was Cap-tain Dixon. He was a father to us boys. I never expect to find an-other man who will take the interest in the boys he took. The place we took was the strongest place on the Hindenburg line. The English. French. Scotch and Canadians had tried different times to take the pla,ee. but failed. The place where we were was over a hundred miles off and we expected to stay there, but General Pershing sent us here to take this strong front. He said he felt sure we could do it. and we did. That Hindenburg line is some line. I wish you could see it. "Just .before going into battle. Captain Dixon lined his men up and talked to them almost an hour and said. 'We are going to take this place if there is only one man ieft when we get there.' He said he had no hopes of coming out alive and he made his will and left a note to be sent to his mother. He only got about half way and was wounded three times before he was killed, but kept right on going until a bullet went through his head that caused lm death.
