Well Al they say its pretty quite these days up to the front and the boys that’s been around here a wile says you can hear the guns when they’s something doing and the wind blows this way but we haven’t heard no guns yet only our own out to where we have riffle practice but everybody says as soon as spring comes and the weather warms up the Germans is sure to start something. Well I don’t care if they start anything or not just so the weather warms up and besides they won’t never finish what they start unless they start going back home and they won’t even finish that unless they show a whole lot more speed then they did comeing. They are just trying to throw a scare into somebody with a lot of junk about a big drive they are going to make but I have seen birds come up to hit in baseball Al that was going to drive it out of the park but their drive turned out to be a hump back liner to the pitcher. I remember once when Speaker come up with a couple men on and we was 2 runs ahead in the 9th inning and he says to me “Well busher here is where I hit one a mile.” Well Al he hit one a mile all right but it was ½ a mile up and the other ½ a mile down and that’s the way it goes with them gabby guys and its the same way with the Germans and they talk all the time so as they will get thirsty and that’s how they like to be.
