Aprašymas

Excerpt from On the Edge of the War Zone, From the Battle of the Marne, to the Entrance of the Stars and Stripes
It is very silent here most of the time. We are so few. Everybody works. No one talks much. With the cannon boom ing out there no one feels in the humor, though now and then we do get shaken up a bit. Everything seems a long time ago. Yet it is really only nine days since the French troops advanced - nine days since Paris was saved.
The most amazing thing of all is that our communications, which were cut on September 2, were reopened, in a sort of a way, on the loth. That was only one week of absolute isolation. On that day we were told that postal communication with Paris was to be reopened with an automobile service from Couilly to Lagny, from which place, on the other side of the Marne, trains were running to Paris.
