I have not seen MaJ Harry Doane for some time, but I guess he is in good health. Col Hayes has been transferred today and I am rather down in the mouth. We have snow every day instead of rain, and it is very cold, but the men are well cared for.

plenty of clothing, rations are good, and I buy as we go along things we need. We had a fine Christmas dinner. New-Year's Day we will have another, for the best way to reach a man is through his stomach. I have two new second lieutenants. Bill Rodeers of Orange and Frank UI-rich of Boston.

The people here are very good to us and do all in their power to keep the men warm. My billets are very good. I only have three, however. They have closed all the wine shops here to members of the American forces. We get the Athol and Orange papers, and, believe me.

thev do look good to us. Every man fights for any part he can get, and they cannot get hero too often. Piano, mandolin, ukulele and mouth organ), as well as harmony experts for quartets. My six months of service would have been up Dec 2, and I can't help feeling how good it would be to be packing up ready for sailing home, and, believe me, we did talk it over before signing up. Once we had It all planned, for four of us were going to have an outside berth room on the Espana.

It will seem good to see the States again. The "Sunny France" that they talk about "ain't no such thing." I see there is all sorts of food conservation in the States. It is probably a good thing. It won't hurt anybody to cut out a few luxuries. The sale of cakes of all kinds is going to be stopped Jan 1 in France, and every one is to be put on a bread ration according to age and occupation.

At present France is one of the best-fed warring Nationa-better than England and Italy, and probably Germany. The soldiers in the war zone are especially well fed; but, of course, I don't know so much about away from the war zone. We. being "militaires," can buy anything we want, except sugar, which is very scarce everywhere. There are new members coming to the Hectionl every One fellow named Wolf lives in Rockland, Me.

Blckford of Augusta has received a letter from his son, Edward P. Bickford, who is a member of the l-'th Regiment of American Railroad Engineers, now in France. The young man writes that the weather is cold and rainy and they are not In "sunny France." He says they are running a light railway there and thev have to keep busy putting the cars on the rail and pulling the engines out of the shell holes.

"What did you think of the wav the railway men fought the Fritzes when thev broke through? Now don't you bo running away with the idea that the Jerrys are all in, because Mey aren't, and I am in a position to know. Thev aren't all boys or old men, either. Of course, we will beat them, but I can't say when. "You don't want to be surprised if you hear any news about me, but I am well and have had a wonderful exnerlence. The place where our camp is represents a vast graveyard.

It is near where the battle of the Somme was fought. "The guns' flashes can be seen and the roar heard from our camp. The boys are all petting a lot of tobacco and cigarettes and feel thankful." We are having turkey with chestnut 8tufTtng tonight, which we failed to have on Thanksgiving, so it is up to me to be on time. Good night and lots of love. Roger.

PIES LIKE THOSE AT HOME Seeds of Monster Pumpkin Saved for Planting In Lexington This Spring Nov 27, 19171 am writing this In our kitchen, with all the cooks working hard, preparing our Thanksgiving dinner. We already have 16 large pies (pumpkin). Tell ma that I stil lconslder her the grandest cook In the world, but the pumpkin pies that my trusty cook Thomas has made are by far the best I have ever tasted. We are making apple pies, and I am expecting mincemeat in tomorrow for mince pies. I was going to make our Dec 26, 1917 Christmas has com and one.

and It was a real Christmas after real Christmas, but how I missed you all! The day started with a special break-fUt of eggs, bacon, hashed browned potatoes, toast and cocoa. After breakout heated up some water and had just flashed shaving when the mall arrived. A long letter from you with all the TUnksgiving news, and two letters inn father, with a Christmas present t( 100 francs in one. Believe me, that jff francs was welcome newt, as for a rrk I hadn't the price of a match. dinner lacked the turkeys, i they didn't arrive on time, but to 1 Herrlck and myself had dinner in the town.

Some dinner, let me state soup, omelet, fish, turkey, cheese, tarts and champagne. After dinner we returned to the T. M. C. A.

for their celebration to the American and French soldiers. More songs in French and English by Mme Johnson-she has a wonderful voice and then a corn cob pipe, a cake of chocolate and a memorandum book were given to each of us. The show then broke up, but a great many of us stuck around and sang popular songs with Mme Johnson at the piano. Yes, it was a real Christmas, made so by doing for others. I thought of you many times, and hope that in America your Christmas was as real as ours in France.

Day of Cam- PITY THE POOR ARMY COOK Julia Ward Howe's Grandson Writes Entertainingly of Life in Billets in France Corporal John Richards of Gardiner, Me, son of Mr and Mrs Henry Richards, enlisted in June in a machine gun company of the 102d U. S. Infantry and was promoted to corporal. He is now at a training camp for non-commissioned officers.

He is a grandson of Julia Ward Howe. He says, in part, in his letters: Wre are hard at work, and I am feeling just fine. I wish the censorship was not so strict, but it Is, and for good reasons. When I last wrote we were quartered in 'barracks which are lightly built structures, and around ours there was every necessary thing for a regular New England Thanksgiving dinner. The turkeys have not arrived as yet, but we are in hopes of getting them tomorrow, along with sweet potatoes, cranberries, nuts, raisins, figs and dates.

Then we are buying tumips, pumpkins and celery and squash if we can get them. One of the boys got a pumpkin that would not go inside an ordinary wash-tub. I am saving some of the seeds for pa to plant. There being' only half of the company here, we are anabled to give them just as good a dinner as they would get at home, and that Is no Joke, because you must understand that your kid brother is a regular mess sergeant. We had a regular snowstorm this morning, but didn't stay on the ground long.

It was quite colld, but I think from what the natives say that it In the harbor of Valencia, Spain, a passenger on an ocean liner looking out the porthole was amazed to see a German U-boat, with her flag flying, lying beside the Spanish gunboat Catalonia. From the porthole he took the photographs here. The one above, taken three hours later, shows the same U-boat getting supplies from a Spanish merchant ship in the same Spanish harbor. The plates are now in the possession of a foreign Government and prints are being carefully studied by the naval authorities of the Allies, for they reveal the latest type in U-boat rgjMg i bridge, who went to France last Sum mer with the Technology unit or the American Field service, and is now in the Fnlted States Army motor truck service. The Illustrations are from drawings he made in Paris and at the front.

PARIS HAS THESE OPTIMISTS morrow we are to have them. However, our cook fixed up some steak and made lot of pies and cakes, so it was some meal. In the afternoon the T. M. C.

A. had an entertainment lor the children of the neighborhood. The "hut" was decorated with Hags and streamers; above all the crossed flags of America and Trance. A Christmas tree covered with- lights, colored globes and gold and sliver paper held the center of the stage. One of our French-speaking boys was Santa Claus and he looked" the part.

The boys furnished the music and Mme Cobina Johnson, wife of Owen Johnson, the writer, sang. There were presents for all the kids, With a bag of candy for each. The boys In camp had dug down in their pockets and raised 1(100 francs. This money furnished the presents and also bought eupplies for a number of families who were in want. The day before Christmas a great manv of us went around town to try to And families who were lacking in food, clothing, etc, and some of the cases we found were too pitiful for words One mother with 11 children father killed1 in war had absolutelv nothing, not even thoes.

There were many other families iust as badlv off. Today, however. I sure that the American boys have a vnrm spot in their hearts. Another boy and myself took some children to the celebration and up to the time of Santa Claus" entrance they tat with their shining eyes, too overcome with the tree and all to say a word.

He says, In part: "We are now allowed to get up at 6:13 instead of 5:45, but yesterday we did not get the benefit of it, owing to a gas alarm coming in about 3:30 a. m. I sleep at the door of the hut and got up and aroused Stude. the other sergeant, who sleeps opposite me, and we each went down one side of the hut, had the men put their box respirators in the alert position, slung on their chests ready to put on.

"Then I went down and found from the control office that an alarm had come in to them over the wire that gas shells were falling in the town about five miles north. As the air was draw I have been making good friends. We have walks and talks, kicking when discouraged, but always doing our best to play the game and building golden palaces of what we will do when we get home. Naturally, this is the greatest experience that I have ever been through. And the tremendous experiences are coming, I guess, when, in the Spring, we help to hurl the nnal thun derbolt.

You know more about the war than we do, as we see only a small and rather expurgated Paris edition of a Chicago paper. But what we don't know we make up for by the astounding ind also- rumors that we hear and pass on anu teen and a cheerful dispenser, it pleases our anity to believe that although we are gone we are not forgotten." Earl F. Dempsey, 112095, probably the first Middleboro man to enter the war, a member of Battalion, 3Sd Company, Hut 32, of th British expeditionary force, says: "The boys said my luck waa in today, when I received the package from the Middleboro Commercial Club, and also the Red Cross. "I got my baptism Sept 25, 1915, on the left wing of the battle of Loos. They have only managed to put me in the hospital once since I joined up and that was only a slight wound I collected in Plugg Stratt Woods in December, 1916.

"I spent 10 months on the Somme as a cavalry man. transferring last August into the Tank corps. This is my third trip over the channel, and I only hope that I nviy make one more trip, and that one right home." boston's6wFregiment This is a letter received by Wm. J. Shields of Watertown.

He must always have his meals on time. He cooks for from 150 to 250 men. He must cook with wood that is often green, wet and scarce, and, if his meals are good, they are taken as a matter of course, but. if they are not, everybody kicks. You always hear about this kicking on food being characteristic of soldiers.

If you stop to think, this is most natural. It is a hard life, with few relaxations, little chance for a man to have a good time on his own hook. Consequently, all on that side in the men, the side that enjoys its Sunday dinner and its beer and theatres on a Saturday night, is concentrated in a very critical enjoyment of the mess. Find a man who is a good army cook and you have a mighty popular fellow. This letter doesn't seem to have much news, but it brings much love.

There is a brook that runs through the vallei- at the bottom of our hill, and they have made a border of in 1S92 and presented to Sarah Bernhardt, in appreciation of her art. It was called the Cleopatra.

Then she was named the Penelope. She was also known as the Sapphire, and is now the Yankton. She participated in the blockade of Cuba, and in 1908 encircled the Globe with the fleet.

Amsden of North st, aboard the TJ. S. S. Wanderer, first class seaman, writes: "After arriving in port, after all the discomforts of a cold and very rough trip, I was greatly cheered to receive your letter. You have taken up a wonderful work and I think you will feel repaid for it if you could be present when the boys here receive their boxes and letters.

It certainly cheers and the Middleboro boys are more fortunate than the average. "A few evenings ago I saw a large ship torpedoed only a few hundred feet from where we were. I came over here for action, and we are certainly getting it. I am ghrd of it. Undoubtedly you have seen in the papers that the L.

S. S. Alcedo was torpedoed and a number of the boys went down with her. We held a very impressive service for them. "Between torpedoes, submarines and mines we are strictly on the alert every minute.

Nevertheless, I have gained 33 pound's since leaving Middleboro, now weighing 171." Arshag Derderian, a native of Armenia, who volunteered in the United States Army, concedes his adoption of Mid'Ileboro, in th following interesting ncte: "I feel very glad and proud of my home town and the folks who do not foriret the bovs who left behind their smooth siaos or cut stone sloping toward the stream.

Just received your letter tellina: me how you spent Thanksgiving Day, and awhile, but now I have a large empty jam tin which I fill with water and heat in the evening over the incinerator fire and do my scanty washing. It doesn't generally look very well when I am through with it, but it's better than when I started.

Truly, this is a wonderful, rough and ready, shoulder to shoulder life. I an getting Just what I wanted. It is the soldier life that is the big thing to me now. One of these days it will be the trenches and the stamping out forever of the great devil. In our company headquarters we have a big phonograph which gets a good deal of work.

The tunes are mostly rags. The only highbrow tune, I hink, is the Suppe Light. Cavalry March, and it is gcod to hear. I never ate raw onions till I joined the army, but I assure you that for a light lunch a large raw onion, dipped in salt, first a bite of onion, then a bite of bread, is grand. Speaking of eats, our breakfast is very tpt to be a large helping of boiled rice with some sirup on it and coffee ind bread the side.

It goes very much to the righT spot and stays there, too. You can do much more vork on it than on any amount of wheat. Several members of our company have got jobs as interpreters. Two of them are French Canadians and the third, though born in America, has a French mother. He speaks excellent French and almost every night he talks French in his sleep.

This shows, I think, a fine enthusiasm for his work. I think the Job of an army cook is about the hardest that I could imagine. them. I also received two more letters. There Is nothing more welcome than a letter from home and I suppose it is just the same on the other end.

I have been out in the woods chopping down trees for the past week and expect to be out there another week. "It's a great life." Before that we had to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning and dr. 11 all day long, but now we get up at 7 o'clock, eat breakfast and start out to work about 8. quit about 12 and eat dinner, start in again about 1. work until 3:30 and have nothing to do till tomorrow.

What's all this we have been reading in the papers about Boston's Own, 301st? Tell Boston that her regiment is over here, and don't forget it, either. I guess she has forgotten us. We had a fine time Thanksgiving and hope we have the same Christmas. We will be home by the Fourth of July. 191S-71919-? 1920-? 1 suppose.

Let us' know in your next letter what they say about the war. We expect to go in the trenches soon and let us hope and pray we all come out alive. THESE CREPE HANGERS ing from the northwest, I knew we wore in no danger. "I awakened the captain and reported and said the men had beat go to sleep again with their respirators on their bodies and would stay on guard to windward. This I did and wore the fur lining to my trench coat and so kept nice and warm.

Even with a four-mile wind, if there had been any gas, It would have taken over an hour and a half to reach us. "It is only when a cloud gas attack comes that there is any danger and when one is six to seven miles behind the lines, as we are, one gets at least a ha'f hour warning. "Gas shells are only dangerous within a few hundred yards of their burst, and only from a cloud that will float down to leeward when hundreds are sent over in the same place. It was a good experience to test the men, though not the slightest danger. "Don't be fooled by the papers about the duration of the war.

It will probably last at least two years from now, so we might as well face it squarely." BUY ANYTHING BUT SUGAR Soldiers in France Get Plenty to Eat, but Luxuries Are Being Cut Off The following letter was received from Roger Curtis, who is with an ambulance company, somewhere In France. The young man is a member of the class of 1919, Harvard, and a son of Mr and Mrs C. W. Curtis of Marlboro, by whom the letter was received: This morning's post brought the first news from home for over two weeks, so you see you mustn't get impatient if you don't hear from me for several weeks at a time. Your four letters from Oct 84 to Nov 13 arrived and brought the first Christmas cheer in the form of a pretty little card, also the good news that boxes of goodies are on the way.

It also brough. several boxes of cigarettes from friends at school. We are having an unusually cold snap now and about the only thing we do is to hug a little stove to keep warm. I have just thawed out my fingers so I could write a letter, but my thoughts ru'n like molasses In cold' weather; therefore the lack of correspondence. We are planning a little Christmas entertainment of our own.

In order that everybody gets presents we put all the names in a hat and each person drew out three names for whom he should buy an inexpensive present; also make up a few lines of poetry to be read. We have a fellow named Varney who loved ones and their personal interests for the great cause. I have been transferred to Co 328th Infantry, Camp Gordon, Ga."

While we have a well-stocked can a sea of clay mud, kept in the best condition by the rain. Now we have gone further up the hill into the village, and are billeted in houses, stables and barns. Just at present I am lucky enough to be in a pretty good room with seven other fellows. There is a tremendous old fireplace, and when we get wood we have a merry blaze. If you awnt to picture what a comfort this is over what we bave been having, think of the big room at camp with no fire in it and then of the same room with a fire.

His hand was injured by a shell splinter, but he refused to go to a hospital. Here is what he writes: "Hand doing nicely. Have enough of the bandage removed so that I can write again.

Did not go to hospital with it but stuck to the Job, as we were on special duty and I did not want to miss the fun. The show was good. Glad I stayed. "Did" you say cold? You don know what cold is. The darkness here makes it terrible.

Rather enjoy the cold, however, as I prefer frozen ground to mud. Here it is either one or the other. "Expect to go to Paris on leave as soon as we get out this time. Can you imagine it? Two weeks in Paris! Hot baths, clean beds. etc.

After the show the captain called on three aviators, who ate their dinner with us, to speak.

Paul Cox then called for three cheers for the officers and aviators. We found in one of the papers that Peters had been elected Mayor of Boston. We had French soldiers drilling us, but they left us a month ago. There have been several airplanes flying over us. We have plenty of sugar in our coffee, but no milk.
