Day in Camp was glittcring reality.
Not just little bits of the choicest

there. A menu that any man would
envy, served in Il way that made
Il fellow wonder if the cooks hadn't
had the recipe sent from home, as

dgincd hardships-for most of them
the men; troublesome prospects of
irksome duties TO come were laid
aside; unreasonable reasons that al
ways find their way into camp for
everything were lost in the mad rush
for the mess line; and as the alumni
mum pans were passed along the mess
table, growing in plenty ut every
move, the atmosphere took on home
like quiet and content which made Il

was good enough to have IL place in

There was holiday in camp. Only
such duties as were necessary to the
conduct of the place were done, and
all over the encampmcnt there were
scenes of gaiety and pleasure. Those
who cared to. spent the afternoon
in town, while others lolled about,

good time. Piles of boxes from home
lined each tent and here and there
some fellow was making the time fly
by writing to the folks at home. And
all around Thanksgiving was real
day.
After all is said and done each
man had Il lot to be thankful for.
He is good enough and strong enough
and brave enough to offer himself and
all he has to his country, to take up
arms that all the other generations
may not have to bleed and hunger
and agonize under the feet of some
thing that all good men know is
