CONTINGENT BACK
FROM THE TRENCHES
None the Worse for Their
First Experience m Actual
War Operations
By j. W. Pegler

Omitted rPess Staff Correspondent
With the American Army in France,
Nov. "A few minor cases of ordinary
illness and one suffering from what
was apparently "trench feet"-this
was the casualty list today for Am
erica s detachments in the trenches.
The first contingent to undergo trench
life returned to billets late last night,
another bate of men taking it's place.
Two silent khaki-clad columns met
in the moonlight of valley 'ssome-
where in France and called low voic-
ed greetings. One marched on to the
trenches; the other returned to the rear
there to Chamber into warms sweet and
comfortable billets. This latter column
was the first contingent of Sammies to
do trench duties.

asked one helmeted figure stumbling
forward to the trenches, of another dir
ty figure, going in the opposite direc-
tion.
cts all right" the latter answered
cheerfully, eff you keep your head
down. The Dutchmen are afraid to start
anything"
Today the training camp nearby re-
sembled wash Monday. hundreds of
shirts, sweaters and socks were spread
over the bushes and low roofs to alb
sorb the bright sunshine and lose the
peculiar musty smell of the trenches
they had acquired. The wearers them
selves were luxuriating in clean clothes
and little loafing time. They were in
splendid condition, except for minor all
ments.
Except for the last few days, the
first Americans in the trenches saw the
very worst weather Imaginable. II RAIN
ed and spat sleet most of the time. The
clearing weather caused some artillery
ing, in which the American trenches
were occasionally touched with shrap-
mel and the back areas with high ex-
plosives.
New Workers in the camp were ar
ranging for their balloting today. No
plans have been made to record New
Yorkers' votes in the trenches.

Boxers will derive no compensa-

1t had formerly been planned
to have Camp Lewis boxers on
the card, but an order prohibit
ing soldiers from taking part in
any exhibition outside of camp
has put an end to that plan.
The card follows: Jack Hart
