With the American Army in France,
Dec 7.-Representatives of the
United States food administration
who are in France on tour of in
vestigation know today just how the
American soldiers in France live.
Last night the party of six divided
and Joined different units. Several
units were on practice marches and
the visitors had the experience of
standing in the rain at the mess line
and eating from the mess tins with
out shelter. They were billeted for
the night with soldiers, who were
sleeping in lofts and in rooms of farm
houses.
This morning one Of the visitors
wanted to wash and as the sergeants
had been instructed to show them no
favors, he was directed to the nearest
muddy stream, where hardy artillery
men were standing in mud and ice
busy with soap, brushes and frigid
water. It appeared to be too much for
one member of the party SO the cap
tain allowed him to share his billet
which had a stove.
All the members of the party agreed
that even under the most trying cir
cumstances and some times without
a single apparent comfort except pos
sibly a cigarette, the morale and de-
meanor of the soldiers was the finest
possible. The visitors spent part of
the time with former national guards
men from their respective home
states.
