what little sickness prevails is limited
almost exclusively to few cases oi
measles and mumps.
Every soldier already has been vac,
cinated against typhoid and in addi-

TO KEEP CHAMPAGNE
Expeditionary Forces Given
Liquid Treat by French Gov
ernment; Soldiers Need
Books.
CBy Associated Press.I

American Training Camp in France,
July 22-This was champagne day
for IT,. ..ican soldiers. After a
long discussion the .can staff
decided to allow the soldiers to ac-
l'cept the champagne and wines
which the French government pre-
sented to them July ~, battle day.
The liquid delica les were dis
tributed during the forenoon and
proved a welcome variation from the
customary Uttered water with its
slightly salty taste. Gilt wine, how
ever, was not the only vine drunk
by the men who, their pol,.ets filled
with the money from yesterdays pay
day, soon exhausted the normal wine
supply OF the nearby city except for
champagne, which was cheap and
plentiful.
SCI Need Books.
The greatest need of the American
soldiers appears to be reading mat
ter. Magazines, newar grs and books
arc 10. obtainable here. A move
ment is under way to interest Ameri-
cans in sending old magazines and
books to the camp. The representa-
tives here OF the Young Mems Chris
tian association hope to be able part
ly to make up the deficiency in read
ing matter before long.
In their spare time-which is not
super-abundant-the men have de-
veloped a veritable passion for letter
writing, which has swamped the COM
pany censorship. Many soldiers turn
in a dozen letters daily, most of them
written, as one censor explained, to
"every queen the men have met on
their way here"
A rule has been made therefore,
that the letters must be enclosed in
blue envelope and sent to Paris for
censorship.
