diers really need and use every day,
so / thank you all most heartily.
A soldiers life is no joke. We're
busy every hour of the day. In the
morning we're up at SIS, after break
fast there is drilling till 9:20, then 40
minutes rest, at 10 we're out putting
up tents and drilling with litters and
first aid till 11:15, then get ready for
dinner. At 1870 we have school and
signalling until 1920. Then If we
have any washing to do. we are al
lowed 40 minutes for that. At S we
have to stand retreat for Is minutes,
then supper at $50. So you see
every minute of our time Is taken
but we're all happy just the same.
The NJ D. Field Hospital has the
reputation of being the cleanest bunch
in the whole camp. There are about
1000 men in the Field Hospital, and
about 10000 men In the whole divis-
ion, and more coming, so we have a
pretty good sized camp.
Our Field Hospital has about SO
men and we feel that we have them
all beat.
According to the last report we
might be leaving for France about
January, but cannot tell what might
happen before that, only hoping they
get us out of here before long and
shoot us across in double quick time,
the quicker the better.
We have fine weather now, but the
nights are cold and by morning one
needs every blanket and coat to keep
warm There is no hot water to wash
with III the morning either: But there
is one thing we can do and that's eat.
We sure do eat no matter what comes
along; but we have very good cooks.
Must quit now as the lights go out
rat nine so have to get ready. Again
many thanks to you all. Regards to
everybody.

Francis w. Honeycutt, has been quot
ed as stating that he never has seen
a better body of material from which
soldiers may be manufactured.
Uncle Sam supplies every man with
food and clothing and equipment to
keep him in good physical trim, but
it does not make allowance for recrea-
ton equipment such as baseball, box
ing gloves, footballs, books, papers
and other things that tend to make
soldiers life happier. The daily food
allowance per man is 4197 cents, and
this does not allow him much leeway
for ice cream, pie, butter, milk,
Thanksgiving dinners and so forth.
The only way these things can be
procured is from battery funds.
