So much progress has been made in
restoring the interior of the old town
house, which was badly damaged by fire
in mid December, that fraternal orders
and union organizations which occupied
jointly quarters on the second floor are
preparing to reoccupy. Very little re-
mains to be done to make the Salvation
Army barracks as tenabe as ever, and
the rooms used by j. j. Lamb & Co.
have been sufficiently repaired to permit
occupancy. Downstairs. Houghton & Rob

penters and painters are having their
way with the store occupied by the New
England Fruit Go, although insurance on
the stock and furnishings has not be
fully adjusted.
Although snow is piled high in most
of the quarries on Milestone hill. quarry
owners do not join with the majority of
winter-ridden citizenry in hoping for a
January thaw. The reason given by a
well known Barre Town quarter to-day
indicates that unreasonable weather just
now might cripple the quarries indef-
nitely, for huge piles of snow would be
rapidly converted into water and much
valuable time would be wasted in pump
ing it out. In the face of extremely
rigorous conditions, the quarters have /
made shift to remove most of the snow 4
to unused corners of their quarries and I
work has gone uninterrupted. A canvass /
IF prominent quarry owners would indi- /
ate that all Of them will be content 20 I
postpone the so-called January thaw IN

'o'SN aN''NN Il''Nl 4
Dear folks: Davis and | are still
togrther and have been put in the
Military Police, not so haI i a place
as the Infantry, and hardly think
It's SO dangerous as the front lines
Of course we have to 60 up once
in while. We were up the other
night pretty close to the front line.
The Germans dropped nine shells
pretty close to us, one of them was
close enough to throw dirt all over
our shack, but we have moved back
some more.
l have seen lots of those coolies
but haven't had any so far and
hope we don't get any. This is
pretty good place here, we get a
bath this afternoon and Wednes-
day afternoon.
| started this Mon day but didn't
have time to finish it before supper
and am just now finding time to
write some more. Haven't had so
much to do but we washed our
clothes yesterday, got a big iron
kettle and built a fire, got some
big cans and carried water about
quarter OF a mile and we washed
towels and underwear, shirts, socks
and everything we had, boiled
them until they were as clean as if
they were new. We have to keep
neat in this job, but OF course that
is the way like it. We built US
fireplace in our dugout and have
things fixed up real neat under the
circumstances. Have lots oil good
eats, Had roast beef, potatoes,
gravy, bread and coffee, get cake
sometimes.
We have nice bunch of fellows
with US now if we can only stay 20
gether. | think Davis and | will
stay together, alright, as We nave
this far. 1t sure is lot of help
for both of u.s. We work together.
shave together and bunk together.
Things look better in the way of
the war. Hope they all quit pretty
soon. Some of us may get home
this winter at that, but wintering
on this side wouldn't be so bad if
the war would end.
Would like to send some Things
home but we can't buy anything,
tor the towns we are in haven't
anything to sell. They have all
been shot up until they moved out.
We haven't drawn any pay but
once and that was only so fran:s
equal to $I4 SO That's all we have
spent. That's doing pretty we'll.
Tell all the kids to write to us,
for days are going to be long this
winter if we have to stay over here.
| have had one letter since l have
been in France and that was from
Pearle and you know it's been two
months since we landed over here.
Suppose we will get a bunch of
mail some day.
Tell us about the jerseys when,
you write again as the most of them
will be fresh by the time you get
this. Well | had better quit this
and go down town and see the
quartermaster about some pay.

Arthur Snyder Just Can't Like the
German Air Planes.

Dear Mother: ! just finished
washing some clothes this. after
noon and now have few minutes
to write you. received several
letters a few days ago from you.
We are awful busy now. The
men who are not cannoners are
drivers, and US drivers have been
hauling tin and lumber to make
shelter for our horses. We do that
while the gun crew shoots at the
Hun. 1t gets too warm for some
Of them and they walk across to
be captured by our boys. / sure
will be glad when this is over. for
she is y tough life, believe me
The rain and mud are sure awful.
When it rains here the mud is just
like that hollow east of the house,
and just as soft. So you see what
we have to walk through, but thu
main roads are sure fine. They
are all rocks, but when those Huns
hit those good roads they amt so
good, and at times they sure put
those big shells at those roads
They shell towns and the roads
quite often, but we got them
skinned when it comes to shooting.
The orst of all are those damn
airplanes. One of those Dutch
planes is over me now, bet he can't
see me. | am more afraid Of them
than any thing on the front. The,
can drop bombs on you or turn
their machine gun on you. but The
thing TO do when they are around
is 10 hide and get Whele they won t
see you The Dutch planes are
scared to come over very often,
for the Allies sure shoot at them
and sometimes hit them.
Mother, l sure wish I could
bring you over to this no man s
land after the war is over. You
could see it better than | can write
and tell you, but l could make my
tongue work if | could meet you
now, but not so well as | did, for
this reason, when We first came tc

had to eat hard tack. The first
