One can easily see that the war has
hit the people hard. Every one wears
serious face. There are scarcely
any men around-that is, civilians,
and there are too many women wear
ing black to make things particularly
pleasant looking. Prices do not seem
especially high, according to United
States figures, although some things
like sugar, candies, etc., are hard to
secure.
Natives say that this is the worst
winter in 80 years. Am doing con-
struction work on one of the hume
rous buildings the government is
putting up for various purposes. In
the meantime we are waiting for the
assembling of our ambulances, so
that we can drive them overland to
our other camp. There are 90 of us
re-drivers-and we expect to
leave any time. Lots of construction
work going on, much of it being
done by negroes and German prison
ers. The prisoners seem to be en-
tirely happy and contented as one
could be under the circumstances.
We are looking forward to the time
when we shall go to the front and see
some real service. Anything is better
than this constant inactivity. Seems

Major General O'Callaghan is re-

puts the reverse English, as 1t were,

Somewhere out there" he says, Il

q little farmhouse In d small orchard.
Il had apparently been there only a
few days, and asked the lieutenant In

"'You see,' explained the lieutenant
we were over yonder half mile In an
excellent position. but the Boche got
our range and strafed us something
fierce the other afternoon. So I asked
the major II we might move her down
here. We got the engine up at mid
night, the sappers laid down the rails
In a little while, and we brought her
here before daylight
"'You've got good position here,
I remarked. but you don't seem to
have done much by way Of conceal

emo replied the subaltern, we
carefully left the camoufage In the

accept the resignation, which he had
already submitted, and giving rea-
sons which, he declared, would no
longer allow him to serve as an Off
Ger of the American army.
Further service as commission
ed officer must sooner or later take
me to Europe, and there bring me in
conflict with my relatives and friends
although for the time being my legal
enemies" Capt. Henkes wrote. my
father came from Germany. My
mother was born here shortly after
the arrival of her parents. We have
many other relatives and friends
there.
II cannot force myself to the con.
viction that 1 am capable of making
war on my kindred upon their soil In
manner that would become my
duty and station"
Capt. Henkes. soon after he had
submitted his resignation, was or
