'tlRISWOLD WRITES
FROM sunny FRANCE
Where It Is 10 Below Zero-TelIS
Of Atrocities

Capt. Alfred H. Griswold of this
city, with the 1929 q. S. infantry in
France, has written to Mayor Quigley
thanking New Britain for sending to-
bacco to his soldiers, calling attention
to the fact that it is 16 below zero
where they are, mentioning a, trip to
Paris, but saying he had rather be
in old New Britain, and then con-
Guiding with the statement that he
has seen some of the German atroci-
ties and they make his blood boil
Following is his letter:
France, Jan. 6, 1917.
The Hon. George A. Quigley:
Dear Sir:
Received your letter and was very
much pleased to hear from you.
want to thank you and the War Blu
reau for the prompt response to my
appeal for tobacco for the boys over
here. I received this last week "a
large packages of tobacco and cigar
cites which I divided as equally as
I could among the New Britain boys
in Company E, Company !, the Head
quarters company and Machine Gun
company They all individually. and
collectively wish to send their thanks.
We are having splendid weather
just now, but it is very cold. Last
Friday morning it was Is degrees be-
low zero. There are no frozen feet
among the men and very few cases of
frostbite, which is wonderful I think
considering the number of hours that
the men put in in drill.
I visited Paris a short time ago. Tt
is certainly a wonderful city, but be-
lieve me I would give more to walk
n
+ would to visit all the cities of
Europe. We all have the feeling that
we will be doing that same thing a
year from now. The New Britain
boys are all we'll, in fact it is sur
prising how little real sickness there
is in the whole regiment, and the
morale of the outfit is wonderfully
good. The boys have got the real
fighting spirit and are anxiously wait
ing their turn to go into the trenches,
and, believe me, New Britain will not
have to be ashamed Of the men that
she has sent on ahead. We may have
been q rough lot, but, believe me, we
are getting a darn sight rougher, for
this is q hard, rough game we are
playing. The trouble is going to be
not in getting the men to fight, but
in stopping them when they get start
ed, for they have seen enough here i'll
France to make them fight and fight
like hell. You have no doubt read
a whole lot about the atrocities COM
mitted over here. Well. I have not
only read, but have seen, and it makes
my blood boil when I think of some
Of the things I have seen. There is
a whole lot I would like to write
about, but the censor wouldn't stand
for it, so will close now with my best
wishes and thanks to you and the City
Of New Britain.

orders are against it, and believe me

barracks with steam heat, electric
lights and "honest to God" beds with
springs, and that means something,
and last, but not least, some real
American Red Cross nurses, and be-
1ieve me they are wonderful and do
all they can for us, as they put it
this way, that we are doing our bit,
and believe me we are.
There are a few drafted men
already here, or at least there is one

will be another draft soon.
