HAVE TASTE OF WINTER

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Jan. l7.-ICy roads turned
into river beds for t-rrentiial streams
llowng from the melting SHOWS on
the hills, together with a downpour
of fine rain, combined today to make
conditions the worst the American
army has experienced since coming to
France.
Through the zone of the army It
was not infreQuent To- find the roads
at places lined on each side with mo-
tor truck which had been ditched.
Mule-drawn vehicles also were mired
in many cases. In one stretch OF road
a mile long there were fourteen We.

diers trying hard to release them.
The mule drawn transport trains
indeed. suffered the most from the
conditions, the animals slipping on the
ice roadbeds and being unable to arise
after falling until branches and twigs
cut from trees were put under their
feet.
