 February 3. 1918. We had . little excitement last night which served to break the mon. otomy of camp life. At one o'caoef this morning, we were awakened by the fire call being sounded by ths bugler. As we are living in teLt: we hear the call verysoften, as sparkl fly from the chimneys and cause tsi tents t ocatch fire. On reaching ou company street, we found that thit time the fire was located in our mes hall which is a wooden structure ant is 193 feet long by 25 feet wide. Tn guard had started the fire in the ficl, range which is part of the guard duty to do on that post, so that ou coffee will be boiling for our break fast, and the concrete base of tn range had become overloaded to ,sucl an extent that the floor underneatl
 burst out in flames. Prompted by tn knowledge that just such an acciden Ehad cost the neighboring company tw Emess halls a couple of weeks ago, tn
 boys immediately formed bucke brigade between the scene of the fir and the fire plug which lies abou Fl 50 feet from the building. By passin the pails filled with water up on l, line and returning the empty pail down the other, the fire was 500 quenched. By placing detail c
 men to repair the damages, break fast was served as usual and D tine-really earlier than usual. W ! have to get up an hour earlier ever ! Saturday to prepare for inspection This includes the cleaning up of on
 quarters and equipment and the nak
 ing up of our packs, enclosing tn
 change of clothing, toilet articles an
 mess kit the most important part ( our equipment to us, which is enrol,
 ed for inspection on the parad
 grounds. might also add that ir
 spection is a duty which each soldie
 looks forward to with some misgiv !, ings. For 1t Is at that time that an noticeable flaw in our equipment found and we are placed under re T strictions which denies us our usus | liberty pass to town. t PRIVATE J. H. BICKNELL, Amb. Co. No. 20, 9th Div, T Camp Mcclellan, 2 a Anniston, Ala.
