They are war weary and sad
 i Routine Workers Needed
 Have just returned from dinner. IL is now 9:35 so thus it is that time passes, very quickly indeed
 | To return to the events of the week We got out another big lot of food stuffs for Italy on Monday last, some % carloads. On Tuesday we called in the evening on Major Perkins who is the commissioner to France. and met Colonel Logan and Colonel Boyd of General Pershing's stan.
 { Johnnie George blew in today and secured a truck load of socks and sweaters for his aviators some miles from here. He is feeling fine and is as jolly as ever. NIT. Moss called last ! Thursday. He has been three years here with the ambulance service. Bill | Gohring knows him. He worked for the c. S A. This morning Power Con way called and we went to mass at the Madeline and took with us MT. VOSs- hurgh, New York banker. who want ed to see the church. After mass we vent to Dr. Blake's hospital on the other side of the Arc de Trump, where Conway had some work done on his ear. After we came back to the Ritz and picked up Majors Pingskey end Congressman Husted. Ira Jorala- mon and we all went to lunch at Mar joreys. We had splendid meal, then came a slight furry of soft snow, the first of the season. so we all headed for my room where we spent the af- ternoon. Now I have given you the weeks doinss. The grand boulevard is crowded as it is every Sunday even ing. except for the soldiers and once in a while a legless man. one would not realize that the war is only so miles away. I do not expect to see nnv of the war zone for quite awhile There is too much work to be done here. It may tighten up a bit after we get owen. Solomon and few clerks to help to do the routine work We have too many generals and not enough privates in the organization All splendid fellows. but not good on routine like myself.
 Don't Like Charity
 I am going to give money here to French general who is doing good work among the refugees and needy at Nancy. The people of the country. who are alright, can do more, and II will be more acceptable coming through a channel of this kind than through any other. The French peo- ple appreciate aid. but scorn charity. like them-they are wonderful-but I think they expect our help in the fighting soon-far sooner. I fear. than we can give it.
 Work is Hard
 Paris. France. Dec. 6th. 1917.
 am feeling very well. but there IS lots to be done We hope that with the addition of Solomon. Owen and a few stenOgrSphers and Onice people we will have things going good soon We have quite a few. three or four. very good volunteer workers. but feN If this class are willing or competent to tackle warehouse work There are plenty. too many. who like to do other things more consenisL but l feel the work we are doing means something for the good of the cause. You must UNL HUH NuAc NAGN -F7 @-N good work being done in other deparS- ments. believe they are on whole doing fine and grand work in prepar- ing to aid our boys and also in help ing the poor people. the children and he wounded of France. The book l sent you. -Four Months Of Red Cross Work explains it fully.
 Regarding war news. you get more in the U. :. than we do. l take the New York Herald which has very lit- .le. I also take the London Times and it gives quite bit l note they are very short of things in London, par ticularly sugar fats and flour. We seem to have plenty of food here. bun it is very dear Sugar is limited. no milk served after nine and coal scarce and high. This makes it hard on the >oor people. Power Conway and Ira Ioralamon dined with me last night Maicr Greenway is located at head quarters. I will now say goodnight as it is late. I will write again Sun day. NIT. Douglas is feeling fine and I get lots of news and paper clppinSs rom him.
