French Front, Feb 25-The veteran
of 1914 who has passed four win
tcrs at the battlefront is apt to make
ironic remarks about "featherbed
soldiers when he hears newly joined
comrades speak of the discomforts Of
Geld weather cantonments. AT the
beginning of the war the fighting men
we're more than pleased to discover
a comparatively dry srot under the
trees Of a forest or in a drafty stable
or barn in which to pass their very
rare and short periods of repose.
Now all has been changed and ey-
erything possible is done to provide
some sort of comfort and distraction
for the men when they come down
from the front line trenches. It must
not be supposed that all the modern
aids of human comfort are furnished
to the soldier but his lot is luxurious
compared with that during the early
months of the war.
In every village in the immediate
rear of the fighting line out of range
of the German guns a town major
has been appointed, who makes it his
business to know of every nook and
corner where men and horses can be
housed When a battalion of regi-
ment marches in, everything is in
readiness for its reception. Regi-
mental workshops and offices, sta
bles and kitchens already are arrang-
ed, and billeting Accommodations for
officers and men listed in such a way

that the soldiers have only to go in
and occupy their quarters. Some
times they are lodged in the cottages,
but in general it has been found more
convenient to place them in farm
houses and barns, as the hygienic IA.
cilities in the country houses are far
from modern.
Every available grange and barn
has been thoroughly gone over and
made watertight by having its roof
covered with tarred paper and its
walls made draft-proof by thick cren-
elated cardboard. Electric light has
been installed, every building pro-
ylded with a stove and washstands.
Psrtitioned off is a compartment
where the men may take hot and cold
shower baths. In the nearby kit
chens every requisite is handy for
cooking.
AS to the mems personal comfort
each of them is given a trestle bed,
with straw mattress, known generally
as "siX-foot feathers" holsters
sleeping sack and blankets.
In the vicinity of the villages sports
grounds have been enclosed and
marked for football games, while
numerous plots of land are set apart
for truck and gardening and gener
ally cultivated by old reservists who
do not go into the firing line. The
produce is much appreciated by the
troops, who, when at the front, have
