We started back near verdun and
for several days liked along roads
bivouacing at night on the sides Of
the hills, to have our slumbers dis
trrbed By some Dutchmar who wanted
to drop one or more bombs for mis-
country. Fipally we reached the point
OF jarnp-o.f and we JUMPED on. IL IT
can be called that. We reached The

"A few of the nights they laid over

part wrapped in get Blanket. with
cold rain beating on US all night loag.
Inever thought there could beSso much
mud and such cold rain. Nor did ever
think that man was built to sleep in
cold water all night and then go on.
But apparently<it didn't do any harm.
After lying all nisht in the rain and
mud and shivering. with teeth chat
tcring and spine twifching. we would
get up in the morn;s. and start on. For
some reason or other we'd partly warm
up. after climbing few. more hills.
and .altho vac were constantly tired,
things seemed to be all right during
tho day time. We were about ten
minutes behind the boctes all the time.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 24.-Bulgarian
political leaders profess to be graft
ned by the entry Of the entente fleet
into Constantinople and express the be-
lief that 1t assures an equitable and
reasonable solution of the interminable
question of who shall control the
straits OF the Dardenelles. This prob
lem has been the constant nightmare
of most of the Bulgarian states. par
ticularly of Bulgaria, Roumania and
Greece. These countries always have
considered the possibility Of Russian
occupation Of Constantinople to be
serious menace to their own national
existence. ~5 49,
This fear was one Of the causes
which led Bulgaria to take sides with

entry into the war on the side ef the
