YANKs HATE TO TOTE BREAD
Take Chances of Going Hungry In
France Rather Than Carry Loaf
With Them.

Somewhere in France.-American
soldiers and sailors sometimes find 1t
difficult when on leave to get all the
bread they want in French cities.
Bread is issued by card, one ticket be-
ing good for 100 grammes. There are
three tickets for each day. The Amer
lean government feeds it's own men,
and unless a soldier is detached, or on
some special duty where he cannot
reach his own mess, no provision is
made for his eating outside his own
quarters, and he does not get French
bread tickets.
When soldiers are on leave from
camp or sailors get shore leave they
are reminded to take along a loaf Of
Yankee bread so they will have some
when they go into French restaurant
But few do this. They don't want to
be encountered all day long with loaf
of bread under their arm. They are
willing to take chance on getting in
to a restaurant where they can get
bread, or, if the worst comes, go With
out.

made her happy in the knowledge that
he not only is alive, but much in love.
The first word was from Washington
that her brother, Private Ray Hamil-
ton," was reported missing. Her
brother, Charles Nauglebach, she knew.
had enlisted, but she had not known
he changed his name, which she now
knows he did, because he wanted to
get free Of the Teutonic Nauglebach.
Within few hours she received 8
letter from Mile. Neuve Robin Emile,
to which. was pinned a note from her
brother, stating he was to be married
to the writer Of the letter.
The next day the war department
telegraphed that Hamilton had re-
turned to duty after being missing
from July 20 to August II, during
which time, it developed, he was in a
hospital.
