an indication, however, that the de-

"L0ST" FIGHTERS PRAISED

COBLENZ. Sunday. December (by
the Associated Press)-While the
Americans were marching into the
city today the last division of the
German army was only a few kilo-
meters beyond the Rhine. moving in
orderly fashion, with the spirit of a
holiday rather than that of a de-
feated army. Almost every man had
a rosette or sprig of green in his
cap. Many of the trucks and wagons
were decorated with quantities of
Christmas green's.
The comparatively light yoke the
Americans have laid on the Germans
appears to have influenced them in
their attitude toward the Americans.
When the American troops went to
the barracks just evacuated by the
Germans they found they had been
scrubbed to a state of spotlessness,
and that the mattress coverings had
been washed and refilled with fresh

ENGLISH WOMEN
 DO MEMS WORK
Potatoes Grow on Every Spare Patch of Ground In British
 Isles.
Cook r. Y. Allen Writes From Eng Iish 2es, Camp While on His
 Way to France.

The following is the first letter re- ceived from Cook Henry H Allen of Pomfret, son of Mir. and Mrs. E. P Allen. It was written from an Eng fish rest camp while the young soldier was on his way to France. While The Patriot has printed many letters, this is the first that has contained any thing about the work of the women in the war, or has mentioned the intens i've farming of the European coun- tries. For this reason 1t is of particu- lar interest.
 Dear Home Folks:
 You will be glad to hear that am safely over. and in the best of health. There IS beautiful camp and the food is of good quality. There are more Y. NJ. C. A. buildings than l would have supposed. In walking about the camp this afternoon l mo- ticed the wild English poppy. very pretty red fiower-the most beautiful wild flower I have ever seen.
 "It is interesting to see how the peo- pie use up spare ground for gardens. Potatoes are growing on every little plot of land, sometimes only eight or ten hills. The patches of soil are so small that Americans would not think them worth while planting. All such little plots are well kept It was fun ny to see the women doing all the work men usually do. They run street cars. lug baggage, and do any thing else that comes along. All the camp canteens that belong 10 the Brit ish are run by women.
 "The American boys are very fond of candy. was surprised to find that it can be bought here Hard candy mostly. Chocolate is scarce. This is only a rest camp. We shall be in France by the time you receive this letter
 There is small paper called Home News that gives us daily news from all over the United States. All the boys are in hurry to get to France, and are glad we are going so soon. The boys miss pies and cake, but we cannot expect to get those here. The canteens occasionally have a kind of pie, but it has only one crust I am cook while here, and like it, as I always do.
 "So much for the beginning of our experiences overseas. Now it's sup per time, so good bye until my next.
 Yours with love,
 Henry"

NO MORE OIL ENGINE LAMPS
N. Y, N. H. & H. Will Equip Loco motives With Electric Head
 lights.

Because the cost of cheap labor has scared since the beginning of the war, the New Haven" road has decided to equip it's locomotives with electric headlights and markers and thus eliminate the labor required to clean and repair the oil headlights and markers. The upkeep on the electric lights will be very low compared with that on the old style lights. Officials of the road say that not only will the quality of the light be much better, but the saving to the road will be ma terial
 The first electric headlights ap- peared on this division this week and it Is said that the engines are being equipped as fast as the equipment ar rives. The locomotives generate their own current and do not depend on the current from the main line which sup plies light in the steel coaches.
 The light from the electric eyes shows for more than mile ahead of the train. The question as to wheth- CT this long-dIstanee glare would pre- vent engineers from seeing signal lights had been discussed, but an ap- pliance in the cab allows the engineer to turn off the flash, and It IS thought that no trouble will be met.

 "July 30, 1918.
 Just a few lines to let you know that I am all 0. K. and at present en- toying life very much and there is no cause to worry. as we are as safe as we were at home.
 "We are getting plenty to eat and a good place to sleep, so are pretty we'll satisfied We are billeted with French people at present. so many sol diers with each family. We have their unoccupied rooms and find things very pleasant The people are friend ly and kind to us. They are mostly old people and children. Their GUS toms are old ones, but they get there just the same. am beginning to like the Lace very much.
 Be sure to send me the Post once in while, as we do not see newspa- pers here and don't know what is go- ing on in the outside world. and be sure to have my Patriot sent to me. You can bet both papers will be en- joyed very much.
 "I would like to be able to come home and eat my Thanksgiving dinner with you, or even the Christmas din ner would be satisfactory to me, so l guess we will have to finish up things quickly.
 ''It is a good thing I brought along that tobacco and money, as we can not tell when we will be paid over here. perhaps this week. and maybe not for three months. We never can tell in the army Chocolate over here is rather high and other things much cheaper than at home Chocolate bars are three for dollar, so we pass them up
 Letters from home will make a hit over here, so let them roll over often and don't forget my papers
 Remember me to all the boys and friends at home. and tell them to write whenever they are not busy. Tell Frank Warren to write Also Bud and Brad"
