now is to eat nuts and pick my teeth.
The dinner was very good. Roast tur.

all Of it. | ate until | was full and
surely hope every boy in the service
had as good q meal.
We have four prisoners on board,
taking them to New York to serve
from two to five years in No. 81. We
picked them up at the camp in Pan
anna. OF course they had no money
and hardly any clothing so all hands
clipped in a little and made up a small
sum and bought them candy, cigars,
soap, gum. etc. out of our canteen.
The poor kids hardly knew what TO
or do. Tears were in their eyes.
They are young men of my age and it
seems a shame they should have to
spend time in prison. But whose to
blame? No one, but themselves. NeY-
ertheless they are treated we'll on
board here. Boys in the service are
ike brothers and ii is a fine way to
be. If one is broke the other lends
and so on. OF course, once in awhile
one will find a guy with poor bring
.ng up and the other boys try to over
.ook his faults. But as a rule they
are surely a fine class of young men.
We are a little over half way 10

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Miss Bertha Knutson from
her brother in France:
Colombey-les-Belles, Dec. 26, 1915
Dear Sister: Received the Christmas
package yesterday, Christmas day. We
had a nice Christmas yesterday. We
were just from III own squadron, with
the exception of a few from another
squadron. and then quite a few Of the
officers from these headquarters were
along also. We surely. had all the
cake, pumpkin pie and candy we could
eat. We each got a pound of chOco-
late candy. We had a good orchestra
and ONE good music and we also had
a bunch of German prisoners that
sang for us in German, they seemed
to enjoy the Christmas also. One of
them that could talk a little English
made a little talk, and said that 1t
seemed gloomy to be a prisoner of war
during Christmas, but that it was a
joy to him and the other Germans to
be treated as we had treated them and
he wished us all a Happy Christmas
and a Merry New Year. Notice he
got the words Happy and Merry
changed around. A colonel who came
from Chaumont said thai ours was
the best Christmas dinner he had seen
all day and he had come through quite
a few places. The officers said It was
a better dinner than they had. Presi.
dent Wilson came to Chaumont the
day before Christmas, but stayed there
only a short time. and then took a
train for Paris.
l was at Toul Sunday, and while
there l met Roy. the son Of Frank
Simmons. of Bookings. He came over
and talked to me. otherwise | would
not have known him, as he has not
been in Bookings for quite a few
years. Toul is surrounded by a big
wall with three or four gates leading
to the town, and Il also has a canal

Thomas Bang, Bookings, SO. OAK
Dear Friend Tom: 1t is such a long
time since | have either written you
history. have always been going to
answer your last letter, but the truth
is | haven't written anybody in the
last two months until yesterday, as we
a lot of hiking on our way up towards
Germany, as you will see by the head
line that W are in Luxembourg coun-
try. We are stopped for a rest just
receive orders to W. again. They
keep changing us from one division tY
another quite often. This country
looks pretty fair and the people are
all very sociable so far as we can I'M
derstand them. We have a couple of
fellows in our company that can talk
their language so they do the interpret
ing.
The weather here isn't very cold,
but quite disagreeable on account of
it raining so much. The people here
are blowing today, there hasn't been
any snow yet, only a few showers.
We are staying in hay lofts and our
horses are all under cover so we
figure we are fairly fixed under the
circumstances. We are all betting and
hoping for the time when We will be
going back to the states, bet nobody
seems to know anything about it. |
received a Christmas box from my SIS
ter, as | sent her my Red Cross label
so she sen the box full of chocolate
candy which goes with us just like
ice cream sells in the hottest season.
The Y. NJ. G.. A. also treated us to a
package of cookies, a box of chocolate
and package OF cigarets. Oh course
we didn't have turkey for dinner, but
they did fairly we'll with US. | still
receive the Register once in awhile
the newest paper gets here first, but
they are all news to me. | see quite
a few have died from the FLU" 1t
certainly has played havoc in the
states this fall. | see by the papers
that the death rate has been higher
in the cantonments than it has been
in the A. E. F. 1t looks queer too,
as we are exposed to cold and wet
quite a bit more than we were in the
camps.
| see by the last paper that | got
of Johnny being wounded. The tanks
are quite an interesting part in fight
ing and it also seems to be quite a
dangerous place, he has made good in
becoming a sergeant; he has got the
"pep" in him all right to stay chat
high. | suppose most of the fellows
that were in camps in the states the
time the armistice was signed are all
home by now. l suppose the butter
business is quita short now. but | see
you are paying quite a price for cream
and it seems to creep a little higher
every fall.
Has Mrs. Carlson heard as to when
Fred is coming home? l suppose she
is getting anxious for his return by
now. Tell Ella that | was glad to get
her letter, she sure does fine for her
age, 1t tickled me about her asking
if they had churches in France and
the name Of the minister.
L intended to e m you folks Christ
mas greetings and am very sorry that
didn't get around to do it. however,
here's hoping that | will be back in
the states by next one and not have
to be hiking all over Europe. Have
you received the $50 yet. II 1t hasn't
reached you by the time this reaches

Engers am Rhine, Germany, Dec
%, 1918.-Dear Minnie: | received
your letter of October 2Sth, just a day
or so ago, so | counted it among my
mighty sorry to hear about the death
of Blanche Pierson. for she was al.
ways such a happy, sunshiny little
person. Where we have been, there
has been but little influenza and the
casualties have been much lighter
than in the states.
Well, | am finally settled down for a
stay in Germany. Engers is my town
and if you will look it up or the map,
you will find it on the east bank of
the river, a little north of Coblenz.
1t is a factory town of about $500 peo-
pie. Our quarters are the best we
have yet had in the army. Another
sergeant and | have a furnished room
by ourselves and a little girl takes
care of it for us. All We have to do
is to track in as little dirt as possible.
Christmas passed like all other hol-
days I'VE here, by just doing as liz
tie as possible. Christmas eve It
showed and the next morning we found
everything set for a picturesque
time. Spending the greatest day OF
the year in Germany, dead broke, did
not prove to be so bad after all, be-
NV " iGt,1n how aprtNynl tIn
day before and a little mail dropped
in Unexpectedly. In the afternoon
some pals came up to the room with
a mandolin and we had a little CON
cert and sing fest. In the evening we
were invited over to the house of
the lady that owns this place and Wis
tied by the light of the candles on the
Christmas tree.
| think the last time | wrote you
we were way back in France. Our
journey from there was made mostly
on foot under a full pack. The way
we came the hike was about $50 kilo-
meters, but it seemed nearer a thous-
and because of the hills and the wind
ings. In some places the road was
so crooked that we met ourselves com
ing back. Along the route we found
splendid hotel service in barns and on
the floors in peoples parlors or kitch-
ems. 1t is not out of the way over
here to bring in some straw and throw
it down in the living room and make
a bed on it. The only trouble is you
to roll out in the morning and
clean up your bed before the people
can get breakfast. When we finally
get a good bed ISSUED to us" we
couldn't sleep on the darn thing, it
was too soft. My bunkie suggested
shat we put a board in bed and when
one got to sleep the other was to'yank
it ont. | thought it would be better
TO put a few stones under us to make
things seem natural.
After living like a mule for four
days we finally came out in the
valley and hiked along the
bank for a day, then crossed over on
the "Kronprinz Wilhelm" bridge here
at Engers. The Rhine is about a
quarter of a mile wide here and
steamers are constantly going up and
down the river. The cities are almost
continuous along each side Of the riv-
er and all are factory towns. The
non-coms of the ambulance battalion
are going in together and organize a
separate mess. We hope to get a lit
tie better service.
Well, | must close. Write often.

 YANKEE PAPERS
 FOR SITUATION
MEXICAN CABINET OFFICER SHARPLY CRITICISES AMERI- CAN PRESS FOR ANTI-MEXICAN TENDENCIES; TAKES A RAP AT ROTTEN" POLITICIANS.

WASHINGTON. Dec. H. P) - Louis Cabera, secretary of treasury in President Carranza's cabinet, in a statement given out to Mexican newspapers and correspondents of American newspapers in Mexico City, declares that the present tense situ- ation between Mexico and the United States is the result of a deliberate anu-MeXican campaign carried on by American newspapers. Cabera is one ot the strongest anti-Americanists in Mexico.
 He asserted that the American newspapers are highly sensational and at the service of rotten politi- clans in any undertaking the latter may undertake. They have cunning ly given the American people a wrong impression of Mexico and in 50 doing have prot about strained relations between the two countries.
