Paris.-Complying with suggestions
made by various members OF the su-

ment, it is learned, has given special
instructions to all JugoS lav officers
O avoid clashe s with the Italians This
precaution was advised because there

ditional territory along the Dalmatian
coast.

were finishing dinner, Captain King
called us to attention and announced
that he was leaving US, having gotten
permission to proceed to the States for
immediate separation from the service.
This was more or less of a surprise 10
the most of us, for the reason that
he had announced only a short time
before that he would not think or leav-
ing but would stay with us as long as
we were in France. We learned later

We found that the French did not
celebrate Christmas as we do, so far
as the giving of gifts is concerned. They
do observe the day with special mass,
however and other appropriate cere'
monies. Their gift giving time is New

what our homes looked like, how our
women dressed, what our home life was,
how our cities and towns were con
structed and maintained, how we lived
and what particular line of business
each of US engaged in.
During January the weather became
quite cold. The rain ceased to some eX
tent, and occasionally n little snow fell.
The men were billeted in barns, and
found it necessary to keep fires going
a good part of the time in order to
make these places tenable. During the
day two or three men would be left at
each billet to tend these fires, which
were in stoves of Spanish manufacture.

Some Zero Weather
BY the latter part of January 1t was
really cold, the thermometer lowering
near zero, and the possibility of being
able to obtain furloughs to the leave
areas in the southern part of France
caused us to begin brushing up our
uniforms and saving our francs. These
