COULDN'T TALK
 TO THE NURSES
Private Speer Tells of tn Discomforts of Being a
 Soldier.

Dissatisfied with the treatment he received while in the United States army engaged in battle in France, Private Francis Speer of APO Warren street, who received his discharge on Feb. 2S, at Camp Devers, tells of many instances where the American soldier had to face many hardships. Perhaps the hardest blow of all aside from nearing the bugle call" was the rule that prohibited a private talking with a nurse.
 The nurses, according to Private Speer's story, were favored with the exclusive companionship of officers only, and at the sector where he was located with his regiment the seth Artillery, privates could only dis course with nurses on the sly. Then a gain he reports poor food served in the hospitals. He had been wounded in his right leg by a shrapneI Aug. 12, at Death Valley. in the battle of Cha teau Thierry, and was inca paCitated for nearly five months. During his stay at the hospital he reports the food was not up to it's standards in wholesomeness.
 He was also unfortunate enough to spend New Years on a liquid diet" because he refused to comply with the rules that required men to resume work immediately after convaIes- cence. Private Speer relates that men just out of the hospitals were put to rather hard work, and those who found themselves incapable of per forming the required duties were put on the liquid diet" and the law breakers clothes were taken from him, so that he may make no escape. He tells this story quite vividly, due to his personal experience.
 However. Private Speer feels that all these petty misfortunes were only a part of the regular program and were received as 9 matter of course. Even at the time of authorization for America.
 Private Speer tells that the private was not appreciated and many of those who were scheduled to leave France were turned back on the point of boarding the vessel because of their wild cheering and singing goodbye J 1nce-" Nevertheless he Is glad Of . tLIe experience. but happier to be home in the United States.
 i Private Speer was one of the Ma l tionaI Guardsmen and he entered the | service in July. 1917. He embarked ! for France in March of 1918, where i he was for the past year. He was l prevtr usIE- employed by the Fisk Rub Der Company.

1t is in this department of dress that

some sressmakers who feel that smart

However, there is no reason for de-
spair in that, for the tunic blouse, as

thing to make and no poor thing to
purchase. Its fabric and the Ornamen-
