Strange Little Village.

Villars-le-Pautel is strange little
old village with about three hundred
and fifty inhabitants in normal times.
II lies % kilometers from Bour-
bonne les Bains and forty from
Chaumont, the headquarters of the
American expeditionary forces. 1t is
not dissimilar TO most French viii
lagos in it's long rows of houses, its
mud and general clutter. The resi-
dences of the people are built to-
gether just as on 10th or other of the
more popuious streets of Washington,
only-between each house is stable.
Before each stable and directly in
front of the customary single front
window of the residents domicile is a
large pile of stable refuse; this
scarcely three feet away from the
front doorsteps of humble little
homes. The houses themselves are
hardly more than twenty feet high
from the ground to the gables. All
are built of stone and generally con-
tain two downstairs rpoms and two
above, all low-ceilinged. In the front
room is the general assembly room
for the family, oftentimes the kitchen
and bedroom also. The houses are
cold, damp and hard to heat. There
rs no such thing as oil or electric
light. Night after night, during the
long period of waiting in stables or
houses. these District boys who once
lived in most comfortable surround
ings have read their letters from
home or their papers by the light of
candles.

Appreciate Simple Things.

Whatever else these lads have learn

France, they have come to appreciate
the more simple things of life and

some of the simple little habits these
District lads have fallen into while
away. But they will get over that.
The family the shocks and the boys

The 10th Field Artillery is known
as one of the hard luck units of the
American expeditionary force. After
long months of training and priva
tions abroad it did not get into the
fighting. though reaching the battle
area just before the signing of the
armistice. Every man in the outfit
was primed for the boche and today
keen disappointment prevails among
these lads that they never met the
German The 18th did get into the
common scrap, but there were some
disappointments, some heartaches, but
the 10th Field Artillery though hav-
ing won plaudits for it's expertness
with the famous French 75s and gen.
eral efficiency was detained back of
the lines through sheer circumstance.
Story of the 10th.
After leaving Washington the 10th
went to Admission. Ala, and remained
| there until June IS. last year. when
| the regiment went to Camp Mills,
| leaving the latter point on June 27.
On June 80 many of the officers sailed
from New York. while the regiment
and twenty-nine officers debarked
! from Baltimore. The regiment sailed
| upon the steamship Keemun, while
the remaining officers departed upon
] the Demosthenes, all vessels being in
| the same convoy. On July 13 the
| transports and convoy were attacked
by a submarine just off England. A
torpedo passed beneath the stern of
| the ship on which the District officers

chasing in from every direction drop

ing to live under the insanitary condi-
tons prevailing, set about to clean
the streets of the town and try at
least to convert the general environ
ment into a livable one. For which
they received no thanks-only arous-
ing the antagonism of the French
people, who declared they could see
no sense in such process anyway.
Hadn't they and their ancestors lived
under these conditions for centuries
But the District boys went about their
task under the direction OF Maj. Her
ron. the town 'commandant," and to-
day Villars-le-Pautel, Ormoy and
Aisey are cleaner than they have been
for decades. but conditions are far
from lovely. Streets still are made
and while livestock, geese and chick :
ems roam their way around over the
streets and into and through the
houses the District boys continue their
perpetual fight for healthful living
conditions-condition at least deem
ed necessary to health in America
Time Drags Heavily.
Notwithstanding the frequent ar
tillery problems which are given the
District batteries to solve. time drags
heavy upon their hands. Under in
structionS from American headquar-
ters, tens of thousands of American
troops today are repairing French
roads. and District boys are not ex-
empted. though there are fewer
highways to keep repaired in the
region of Villars-le-Pautel. Ormoy
and Aisey than in the region where
the 10Th Division is stationed.
Many hours are spent on and at
the roadside cracking and shoveling
stone. but the District lads welcome
this work as a diversion and COM
plain not the least, for it gives them
something to do during the period
while they are waiting for their re-
turn to the United States.

Wait for Needed Horses.

The 10th waited here for weeks for
sufficient horses and transportation to
the front line areas. Wher The order
finally did come for movement to-
ward the front, the District boys
loaded their machine guns upon fiat
cars and left Meucon November
for Grand. in the department of the
Vosges. this point being Just PACK
of the Verdun and St. Mihiel sectors.
There they remained from November
10 to November 26, when they went
to Mamois. leaving there December 3
for the present billeting area.
Notwithstanding the fact the 10th
was held up owing to the lack of
horses, the only ones they had being
those which had been gassed during
the service at the front or those in
dying condition. they showed great
earnestness in their work Disap-
pointed. it is true. but nevertheless
true to their military duty.

Scene at Minstrel Show.

For many months the District boys
at Villars-le-Pautel.O Ormoy and Aisey
had no Y. M. c. A. huts or amuse-
ments. Comparatively recently a
''Y' secretary showed upon the scene
at Villars ard there took possession
of a small mess hall wherein the
boys now find plenty of fun. Trav
cling entertaining companies from
other units of the American expe-
ditionarv force oftentimes drop in
and could find no more appreciative
audiences anywhere in the world
than those lonesome, waiting Dis
trict boys in this billeting area. Upon
a stage scarcely twelve feet wide
and as many deep a minstrel show
was given. The scenery was about
six inches above the actors heads
and across the stage were a dozen
lighted candles serving the purpose
of footlights. Those blackface SOL
dier entertainers cracked their jokes.
sang their songs and cut their capers
before an audience that packed the
little old building to it's doors. The
windows. even, were dotted by over
seas caps and smiling faces. Cheers
and applause followed every jest.
even though they sometimes were
crude-shouts of approval every
song. That minstrel show would
have been ''booed" by these very
same lads in any theater in Wash
ington But way over there, "far
away from nowhere" it was great
show-a bowling success.
