NOTHING TO DO NOW
BUT DRILL, HE SAYS

The 59th Pioneer CDelawsre) Regi-

ated with colOred electric lights, was
erected and an excellent Christmas pro-

it was stationed, Colonel Reed states,
and the boys and girls had a delight
ful time with the soldiers. Captain !.
d. Bush, as Santa Claus, distributed
pound boxes Of candy ana souvenirs to
the children. The celebration OF the
day was a great surprise to the French

ad.eu Of Christmas.
Colonel Reed says that the soldiers
had a most enjoyable day despite that
turkey was selling al si.25 a pound ;
oranges 10 cents each; dates and figs,
so cents a pound.
All the officers and enlisted men were
given souvenirs, such as penknives,
match box holders, cigar and cigarette
lighters and holders, cigarette cases,
etc, which have additional value as
souvenirs IN that they were purchased
in Metz.

talions within a radius Of 10 miles OF
each other and the men are billeted in
houses or barns and are as comfortable
as circumstances permit" Colonel Reed
states. adding that the men are getting
plenty Of food. With their rations,
the men are receiving tobacco and
candy, he states.
The soldiers receiYed their first is
sue Of candy the day before Christmas.
AS they had been waiting for about a
month and half. each mans share was
about a pound. The men are allowed
one-quarter pound every 10 days.
I'VE are still marking time as there
Is nothing to do but drill now as all
construction has ceased" Colonel Reed
says. He does not state the name OF
