With the Army of Occupation.

Sergt. J. Herschel North, with the
10th Engineers in the Army of Occu-
patton, wrote shortly after the armis-
tice that the forces had been halted in
Luxembourg to give each man chance
to write short letter. The army on
the Gath of December was far in ad-
vance of communications but halted
again to give each man an opportunity
to write one more brief letter. At
that time the Army of Occupation had
marched $50 miles and five days ra-
tions were being issued. Upon that
date his company was 20 miles north
of Coblenz and within five miles of the
Rhine.
In letter which reached here by
the same mail as the above letter, he
says:
We are at present about ten miles
east of the Rhine river and north OF
Coblenz. We have been in this town
for a week and [ think this is the end
of our trip. Our work consists mostly
in sketching and organizing the ground
between here and the front line, which
is thirty kilometer arc around Cob
LEM as center. / am working partly
in the field and partly in the office con-
solidating and tracing the sketches that
are made in the field.
The people here are giving US the
best treatment we have received any,
where. We have a:nice room to sleep in
and the people insist on cleaning it out
for us every day. They also refuse to
take any money for it. am charging
my views good deal in the past two
months.
Of course we are all very anxious to
get home but we can't tell thing
about when it will be. Personally
should think that we ought to be home
in the spring. It depends, | suppose,
entirely on when they get the peace
treaty fixed up and also the order they
follow in the transportation of troops
out of Europe.
The weather hasn't been very cold
yet but it has been rather wet and dis
agreeable at times. It is much better
down in the valley where we are 10
Gated than it is up on the hills where
we sometimes go to work.

TO be idle each week. Efforts are still
being made to get the fourth Sunday
