With pleasant memories of the
/ holidays the remaining portions
of cakes and cookies from the folk
at home mysteriously vanished
Christmas cards read and re-read
for the ump-teenth time, thought
fully stored away, we face 1874" as
thousands of our comrades do
with a determination to bring our
foe to unconditional surrender as
quickly as possible =. to rejoin our
families, and we will.
Commentator" Our Command
ing officer, Colonel Russell r. Loud
en-, speaking to officers and men of
the several ON companies and Hq.
Det. at Theatre No. 3 last WedneS-
day evening, was highly impressed
and obviously quite pleased over the
crock fences which have been con-
Structed around each building in our
area. Remarked Col. Louden: 81
wish to take this opportunity to con-
graduate all of you for the improved
appearance of your area :. for your
added efforts to make this condition
possible. 1t is my sincere wish that
you continue the good work" And
with such inspiring words, how can
we do anything but our best.

i Having received letters daily from
points east and west for the past
month and unable to answer them
because of his attention to a Ger
tain charming young lady" at the

i"GI. CaSonova'S" confession
/ Answer to lasI weeks annoyms
! The Sgt. who got out of his bunk at
! l 80 to make long distance call was
not because of "love via long dis
! tance," only to find if his heart
! throb had left for New York City
without telling him goodbye she
had The guilty one who spends
hours in the library in quest of
strange books is none other than

! A certain well known Pfc. in and
around Wacville has just returned
from furlough. We had reason to
believe he was married during that
time, SO one of the boys broached
the subject cautiously. Says the
Pfc, why marry and make one
woman happy when can stay single
and make many women happy"
