If we do get home, that means the U. S., it will probably be some time later before we get turned loose to do as we please without having to hot-foot every time we hear a bugle. They don't bother me a great deal, for in fact I'm so used to them now that usually I am awake before they start calling.
There's nothing that needs be said about the way we have been fed, for we've surely

had all we wanted to eat ever since we came across. Perhaps some of it got rather tire- some, but it has been good eats and plenty of it ever since we got here. We got tired of "bully beef " several times, but got over it when we got where we could set up a regular mess.
Traffie is another thing that has had to be considered around here, for there's sure a lot of it. Nothing but long strings of motor trucks going up and back, with supplies and ammunition and men, some coming back. I believe there are more trucks in France today than in the U. S., for they're as thick as flies and of about twenty different makes, or more. The roads here help a lot. for they're mostly all good hard roads and fine for automobiles.
Horses aren't used at all for the transportation of supplies, that I've seen. I suppose they are scarce and also too slow. The horses that you do see around here are all very good stock and show that they have some good blood in them. Cattle are mostly of the Durham variety and look fine, but that's to be expected, as the pastures here are very good, and as yet are green and growing, although the trees have already shed their leaves.
I stopped at the Y. M. C. A. here the other night to see a ministrel show given by men of different units around here. It was very good. Regular vaudeville and orchestra and everything but beautiful women in low-necked gowns. It was the first show I've seen since last winter and was quite a treat.
The Elks of this area had a meeting the other night to see if we could have a social session and get together some time soon. We appointed a committee, and I don't know what they will do about it. Probably not much, as there's no place around here to have any big blow-out. There are a lot of the boys around, and out of fifty at the meeting. about thirty-five states were represented. I hope to take in a Masonie meeting before leaving here, if I get the opportunity, but that will not matter so much, for there'll be plenty of chance for that after I get to the states.
I was at a Reconnaissance School for a couple of weeks. That was surely a course of intensive training. They gave us everything from picking billets for troop to airplane photos, and we were supposed to adjust ourselves in that short time, to all these conditions that have taken years to develop. One thing about it, and that is, I got a lot of informa- tion that would have taken a lifetime any other way. It's very interesting work ands one fine thing to be doing with any sort of a unit. In that work you see the whole thing before anybody else gets a look, and besides, you are supposed to pick out billets, camps, detraining points, ete., and arrange for everything before the outfit comes up. That's what makes it so interesting.
For the last two weeks we've had some of the most beautiful weather you ever saw. This morning started out the same way, but along toward noon it clouded up and has rained ever since. One funny thing about this country is that if a cloud comes over, it's a sure bet that it will rain.
Some packages have been coming in from the States, most of them containing candy and chocolate. That's what is needed mostly. Tobacco is very plentiful here, and cigar- ettes are costing about half of what they do in the States, due to the fact that there is no tax on them. It makes it a lot better, for money isn't so very plentiful around here, and pay day is rather an uncertainty. It's a good thing that the government put a ban on sending smokes, for there are plenty of them around here for everybody. Another sure thing that the boys go after is jam, and if the people at home are wise, they'll have plenty of jam ready when they all get home and shove their feet under the table.
I must close for this time and am wishing all of you a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. Letters get here pretty regularly. Your son,
George.
