Of course I can't say where we are or I would. We came to within about five miles of here by train, being two days and nights on the way, getting here about six in the morning, We left for camp about eight on foot and have been here ever since and guess we'll be here all winter if_the war doesn’t end before then. We are in low, long, wooden bulldings about a hundred men in a shack. The floor is bare ground. Fach man has a sack of straw for a mattress and three blankets. It is pretty cold most of the time. For two days now it_has beenr raining most of the time. When it rains much one don't have to go out any more than is necessary so we can’t say we're un- BOY SCOUTS IN FINAL DRIVE TODAY Subscriptions Received To Date Total 409 For $45,500. Enthusiasm runs high emong the Boy Scouts for their final drive today for the Liverty Loan. Bank officials are greatly pieased with the present resuits of the week, but the boys say they still have a punch left. This aft- erncon at 2.15 o'clock, the final bat- tle will take place, when the special parade of all the scouts will take place. The earnestness of he boys in this matter has spread beyond the city, for on Friday night, Scout Com- missioner Bruce received a telephone call from Fort Wright. The boys over there have heard of the parade, and are anxious to lend their help both to the scouts and to the Liberty Loan campaign. Buglers Allen and Ostrosky told Mr. Bruce that every effort is be- ing made to bring up a drum and bugle corps from the fort composed bf eight bugles and three drums. Of course the offer was gladly accepted, this, along with the Drum corps of Troop 10, will provide for & unique parade for Norwich. The Scouts assembly will be blown at 2 o'clock sharp at Union square, 2nd ell troops that can are urged to bring with them banners that will ad- vertise the Liberty Loan. The securing of subscriptions to count for individual scouts, closed on Friday night at 9 o'clock, aithough the reports are not all in. All day today scouts may secure subseriptions where they can, but in each the subscriber must accompany the scout at once to the bank to make the initial payment. This holds up to 6 o'clock. The re- port for Friday follows: Friday “To Date Troop Subs. Amt Subs.

Football Rally Held at the Close of School on Friday—Orchestra Held Rehearsal in Slater Hall. ¥ At the close of school at the N. F. A.. Friday a school rally was held pre- ceding the game with Hartford this (Saturday) afternoon. The rally was held under the leadership of Dr. Bun- nell and Cheer Leaders Edward Hall, 19 and Charles Solomon, ‘18. Mr. Congdon spoke of the N. F. A. be- ing able to play Hartford which has an attendance of about two thousand pupils and he also spoke of sportsman- like cheering. Coach Peck said that the student body should be behind the team and many times cheering would bring victory from what seemed de- feat. He also spoke of the reed of keeping still while the signals were being given. Moanager Clinton Jones of the foot- ball team then said he hoped to see a targe crowd at the game to help the team finish the season financially ahead. Many school cheers were practiced under the cheerleaders and the school songs under Frederic Cranston. Th Academy orchestra held a re- hearsal in Slater hall, Friday after- noon after the rally. Appointed Executive Secretary. Miss Margaret T. Corwin of New Haven has been appointed executive mecretary of the committee on wom- ar’s activities of the Connecticut state council of defense. She will assume her new duties in a short while. Miss Corwin has been, since 1912, directing & considerable part of the work of the Yale University Press, particularly that phase of its work connected with the publication of books. She is a £raduate of Bryn Mawr. Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S [N SJ',Q R1»A Held at; to put up with is the great scarcity of tobacco. The Y. M. C.

Sage, of 121 Cedar -street. this city. Corporal Sage is now in France with the American forces. In his letter Corporal Sage says: One of our officers has bet three hundred dollars that we eat Christ- mas dinner in the states. Don't know what to think ahout it myself. To all appearances we are preparing to spend the winter here. We have heard the big guns for a day or more now, 0 you see we aren't so very far away from the battle line. Don't think we'll leave hers before spring though. Another regiment of soldiers must have landed here after us as a lot of men came through here yes- terday, some of them stopping here.
