Flundreds of officers and men from Camp Devens passed through this city Wednesday afternoon en route to spend the holiday at their homes in many of the cities and towns of the state. The troop trains were of immense interest to the throngs of holiday travelers and there was overy effort to fraternize with the men, who, however, were not allowed to leave their coaches ‘The soldier boys were all in cheer- ful mood at the prospect of getting home for Thanksgiving and their only complaint was that they were hungry and that anvthing in the line of “eat would be mighty welcome. From among the crowds that watched the trains there were many volunteers to perform the service of bringing sand- wiches, pies, fruit and candy to the men, who passed out the money to those who were willing to do the er- rands for them. A howl went up from one of the coaches when some pies were deliver- ed to the soldiers within at a cost of 40 cents each, and the men got a taste of the H. C. L., even for men in uni- form when they were touched up for 15 cents each for ham sandwiches. This was up near the head end of the train. Farther back at a point to which the 12-car train stretched the sol diers who were occupying rear coach- es were in a lower priced belt and were_getting their sandwiches at a nickel each, which all goes to show that a man may be lucky even in pick- ing out his seat in a train. The khaki clad hosts presented an appearance of health that indicates that camp lfe is agreeing with them and they were in merry mood, chat- ting with all'who eame near the cars, but showing particular interest, of course, in the representatives of the feminine sex who were crowding the seation approaches.
