As we approached the restaurant we saw a German officer sitting with a lady on the balcony. He sneered at us and turned his back. On his account we were not allowed inside but were obliged to sit out in the rain at a lit- tle iron table while we drank a cup of very bad coffee without cream and sweetened with saccharine.

Camp ‘Devens—Chimney Fires—Death of Mrs. Owen Riley—Fifteen Degrees Below Zero Sundcy. State division No. 1, which includes Westerly and tae rest of Washington county and East and West Greenwich of Kent county, wiil be requested to furnish at least 18 of the more than 200_Rbode Islanders in the last incre- ment. of the first draft quota to be sent to Camp Devens within the next 10 days to fill vacncies due to rejec- gions - at the cantonment. :Captain Georze H. Webb, director of the draft, stated Saturday that selection boards have been ordered to notify as many men next in liability order to go as there are vacancies at the camp corre- sponding to each district in the state. The total as now estimated is.208, a re which Captzin Webb says may " readjusted when more reports on results of physical examination at the camp are received. The number of men which each di trict must send, as now compiled fol- lows: Providence—Ward 1, 5; ward 3, 5; ward 4, 2: ward 6, 8; §. §; ward 10 11: Cranston, 9; Paw- tucket district 1. 26: Pawtucket dis- trict 2, 2i; Central Falls, 11; Newport, 16; Woonsocket 12; state division 1, 18; state division 2, 1; state division 2.711; state division 4, 7; state di- vision § 11. The 200 men recently sent to Fort Adams from the last increment have not all been eramined by army doc- tors, and when reports are made Cap- tafn Webb states. that more vacancies will probably. result from - rejections there. These vacancies wiil also have to be filled. inasmuch as the draft res- uiations require selection boards to maintain their full complement or quota in service. The men to go from each district| will be selected in the order in which they stand, those next in order onthe lists in their respective districts being the first to go...

NORWICH . BULLETIN, By Lieut. J. HARVEY DOUGLAS MONDAY;, DECEMBER 31, Fourth Canadian Mounted Rifles A True and Thrill sentries avoided us while we sat there, as if we had been a couple of lepers. We cursed the whole German army and hoped some day to be given the joy of commanding a cap full of German prisoners. We were more fortunate than the men who, on each of four walks were allowed to take were conducted to a different cemetery. They say that varicty is the spice of life. If taking 2 man to a different cemetery each time ety, than these men certainly led a spicy existence. Another privilege . we considered ourselves entitled to was thé use of the small balcony overlooknig the street. We officers had no place given us where we could be alone and take a little exercise. Though not of a grasp- ing disposition, when we thought of the life of ease led by the German of- ficers in England, we decided to de- mand everything it was possible to get he goes for a walk constitutes vari- | "Note the vast number of plain both for ourselves and the men. We were advised that an official applica- tion to the Governor of Cologne was necessary. This was made out in writ- ting and signed by us all. ‘Waited Four Months. After nearly two months of waiting permission to use the balcony was given. During this period we had a visit from Mr. Jackson, the American Ambassador’s secretary, to whom we complained about the delay to our ap- plication. The inspector. who was Dresent, was greatly annoyed at this coplaint which however, had the de- sired result of hurrying up a decision. Every fine day after that we moved chairs outside and sat in the sun or walked slowly up and down to get back some of the strength we had lost through months of idleness. The peo- ple in the street would often stop and stare at the caged animals pacing up and down in the lnclnsure in (ront of BALTIC.

With the thermometer reading: 20 degress below zero Sunday mornins at 7.15, Baltic people held their ears on their wav to early mass. Sunday was the coldest day in Baltic in the last 25 years. One thermometer in the western part of the village show- ed 22 degrees below zero. Milkmen arriving in Baltic Sunday morning said it was a recordbreaker at the be- ginning of winter.

Of course, up to this time we had the run of the courtyard in which we religiously tried to take evercisc every | day, but there was such a crowd that we were continually bumping into men and jarring our injured members until finaly we gave it up. The men were allowed to stay in the courtyard till 8 o'clock in summer and 7 oclock in winter and according to the season of the year they had to be inbed by 9 or 8 o'clock. .As davlight saving was in vogue, the lights were seldom turned on in the men’s wards, | but the officers were not obliged to re- tire before ten.

At heart he is a fine fellow and his bést qualities are brought out under the trying con- ditions of life in a prison hospital. After the evening meal the men would often gather in a circle in. the courtyard round a man playing a mouth organ and indulge in a little “close harmony.” This crowd would | be usually be swelled by musically in- clined Frenchmen and Russians. Wat- kins and Hallam considered themselves second only to Caruso and John Mc- Cormack and led the singing. These entertainments always started well, but had a weak finish. The police corporal had a strong aversion to the English and took delight in squashing any attempt at amusement on their part. As soon as one of the “barber shop” chords would reach his ears he would order the guard to clear the courtyard at once. There would be a great shouting of “Los” and “Heraus™ and all the patients would slink up to their wards.

A bill unifring the requirements of all three is being prepared now by the housing commit- tee of the council of national defense. Construction of houses for workmen has been staried alrcady by the snip- ping board at places where the need | appeared to be greatest.
