Xmas in Germany made a contribution of money to each unit. This will be used at New Year's feed It Is absolutely wonderful to think of what the Y, M. C. A. is doing along this line. Talk about feed— we are not used to having more served to us than we can eat. I sent my plate back the second time. I slackened my belt as much as possible but even then had to divide with another fellow as I couldn't find room for it all. Just imagine having to turn down good chicken in the army? Have you ever eaten sauercrout, Mildred? The people of the house here often bring us a dish to eat and I like it now. But they have some dishes that are too much for me and I often carry them down stairs in my mess tin and deposit the contents in the river. Last night they brought in some buttermilk soup -certainly a funny dish—and it has a very funny taste. It is in my mess tin now wait- ing to be dumped In the river. They make good salad: We often get a plate of salad. Potatoes and vegetables are plentiful and we never turn them down. But they have no meat. Thus potatoes, vegetables, sauercrout and soup keeps them alive. This is January 5th and I have not finished your letter yet. Since I wrote the first part of your letter we have had a New Years' feed. It was almost as good as the one at Christmas but did not have quite as much meat and vege- tables. The demobilization scheme is oc- cupying most of our thoughts now. We are beginning to realize that the war is over.
