whether a brigadier ora private, who,
if he spoke at all of the Salvation Army
did not speak in terms of. fervent .gra-
titude for the aid that the Salvation

sizable body of troops move from one

and heir scanty outfits. Usually they
do not ask. for help from anyone in
reaching their destination. They find
lodgment in a wrecked shell of a•
house or in the corner of a barn. By
plain force and awkwardness they set
up their equipment, and very soon the
word is spread among the troops that
at•such-and-such a place the Salvation
Army is serving free hot drinks and
free doughnuts and free pies. It spec-
ializes in doughnuts, the Salvation
Army in the field does, the real, old-
fashioned, Hosie -made• ones that taste
of home to a home -sick soldier boy.
I did not see this, but one of my
associates did. He saw it last winter
in a dismal hole nn the Toul sector. A
file of our troops were finishing a
long hike through rain and snow,
over roads knee-deep in half -thawed,
icy slush. Cold and wet and miser-
able, they came tramping into a
clteeriess, half -empty town within the
sound and range of the German guns.
They found a reception committee a-
waiting them there -in the person of
two Salvation Army lasses and one
Salvation Army Captain.,, The wo-
men had a fire going in the dilapidat-
ed oven of a vanished villager's kit-
chen.
tine of them was rolling out the
hatter on a plank with an Old wine
bottle for a rolling pin and using the
top of a tin can to cut the dough into
circular strips. The other woman
was cooking the doughnuts, and as
fast as they were cooked the num serv-
ed then nut, spitting hot, to hungry,
wet boys, clamoring about the door,
and nobody was asked to pay a cent.
