"The Day"
----
Will you ever forget it, - you who were fortunate enough to be in Nevers the night of the Eleventh? Were you one of those who, locked arm in arm with a happy Frenchman, paraded the Rue de Commerce, shouting "Vive La France!", finally pushing into a little cafe crowded to the doors with soldiers and civilians pleading with tears in their eyes for a little attention from "Garcon?"
What a night! Any man with a bugle, drum, flag, tin pan or large rosette in his buttonhole, immediately became leader of a parade organized on the spot. At the arch the crowd was thickest. You either bought a tricolor from a chic little mademoiselle or you didn't - but in either case you received a cheery "Merci, m'sieu."
When the cart containing the smiling German prisoners made its appearance, driven by a little poilu bubbling over with mirth and vin rouge, were you one of those who jumped on and stuck a little American flag in their caps? Didyou stand on the street corner with three other companions, singing the "Marseillaise" in quartette style, making an awful mess of it, but getting enthusiastic support from the audience? Were you invited to café en famille with the man who sells hot chestnuts in front of the news stand, with whom you have a speaking acquaintance?
But wait! Perhaps you were grabbed by a cognac'd Frenchman and in spite of your struggles, given a resounding smack on both cheeks while the crowd roared with laughter? It happened to us and we're not ashamed in the least - only a little sore. This bird had a week's growth on his face.
And then the windup, - reminding the driver of an ambulance bound for where you should be after Taps, that at some time or other you had helped him roll his pack and that this was the time to show his appreciation! Picking out a nice comfortable seat on the tail lamp you immediately fell asleep, awaking only after you'd reached Topside, which is about a half mile from your barracks. Were you there? We were, and Boy, we wouldn't have missed it for the world!
----
TURKEY AFTER ALL
----
In spite of announcements in the press that there would be no Thanksgiving turkey this year, we understand there will be plenty of it for the men of this Center. No that the war is probably over, and that the day will be fervently observed all of the United States, the authorities of the Red Cross have instructed their local representative. Captain Carter to make arrangements for furnishing the entire Center with turkey. It is hoped that this can be done by the cooperation of all concerned.
