No, dear reader, this is not an attack by the Germans, this Is on ly a snow ball fight In one of the many barracks. On this particular occasion a youngster from Georgia had just ‘shed” his clothes, and was in the act of getting into a nice warm bed, when some heartless chap hit him on the neck with a nice juicy snowball, that oozed down his back, sending schlvers up his spine and poetical lenguago from his tongue. It is not uncommon for a Sammle to go to his "bun” and undress preparatory to go lng to bed, and on turning back his blankets find a large pile of snow de corating the bottom one. And what a novelty It Is to some of them, who never before saw any snow. They dance and play In It, trying to make statutes of their company captain or one of their dlgnt&ed sergeants. Some will stand outdoors for a long time to let It fall on and cover their over coats and then walk in the barracks to proudly exhibit it. Woe be unto the one who tries to brush It off. Bread toasting is a favorite .sport amongst them now. Walk Into the any cold night when the wind Is whist- ling around the corners and the snow Is flying, and you are sure to find a bunch of Sammies crowded around a red-hot stove toasting bread, cracking jokes, telling of their experiences of the day, and of how they intend to take Berlin” next July.
