'his training program was set rolling by an inspiring message n Colonel Manning, our regi ital commander, whose words on neeasion of Armistice Day out the maneuver area were report- to you. This is the nrst time Armistice Dav that the Col li has addressed the assembled :ers and men of the 120th In- h Colonel said: "The exist- La nf nur country as a democ- t and our right to live under lovernment of. our own cnoosing at stake.

We are determined that no nation or group of nations shall deprive ns of our freedom of speech, of our freedom of the press or of our freedom to worship according to the dictates of our own consciences. We are determined that our way of life shall prevail in America. We are determined that our flag shall wave forever over this land of free men. "It will be a long struggle and a bitter one. It means sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears. It will require faith, courage, loyalty, en durance;' and heroism. AU these we have, all these we will main tain. No enemy can shake our faith or lessen our courage and our loyalty. No enemy troops can equal our courage or our heroism. Cemented with these spiritual val ues is the will to victory the un conquerable will of the American soldier to fight this war through to total victory: on the land, on the sea, in the air, at the peace table. "I speak to you today as soldiers, as men who wear the uniform of your country. Not every one can do so, I " speak of the privilege it is, of the duties and responsibil ities it imposses. You are aware that you cannot put a uniform on a civilian today and have a soldier in that uniform tomorrow. The introduction of new weapons has made modern combat complicated. The soldier has much to learn, and he cannot learn too much to be efficient in combat, to guard his health so he can maintain his fighting strength, to protect him self against enemy weapons and activities.- .

We must be hander fighters and better soldiers than they are. We must give them more that they can take, j We must take more than tbay can give. We most outfight them wherever ve meet them. To do this means hard work day in and day out for all of us. We must concentrate on everything we do and get the most out of it We must do every job well and in the short est possible time. . . . Time will not permit much repetition. You cannot well afford to miss any part of it. Write your folks at home that they must do their part by staying well. Let them know that you are needed here and that you cannot come home to sit with them or to nurse them if they get sick. A doctor can do more for Grand ma's cold or Aunt Susie's stomach ache than you can. Tell them that Thursdays and Fridays are just as busy days for you as Mondays and Tuesdays, that you have work to do on Saturday mornings, that you will be home on the week-ends when you are entited to a pass and will stay for a while when your time comes for a furlough." I am purposely leaving out por tions of the speech, for obvious reasons which will be apparent to you all. It would not do to tell the actual training program we are .undergoing. The Colonel has been over this material, and has "cen sored" that portion which he feels should not be made public. We must stop waste and losses in every form. Heavy taxes will be required of our citizens and enormous amounts of defense, bonds will be purchased by them, j We must reduce the quantity of food going into the garbage cans. There is ample food for allbut waste cannot be justified "I stated that we are engaged now in a total all-out war. To accomplish victory requires plen ty of hard work with long hours.

( Store : . Bade from London ! 1 J. ...... V ? f t At a press conference in Washing ton. Crown Prince Ola of Norway tells newspapermen that because of 1 military reverses in Russia and Libya, Germany is taking troops out of occupied Norway, Private Charlie G. Caldwell, and Private James K. Franklin. 1st Lt George E. Plott, com manding officer of Company H, of Waynesville, has promoted Private First Class Raymond G. Queen to grade of corporal. One of the most interesting of the recent training programs I went to was an all-day session in chemical waref are under the direc tion of Lieutenant Colonel Randall we attended a rather long, but very interesting lecture on modem chemical warfare and employment of gasses in combat work. This was followed by a written examina tion. It is important that every soldier be able to recognize the various gasses employed in war fare today, for his own protection and the protection of his fellow soldiers to whom he may give warning in case of a gas at tack. Verified information issued from the War Department indi cates very clearly that gas is already being used on battlefronts in parts of the world, and so this information is vital to all soldiers. The school stressed the fact that gas need not be feared, that we have the best in equipment and knowledge to combat all gases, lethal and otherwise. This lec ture was followed by a motion picture, a training film which I imagine is restricted, so I can't tell you what it was about, except that it clearly showed the impor tance of the study we were under taking. In the afternoon, we went out to a training field near the 120th Infantry garrison area. In the field were exploded several of . the most common gases and the most dangerous gases, and we rushed up after each explosion to whiff the gas so that we would be able to recognize it instantly wherever GOOD FOOD Always . . . .

The gases were of varied odors, from which smelled distinctly to me like the leaves of geraniums to which reminded me of being in a silo where there was . freshly ground sileage. Under the direction ,of the chap lain and the supervision of the band director, a regimental glee club is being organized, to act as a choir for our Sunday morning and evening services as well as the Wednesday night devotional. The glee club's first meetings have been well attended, and it promises to be something good for the regi ment as well as an outlet for any musical talent which may be hiding in the regiment. We have as has been reported to you, our new Ham mond electric organ installed in the chapel, so our church services take on a very religious air. From all reports reaching here, it must be pretty cold up around Waynesville. We have been for tunate so far in that we have had no snow, except an occasional flurry this last day or so. It is damp, though, so we feel what little cold is here as much as the lower temperatures in the mountains.
