58

cadets peraded in the
Declaration Day perade down
town. I didn't march as I
am on guard. Corporal of the
guard. It is not bad, as I get
eight hours at a stretch and
then I am through. Schrieber
arrived with 60 cadets from
Italy last night. We are
laying off for a few days
until the Italy fellows get a
little work on these machines,
as they were flying Farmens
and these are Caudrons.
The Boche have Soissons
and we are as far back as
Loupeign. Poor old Jouaignes.
I hope the Devils sleep well
in the barracks we built for
them. -- Pete Peterson just
