A very blue day. We had breakfast and I took care of the canteen all morning. Mr. J. Woods, a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, was here for dinner and talked of his experience at the front. Our bill of fare was stewed prunes and beans. The Germans are making awful noise. No baking because no flour. It makes life sad for the dear boys as the question is, “Any donuts or pie or cakes?” It makes one sad to say no.
