"Through snowy terrain In freezing temperature the MP's drove in an open Jeep the win ter doors had been taken off for greater vision. "We followed the long drive way of the castle, through the gates onto the main highway up to Sternberg, following the cold gray water of the Wurm See. Children were trudging to school with the day's necessities in Dacks on their backs. "Women formed in small lines' at the butchers' and bakers', all looking as if they had too little on for the bitter weather. The people think of but two things, food and warmth. For ests planted with loving care in straight lines are stripped ofi all limbs and undergrowth. Every loose piece of wood is carried home.

Now and then a woman, a small fig ure in the wind-swept field, is seen plowing. "The whole countryside smells of manure as both animal manure and human sewage is used for fertilizer. "Some Germans are using their cars now running them! on American gas. I "In Landsberg we arrested a German girl with, three cartons! of cigarettes given her by an American boy friend. The fellow was as mucn to blame as she, but we don't know who he is. so we put her In Jail for a week to wait trial. "We ate with the military government in Landsberg. A good Russian chef there really whips up a good meal steak m this case, with cream puns topped with Ice cream. I'll be glad when spring comes for it is hard to see even the enemy cold and hungry. "Finally we returned to our lonely castle. Home is where you hang your hat in the army, and even if it is an isolated cas tle it is nice to return to."
