WINTER BILLETS
ARMY OF BRITAIN LONDON, Oct. 1. During October 500,000 soldiers throughout Britain will transfer from tents to more comfortable winter quarters. The finding of winter billets for so many men has never been necessary before in England’s history. They will be accommodated in large and small country houses, halls, garages, and many buildings which must be largely re-equipped. Even so, it will be impossible to fine* enough space for all the soldiers in Britain, and many will remain in tents, which will be fitted with brick walls, fireplaces., and floors.
