A SEVEN DAYS’ VACATION

For Yankee Soldiers in England, AH Expenses Paid. London, Dec. 13.—Thousands of American soldiers in France probably will be given leave to come to England with their transportation expenses being paid to places in the United Kingdom. In answer to a request of the American authorities in France, if the men should be cared for in England, American army headquarters here has replied affirmatively. The men will be granted seven days dating from the time of their arrival in England. Up to this time the only American soldiers who have came to England have been those of the two divisions brigaded with the British armies in France. Since these divisions rejoined the American armies, only a few men have been permitted to come to 0 England.
