Kourdish village for the night, to "order what we want and not pay if we
do not want to." But we made it clear to him, that while we are not
extravagant in our wants, _we_ always pay for what we take. It is
customary in this country for villages to entertain soldiers free of
charge. At Bazarjik when we inquired concerning the health of the place,
an official said they had no sickness _except a few cases of smallpox,

was brought in as a proof.
