BY SPECIAL TEAM FROM THE REMOUNT STATION SNIFFS FROM THE REMOUNT SMOKE SMELLERS (Remount House No. 4) Something that happens fifty times a day—Tress pulling this on us. “Oh boy, only ten more days." Each day he takes 6ft one,number. What does he mean? Private Mahler can’t get a wink of sleep until all three engines are running at night. Force of habit is so strong he can’t wake up until they stop. # We read an article once about some one operating on a mule to make it voice less. Don't stop at one whoever you are; there are several hundred out here that don’t even stutter. The owls never bother us here, thank you; too lonesome! Brave, bold and daring "Snooky" Walker is still trying to figure how many days it is until “life shall be real." Is it so long as that. "Snooky,” or is your arithmetic limited. Here’s something that had us puzzzied. The answer in vain did we'seek Why we had to do “Fire watch’’ every three nights. And was off only opce in a week? . Answer —Brenjten went on a furlough. . Hartmann, "The Wild Man From Mon tana," keeps looking at the calender now. He made application for a furlough to take place Deg. 1. Keep looking Houck; It’s a long way off but you'll find it. At last we have Allen the wicked "pill pusher" believing the world was not made in a day. He and Edwards are following In the footsteps of their fathers, doing the "wood butcher" act. There’s nothing to write about Sergt. Huebatter, he doesn't do a thing but work. Go your limit "Barge," we haven't the ambition ourselves. We have a little hose cart; Painted red as Ink, And when start to kick it We always stop to think. The dog-goned thing is wood and iron; Your foot Is flesh and hope. And all the pains you get for it Will likely be your own. So never kick a hose cart; Just take a’second glance, And you will find, keep this In mind. Your foot has not a chance. Moral —Be generous in your own behalf Remount Roster o— - Z_ -o The Remount Depot is In deep mourning and sorrow over the death of one of Its most popular, and well liked men, Private Walter C. Sun derland, who was struck and In stantly killed by lightning during the tarrlflc storm last Saturday, the 27th. Our sympathy goes to his mother, Mrs. Jessie Sunderlin, of Meadevl|le, Pa,, but we hope that Mrs. Sunderlin will be sustained by the thought that her son has done his bit for his country, and Is just one more who has given his life for the cause of democracy. O - (> One hundred more men arrived thl:< 1 week to take the place of those who are expecting to leave. The promise i« very good, and lota of pep.. we’re all going to help to keep the Remount in first place, where it. has always been. The rnusicalcH. entertainments and mov ing pictures at the "Y" this week were unsurpaanabh* The attendance fine, and enjoyed by all. We wish to extend many thank# to those laciiea of Augusta who afford uh much pleasure, and we hope that they will come again. We a|so wish to thank Mr. Brewer, of the *Y’ for his ef forts in securing these elaborate enter tainments for us. Did you notice Newman, alias "Pa jamaa" in that big picture? If we all looked like him, ‘t would be hard to dis tinguish the Remount from the North Pole. But anyhow'. "Pajamas'' claims that the glasses are an absolute necessity for his health. We know that the boy don't like to "see" the'dlfference between the blue and the red. How about it, Es ther? Macaroni is made by Italians, Chop Suey is made by the Hoys. Stew Is the dish hits the Irish, And Farquhar’s gravy was made for the boys. Yes, Farquhar can sure put out the gravy, as well as various other eatables. How about that Jazz band for the Re mount? The SCRIBBLER was told that we have among our midst enough talent and to form a real jazz band. W ewant that piano player, mandolin, guitar, trombone, cornet and Holin play ers, ami also our friend Heck to report at the Y. M C. v \ Thursday evening about 7 p. tn., and we’ll all get together. The lost has returned. Pastore of the Remount Company is back from the base. From The Publications Section M. G, T. C. The Operations Section are very proud, beoati.se of the fact that they have in their midst, Major Ryan, of the English Army. The major was formerly chief instructor of the Aider shot School, the most famous physical training school in the world The crack 28th division were put in tip-top shape At this camp by Major Ryan’s most wonderful P. T. system, and there is no doubt that they will come through victorious in every skirmish that they encounter with the dirty Hun. At the present time, Major Ryan is inoculat ing the men at this camp with the fa mous “Machine Gun Click,” via his most instructive P. T. drills. Another “Bright Light” which the Operations Section boast of, is Cap tain James of the British Army. It will no doubt interest the men to know that the captain has seen more than his share of actual service on the other side. A very significant incident, is that Juat before being sent to this camp, Captain James was with a regi ment in the front line trenches, fight ing Boches back, and after a most furious battle, captain was fortunate enough to be amongst the seven offi cers and few men that still remained alive out of the entire regiment. Some record, men. Captain James Ashmore of the Oper ation Section, is right on the job these days. The captain as you all know is the athletic director of ('’amp Hancock, has started to equip all the companies with athletfv paraphernalia, tn order that the men may enjoy themselves at whatever game they care for. includ ing boxing, football, soccer, basketball, and several others too numerous to mention. The Operations Section welcome the new addition vs George K. Henken. who has been appointed publicity agent, of Camp Hanc.v k. by Major L. A. Kunzig, chief of op* rations. The major cer tainly made a good move in this mat ter, and is to be complimented on his choice Wonder what the personnel office will do without George? Wonder wnat Private McDade does with his nigats? He surely doesn’t use them for sle< p. as he was found fast asleep over his drawing board the other day. Privates Young. Floyd and McDade, have had their schedule changed. Can you imagine this trio aiding the other members of the detachment police up in the mornings. It’s an actual fact, men. and th- cause for it all. is because Top Sergeant Adams calls the roll just before start ng. Privates Weiner and Henson are be- TK&NUM AIYU UAWI r and was immediately issued a barrel hy 1 "Jake.” The barrel, we know, takes the place of a gas mask. The command is "Ge tin your barrel," because you don’t know what’s coming. It's just the same as a regular gas mask, only it isn’t. By Sergt. L. H. PINCUS. Third Heavy Notes Since Acting Sgt Danaf-ean bought a napkin he is saving his O. D. shirts. Acting Sgt. Dansrean said Sherman was right when he said “War is Hell," trying to do an about face. Mess Sgt. Sisler sure is watching Dan ycrean as he is missing a lot of meat, iaely and Dansrean is picking up weight mysteriously* Sgt. Lipps is having some wonderful times lately, as the bones are behaving pretty well, and as a side-line he also is banker of the game. Sgt. Lipps challenged Sgt. Nelson to a boxing bout, the loser to buy a water melon for the new Acting Top Sergeant. You can always see tha faithful seven trodding down Stewart Ave. between 8 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. Privates John Kalal. Brown. York, Wil liams, Lamkow and Hanson have decided to spend three days on the honey wagon by the captain’s request. If seven men got three days pulling the honey-wagon, for playing with one dice, what would they get if they were playing with two dice and had money to play with? Aphorisms From Co 1 E. 5. Specialist School Private Grossman fell asleep while the | company was taking visual signals. In- i structor Perensky took his name and gave it to the "Molochamovis." We understand he got K.

All we can say about Private Dorfman is that outside of his appetite there is nothing wrong with him The Anvil Chorus From the Horseshoer’s School (By Sergt. Flick.) The other dav M.

While pounding out the second one along came Sergt. Ramage who said. MucHugh that is the worst looking shoe I ever saw. M< Hugh said, that’s nothing, you should have seen the first one I made Butler reported on the sick book the other day, so when the doctor examined him he discovered his eyebrow had slipped ( down on hia upper lip.

He is now working on h1.% ’ third anvil, the other two being in the re ‘ pair shop. Jennings says he is going to have his girl visit Atlanta next'week Well it is all right if you ran away with it. For particulars, see Sergt. Riley. ' Brown says he saw a piece in the paper last week where a white woman married 1 a horseshoer. That's terrible. i ——_ Schwelnd Inger. Lazzerervlne. Banainas sa, Annondolia, and Polati were promoted to A class on Saturday Kikoshikl and Bershawitch were transferred with Scala brena back to their organizations. One thing about the horseshoers’ school —we don't have to call the roll. We sneeze it. The men on this post are sure losing a : good friend next week when Pop Therman leaves, as our canteen is to be taken over by the government. We all wish you the best of luck in any new vent uro you make, ' Wandering over a field one day a man came across a large stone inscribed: 'Turn me over After much difficulty he succeeded in turning it over and found on the under side of the stone the words "Now turn me back again, so that 1 can catch some other idiot." coming experts in the dispatching bus iness ami there is no duubt that when they get back to the big city, they will qualify with flying colors either as Western I’nion or the Postal Telegraph messengers Private Parker, the publication sec tion’s wonderful two-steeper, has been playing a jazz tune on the keys of his typewriter this week, in order to make him feel merry, while writing that book which Lieu’. Peto has detailed him to do. Jayne: I expect a corporalship out of this. , Lane: 1 expect a sergeancy. Jayne: Oh, I can sail the corporal ship in the sergeancy. The camouflage department have made up a couple of dummies and put them in the mimeograph department.' Hensen. Jayne and Lane are there, too. Kane, who makes things what ain’t in the camouflage has just left for a ten-day furlough. He has a visiting list with him and if he calls on all whose addresses he has he is liable to be A W. O. L. Private Jayne what does it mean get ting three letter* in the same hand writing Ln one mail. Is it a rent bill or jus a girl ; We should have a bugle cal! to come back from lunch for the benefit of i Private Hensen. Privates Gettes and Schneider re plenished their wardrobe when they got those old clothes for the dummies. ’ One of them is wearing Schneiders leggins. We realize now why Private Har rington of the camouflage department , is bald-headed. He has been over crowding his cranium with ideas and they have pushed ail his hair out. Private Lane must have owned a 1 wheelbarrow at one lime the way he ! makes the memeorgraph well again. Have you other mimeograph boys. Fourteen stencils and one hundred copies of each in 45 minutes, count ’em. Can you beat our champion? If you see smoke coming out of the mime, graph department don’t turn in an alarm. First see if Lane is running the machine fast enough to make the ’ smoke rise. Private Schaup walked out in his sleep the other night and stood in the moonlight for a few seconds. Thought he was developing a blue print. I guess. By JOE JACOBS, Publication Section i Wagon Train Spokes If you want to know how it feels to strike out with two men on bases ask . Sergt. Kennedy, he knows. The next time at the bat he almost hit * the ball but three hard swings was his I best effort. The third time he came to bat he knocked, a- pop fly that the shortstop . should have caught in his hip pocket but knowing that jt was the first ball Ken nedy had hit the two fielders let it fall > between them and let hifr. land on first : base safe. He didn’t take advantage of their kind act, though, and was caught napping off first He must have thought that they were going to let him walk around the bases so he could score a run. Private Beach must have had some good looking sweethearts back in Oskosh, Wls. He gave Frank Bailey the address of one who had rejected him and of course Frank wrote to her. She answered Frank’s let- • ter at once and enclosed her picture. We won’t attempt to describe her. although we saw her picture, but Frank says he will never write a second letter to a. girl with a face like her's. ‘ Frank was so mad tjiat he has hardly spoken to Beach sinctf. The other morning Private Sterrett took a notion that he was physically fit for "overseas" service and proceeded-to drive a wagon. He hadn't gone very far until ho fell off the wagon which, makes him now realize that he is in the “H. S. M class. (Home Service). FOR SALE: As I am expecting to leave , soon for the 'Officers’. Tralrtirtg Camp, I will offer to the highest bidder at my of fice, one riding bridle and one forty-foot lariet. The above 'named articles both have records of having been used on noth- i Ing but fast hordes, including Shannon Belle, Black Diamond and Dixie. Either i one of these articles would make good souvenirs to send home as relics of the old Remount Depot No. 308. : |W? never did find out exactly why : Beach lost out with his girl in Belair, but ■ we do know that he doesn't hang around I there any rpore. It must be that an Ashkosh school teacher doesn’t last long ■ with the Georgia school mams. The first time that Sergt. Kennedy gets -a fair hit at a ball game we are going to have an "extra” edition of Trench «md 1 Camp printed. ■ The moat patriotic driver we have seen lately Is Private Andy Crepa. The other i day we saw him driving two red mules, i two white rriuies, wearing blue overalls I himself itnd seated on an olive drab col- t ored wagon. ! There seems to he an extra amount of i . pep shown at meks time, since the thirty ' new often are eating at the Wagon Com pany mess hall. The Wagon Company again proved their i right to the Remount championship tc > baseball. \ 1 i > rhe Remount team was reorganized by j Sergt Hofmeister and after a few even ings’ of strenuous practice, gathered ■ enough courage to challenge our team. i They were decisively defeated 4to o The I i efforts of their best swatters resulted ini one scratch hit. We commend »Sergt. Holmeister upon his able coaching. i Friday evening the Wagon Company i was forced to defend their title against I . th« Veterinary Corps. The Veterinary Corps was defeated 2 to 0 in five inritngs. ' The game was very interesting, only one f run being earned in the five innings 1 p'a.ed. Our other runs resulting from' the uild heaves of the Veterinary players. We have been informed that Dutch is out scouting again and has unearthed a few "finds." Come out and see us trim the Remount Monday evening Sergt. Kennedy and Joe Lundy pre ’ seated Doc Haines and Hillard with a beautiful piece of upholstered furniture. Further investigation of the facts con cerning the article written by Private ’ Dunkerley prove that he had the wrong ’ dope entirely. Doc Hillard says, "To he a successful ferrier. one must grow a mustache " [ Have you noticed the down upon Andy’s 1 * The Wagon Train men are breaking al] - records In getting to the mess hall • There’s a reason. Even Archie Hunt gets : I a move on now. Goldberg and Rozelle entertained a few friends at the Y M. C. A. Friday even- | • Ing. The young ladles, assisted by Jake gave a very pleasing program. The fea ture numbers of the evening were the vocal solos by Jake and a piano solo by i Rozelle. i A warning’ » Private Dunckeriey and Sergt. Beagle i are advised by two of their friends to g<» easy with their articles to the Trench and Camp. A wealth of material has I been collected by their two friends. We will watch this week's issue. Private Beach has decided that he has ‘ been a buck private long enough so has r put in his application to the Officers' 1 Training (’amp. He has given up a • mighty good chance to become a first class private In the Wagon Train merely to be ■ an officer. The Wagon Company is expecting Sergt. Fox to wake up soon Private Beach has reported for duty in the Wagon Company since the “liga ments" on his arm have Improved, owing to his extended furlough in the No 3 | stable. Through the influence of Sergt. Haines, Sergt. Kennedy received a sweet letter , from Dunmore last week. Sergt. Hoffman simply goes “nuts” when the entertainers come from Augusta. Friday night we noticed him sitting on the stage of the ”Y'” and it seemed he couldn't keep his eyes off the girls. We wish to announce through this col umn that Private Beach received a letter from his Thomson “society girl ” He wouldn’t even hint its contents to any body except to Sergt Kennedy, but 'it was later found that sfie requested that they never come back. In last week's Trench and Camp we no ticed an article which led us to believe that the Wagon Company boys seemed offended because Sergt. Beagle and Pri vate Dunkerley didn’t attend the Fourth of July ball game. Their reason is that they can find much better amusement at , a barbecue than that furnished by some of the “stars” of the Wagon Company team. Dots and Dashes From School Company No. 1, Second B On Saturday morning. July 20th. the Liaison students were put through a test on flag waving and an eye and ear catch as catch can bout.
