GOOD BILL AT
THE LIBERTY
Mighty good entertainment at the
Liberty Theatre this week. The Beaty

will sure be well entertained this week.
A very interesteing part of the program
comes after the show is over. A dancing
contest is held on the stage. There are
nine girls in the cast and nine fellows
are called from the audience. The lucky
follows are called ih the following man
ner. The manager calls out at random
nine numbers of two figures each. Any
fellow in the audience who’s last two
numbers on his identification tag. cor
responds to the numbers called from the
stage, is intitled to come on the stage
and take his pick of the girls to dance
with. The dance is an old fashioned
Waltz and the winning couple Is desired
by the applause of the audience. Great
fun for every one.

Although opening the show Eastman
and Moore sneered one of the biggest
hits of anv act that we have had. Miss
Gypsv, the young lady has an exceptional
voice ami plenty of personality.
The Belgium Trio Jugglers of human
beings have some sensational act. They
sure had the boys gasping
Lida McMillian and Bert Snow plyed
their clever little skit called Contrary.
Miss McMillian is a Broadway star gives
a very ( lever character in the sketch that
of a woman who brings a contrary father
to realize that their Is no room In this
little world of our for such a thing, and
that, one must try and spread sunshine
and toy while living, sneaking of doing
this Miss McMillian and Mr. Snow have
volunteered to do their bit and are going
Over-Seas with one of the Theatrical
Units to entertain our laddies who me
Knocking the fl out of Hun, Lets all
wish them luck.
The four Robinsons are the first musi
cal act we have had and the boys sure en
joyed the different selections which these
clever four played.
Abbott direct from a tour of China and
the orient is Homo showman, he was out
to entetain us last Friday with a clever
comedy act and then comes along Wed
nesday and does a ventriloquist act.
Sgt. Victor Gordon after doing two-half
years fighting on the other side and thoa
being discharged has framed together the
nicest little comedy monologe of inci
dences of the present war with just a
wee hit of pathos, and it is needless to
say the Sgt. pleased the boys.
lion and Patty have a very clever
<omedy song and talk act and had the
audience roaring to their many and witty
gags.
The Harrison West Trio closed this big
show to rounds of applause, they have a
very clever act and are some steppers,
when it comes to dancing, the younger
member of the trio a voung lad of about
sixteen did a dance solo with some of the
hardest and most difficult steps the writ
er has ever seen, some pep, hey, what.
THE RAIN UPON THE COT.
(With Apologies to Henry Van Dyke.)
When the humid shadows gather
Over all the Georgia sky,
I And the forked tongued lightning
Glares forth from on high
What a joy to press the pillow
Os a bed you haven't got,
And to listen to the patter
Os the rain upon your cot.
Now the darkness deeper growing.
Deathless silence seems to be,
Save the crash from out the Heaven
Os nature's heavy artillery.
Then you lie in meditation,
Pondering what may be your lot
As you listen to the patter
Os the rain upon your cot.
Then the wind comes onward raging
Pine trees bow beneath Its sway
The ropes round your tent are snap
ping
“Your home" soon may fly away;
You are reminded of a tempest
When your back's a lonely yacht,
As you listen to the patter
Os the rain upon 'our cot.
Steadily the rain falls In torrents.
Through your tent flows a stream,
Then you lose all meditation,
Fancy no longer is a dream.
So you seize your raincoat
Trying to shelter the only spot
That Is now' saturated
By the rain upon your cot.
In wet blankets you try to slumber,
Thinking of barracks far away.
With the '•bunks'' that were so cozy
And the bed sacks filled with hay.
Then you ponder and wonder,
And you long for what is not,
As you listen to the dripping
Os the rain upon your cot.

A Letter From France
The following letter from France
was sent to Professor Irving Foster, of
the State College of Pennsylvania.
Professor Foster is lecturing on
"Paris” and the ’‘Navy” during his
stay at Camp Hancock. Thinking
that the readers of Trench and Camp
might bo interested in this news from
over the seas, it is published herewith:
Co. T, 103rd Military Police, A. E. F.
July 19, 1918.
My dear Dr. Foster;
I received your letter on the 30th of
June, while my unit, was resting for a
few days near Paris. We have since
moved up to the front, and 1 have been
too extremely busy to pay much atten
tion to my correspondence. With your
letter came three others, and a half
dozen from home. It was the first
bunch of letters that 1 got from the
States, after having been over hero
nearly six weeks, and as you can
imagine, I was happy.
The last few days have been the
fullest in my life. I have been out
with a detachment of M P.’s working
in the rear of one of our infantry brig
ades, and have been under shell fire
in one of the fiercest bombardments
that the Roche have launched in a long
while, our work has consisted in the
directing of the streams of reinforce
ments and supply trains going up to
the front and of the ambulances com
ing back; and the picking up of strag
glers and the conducting of prisoners
of war back to the receiving depots
about ten miles back of the lino. Wo
have been working night and day Since
the 15th of July, ahd were busy before
that. You will probably understand
the significance of the date, when you
receive I hi., letter. Most of our men
have stood on duty under fire, and
without flinching. I. myself rode on
horseback through an area that was
being riddled with shrapnel and the
high explosives, where six mon had
been killed by a shell a few minutes
before I went through, but without ac
cident.
1 have been better content with my
work since I have really gotten into
it than 1 was for the first, six or seven
weeks after coming to France. We
came through England, spending a few
days there, and immediately after
landing in France we were shipped
nearly to the eastern border, whore wo
remained for over a month, doing very
little. While 1 was there 1 had the op
portunity of studying the French lan
guage and history, at first hand. Act
ing on your advice, I plunged right in
with the few words I know, and was
surprised to find that I could make
myself understood, and could very
well understand the common talk of
the people. Indeed, I was getting
along famously when I was sent, back
with my company toward Paris, and
then up to the front, where I have no
time to study French, and no oppor
tunity to talk to Frenchmen. While
in the eastern part of Franco, I spent
some time in the Departments of
Haute-Marne, Haute-Saonr, and Cote
d’Or. 1 visited the most interesting
medieval walled city of Lungren. I
walked around the top of its wall, not
without a thrill nt the thought of the
historical associations of the old city.
Also, I passed, one day, through the
battlefield of Fontaine-Franca i«e,
where Henry IV overcame the Span
iards In 1595. I rested, too, for a few
days, in the town where Phillip Au
gustus was bom in 1165. You see, I
I have been absorbing a little French
history right from the ground, in spito
of all my duties.
1 have seen some sad sights, in the
last few days, that I shall not speak
of, except, to say that Home of the boys
whose fathers perished in.the cause of
Freedom on the bloody fields of the
great Civil War, have proven them
selves of equal glory with their fathers,
here upon the fields of France. I have
seen this with mine own eyes, and as
an American. I am proud; and as a
Pennsylvaniun, I am proud. You would
eroerience the same pride if you had
seen what I have seen.
Very truly yours,
W. ROY DIEM.

The intoxicated individual who, af
ter bumping into the same tree thir
teen times, bemoaned the fact that
he was lost in an impenetrable forest,
was no greater disgrace to civilization
than the hero of this modern story.
A man who had looked upon the wine
when he was no longer sure what color
it was in the course of his journey
home encountered a tree protected by
an iron tree guard.
Grasping the bars he cautiously felt
his way around it twice.
“Confound it!" he moaned, sinking
to the ground. “Txicked up!”
Bill Bashem was not a safe person
to deal with. On the contrary, he
dealt with safes; but the lady visitor
to the slums wfis not to kndw this.
“So,” she said io Bill’s little son,
“they've put your father away for safe
keeping."
“Nah!'’ Fer safe-brenkin’!” replied
the grubby one, with a wink.
A young man recently came to a
doctor and his complaint was a rather
extraordinary one. He had seen a
ghost The doctor asked him where
he had seen it and what it was like.
“1 haw it," said he, “the other night
when I was passing a graveyard: it
had a big mouth and long ears like
a donkey." Go home,” said the doctor,
“and say nothing about it; it was your
own shadow you saw.”
At a certain nth-rate boarding house
a transient entered the dining room
late for dinner. TTe was unsteady on
his feet and the boarders realized at
once that he had been imbibing freely.
His first act after seating himself was
to pick up his glass of water and throw
it out. of the window. His neighbor
asked:
“What’s the matter with the water,
my friend?"
“T don't drink It.”
Why?”
J 'l won’t ever drink water again
while I live. And you oughtn’t to
drink it f iether.**
“But, my dear sir, why not?”
“‘Why! Why’’ you ask me!” he
said, vehemently, “I’ll tell you why.
Water rots the soles of your shoes,
What dn you think It doos to your
stomach ?”
“Could i «p]l you a burgler alarm,
madam?”
“Are you sure it will work?”
"Yes, madam, I may speak with
Rome authority on the subject, T was
once a burglar myself,”
“Dear me! What caused you to re
form ?**
“This alarm,”
“Take one.”
i’M the’guyT
(Ye First Sergeant Speaketh.)
When they hear me tn Ik, when they
see mo walk,
Privates eusH me out as I go by,
Should they take a brace and "tell It
to my face,
I would up and punch them in the
eye.
Yet they nover speak all Throughout
the wook
Only Sundays when they are alone
You ask how that can bo, come close
to me,
Let me whisper in a gentle one.
Chorus:
I’m the guy that puts the snap In
“Attention!”
When you rise to greet the meadow
lark.
For I’m the scou 1 that gets you out
At six o'clock or thereabout
And keeps you on the run till after
dark
I'm the guy who sends you out on a
Detail
Al) your troubles are because of me.
What’s that? Who am I? Don't you
know?
I’M THE GUY!
Should you take a sneak, you will get
a week,
In the Guardhouse with a heavy fine.
Should the whistle toot, though you
don’t salute,
You are on the double with the rest,
When I bellow “ ‘Shun,” you and
everyone,
Throw your shoulders back and fill
your chest.
Chorus:
I’rn the guy who makes you clean up
your quarters.
I'm the guy who makes you put out
the light.
I’rn the gent, from heaven sent,
Who gives you shelter in a tent
And sees that you are fed and doc
tored right.
I'm the guy who works from the earl
iest daybreak
Till you all are snoring peacefully,
What’s that? Who am I? Don’t you
know?
I’M THE GUY!
The First of Sergeants in the Com
pa nee.
Grand Finale by the Whole Com
pany:
He's the guy who puts the pep in the
Army;
He's the guy who’ll take us into Berlin.
He’s the guv who gets us by, although
we hope that he will die
And what we think about him Is a
sin.
When the day of victory is upon us
And we rest beneath the linden tre*.
We ll cheer, buy a beer, say we’re glad
that he is here.
