Newspaper Page TextPage 4 119th Ordnance Bombs It was pretty fast work establishing a headquarters, starting on Y. M. C. A. paper and ink. The boys from the depot began to fall right into the headquarters jobs. Scarlett was one of the victims picked off to inform the companies how to equip, fight the influenza, guard the fdace, get the military quail f.'CatlonH, and n general run the detachment. Colleary and Monahan used the words "working at headquarters” whenever there was occasion to g<-t at the head of a big line for grub, clothes, or pay, because extra privileges were granted. Neither spent more time there than was necessary to keep acquainted with Bar ron. Naclario has been unable tn get a fit in O. D. breeches and had to call into ■ play the rain coat and wrapped leg gins. Johnny Griner had the rooks rail him when they got up in the morning so that he would have on his spirals by reveille. Kress still has his old Georgia ‘ pep" and Blocker is ready to sign over with : the "Yankees." He saw some good look • Ing girls on the ferry boat getting into the Big City Tho cuckoo from Detroit Is still callhig Shamrock and he expects to depart soon. ' "But why should I live so long.’ Brown and Dowd In ducking detail * have come in close contact with Benny l Leonard and the Independents. “Line-O-Type” From The Publications Section M. G. T. C. Speak up, Sergeant Kane and curtail wcandal-monglng tongues: why make you Infant’s clothes? And herewith we have the Song of the Draughtsmen, as sung by Sergeant Blackwell, Privates Srhaupt, Reldel, Per kens, et al: « A rule, a square, some Ink, a pen, A pencil, board, a rubber and then Tn straight line, curve and angle, •Wo will readily untangle The battle map for you. We will exhibit to your view • The fields of Flanders or of France Or even camp if you ho wish by chance, Oh, a city block or a hemisphere Is just the same to us, my dear. Private Schaupt has at last learned who the mysterious person is that was sending him his cake. Let us caution him to never again utter names and addresses aloud, especially when ye Ed is sitting near. Maybe that Is the reason he has not been getting that cake lately. Private Harrinton, familiarly known as Abie the Painter, holds musical siestas o’ nights in the Camouflage Department and Sergeant Meloney has discovered in the music a great cure for Insomnia. At least that was the Impression made upon ye Ed when he found the said sergeant asleep at the concert. Things We Never <See. Sweat on Sergeant-Major Brewster’s brow. Private Schneider busy. Private Henson mad. Private Hughes missing chance to argue. Private Wessrnan stand without twitching his nose. Sergeant Blackwell any place but his tent or the office. Private Henken talk without swearing. Private Orans singing Private Harrinton matter-of-fact. Sergeant Meloney laugh without exhib iting his whole interior. Sergeant Major Weld lias secured some very largt writing paper, but we are will ing to wager that he will find it diffi cult getting the entire name and ad dress on the envelopes. Private Orans likes his coffee and cake down at the Bluebird There may be other things there that he likes, but we won’t go into details. 4 BRANCH DRAMAS. First: Mimeograph Branch. Sergeant Meloney: Verily, my worthy Johnny Henson, get you not. a letter for me today and 1 will chastise thee most severely, pon my word. Private Henaon: Curb thou thine an fsr, friend Harry, for, by my haldidon, have not a letter received for ten moons now. Private Jacobs: Out upon ye, knaves’ To prate thus about the lack of mail when here I be with many a large, brown War Department envelope yet filled with Unanswered mall. Private Guthler: Content am I that no other but my Dearie write me and happy are the days that bring z orth a letter from her and dark and gloomy those when none doth come. Private Wessman: Avaunt ••© all' with your mail and your Dearies. Forsooth, are we children gamboling oer the green* eward or are we brawny men that light? Letters, faugh! Private Parker (entering): Cease ye all this prattle o* letters and address ye your might and your attention to making o’ this stencil one thousand copies. Sergeant Meloney: Give thou it unto me, Private P. rker. and but wait thou two minutes and it will finished be. Private Wessman: Oh, worthy Private Parker, like Diogenes of old, I seek a man who has not a Dearie. Come, thou tall and lanky one, answer me this: Hast thou a Dearie?

Barron met his brother and found a place to shave with hot water and was Introduced to a mess sergeant with noth ing to do but feed conscientious objectors and visitors to help spened a few thous and dollars in the company fund.

A little note-book within a smelly stall, A horse contentedly munching his hard earned hay; Our instructor’s rasping voice to pass the time of day. Oh! ammunition, thou art a joy for all. The following choice morsel was gleaned from a “stall” where a class of our bright ones was in session the other day: Hurst (plainly bewildered) What, ah, is th-er, ah, range of a dummy cartridge?

The score was 6-2 against C Company when the tide turned and C Company won by a decisive score of 11 to 8. All grand stand seats were occupied and there was considerable spirit on both sides.

Wade 11. Westmoreland, commanding officer of the Central Machine Gun Officers’ Training School, "digging In” on the site where an army of workmen last week began the construction of a new canton ment city l:i the Machine Gun Training Center which will cost more than two million dollars. This cantonment will house the candidates training for commissions as machine gun officers. To the right of Lieutenant-Colo nel Westmoreland are: Colonel G. B. Strickler, construction quartermaster. H. A. Belden, of New York City, su pervlslng engineer: and Cant. I>. E. Itavis, assistant construction quartermaster. Worldly Wisdom From Sixth Casual, First Prov. Regt. The Sixth Casual is some company, even the sergeants disobey orders, for instance, Pop Hogan washes his clothes, minus his blue demins, better known as ordnance uniform. Strictly against orders, Pop. Since Corporal Hamlin received his commission, Private Harmon has been elected to acting corporal. Congrat? illations. Private Shisko has rather a rushing business off one guard onto another. Private Remlssong has been on the sick list for the last few days. The doctor says that he eats too much. Better Hooverizc a littl llemmy. Private Gilligan has received seceral nice packages this week. What is he, Gilligan? Salmond is wild about the game; can’t eat or sleep, and wo have to watch him to keep him from betting on how many grains of sand there is in a shovel full. Private Bert Ryder is spending his summer vacation in Camp Hancock. How goes it, Bert? Schalupa slept with bls shoes on the other night apd -caught, cold in his head. Private Taube was on an extended visit to Savannah, now he can hardly sleep. Who is she, Taube? The Bugle Squad is broken up in the Sixth, but they are expert guardsmen. An awful shock. Tremper is an elec trician. Dizzy Curran lost all of his money. Now he sleeps with his clothes on. He is afraid that he will lose them also. We are going to invest a. part of the company fund in a bicycle, or an old Tin Lizzy, for the use of Sergeant King In routing the boys out at fatigue call. Georgia does not agree with Private Wright, he has only gained 20 pounds. . English physical drill for you, Wright. Petronella Is getting rather hard boiled. Somebody he foola-round. Private Schaffer ate a green persim mon last Sunday, and hasn’t talked plain since. Now wouldn’t this get your < goat? Private Ackerman has lust his name. Please help him find it. Private I’orget ran so far in a relay race the other day that v hen he stop ped he found that he had a punctured tire. He had to go to the infirmary and get patched up. When it comes to guard—well Penn sylvania. hasn't anything on the Sixth Casual Company, for we are, Arsenal Warehouse. Regimental, Magazine and Latrine guards combined, and Penn sylvania is national guards only. The Sixtli Casual Is learning some think new now. Squade right. Phillip's girl thinks that he is a great short story author, he writes such nice letters, and so many of them. Better go to Chi, Phlps, and you would save money on stamps. We have all received our diplomas from Fairfield, 0., as aerial gunners, but haven't seen a machine gun in months, instead we are making war on stumps, and believe me, that needs only picks and shovels. 7:15 A. M.—all guards out. Found on port No. 2 < f the maga zine guard by Private F. W. Damm of the Sixth Casual Company, O. T. C. Among Augusta's famous pines, 'Neath Georgia's sky of blue.

MARINES XMAS PACKAGES Washington, D.C.—Christmas packages for marines with the American expedi tionary force must be of the size pre scribed for the army packages, it was an nounced today. TRENCH AND CAMP Put-Outs from the P. O. Have you missed the Put-Outs for i the past few weeks? Well, the Postal Detachment has been so busily en- ■ gaged in getting the mail to the men | that it was impossible to come across for the weekly column, but we hope to do better in the future. Lt. A. H. Craig, officer in charge of the postal service in the camp, has re cently started a period of physical training for the men in the P. 1)., which is appreciated by the men They had a lively time the other morning, when in a relay race a beehive was accidently overturned. There was some tall stepping. Pvt. Fred Zuber, of tho Ordnance camp, one of the popular men of the post, office force, recently left on a furlough to his home town, Columbus. Ohio. Fred had some ness to transact, at least that is what a letter from the mayor of Columbus stated. Here’s to a good time Fred, and don’t overstay your leave. WANTED- A megaphone for Brock. We can’t hear him. Congratulations are in order. Pri vate Joseph Elliott took unto himself a bride. He is bound to fight even if he is on detached service at the Post Office. Elliott, we all wish you and your wife all the luck and happiness in the world. JUST A LITTLE. Just a little Damsky, always in the right, Just a. little Goodman, looking for a fight, .lust a little lecture given on the site. Just a little time and things will be ail right. Now that the Jewish New' Year's celebration is over, mail service will again be up to its former standard. One of our members was hard hit by the (piarantine. Private McAdam, of the 19th company, happened to be In his company street when the boys from Camp Grant arrived, and so he has been among the missing at the office. Private George Vedernack, a former Carlisle football star, one of the can didates for end on th© machine gun football team, had the misfortune to dislocate his collar bone while in a scrub game at headquarters c ..npany the other evening., We hope that this will not keep him out of the games this season. We are with you. George. There is a race between Corporal George Berger and Private Magnuson to see who gets the most mail. Both - are popular young men from Wiscon- 1 sin cities, as is attested by the volume of their correspondence. REMOUNT DEPOT The effect of the Spanish influenza at Camp Hancock has been-felt in this re mote section of existence. Although there are no cases here, the post exchange and the Y. M. C. A. have been closed indefi nitely and the bus that operates be tween here and Augusta has been stopped. If a few weeks more of isola tion continue the man who rediscovers us will be unanimously elected to a place in the Hall of Fame. We extend congratulations to Lieut. H. L. Riley upon his recent promotion from quartermaster sergeant to second lieutenant. Lieutenant Riley came here a year ago as a private while the Re mount was in the formative stage. His genial manner and manly character have made him many friends and admirers. His promotion is a deserved recognition <>f thorough and efficient work. His home is in Butler, Ga. Hall, who has been in the Base Hos pital since March, was returned to the Remount as a result of the influx of Spanish influenza cases'ar the base. He says he recalls having been here a long tme ago. Lieutenant Heck has found a reason for liking the South other than the pro verbial sunny clime. Here’s to Lieuten ant and Mrs. Beck. The number and cosmopolitan charac ter of the Remount personnel were in creased last week Dy the addition of a hundred men, including an Oneida Indian. The cry of the older men now is "When do we go over?" A number of the men are now enjoying furlough Among them are Sergeants Houston and Jennings and "lodine" Bali er. Word has been received that Lieuten ant Morris, formerly assigned here, has been promoted to captain. ‘ He is in com mand of a veterinary base hospital unit and expects to be "over there" soon. 1,480 PRISONERS Washington.—Members of the Amer ican expeditionary forces who have been indentified as prisoners of war in Germany numborer 1,480 on Octo ber 5, said an announcement Monday from the office of the adjutant general of the army. In addition, 220 civilians interned in Germany have been identi fied as have sixty ona sailors held in Constantinople. Casual Remarks From Fifth Casual Company, First Prov. Regiment ‘ The police squad has petitioned for a light on the bulletin board. Th© night owls drop too many matches hunting a job for next day. Our friend Fatty Carver has de serted the kitchen for the kindred duty of K. p. Chaser. Since then woe has betided tho K. P. initiate who would evade the approach of this stalwart Arbuckle. A new statement of general orders — the military Twelve Commandments is forthcoming when Charley G. Mordes issues his version. He will acknowl edge his indebtedness to Christopher Rest for the statement of the Sixth General Order. The latter is Best’s “special.” x “Failin' in the hay” will be execut ed literally when the men of this com mand complete their weary pilgrim ages over the hill to the mule mess. “Bed ticks” (we call them at home) are fattening 'round hero. The sage of Tecumseh has left us. An overseas vista fills his mind's eye. No longer will the company type writer sing poetic serenades of en dearment for Agnes or Myrtle. Though there are “privates’* galore in the army, there isn't much of priv acy in the matter of retirement or se clusion. None know this better than poor little Roy Duncan. We admit it is a bit disconcerting not to be able to receive cherished messages “when company is around.’’ Sergeant. Wadleigh is in receipt of a money belt. Attempts to fill it are welcome. Until some one thoughtfully Interferred. Wad had thought of using the thing for a neck tie. Sergeant Murphy Is again at free dom to make foot prints on the camp's threshold. Another chevron down town. Among the progeny of the boot shaped peninsula who are with us we have those who ran unquestionably produce music. We know this and so does the orderly tent “bunch” from Fourth Casual, this regiment. We at tempt to entertain -ourselves and I through the subsequent gathering have the satisfaction of hearing them —to the west of us -admit In their dejected parley that “we have it on them.” A trifle boresome, 'tis true, as we knew it.

Headquarters Hodge-Podge; Specialists School, M. G. T, C, (By Joseph K. Colton.) Life, which since the Kaiser went crazy, never has beer. «a path of roses for any of us except the munition mak ers, the profiteers and a few of the flat feet and weak hearts back in the “hum” town, has become just one inspection aft er another. If .any of us get the epizotis it won’t be the fault of the health guard ians, or bureau de sante, as our French cousips might say. What with the san itary observations day and night, the general inspection Saturday, the noon day mumps once-over and the bi-weekly gathering in the mess hall, we surely could give an epidemic a head start arid beat it wherever it wanted to run. We haven’t been to town so long that v.e doubt whether old George at the Albion would know us. Yes. we've been there once or twice as *smebodv’js guest so he could place. ns easily. We’re going to take Frank down there some day and show him what a feed Is. You’ve got to deliver it to good old I Fred Shaffner. Sergeant Major Brow, who is solicitous for the health of his flock of orderlies, asked him the other day if hp had done anything for his cold. You know Fred has th** most aggravatin’ i wheeze and it's soared the rest of us j “all holler.” Well, Fred just allowed I that he had. “What you bin doin asked th** sergeant. “Biowin’ my nose,” said Fred, and out he calked. That’s what we call treatme r t—not to mention economic use of the King’s English. We hate to give Fred so much snace, but when a man i«, ho in tho limelight, he cannot l e denied. You know Fred Shaffner the other morning when he was getting ready for Saturday ’speck shun he discovered that some miscreant had sawed (nr is it sawn) the supports of his cot tho night before, and bv a miracle he hadn't crashed through. Fred indulged in a few words which were ex cusable and if he finds out who did it— well, somebody’s going to ketch it. We wonder who tho new “louios” are going to be. Everybody is rooting for the boys from Headquarters Company and there Isn’t a member of the company hut what will send his best vishe’ l when they go before the board. But whether they get a commission or not. thev’vo been pretty highly complimented bv their officers and that is from' which to derive satisfaction. It shows that what they do is appreciated. And they in their turn recognize the implied com pliment, which makes everybody happy. Capt. Worline was a proud man last week when the company' subscribed to Liberty binds. Ninetv mon invested in 70 bonds a total of *?.noo on the first night, and a fen- additional bonds since It shows the spirit that has alreadv been felt In Germany, th*- unconquerable spirit of men who know they are right and c willing to heln not nnlv phvsical lv but financially with all of them going the limit Besides, they know < f gnnd thing when they see it—and the Liberty bond not only has a commercial hut a sentimental value for all of them.

Isn't It great to know that you’re g tting on in tho world? We’ve had another touch of home. It’s been here since the canteen was closed to us Middleton and Andrews furnish tho local color. You know how the lil ole grocery man in the home town calls around in the morning for his order and comes back four or five minutes after meal time with the gcods- and the gos sip!

Mrs., aid we can assure you that he is safe from practically all the horrors, of war (except a few two-footed ones) —while he's in the Specialists school. Congratulations are in order for Serge ant Thomas Davis and Mrs. Davis, to whom a daughter has been born. We wondered why the sergeant’s smile was a bit brighter the other morning, but the explanation of Sergeant Middleton chased our wonderment. Wouldn't it be nice if they called her “Victoria”—after the vic tories of the Allies on the various fronts? Or "Woodrov ena” part of which is presi dential and part contributed by Sir Wal ter Scott. But it’s none cf our business what they name her. It must be nice to have her around, that’s all. Esterkyn wishes that if a man is going to let a mule kick him in the chest, he’d choose some other time besides the mid dle of the night Half the company was I awakened by the raucous shouts of "Cor j noral of the Guard.

Esterkyn was right in th© middle of a dream in which he had reach ed the pinnacle of operatic fame when the rude awakening came- so he is award ed grounds for protest Up in Brockton, New York, the vine yards are beginning to give forth their luscious fruit. Carl Erickson has four brothers up in that country and he’s exp*' ting a few boxes of grapes almost any day. Get your name in early for a bunch. There was a sacred ceremony in Tent No. 6 Friday. Corporal Lux destroyed all his love letter:-. No, he and sweetheart are not “mad” at each other. Their billysdoo, as it were, had accumulated in such quantities that there being no to put them nor pink ribbons to tie around them, their minds went 50-50 on a proposition to scatter them to the winds. Now they’ll start in saying the same eweet things all over again—bless ’em! Well, as the inelegant Corporal Rog ensof says, guess we’ll pull in our neck. * Curfew, we should say, mess call is blow ing and we don't want Hank Scheele or Bailey t,o beat us to the porridge plant.

Supply Sergeant Reiner is thinking •about running off n Jazz at the Lenwood some time in the near future. Just wait till we get those O.

If Mechanic Abe Kuscnansky gets more than one job a day he thinks he’s over worked. We can get all fussed up for Lake View now that we have a tailor shop in Our company certainly must have a pull at headquarters, v.e have had two new commanders inside of two weeks. Lieutenant Copp Is our new head and he’s with the fellows in all things. Not mentioning any names, but sb.o sent down a telegram with the inscrip tion, “Why don’t you write.” Pretty tough, Bruno, I’ll say. Well known sayings: ‘ J was once a private.” Wanted: A stenographer anti type- writer to answer Sergeant M. P. Reiner's letters. Lieutenant Feldman must have had a horseshoe in his pocket. He was relieved from this company as second lieutenant and returned first serg-ant. Good luck to him in his new capacity.
