Ben Goldberg is at it agai ; he now can throw up a flap-jack ;n ave it land < n itc. pale side. His ambition is to be a Top Sergeant for a week. Mechanic Winkler is very busy of late sei.lng chocolate bars and manag ing our young canteen. Now and then h? fixes a tent to keep up his reputa tion as a mechanic. “Oh. for the life of a fireman.’' Pvts. Fischler and Titus are our most hand some bucket-men. Let us h - there will be no fire just yet, because Pvt. Fischler is massageing pots in the Of feers’ Mess Hall, and I am sure he would not like to leave a pot unclean ed just to put out a fire. Cpl. Anderson is now ready to give instructions to thin ladies on ”11. w to gain weight without losing your per fect thirty-six figure.” Pvt Verket thinks he is a >oet. of course if 1 e only thnks it the : : no harm in letting him express him "in the Longfellow style.

Frank (Jazz) Welch , was seen on Otco ber 2nd last, gazing through the stage door of the Opera House, where Al G. Fields Minstrels were giving their per formance He seemed to have that down v rd slant to the corners of his mouth that betokens home-sickness and begged permission to cry upon our shoulder (soft music.) It seems that Jack Long, dancer, starring in the show, was Jazz's old ‘‘side kick” before he donned the olive drab and that he had spent most of the day talking over " ’member the time?” stuff Tears started to his eyes as he told us that the show left for Atlanta at 2:45 a. tn. Thursday. Joe Jacobs looks forlorn and weary of late and it is the opinion of his intimate (’•lends that the furlough was too much for him. Be* he was kept busy socially white up iu Dear Old New York. Since Louis Loeb received his warrant as sergeant, it is almost impossible to get him to participate in the morning stroll of policing the street. We’d like to know how he gets that way. Sergeant Earle Killeen and Bill Majory are real staunch pals and it is very evi lent that they both greatly miss the good <id Curley O’Connor. Their spare time is spent in visiting friend Curley, who is convalescing at the hospital. Sergeant Ralph Washburn, as a Boy Scout in Beantown, learned some points about astronomy and displays his knowl edge these wonderful star-lit nights. But he tunny part of it is.

THE LSTEST 111 ’ H 0« ■HfIiSE With the American Forces in France.— "Deceive the enemy by false tracks end » ing in woods.” This sentence is from the latest German document on camouflage to reach Ameri can intelligence officers. having been found on a captured lieutenant. More than a thousand words are devoted to the science of camouflage, the article being dated at army headquarters and signed by Lieutenant Colonel Fau ”bv order of the general commanding the army.” Every form of camouflage has been worked out in minute detail bv tne Ger mans, cue part of the article saving: "Do not make a heap of earth removed at any time hut immediately. There must be c fresh cuts visjhle. as marked contrasts rvsnlt from it between the light and dark surfa< es. the latter appearing as deep shadows on the ground. Do not change natural shapes. Posi tions in fills and er. hpnkments must not change the form of fill or ‘•embankment. Use the roads, tills, embankments slopes, sunken roads, edges of woods, to greater extent." Regarding resting columns of troops, lo cation ; nd nature of halting places for troops on march the document sets forth: "It is best to distribute the columns irregularly under trees, in villages Keep close the houses, walls, enclosures of gardens and edges, but if possible, with I irregular distribution. The best side is always the north side of houses and walls on account of the shadows. tn small courtyards, the wagons are lined up one beside the other and tarpaulins joined in order to make a roof. This anppars as a smooth and very natural surface on the photograph, which does not attract the enemy's attention. "In broken country seek the protection of the ground; the nort:. side of embank ments. hollow roads, hedges, etc. When there is no cover, irregular distribution is required. "Even at night make more use of tracks which are generally dark: the columns can then with difficulty be observed by air planes. On the other hand columns on roads which near light can be seen even at nigh*. Infantry columns will be divided into small groups distributed jn depth and advance along the shadv side of roads. i When airplanes use light projectors at i night, keep in the shade of trees or build ings.” . The article ends with this general rule: "When surprised by airnlanes either bv day or by night use all natural shade provided by trees, embankments, houses, etc., and remain motionless."
