We wonder why Cook Neth does not sleep nights. He says that the mos quitoes bite. All you can hear from him is, "Zij.” That’s all. Private Fetterman came to visit Serge ant Freed the other day and while Cook Mongeau was preparing liver for dinner, he asked: ‘‘What kind of pudding is that, chocolate?” The answer deleted by censor. Private Tuceinardi thinks he will make a better orderly than bugler. Sergeant Freed agrees with him. Corporal McKay received a picture the other day and is showing it to all the boys He looks good in full uniform. Corpora! Nowak says things are pick ing up. What ' Papers, of course. Private Staples white on Kay Pee is occasionally missing. Where does he go? Ask Sergeant Freed, he’ll tell you all about it. Cook Davis says when the war is over no more cooking for him. Hack to the garage. Cook Mongeau is going to open a res taurant in Pittsfield, Mass., and that all the boys are welcome—if they have the price.

Her man is acting corporal Privates Legnini and Doherty have re turned to Duty after an absence of nine weeks. This leave of absence was not the kind the fellows like, as it was spent in the Base hospital. Supply Sergeant Reiner is getting gray er every day, he says, it’s on account of studying for the c oming examination for Q. M. Leutenant, but we have every rea son to believe it is the girl he left behind. Why not be on the level about it, Reiner? I‘rivat Balgley is one of the greatest talking artists in the company. He al most talks himself out of a detail. We have a faint idea that Cook Lerner would like to see his name in print. Why don’t you try and get a pass, Lerner Private Deutch. the company tailor, was seen on K. I'. Sunday. What hap pened, Deutch? Private Markey returned after a ten day furlough to New York City. We are wondering why he did not look for an ex tension- The worried look that Private Wald heter wore last week was occasioned by his thinking up some thing sweet, for a telegram to send on his fair one’s birth day. We are glad that our neighbors to the east have realized that there are a few lives one in our company but apologize for waking them so rudely from their morning siestas. Another week has elapsed and the masked marvel, Grappler “flue." cannot claim a victory over any of our men. Private Keller is some great imiator, * ’l’ve got a new job now. no more K. I’. Our company mechanic, Abe Kuschan skv. is hard of hearing. Talking over guard duty the other day. he said, "I don’t think I’ll get sent on guard as I have bad ear-sight. TO THE TUNE OF r ‘Oll HOW I HATE TO GET UP IN THE MORNING.” Oh if the cooks got up late in the morning Oh if thev only let them lay in bed. If the Corporals of the Guards Should forget their dear old pards And didn’t get ’em up. didn’t get ’em up Didn't get ’em up in the morning. Gee. what they wouldn’t do to the Cor porals The way th- y’d feel they might as well be dead That night no one would go to sleep And at 4 a. m. they’d start to creep To find—if the cooks were still in bed. SCHOOL CO. NO. 2 FOR ENLISTED STUDENTS By Sgt. R. S. Ryming Only four allowed in a tent so ‘‘A. Mus-co.” Now that Mechanic Zizza is back with his company for duty we can enjoy the closing arguments as to who is the most efficient farmer, he or Ser geant Barton. Sergeant Barton to Zizza: “How does mustard grow?” “Gee, but those eggs are old!” They are the best we can get as all the young chickens were killed off for the banquet, and the old ones are the only ones left to f do the laying.” Corporal Baker: “Anybody want, anything at the canteen?” That’s what wo all like to bear Corporal, keep it up, we need you. Some there be who use the mess hall for a Smoking den, and why not? (So the story goes) Former Employ er: “Why. Rastus, what brings you back, ] thought you were in the army?” Well, Boss, so ah was, but the General done got us all together and said, “Boys, strike for your country and home, and ah struck for home.” Private Tindal's familiar face is no longer seen in this area. He is now assistant manager of the Liberty Theater- not an inconvenient place to i meet his "Id friends again. “Why is a pancake like the sun?” “Because it rises in der yeast and | sets behind der vest.” Cook: “Do you prefer the steak well I done or rare?” “We have failed Io find it anything I but “rare” in the area.” (Let the cooku speak for them | selves). Resolution: Not to leave the com pany street till the first of November. (The above resolution by H. Slices : and P. Ste.ponkus). The latest pathetic song to come to the market. “How Can Wo Leave Thee, Buildings 1153 and 1173?” sung by Company No. 1, O. S. (Wish they would forget it). An enlisted student of this company complains because he lives on a hill and therefore cannot be “on the level.” Anybody else belong in his class? A jubilant hunch was our perma nent personnel when the Red Cross sweater made its debut last Tuesday. Who is Boss of the 20th Squad? Some of th:- Auto Mechanics have a. suspicion that they will some day he transferred to M. T. D. for K. P. duty. Some ambition! Under the auspices of our comic orator, better known to the Auto Club as Gip Marino, the wonderful quartet composer, he and his trio, known to the club* as Luke P’aulds (tenor), Bat tling Jiulsburg, the fireman (baritone), Knock-Out Casey, of Albany, (bass), and last, but not least, the composer himself, Gip Marino (soprano and lead), congregate around the collapsi ble pole at tent No. 18, School Street No. 2. The wonderful heart touching j melodies are heard morning, noon and night and bring back memories of 'fvil life to all the boys of the Auto Club. It is officially stated by the Top Sergeant . that never has he ex perienced a more roof-raising bunch of boys in khaki since his administra tion of School Street No. 2. The broad smile that he wears at all times speaks well of his satisfaction towards t the Auto Club.” TRENCH AND CAMP Personnel Detachment Personals of the Week Captain J. 0. Strutz Leaves For Service in the Line at Camp Sevier FARESVELL DINNER BY HIS OFFICERS AND MEN Cther Notes and Comment From the Office That Keeps Tabs on You The Camp Personnel detachment re grets very much the loss of ('apt. J. O. Strutz. who in the past has been in charge of personnel work in (’amn Han cock and who has now bee.mrailed to ac tive service in the infantry branch and reports to the commanding general, 20th ivision, CDarnp Sevier, S. C. lie left for his new station last Thursday. A farewell banquet was given in his honor last Wednesday evening by the officers attached to the Personnel De tachment as a token < f th;ir apprecia tion of his very excellnt and conscinti ous work. (’apt. James A. Linen, assistant camp prsonnel officer, who acted as toast master, called upon Captain Strutz for a speech. Captain Strutz responded by highly praising the personal officers "for their good work in the past and expressing keen regret at having to part from such a f.'ne body of men. An entertainment followed the speeches, in which appeared Klein and Hendricks, a comedy duo, who are as snappy as the machine gun click. Greely, a silver toned tenor, rendered several selections. Corporal Frank “Jazz" Welch danced his way into the good graces of the audi ence. Donnelly, the Camp Personnel De tachment pianist, tickled the ivories in a delightful manner and Sergeant Al Anderson, the well-known Camp Hancock magician, once again mystified his audi ence with his clever sleight-of-hand stunts. Leonard Joseph and David Schwartz/ of the Headquarters Band, M. T. (’.. furnished the music. Among those present were: '’apt J. O. Strutz. Capt. Jas. A. Linen, '.’apt. H. S. S. Bill, Lieutenants Potter, Luecke, Ga vit. Davis, Ridgway, aPt terson, Coulson, Effron, Bardstrom, Bryan, Melton and Madson. Sergeant Slapakoff certainly treated the company to some feed. Sunday din ners as a rule are very good, but this one wasl so exceptional that Captain Strutz (and we believe the captain has considerable ability to judge) was forced to admit that it was the best he has ever had during his army life. Just to show you that “Slappy" knows his business listen while we murmur the list, of eats:’ Roast chicken, stuffing, boiled sweet potatoes, sliced tomatoes with mayon naise dressing, creamed sweet peas, cel ery, rolls, bread, fruit salad of sliced oranges, pineapple, bananas and poaches. Loganberry juice, cranberry sauce, va nilla and strawberry ice cream and choc olate cakes. And they say army life is hard. Yea, bo! Private Palmer is very desirous of knowing if the government issues jam to the soldiers. Somebody please tell him. Aw, go ahead. You're all wrong, Sidney. The real HODGE-PODGE FROM THE HEADQUARTERS By Joseph K. Colton The topic of the day being a double jointed one, concerning “Hun Extermina tion and Peace Proposals,” George Hoyt wishes to open our weekly prayer meet ing with the thought that if reports of the abdication of Wilhelm and an uncon ditional sauer-kraut surrender were worth a nickel apiece, the various press ssociations would amass enough means to effect their permanent retirement to the fields where the clover ajid butter cup blossom. Twice we have been awak ened our beds to listen to a kid with a steam whistle voice, and we are getting gnshdarned tired of It. Reports of peace are splitting u;- all to pieces. In behalf of the unexcited and steady going J soldiery who comprise our outfit, we ask the world to stop its noise and proceed to the business at hand. Which is the squelching of the squarehead. There's nothing like ringing in the old home town tunes at reveille. Every morn ing when Connell wakes up (if he isn’t sick) the third group band is pounding away on the theme of the old gray mare, which we are informed in the language of melody, is hardly what, she used to be. We like that tune very much and hope the bandmaster won't put. the music away for a few weeks. We used to go trout fishing up hum behind an old gray mare. And if we aren’t needed over there, why we'll be hack in the spring following her over the hills, if the scheduled licking of the enemy takes place. And having al ready taking considerable pace, we’re ab solutely sure <if meeting Hazel again. Hopkins went and done it last week. Yen' I don’t know whether In used a. scissors, a chisel, a knife or an ax. but whatever implement he used was effect ive The exaggerated toothbrush that had hung under his nose for a few weeks, making him a thing of ugliness and de spair forever, has gone Into history. Smarting from the insults and taunts of follow specialists, he tore the thing from his face, and like Richard, became him self again. "Upon his lip he wore a yellow mustache, Up wore it in October every day. And when they asked him why he shaved it off him, “f did it for my sweetheart far away.” Fact, too. Hoppy sent his picture to lii. girl ami we understand she told him if h< didn’t act the executioner, every thing was off. That’s the answer. Charley Hooper has been entertaining a toothache all week ami he has our sym pathy. We seldom have one but when we do, we’re the faintest hearted creat ure that ever lived. Wo suggested that he consult Horeshoor Myers, but he took the matter up at the dental infirmary. Here’s hoping that by the time this ap pears Charley will be painless, as friend dentist will undoubtedly take the tooth. Girls, gather around mo. Handsome Herbert Frank, the lion-hearted keeper "f the kitchen, is only 23 years old. He brags of it. Just think of a tender youth of his years away from the protect ice influences of Utica, N. Y. But do not fear for him. The boy can dun the kitch en and we all know It, from Sergeant Newton down, and he can take care of himself and 92 others in his own neoullar way And a substantial mess fund proves it Send this paper home, fieri). The distribution of Red Cross sweaters made the boys happy Wednesday, and the articles will most certainly ho fully appreciated, especially in “the cold gray dawn." A cold northeast wind blows down through the pines many a morning and if a chap didn’t have a sweatee to slip into he’d freeze two ribs. Gallagher says a man would have to be an Eskimo to stand it without the woolen wrapping. The boys are thankful. Playing pranks is a favorite nightly di version of some of the boys. Fabing r line back Wednesday night from a hard da’ 's work and labored for 20 minutes to get his box open before finally discov ering that somebody had nailed it down tight. It took Hopkins’, Massi and him to pry the cover off. Then suspecting Hopkins, Fabing turned his bed upside down and arranged it neatly so that the white haired one wouldn’t suspect he change. The fun was to come when Hop kins sat down and fell through. How ever Hopkins discovered the trick, and whil” Fabirg was away tied a rope to his I blankets, which were hauled off that in dividual during the night. Edward didn’t awaken and fearing he would freeze to death they let down the covering and tied the rope to his arm instead. They haul ed up the arrn and Fabing woke up to find his arm sticking straight in the air. Something, ho declares, is going to “bust loose" in that tent some one of these days. Major Peter A. Tulp Reports As New Personnel Adjutant of the M. G. T. C. COMMANDED CAMP FOR LIMITED SERVICE MEN Headed Syracuse, N. Y., Ex periment and Has Had Wide Experience Major Peter A. Tulp, who relieves Cap tain J. O. Strutz as personnel Adjutant of the Machine Gun Training Center, reported to headquarters Thursday and took up his new duties Friday of last week. Major Tulp, \vho is a resident nf New York city and a graduate of Rutgers college, entered the second officers’ train ing school, Plattsburg, N. Y.; and was commissioned first lieutenant in Novem ber 1917. He was assigned to Camp Dix, N. J., for duty in the personnel office, where he established a record for ac curacy and efficiency which resulted in his appointment as captain and camp personnel officer. In July 1918 he was commissioned ma jor and sent to take charge of the Syra cuse. N. Y., recruiting camp which was established by the government as an ex periment with the men placed in the limited service class. The results obtained were so success ful that the government has since ollied into active service all of the men ‘W <d in the limited service by the draft boards of al! states and they are now being «ent to camps throughout, the country. Major Tulp's wide experience and knowledge in classification and personnel office work led to his being selected for that important work at the Machine Gun Training ('enter: definition of "Moonshine" is Private Shein with his hair shaved off. Sergeant Velders is on the war path. Someone copped his shirt, an heirloom of the Philippines. S’matter, Pete? Corporal Ahearn is so proud of the three suits of B. V.

It is rumored that Corporal Lavelle is wearing a night cap to bed now. How about that. Finny?

Range (Continued from page one) a great cloud of dust was rising from the supposer location of the cross-roads, effectually stopping all traffic, such as moving troops or supply trains, which might have al tempted the passage. With men who in the da.vii before the war would almost have, been termed "rookies.” by means of the course of Inte.nsixe training that the men in the Machine Gun Center are given, Col Geo. T. Holden, commanding the Machine Gun School, had sucessfully staked the great est exhibition of machine gun fire ever witnessed in this country. The shots that, were fired at the. range world. True, they were tired at Inani mate targets. But the men who fired last week are going to ech* 'round the those shots at those inanimate targets arc the same kind of men. trained in lhe le way, as the thousands of ma chine gun officers and men that the Training (’enter has turned out since its establishment, here in May. They are the men who are going "over I there" to "Carry On" with the machine guns. And they cannot —they must not — fail to sustain the reputation that the American m.achine gunners who have gone before have established. Machine Gun Liberty Five Aid in Loan (Continued from Page one.) Reg. Sgt. Quinn, Sgt. Casey, Cpl. Hand man, Pvt. Bolger and Sgt. Bales come to Barnewll on the afternoon «.f the 19th inst for our rally in the interest of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Our town and community have been much handicapped in our work, due to the influenza epi demic which had a gr* t many of our people sick in bed and deaths in the com munity almost every day. The outlook was indeed gloomy for raising our quota, and we had almost lost hope of going over the top, but these young men of the camp, full of life and vigor, and with the success of the loan in their hearts, were of inestimable value ’o us. Their splen did music, as well as the efforts put forth by them to help us sell bonds, were in spiriting and very helpful, and we are deeply grateful to the boys as well as those in authority who permitted them to be with us. "We are glad to report that we went over the top in our community, raising about twenty per cent over our quota. “AH our people were very much im pressed by these young men who are so full of life and promise, and who seem anxious to reach the front before the war is over. "Their loyalty and enthusiasm has stimulated uh, and gave renewed energy, which in large measure enabled us to carry out < ur part of the work in raising the six billion dollars. "We all hope at some other convenient time we may have the pleasure of having the boys with us again. "Yours very- trulv, "Signed; E. A.

Do you recollect when you stood humbly in the prcscEce of the men while you nervously twirled your cap in your hands? Do you recollect the cuffs and kicks you got from the man .above when you worked the land of the Junker or wore the king’s coat, impressed for three years into compulsory military service, not in the de fense of your country and of a people's government, but in the prepara tion and execution of satanic schemes for world power by a mentally unbalanced dynasty? Do you recollect the servility with which you at tended the officer, the respect and self-effacement you had to show him whether you felt them or not? Do you remember how you and yours had to give way to the officer, no matter where you were, in private or pub lic, in church or saloon? How your wife or daughter had to vacate her seat whenever a representative of the ‘All highest' appeared? Do you recollect the tears of your little ones maltreated by the children of the man abeve? Do you recollect how every word and thought, every am bition and desire of yours were government-controlled and how most of them were ‘verbotten?* And then you came to the land where you began to breathe the air of freedom?” —Cosmis Gonski, Milwaukee, Wis.
