The lady sits on the porch sewing. Privates Hughes and Parker approach from the d’rec tion of camp.) Private Parker: Verily, there comes an urging from my stomach that my teeth do wrap themselves about some thing eatable. Private Hughes: Long since has my stomach recoiled itself to the fact that my throat has been cut. (They observe the lady sitting on the porch.) Private Parker: By my troth, I will approach yon Lady and request that 'out of the goodness of her heart she i give us the wherewithal to live yet an - j other day. Private Hughes: Hast thou the te- i merity: I confess I lack it. Private Parker: If thou wilst but i observe my actions they will answer thee. (Private Parker leaves Private Hughes and goes over and talks to the lady.) Private Parker. (Waving a long, lanky arm to Hughes). All’s well, my worthy friend. Private Hughes timidly approaches and enters the house. They examine the interior for a while and then Pri vate Parker having noticed a piano standing *n the corner, he proceeds j sanctimoniously toward it and eom- mences playing hymns on it.) Private Hughes: (to himself) Veri ly. that Parker is a subtle one. Private Parker (to himself): Hope I that I estimate my Madame right. (The Lady enters from an interior room.) Lady: Step this way. boys. Pivate Parker (almost leap ng; in wardly exultant): Ccnie. Hughes! Private Hughes (making an effort to beat ease and affable): Thia is a large house you have here. Private Parker (his jaws wrestling with somehing they never encountered before): Yep! Lady: Oh. this is a hotel: but the season is not quite here yet.* Private Hughes (curiosity master- I ing h’s eiquette): May I ask what i this is that you have served us? | Lady: Oh. that’s hog meat: fresh killed this morning. Privates Hughes and Parker (ini chorus, as if greatly eilightened): Oh! i (Their entire energy is concentrated upon the hog meat, et al, for a while until their appetites are appeased.) i Christmas Shopping Under Way at Camp The postmaster at Camp I Hancock says Christmas ' shopping has already begun. R. Le Sharpe, one of the j “Y” secretaries was the first i one to start the early mail- ’ ing of Christmas packages. ‘ The postmaster says now is i the time, before the big i rush, and he is right. TRENCH AND CAMP Cartoonist, and jack of all trades and master of none, met with a Joss yesterday. Some one threw a lit cigarette on Louie’s cot, mistaking it for a rospectacle, and the flame spread to Louie’s paper pillow, which contained under the headlines a letter from Libby the only one Louie ever adored, Cakes Guthier who sleeps in the same terr immediately offered to secure a substantial Insurance policy for Louie. Sgt. Major Frank Knappfc the James town New York devil, is the understudy larnor for Sgt. Major Bauer. Knappe does the work and Bauer the talking some combination. Joe the cartoonist was dmiidely peeved because of the refusal of the. M. P.’s to grant permission for his enjoving a meal after the Mootball game last Saturday. Joe applied for permission, and promptly secured a “bawling out”. Henry Landau of tent No 9, forgot to report the other evening and as the con sequemm thereof, can ikt rejoin the ollie until he renders an account to the Tent furlers of the squad. Joe Klein is the official Stenographer for the Press Agent of the football team and jus’ to secure additional practice, writes the “dope” for the United War Welfare Drive meeting. 1 ’. Skies Weld is daily giving performan ces of the actual Bohemian life of Wash ington Square New York. The perfor mance lacks the vital punch, the bottle of claret. Regt. Sgt. Majojr Alvah Young will upon termination of his contract with Uncle Sam. join the colors: of Boston, no matter who she undertakes to fight. My but we miss the Personnel Detach ment. Yes we do, miss their grabbing all Che “grub” within forty miles of them. Infant Wiener telegraphed to his “sweetie” that the Peace proposal met with his approval, and asked for a date to be set with a view towards starting a war of his own. Private Hughes (endeavoring to think of the bestthing to say under the circumstances, hesitatingly): Er - how much do we owe you? (His hes itancy is caused not by a fear of tlu lady taking offense, but by fear- that she may name a price. He slips his hand into his pocket in an offhand, careless way.) Lady; Well. 1 think I one dollar would be ail right. Private Parker <h ; s lower jaw drop ping until it. touches the table): Yes --er- sure. (The dollar is paid and Private Hughes leads Private Parker out, he being somewhat dazed.) END. ; Telegram: “Private Orans: Camou llage Department- The store is still open. Abe." Privates Hughes and Obringer know know’ how to get hunk on the mess hall, even though egg., are costly and , it. takes pains to make a fire. Sergeant Kane is just bubbling over with joy and the anticipation of get ting home and climbing into his lit -1 tie pink pajamas once again. i Herewith we have the song of the stock room as sung l»y Privates ‘jHu gh es and Ja y ne< j If you seek a book just you look I In some corner, crack or nook I In our stock room you’ll find it. • Come right along, one or a throng— ■ “The Technique of Zeps" or “The rules of ping-pong’’ Wo have ’em both and we are not loth To give ’em to you if this you'll do: Got a request with H.

Private Henson's tenor. Private Horowit's “Have you got a match? Sergant Meloney's fork on the tin plate in the mess hall. Private Wesson's “I want to go home.” Private Lane's “I wish she'd write.'' Hereatfer when Private Wiry, Win dy, Wessman disappears on Saturday afternoons we feel quite sure that he can be located at the sheet music counter of Woolworth's store in town. He is immensely interested in the lat est songs, especially when sung by a certain saleslady. OUR WEEKLY AMPOON. Eighth: Private Riedel.

NEWSY NOTES FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE DEPT. 1 Aftpr considerable experience at K. I’., f’rivate Meyers is enjoying a rest as assistant to our chief electrician— • Steady Boys—it may only be a tem porary positon. Our proposed "Glee Club" had its opening on November 7th. Private Crane should make a good singer (with a little practice). Private Bradley was also there but we did not hear much from him. We are. wondering how Recruit Strode enjoyed it. Det’s all give him a hand, boys. He is only recruit now. but don't forget he is our future band master. We are still wondering why our per sonnel department, from the sergeant major down to the buck private, to work until 10 o'clock on Thursday night. A lot of the boys received telegrams on November 7th. We are still in doubt as to why the sudden excite ment. Perhaps Private Baker caa en lighten us. We notice that the boys in our in firmary are at last doing their bit in the way of physical training and mil itary courtesy. Wonder who's to blame for that. We are wondering how the cooks like their daily exercise of doing ther usual bunk fatgue. Why make a press agent out of Cor poral P.echt? He never clamed to be one. Headquarters Dev. Bn. Notes Tailor Panetz has his hands full al tering O. D.’s. Corporal Tompkins is away on fur lough. Private Carroll danced at the 4th Company's Hallowe’en banquet. His imitation of Pavlow'a, the Russian dancer, was announced by Jockey Mil ler as “an imitation of Pat Logan do ing the swan." The music was fur nished by Corporal Walters and his stringed orchestra. ! Lieut. Col. Foerster Trans ferred to Camp Stanley Lieut. Col. Lewis Foerster, who has been Motor Transport Inspector and Camp Exchange Officer sine ehis ar rival in Camp Hancock, has been re- j lieved from duty here and transferred | to the Cavalry Training School, Camp ! Stanley for duty. Captain Marlin C. Martin of the Operation Sectoin has been appointed (’amp Exchange Officer to succeed Lieut. Col. Foerster. American Girls at Home While touring a section of the front. Miss Mary Seiler and Miss Grace Kerns, musicians in the service of the Y M. C. A spent an interesting evening with General Edwards and his staff in a mag nificent old chateau which had been turn ed into a divisional headquarters. The “Y” entertainers dined with the staff and were later permitted to attend a “war conference.” They are the first American girls who have been al lowed to listen to a war conference. Tips Titled Waitress An American soldier in London was enjoying his first feed at. Eagle Hut. Not only was the food good, but the waitress who brought it to him was just the right sort of a woman. The soldier was delighted. When he had finished his meal he in sisted that the kind waitress accept a a tip ofsixpence. The superintendent of the hut caused the trooper much tneQjal consternation when he informed him that the kind waitress was Lady Acheson. !
