The Base Hospital detachment was well represented at the football game at Warren Park last Saturday. We also had the pleasure of hearing the famous opera star sing her favorite song. “Kiss Me Again.” Oh you, Fritzl Scheff. When the patients of this hospital heard the war was over, quite, a few got well. When this news was recti fied they sick again, and a few other men felt unwell. The men who were recently promo ted in this detachment have our con gratulations and we wish you luck: Sergeant Cullen, Sergeant Gantos, Ser geant. Stone, Sergeant Gatewood, Ser geant Pierce, Sergeant Jenkins, Ser geant Kaplan, Sergeant Hootman, Cor poral Lex Neal and Corporal Seeley. Private C. R.

We like him so to please him, he’s in again. Don’t rattle the mail clerk! He claims he Is not accustomed to hand ling mails. That’s pretty deep for an un- I sophicated youth. It is because tey tickle his toes that Pete goes sockless? Who knows? Meyer is still looking for a checker player. Did you ever hear O’Malley sing: ‘Oh For Heaven’s Sake, Kum On.” Did. you notice how attractive the White Brigade of K. P.’s looked that night. , MEYER was the turkey trotting K. P. Who could keep his feet still with so much jazzing? ALTHOUGH a cop sang “Rosie O’Grady,” “Mother Machree” and oth er delightful Irish ballads, O’Malley “copped’* all the attention. And did yer notice how his chest swelled with pride because he was the only Irish man in the house? 5 ONE OF THE~ PER FORMERS was right when he said: “We should worry, the war is over. All we got to do is to wait till Pr sidont Wilson says; “As f you were." JUDGING by the clever acting of Master OUunnor, of Augusta, there’s still plenty of “pep“in the south, t WE HOPE THE LADIES all en joyed the dishes and hope they won’t be jealous of our cooks. WE WONDER whether O'Malley had a grudge against our K. P.'s when he gave them the street cleaners out fit. There wasn’t one suit in the whole crowd to fit. WITH SO MANY of the organiza tion with their names published in this issue, it is probable that the circulation of Trench and Camp will take a big jump in this school. While there is no objection to sending home as many papers as desired. It is hoped that sub scriptions be placed, for the success of Trench and Camp rests with the num ber of subscriptions. For *SO cents for three months the paper is mailed to any address. Give your subscription in at the office, MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS but wasn’t Sergeant Shone extremely boisterous, to say the least, when that performer sang that bally song with the English accent, don’t cher know.

MESS HALL NOTES Sergeant Johnson was visited by some of his lady friends recently and all the K. P.’s stood at attention and started singing Here Comes the Bride." Private H. Erbe expects to have the kaiser on fatigue duty very shortly. Ho. sure would have some work. Private L. Santacrose remarked re cently that watermelon can be fried. How do you get that way, Louie? Privates P. Marcy and C. Scredeo are anxiously awaiting for their license to open up a case, as partners, as soon as they get home. Corporal Wood wishes to announce I to all men using their own individual mess kits, that he will hold a meeting at 7 o’clock every evening to show them how to prevent their cereals from dropping into the coffee as they pass on. RECORD OFFICE Sergeant Major William Ernest Ba- ( ker has been happy since he received a letter from a certain someone. Who i is she, Bake? Does she live in Au- i gust a? i ♦ 1 Little Corporal Bergstresser is ex pecting a surprise of some sort. Are you going to get married Bergie? A corporal’s salary won't keep you from talking to your old friends, will it? Private E. Reimer has been indis- i posed of late. Oh, Frank! Have you been fighting again? Our new orderly is an ambitious young Georgia cracker How do they get that way?" asks Private Brey. Private ’ Holiday’’ Simpson has been hard at work of late. What’s the mat ter ole top, are you despondent? Sergeant Hart would relieve the fel lows' mind by telling us who the girl What Do You Think Is My Share? By BRUCE BARTON. He is a conscientious gentleman, who honestly wants to do right. And he came to tnc shaking bis head. “I want to do my full part in this United War Work Campaign," he said "Do you think a hundred dollars is my share?" And I told him that it would be hard for anyone but himself to de cide. "There arc so many different ways of looking at money,” I said. A hundred and seventy millions looks mighty big at first glance. It's forty times what Jefferson gave for the Louisiana territory. It’s a dollar and seventy cents for every man. woman and child in I the land: it's more than eight dollars and a half for every household. "You ean figure it on that basis," 1 told him. “On the basis of E dollars and cents. Or you can figure it on the basis of boys." "Os boys?" he questioned. "I do not understand." "It's less than fifteen cents a day for each of our soldiers and sailors." I answered. "Fifteen cents a day to give them warmth and comfort and entertainment, and lectures, and games, and the thought of mother and of God." “Fifteen cents a day for a boy: two for a quarter a day. How many j boys will you take?” And his eyes kindled. “I think I could take ten at least," he said. ! He drew his check book out. J "Figure it out and tell me the price," he said. “I want you to give i them the best you've got. What is it going to cost?" “ for ten boys, for a year, at two for a quarter a day?" So I figured it out for him: Suppose you figure it out for yourself. — .. . . .... . p was that he is so interested in. Oh! I Pinky. ' ' Private Cole: We would like to know' confidentially if you W’ill ever improve your filing. Keep up heart, ole boy, you- will in time. “Y” MASTERS TASK OF DISTRIBUTING SUPPLIES The Red Triangle secretaries in the post exchange service overseas are about as little troubled with ennui as : • any group of individuals in the entire j military organization of the United States. What with the job of hand ling the huge volume of business that flows daily through each one of these hundreds of establishments and the task of getting up from the supply depots rhe enormous quantities of to bacco, biscuits, cakes, candy, chewing gum and other articles of this char acter, they lead a strenuous life. It is no small job to provide for the needs of thousands of soldiers who demand any old thing they happen to want when they come into a post ex change. To be sure, the Red Triangle has laid in a plentiful supply of all < those articles most in demand, but to get the supplies from the up to the front lines for distribution among the doughboys is “something else.’’ Hundreds of motor trucks are em ployed in this transportation service; when the trucks can go no further the ”Y" secretaries grab a back-load and off they go to the exchanges close V> the front line trenches. Some of the secretaries suffer shell-shock while on this duty: some of them are put in the hospital with bullets in their bodies and others fall victims to the gas at tacks made by :h< • Hun. But they get the supplies to the boys in th° trenches which is the main consideration. DISCHARGES A LA MODE “ALL ABOARD” By First Sergeant J. A. Solensky <6th Co., Group No. 1, M. T. D.) The company was named the 6th and well equipped, And waiting for the discharge tide. You’d Noah most peculiar crowd Os creatures were inside.

Sergeant Bruner and the meal Vanderberg stood by the hobby horse And Thomas Mitchel! stood there blocking up The passageway of course, Gannuch and Ryan the Irish Bull, Also Harris and Ashton like the shark The sad Cook Mello and Smith the happy bird. Just like a lobster on a lark. The Ericksons and Chestnut like a bookworm And Mlnarik a la Wales, Solensky and Bertrand were hauling up the news. PROMOTIONS IN BAKERY CO.

Hostess House To Open Soon Word reached us just as we go to press that the Hostess House, situated on Wrightsboro Road between the K. of C. and J. W. B. buildings—now partly open to the soldiers and their friends —the geenral director. Miss Louise C. Walker, has thrown the big reading and lounging room open to the soldiers and added the word that the house would be formally open upon completion of the cafeteria which would be in about ten days. The lounging room is beautifull dec urated and very attractive, the wicker furinture together with the large open fire place will meet instant favor among soldiers and their mothers, wifes and sweethearts, who will make the house their headquarters. The Machine Gunners are invited to use the reading room during the coming week. The house will not however, be open at night until after the big opening next week. Watch for the date.
