Hot Coals From The
Infantry Machine Gun Co.
By Pvt. Frank D. Smith.
When do we get our warrants?
East W< dnesday fifty new men were
transferred to our company from the
SEecond Group. What’s up?
Guess we’re more overjoyed to have
th-He fifty new men join us than they
are to join us. Misery loves company.
Welcome, brothers in distress.
Mother, take down your service flag,
your boy’s safe in the Infantry Machine
Gun Company.
How’s this for a company song?:
Tie- Infantry Machine Gun
With service flags at home;
Th'- Infantry Machine Gun
They pulled an awful bone.
Wo thought we’d see some fighting
And our drills we’d never shirk
But now. the non-coms they do bunk fa
tigue,
Us privates do the work.
Time, 1965:
Grandfather "did bis bit’’ at Camp
Hancock.
Grandson.—“ Grandfather, what did you
do in th' groat war against Germany?”
Grandfather.—“ Just for asking that
question, young man, you go to bed with
out any supper.”
Who burned the. liver? Ask Black—he
knows.
Oh, Sahgont, deah sahgent, pray trll me,
What have you for dinnaw to-night?
For dinnaw you should have something
nourishing,
And for breakfast, why just something
light.
As you were!
Lieutenant’s orderly--Goldbrlcker’s Par
adise—-ask Jimmy McLaughlin, he knows.
Jazz .‘•ays if you’ve got to learn monkey
drill in the. cavalry, he’ll be a k. p. for
life.
You don’t need to think that Just be
cause you're going home next week you
don’t need to work.
Hot dog!
How is It that Harry Newbold ran hur

in the set of games held last Wednesday
afternoon. Our own Jack Thomas, the
pride pf Lowell, finished second.
The Machine Gun School cleaned up at
the big camp athletic meet held last Sat
urday. and we had no small share in the
triumph. Harry Newbold was the star of
the meet, with three firsts to his credit.
Unfortunately, however, he was only
credited with two firsts, on account of
some ruling by the committee, that no
one could participate in more than two,
events. However, managed to g°t
into the relay race, which was won easily
by the team representing the Machine
Gun school. Three of our men, New
bold. Thomas and Bedore ran on the
M. G. S. team.
Newbold won the 100-yard dash In 10 1-5
seconds, and also -.von the running broad
jump. In the 220-yard dash, Thomas
finished second and Bedore third.
Money’s no object with Jazz. He’d go
to the cavalry exhibition, even if they
charged ten or fifteen cents.
Hoy, Le Beau, call up and see why that
suit hasn’t come yet!
Well, the poker players didn't got Jazz
Magoni for much and he’s all togged out.
but a silk hat cord. Wonder why he
missed that?
Ben Watkins doesn’t like to so his name
in print so we’ll leave him out this week.
Prather wants to go home. He con
fided this to a couple of follows in a con
fidential moment the other day, but gave,
no reason for this strange desire. Ho
far as is known he is the only member
of the company so afflicted.
If Pygmy Vogel stays in the kitchen
much longer he’ll get rid of some of that,
superfluous flesh (as they say in Bos
ton) that he’s been toting around with
him for some time. Vogel sure does work
while he’s in that kitchen. You ought
to see him making biscuits!
Something must be wrong with Supply
Sergeant Mathason, he’s hardly eating
a thing nowadays. Tn love. Math?
By the way, you’d better get on the,
right side of Sergt. Mathason. He check
ed up saddle equipment last Saturday
and promises that some of the fellows
who least expect it will find some, Jost
saddle equipment galloping across th<4r
pay-roll next pay day. And it won’t be
on a horse, either.
Where, do we go from here, boys
Where do we go from here.
We thought we’d be on our way home
Sometime around New Year
But now it looks as though they’re going
To keep us here, oh, dear!
We want to get home before July
And drink a keg of beer.
Shuld says that one of these days,
he's going to stand reveille.
He’s happy now. , Sergt. Mathason

SOME SPRINGS OF THE
MOTORIZED TRUCKS
Could you beat it? 16 weeks of
schooling and all the ones that made
good are here to stay for detail.
Where do you get that stuff motor

vantage of the word camouflage.
Eddie found a stock collar, and
they still call him shaby.
That's till right. Eddie. Save up
your money, then come and live with
me and Baby Thomas.
Hanliham and Newman are still

The only trouble Paul finds with

not pay the men all their money. He

If Newman keeps kneeling on his

HEARD AROUND THE
WAGON COMPANY
We're c-oinc to move again. We
wonder when we are going to sleep one
month in the same old tent.
We’d like to know who the ladies
are who send those blue, oink and gilt
edged letters to Private Tambolini.
Who are they, big boy? You always
smile when you get them.
Privates Tambolini and Teacher go
to town quite often lately. We think
there are some George peaches attract
ing them.
It’s going to be kind of rough on us
boys now that we’ll have to put our
fires out at night. Cheer up, you say.
We will when we hear the train whis
tle the day we leave.
We’re getting a lot of P. T. lately.
After fifteen minutes of double time
you can’t even say. "Oh, it does you
good.” Keep it up when you're back
home.
Pretty good for some fellows who
like K. P. dutv. Goldbrickers, front
and center!
Stop worrying about home. Our
mess sergeant is sure there when it
comes to chow. Keen it un. Sergeant;
we’re getting to like you. so don’t leave
us.
We took a course m machine gun

We re instructing mules now. Fall

ECHOES FROM "Y” 75
"Y” No. 75 serves all the boys in
general and the second and third regi
ments, Ordnance Training Corps, in
particula r.
Our boys are entraining daily and
the tents and mess halls are depopu
lating at a rapid rate, in fact, it begins
to look like a majority of the boarders
at our mess hall will soon be ”Y” sec
retaries.
We have learned to love our boys
and we sorely miss them, but are glad
they have the opportunity to return
home to wife, mother or wife to be,
whichever it may be, and every moth
er’s son carries with him the best
we have.
Those who are permitted or rather
compelled to st. y longer, will find our
latch strings on the outside and a cor
dial welcome awaiting all.
We will continue our usual pro
grams—something doing every night.
Last week in addition to three real
snappy, gingery, spicey movies we
were very highly and most profitably
entertained by Drum and Tracy, our
camp secretaries. Both subjests could
be properly titled ppreparing for the
future, along different lines, however.
Saturday night was open. Mr.
Sharpe, our general roclal secretary,
who had quite a treat in store for us,
was sent to Camp Grant on a troop
train. He still has the aforesaid stuff
in his system, however, and pplans to
put on something really worth while
when he returns.

Sunday services. We all greatly en
