That’s why we didn’t have any hot coala." That would be a good excuse, but un fortunately not a true one. and, as we have a high regard for veracity, tye'll have to fall baric on the truth. A certain party objected to our use of the desk on which the hot coals were prepared, probably fearing that the heat would Bpoii the finish of the desk, and, as a silent rebuke, we decided not to advertise the company for that week by sending in the hot coals. The silent rebuke being administered, we re with you again, and, as we're now using an ordinary packingbox, in lieu of a desk, we hope thia certain party won’t hutt-in any more. "Are ye with us. Dlnty?" Discovered! The reason why Simon Prather is so anxious to get home. Simon has a widow and eight children waiting for him back home in Cov ington, Ky. Sam Bush likes the army a good deal better now that he is on speak ing terms with the Colonel. With Solerstrom, it's different. He says the next time he meets the col onel, tie’s going to pass right by him without speaking. One of the sights »f the camp-Corp. Warner taking the shoes oft a black horse. Handsome Harry Newbold will be able to find his way home through the Walton Woods very easily now. Jack. Thomas goodheartedly made him a present of a new flashlight to use when Harry’s meandering hts way home ward in the wee sma’ hours. Wonder what sort, of eats they're getting in the motorised company that they make such a lot of noise over getting ice cream for last Sunday's dinner? We et the ice cream so often that were almost sick of it, not to mention butter three times a day. What Is it that top-sergeants always say, "forward, whoa!" when what they mean la "forward, gid-dap?” Sergeant Parent wants us to an nounce that hereafter all the fellows In his section' Hofers end Soderstrom especially, will have their shoes pol ished for Retreat. All right. Surge, we've said it. It looked for a while as though we weren't going to get- any money for January as the days passed and no pay-roll made it's appearance. Hut, at the last possible moment, on the evening of the twepty-ilfth, when some of the fellows were already in bed, the belated visitor made it's ap pearance. and everything is serene again. Oh, boy! Wo’re happy when the ghost walks. The Maching Gun School sure made a dandy showing in the Field Meet last? Saturday, and took the honor of being tile best athletic-aggrogntlon In camp sway from the Training Battal ion. Harry Newbold and .luck Thomas were the stars of the meet, this getting to be a habit with Hurry. Thomas got second in the JOO-yd- dash, arid first in the 220-yd. Newbold got his usual two first places, the 100-yd. dash and the running hrond Jump. Then, to prove that it was merely u techni cality that prevented him from gar nering more honors, Harry did five feel, three inches in the high Jump, which was won by a Jump of four feet, nine. The Training Battalion was going to walk away With out bufieh in the Tug of-war; that is, before the contest started. Did you notice the result? We simply stood them on their heads! Hot Dog! Anyone else got a swelled head? Besides these, we got first in the shot-put, first and third in .the three legged race, and walked away with the relay-race. We would have got some more only they didn't run any more events. Oli, please. Mr. Big-guy-whos re sponsible, won't you give us back! our weekly dances at the K. of C. Hall? ! We're lost without them! A newspaper friend writes us from ' a little town in I.uxeml urg, knocking i it. He says. “It rains here every min- : nte of every day. but it's no worse than I the town deserves. It ought to rain here forever, if I had a dog that was satisfied to live here, I'd shoot him!" Oh, if we could only describe Camp Hancock so eloquently! Sergeant Clubh is raving mad be- ' cause all the privates in the company rank him. as he-says. Last Saturday he had to wait till the end of the line to get his pay. Not only that but lie’s sore because they moved the guard house when he was on guard the other day, and he says he had to do fatigue at the same time be was op guard. The main trouble is the Sergeant’s homesick and wants to get home to his wife. Notice that happy smile Sergeant Parent ig. wearing lately? There's a reason! This popular sergeant has heard a little birdie tolling him that he’s to be furloughed to the reserve shortly, and he’s so overjoyed that he can’t keep it a secret that he’s long ing to see his . .fe and baby back home. Here's luck, Sergeant! Well miss you, but we're glad to see you go. Why is it that Wilson takes two hours to read a little letter. He must read it more than a couple of times. There's a rumor that ,Wardrop took the job of rail-orderly so no one could see how many letters he ggts each day. from a certain little girl in the Bronx. ■loin the army! Seo the world! One soldier, who has been at Camp Hancock for a year, being transferred from one company to another remark ed recently, "Gee, I never knew the worl was so small!” We hear that this is to be the last issue of "Trench and Camp." If it is, we’ll have to put our notes on the bul letin-board hereafter. Here’s the words of one of the new popular songs: Poor little me. I'm on K. P„ I scrub thh floor on bended knee. Against my wishes 1 scrub the dishes To make this wide world safe for Democracy. Sort of strikes a sympathetic chord, doesn’t it? Ray Sheehan is back from the hospl- ' tai, and as Meeting is also back with us. all we need is for Pete Thompson and Jimmy McLaughlin to get back from their furloughs to have our Cham ■ pionship base-ball team back to it’s full strength. "Pygmy’' Vogel Is also back on tltu ' Jeb. He doesn’t appear to have lost any weight. When do wo go home? PVT. FRANK D. SMITH.
