'CHUCKED ME UP TO GENERAL’ General Bailloud of F.cnch m. my Re minds Corporal That There Are Others. Saloniki. — General Bailloud, com manding part of the French expedi tionary force in the Balkans, is so popular with his men that nearly every good story originating In his corps is either about him or attributed to him. The latest going the rounds tells how a soldier of the rough-and-ready style was returning to quarters near Monastir with a water Jug in eacli hand. Coming across another mud- stained “pollu” sitting beside the road, he hailed him: “Hello, old man. Say, can’t you car ry one of these jugs for me?” “Sure,” said the other, and they went on together. “Would you believe it,” said the first soldier, “they’ve chucked me up to the grade of corporal.” “What of that?” replied the other; “didn’t they chuck me up to the grade of general?” After nearly dropping his Jug, the soldier drew closer and made out three faint stars on a mud-stained sleeve. He drew himself up at attention and saluted. “Walk on, corporal,” said General Bailloud, who wouldn’t consent to give up his jug. £********************♦***£ t “SLACKER” HOLDS HE { i GAVE WIFE WRONG AGE S $ — s ¥ Kansas City, Mo.—To keep ¥ 5 his wife from knowing his exact } ¥ age, which he considered too ad- ¥ $ vanced, Anthony Schwatken of J ¥ Kansas City, Kan., told the clerk ¥ $ he was twenty-five years old jp ¥ when he applied for a marriage ¥ $ license last January.
