the earlier battles in the Philippines:

Capt Reilly's battery. were halted for
quite while on perfectly fiat mill
tary road In full view and fine range
Of the Filipino trenches. OF course, to
lie fiat on the road was the only avail
able use of cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the col
ors In the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. As a recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. As a
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were 'plopping" down the
road and kicking up the gravel, q
young Yankee suddenly asked:
Say, Mike. what do the British sol
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as fash came the retort:
"A British soldier has no head,
SORT"
After a full two-minute pause, Mike
continued:
