said it was big happy family, and
so 1t Is, but as in all happy families,
there are servants, so in the British
army there are also servants, officers
servants, or 30. s." as they are termed.
In the American army the common
name for them is "dog robbers" From
controversy in the English papers.
Winston Churchill made the state
ment, as far us can remember, that
the officers servants in the British
forces totaled nearly two hundred
thousand. He claimed that this re-
moved two hundred thousand excep-
tionally good and well-truined fighters
from the actual firing line, claiming
that the officers, when selecting a man
for servants duty, generally picked the
man who had been out the longest and
knew the ropes.
But from my observation find that
a large percentage of the servants do
go over the top, but behind the lines
they very seldom engage in digging
parties, fatigues. parades or drills.
This work is as necessary as actually
engaging in an attack, therefore think
it would be safe to say that the all
round work of the two hundred thou
sand is about equal to fifty thousand
men who are on straight military du-
ties. In numerous instances, officers
servants hold the rank of lance-corpo-
rails and they assume the same duties
and authority of butler, the one
stripe giving him precedence over the
other servants.
There are lots of amusing stories
told of 20. S."
One day one of our majors went into
the servants billet and commenced
"blinding" ut them, saying that his
horse had no straw and that he per-
sonally knew that straw had been is
sued for this purpose. He called the
lnnce-corporal to account. The cor.
poral answered, "Blime me, sir, the
straw was issued, but there wasn't
enough left over from the servants
beds; in fact, we had to use some of
the 'ay to 'elp out, sir"
1t is needless to say that the serv.
ants dispensed with their soft beds
that particular night.
Nevertheless it is not the fault Of
the individual officer, it is just the sur
vival of quaint old English custom.
You know an Englishnan cannot be
changed in day.
But the average English officer is a
good sport. He will sit on fire step
and listen respectfully to Private
Jones' theory Of the way the war
should be conducted. This war is
gradually crumbling the once insur-
mountable wall of caste.
You would be convinced Of this IL
you could see King George go among
his men on an inspecting tour under
fire, or pause before little wooden
cross in some shell-tOssed field with
tears in his eyes as he reads the in
scription. And little later perhaps
bend over a wounded man on stretch
er, patting him on the head.

CHAPTER xix-continued.

The game is honest and quite en-
5oynble. Sometimes you have fourteen
numbers on your card covered and
you are waiting for the fifteenth to be
called. In an imploring voice you call
out, Come on, Watkins, chum, I'm
sweating on 'Kelly's Eye"
Watkins generally replies, "Well,
keep out of draft, you'll catch cold"
Another game is 'Pontoon," played
with cards; it is the same as our
"Black Jack" a "Twenty-one."
A card game called Drag" is also
popular. Using cnsino deck, the
dealer deals each player three cards.
1T is similar to our poker, except for
the fact that you only use three cards
and cannot draw. The deck is never
shufiled until a man shows three of n
kind or a "prile" as it is called. The
value of the hands are, high card, a
pair, Il run, flush or three of kind
or "prile." The limit is generally a
penny, so 1t Is hard to win n fortune.
The next in popularity is card
game called "Nap." 1t is we'll named.
Every time played it went to sleep.
Whist and solo whist are played by
the highbrows of the company.
When the gamblers tire of all other
games they try Banker and Broker"
spent week trying to teach some
Of the Tommies how to play poker, but
because won thirty-five francs they
declared that they didn't "fawncy" the
game.
Tommy plays few card games; the
general run never heard of poker, ell
chre, seven up. or pinochle. They have
game similar to pinochle called
"Royal Bezique." but few know how to
play it.
Generally there are two decks of
cards In section, and in short time
they are so dog-eared and greasy, you
can hardly tell the ace of spades from
the ace Of hearts. The owners of these
decks sometimes condescend to lend
them after much coaxng.
So you see, MIR. Atkins has his fun
mixed in with his hardships and, con-
trary to popular belief, the rank and
file of the British army in the trenches
is one big happy family. Now in Vir-
ginia. ut school, was fed on old Nc
Guffy's primary reader, which gave me
an opinion of an Englishman about
equal to a '76 Minute Mans backed up
by n Sim Fciner's. But found Tom
my to be the best of mates and gen.
tleman through and through. He never
thinks of knocking his officers. If one
makes costly mistake and Tommy
pays with his blood, there Is no gen.
eral condemnation of the officer. He
is just pitied. 1t is exactly the same
as 1t was with the Light Brigade ut
Balaclava. to say nothing of Gallipoli,
Neuve Chapelle and Loos. Personally
] remember little incident where
twenty of us were sent on trench
raid, only two Of us returning, but /
will tell this story later on.

CARING FOR CHILDREN.

Editor FL PasO Herald
Would you believe that here IN FL
Paso, there exists two people who
neglect their children to the extent
Of leaving a six weeks old baby and
a 20 months old child alone at night,
when they want to take in the
movies,
When this same mother wanted to
take a trip to another state, she
calmly took her tiny baby, which
was sick at the time. to a local in
stitution to leave It during her alb
sence. and when the father was in
formed that the child was very sick
he did not as much as go out to see
It or wire the mother that their baby
was very ill
God, who is ever merciful. took It
back; it's tiny spirit has flown back
to the giver where It viii never know
neglect again.
Such parents could learn something
from the poor Mexican woman, who.
rather than leave her baby uncared
for, wraps It in rags and carries Il
next to her body to keep it warm
when she leaves her humble home.
