ARMY ENGINEER
COMPOSES SONG
Catchy Song TO Tune of son of a
Gambalier" Is Sung in
France

Mrs l.. S. Grassland of Pullman
received letter from her son, Fred
in the 21st Engineers, with the fol-
lowing song, which was composed by
Lieutenant Darrick, Co. E., of the
21st Engineers. The words are set to
the tune of The Son of a Gambolier."
Come all you gallant fellows, and a
story you shall hear
OF the trials and tribulations of an
army engineer;
Like every honest fellow, he took
his liquor clear,
TIL Colonel Peak said You shall not
touch whiskey, wine or beer. "
Chorus:
He's helluva, helluya, helluya, hell
iva an army engineer;
A wandering skate from every state,
and nothing does he fear.
He tries to do his duty. and he tries
to do it we'll,
But the captain and the sergeant and
the corporal give him hell
The surgeon looked him over and the
surgeon grinned with glee,
- shot in the arm will do no harm,
bring out my long squeeze. ;"
With fifty million typhoid bugs pa
trolling through his blood
They shot him fifty million more and
then his name was mud.
Chorus:
They hung a pack upon his back that
weighed one hundred pounds
\ marching to the target range to
shoot a dozen rounds,
And after that he walks five miles
up to his knees in dust,
And when they said take off your
shoes, he just sat down and
cussed.
Chorus:
They taught him every kind of gait,
ITO march, To rush, " ITO
crawl"
The first was bad, the next was
worse, the last was worst of
all.
He skinned his belly on the rock and
snagged it on a nail,
He'd have made a d good lizard if
he'd only had a tail
Chorus;
He went out to the rifle range to
learn to fire at will,
The aiming and the trigger
squeeze" the enemy to kill.
His rifle kicked him in the jaw, he
missed the bullseye mile.
The chow shack is the only place
where he shows any style.
Chorus:
The captain took him out one day to
give him skirmish drill
And Colonel Slifer happened by, a
little time to kill.
In place, halt! That looks like hell, >"
the colonel loudly swore,
For such line of skirmlshers
never saw before"
Chorus:
One day he took ten-mile hike, and
loaded up his pack
With sox and soap and underwear a.
humping on his back.
The sweat ran down into his boots, he
thought his spine would pop,
He put one ankle out of joint and
then he had to hop.
Chorus:
He's rambling bum from twenty
one, an army engineer,
He's going to France to shoot the
pants from off the Germans
rear.
When he gets back from Germany,
the people all shall hear
1t does not pay to get in the way of
an army engineer.
Chorus:

ANEW DRAFTplAN UNDER CONSIDERATION

The proposition to increase the draft
ages failed in the senate. The draft
ages will remain as they were, p to
81 until the administration unfolds its
own plan in the fall.
The amy men want the youths. In
sistence on lowering draft age to IS
has come from the officers of the army.
They like to catch them young. They
make better soldiers because they are
Uniformed, because the spirit of adyen-
ture is still strong in them and their
ties are not so strong as when mar
riage business and the like center their
lives on one point and in one commun-
ity.. On the other hand the citizen
knows that 1S-year- old boys are not
fully developed and feels that they are
unfit for the hardships of warfare. The
president seems to agree with this
view. The democrats in the senate
stand ~ the President.
But that some system of universal
training has been agreed upon is gos-
siped from Washington and corrobo-
rated by the senate vote.
However, the senate might have ex
tended the draft age upward with the
approval of the country. The differ
ence between 81 and 35 in home and
business ties Is not great. Most OF US
are tied up with business and have
any but the strictly economic stapd-
point of business and army economy
the man above 81 has as much to fight
for and to protect as the man under 81.
No doubt the plan being worked out
will provide for getting the IS to Il
year-old ready for the service without
placing him in the trenches or submit
ting him to the hardships Of the field.
Unless it does make him ready to be
real soldier when he arrives at his ma
iority 1t will be of small use and meet
| with slight success.
Men above 81 should be drafted when
needed but registration for the draft
even tho the regstrant may be diff
! fered in his classification introduces 50
much uncertainty and hazard into his
| affairs that his plans for development
| of industry are all disturbed and sus-
pended, his credit placed in jeopardy

cations for the future destroyed. Men

pended sword of the draft "ntil they

TO BERLIN VIA VIENNA.

Coincident with the German foreign
secretary's announcement that Ger
many can not expect to win the war by
a crushing defeat of allied armies but
must resort to negotiations the con-
viction Is growing that the allies can
not win the war by frontal attacks
upon the western front and a march
to Berlin. 4 flank movement Of some
kind must be devised. The Japs have
proposed an advance from the east
thru Russia and they are ready to help,
The slavic people held as subject races
by the dual monarchy Of Austria Hun
gary want the attack to be made by the
Salonica army from the southeast
while the Italians would have it made
upon the Austrian army now on the
Italian front.
The preponderance of opinion by ex-
perts has been that the war will end
finally by collapse Of the civil popula-
ton behind the battle lines. Such col

Even the killing Of an ex-czar
creates no special excitement. So many
better and more useful men are being
killed daily that the assassination Of a

decided upon universal military train
ing. The necessity for preparing men
enough to win this war has forced
him to it and he has been compelled

eighteen for the army and the admin
istration wants to hold them back I'M

CONSERVING TRAP SHOOTERS.
[Story County Herald.1

fStory County Herald.l
By the way, the thought Keeps OBJ
truding itself: how comes it that there
are enough sharpshooters left in the
country to get up championship trap
shoot now that there is such demand
for men who can shoot in the army? OF
course, we know that most of these
trap shooters are above draft age. but
considering their experiences with fire.
arms their age might be overlooked.
Think what it would mean to have the
thousands OF duck hunters. who are
used to stalking their game in all sorts
Of weather, in cold and wet water,
sometimes crawling thru slush and
weeds on their belly. and hardened to
days and nights in the open-we say
think what 1t would mean II these
thousands Of crack shots were drafted
in the army and given a. chance to
crawl on their bellies thru the trenches
ard over io-uIans land IN quest of
Prussians to shoot instead of ducks.
Then when they came home, after the
boches had been driven to their holes
in masurian lakes, the fellows who had
broken real targets in the big war
could be awarded real championships.
Otherwise. what is all this waste Of
ammunition at trap shots for anyway.
II it isn't to fit men to serve their
country in such an hour of need as the
PRESENT.

lapse came to Russia and II would have
ended the war In victory for Germany
had not the United States stepped in.
To prevent such collapse in either Italy,
France or Germany has been the mill
tary problem Of the current year and
the United States has saved the day
with its food and the cheering Of its
khaki clad men.
The people. OF Hungary and Of Aus
tria, however. are starving. Many OF
the subject races have no heart In the
war and the time seems to be ripe
there for a crisis. With chaos and fear
and starvation at home the Austrian
armies can not be efficiently main
tanned and the morale OF their soldiers
can not be sustained when their families
are starving at home. The signs point
to Austria as the vulnerable point for
attack Without an Austrian army to
hold back the Italians it will be all up
with Germany
AS soon as there are men enough
from the United States In France to
make the western front safe the promise
is for another army being sent to italy
next year to help crush the Austrian
army and put Austria out of the war.
With Austria out the Salonica army
re enforced by Greeks will vanquish
the Turks and Bulgarians. Let Brazil
come on with million men to be made
into soldiers in our own environments.
Let there be an allied intervention in
Russia. Let there be an army sent to
Italy next year Let the march be
made to Vienna first and then to Ber-
lin.
