Prudence's first suspicion of Ahce's lack

BUTTONS AND BRAVERY; POLISH AND PUNCH

If you swear under your breath as
you get ready for inspection, and if
you ask your pal what soldiers pol
ish has to do with his fighting punch,
be so good as to remember how Brit
ish buttons contributed to British
bravery.
What have buttons to do with
bravery
More than you think.
For on that desperate retreat from
Mons, when the British had to fight
and fall back and fight to the last
breath of the stoutest old Tommy, the
officers said, Whats the use of max
ing the poor devils polish their but
tons and burnish their equipment?
They get little enough rest; give them
what they earn"
So they told the boys that the rou-
tine was suspended until further or
ders and that they need not polish
their buttons any more. Tommy. is
like every other soldier, and when his
captain told him he might leave this
of, Tommy reasoned that shoes were
no more important than buttons, c.
equipment than shoes, or face than
equipment, So he let his beard grow
and his equipment get dull. He did
not fight with the mud on his boots
or give thought to those blasted
buttons of his. Naturally enough, it

CONSCIENTIOUS EJECroR"

A good story is told by Sir Auck-
land Geddes concerning an interior
ing public house loafer and a Cana
dian soldier who bore on his shout
der straps the initials sc. E." which
stand for Canadian Engineer,
The soldier, his face a study in
concentrated wrathfulness, had the
civilian by the scruff Of the neck and
was apparently just on the point of
giving him thrashing when a be-
lated policeman put in an appear
ance.
Now, then, what's all this about?'
demanded the constable.
Whats it about?' replied the Ca
madam, giving the wretched loafer
an extra shake to emphasize his
words. why, he called me q con-
scientious ejector. Now watch him
being elected"

WANTED MONEY DIRECT


A Russian peasant in German
prison camp, having heard that APP
peals for assistance we're being an
swered, decided to write letter and
ask for money with which to buy
food and clothing. Not knowing to
whom else to appeal. he wrote let
ter to God, asking for one hundred
marks.
His letter attracted attention at
the censor's ONCE and was referred
to the War Ministry. The officers
there collected twenty-five marks
and sent them to the Russian pris-
oneE. thinking they had thereby done
good turn. The prisoner, however.
was not we'll satisfied, as was ap-
parent from his reply in which he
thanked God for the twenty-five
marks but cautioned Him to send
future money direct rather than
through the War Ministry, saying
that the rascally officials there had
kept seventy-flve marks and had sent
him only twenty-five.

hill" you get as morbid as, though you
belonged to the grave-diggerss detail,
and after you have been morbid long
enough, you either go crazy or become
hardened.
Viewed from the other side, the
good huEnor of the men is a positive
asset to the army. There never was
but one victorious army that never
smiled, and that army was Cromwell's.
Every other boEy of fighting men that
won a place in history knew how to
smile, how to laugh and how to make
the very best of the hardships that
came. What helps the army helps the
men who make it up. All things be-
ing even, the man who knows how to
smile is better soldier than the man
whose face is like crepe on door
knob. The mess that jokes is seldom
a mess that suiks.
And what is the reason for ali this?
Just the plain conmon-sense maxim
that the man who finds life worth liv-
ing will fight harder to live.

LAUGH, BLAST YOU, LAuGHl

Some of the kill-joys who come to
visit the camps as if they were visiting
a menagerie seem to think there is
something sinfully shameful in the
jokes of the boys. According to the
shocked appearance of these worthless,
the moment man puts on a uniform,
he ought to be as solenn as on in
spection; and as for a joke, what right
has man who is going to scent pow
der to let himself smile. There's a
funeral ahead, they argue: prepare for
it now.
We of the camps should like for a
few OF these nortals to spend q few
days in any camp and not laugh--not
because there is anything peculiarly
amusing about sentry-go in the snow,
but because If you do not laugh you
are apt to forget how. This "grirn
business of wal" as they call It in
Congress, is like. any other business
If you look at one side of it all the
time. you grow stale. If you keep
thinking about the Crosses on the

was not many days before Tommy re-
sernbled q hobo so closely that he
could not have identified himself in a
mirror. And when one Tommy saw
the earmarks of the bum" on his pal;
he decided that something had hap
percd to him and that his pal had lost
his punch. Consequently, when Tom
my had to sustain the next charge of
the Germans, he argued there was 10
use standing if the other man intended
to run. He beat him to it-and that
meant threatened disaster.
At length the amazed officers saw
the connection between button and
bravery. They traced back the changed
psychology of Tommy and they de-
tern1ined that no Tommy thereafter
should ever lose heart because his
mess-mates looked like cut-throats:
Back to polishing his buttons went
Tommy and back with the polish on
the buttons came Tomny's old-time
punch. -.
That is why he is polishing still, no
matter whether he is in biilets or
lodging German grcnadcs. And that
is why Tomrny's cousin is polishing,
too. A uniform does not make a
soldier and polished buttons do not
win bar or medal; but the soldier
who looks fit feels fit, and when he
feels fit he is fit to fightl

WOULD SUIT EXPLORER

Hearing that Captain RoIad
Amundsen, the polar explorer, had
visited the American sector on the
western battlefront in Europe, many
of the soldiers in training camps in
this country remarked that "He
would have felt more at home here. I"
In one OF the camps in wisconsin the
temperature recorded one morning
was forty-two degrees below zero.
In other words, the mercury shriv-
elled up like the Kaisers hopes of
Germanizing the world.
