1t Helps to Poke Fun
L At Your Tragedy

To the thousands and thousands of
mothers and fathers and wives in
America Lieutenant Dawson makes the
statement that the men are actually
light-hearted in the trenches. Courage,
as 1 had thought Of it, was grim affair
of teeth set, sad eyes and clenched
hands," But this isn't so. "1f you can
stand aside from yourself and poke fun
at your own tragedy-and tragedy al
ways has it's humorous aspect - that
helps" And read this:
"The last thing you hear anybody sing
ing out there is something patriotic; the
last thing you find anybody reading is
Rupert Brooke's poems. When men sing
among the she'll holes, they prefer song
that belittles their own heroism Please
picture to yourself a company Of mud
stained scarecrows in steel helmets, plod-
ding their way under intermittent Smelling
through battered trench, whistling and
humming the following splendid sentiments
from THE Plea Of the Conscientious OBJ

us the rank and file,
Send as the grand old Te,vitorials,

Where are the boys of the old Bril-

free?
You may send my mother, my Sis

"a shell falls near them-then another,
then another They crouch for a minute
against the sticky walls to escape the fly-
ing spray. It's quite likely they'll have
bad time o-night-there's smell of gas
in the air"
Think of such d little thing as "spit
and polish" contributing to the winning
of great campaign! "Directly we pull
out for a rest we set to work furnishing
and washing. There's lot in it. The
man who has his buttons shining bright
ly and his leather polished is usually the
man who is brightly polished inside If
he doesn't keep clean in his body he
wort keep clean in his mind"
Yet they are only ordinary boys, these
Of whom heroes are made. "All these
men, whether they're capturing Hun
dugouts at the front or taking prisoner
their own despair in English hospitals,
are perfectly ordinary and normal. Be-
fore the war they were shop assistants,
cab drivers, plumbers, lawyers, vaude-
Vile artists. They were men of no he
roic training. =. Something has
happened to them since they marched
away in khaki-something has changed
them"
For the better, says Coningsby Dawson.
Before enlisting 81 had considered my
self in the light of a philanthropist who
might come to the help of the Allies and
might not. Now all asked was to be
considered worthy to do my infinitesimal
bit The great thing about the
war is its spiritual gains The
worst thing you can say of man at the
front is: He doesn't play the game
That doesn't of necessity mean that he
fails to do his duty. What it means is
that he fails to do little bit more than

Pershing in many shops and some had

the French to take America to their hearts
that they even made desperate efforts to
acquire working knowledge of baseball.
'EXcelslor,' an illustrated French daily, car
ried an action picture taken during a game
played between American ambulance drivers
just outside OF Paris. The picture was en-
titled: "A player goes to catch the ball,
which has been missed by the catcher and
underneath ran the following explanation:
we have given in our number of yesterday
the rules of baseball, the American national
game, of which a game, which is perhaps
the first ever played in France, took place
yesterday at Colonies between the soldiers
of the American ambulances. Here is an
aspect of the game. The pitcher, or
thrower of balls, whom one sees in the dis
lance, has sent the ball. The catcher, or
"attrapeur," who should restrike the ball
with his wooden club, has missed it, and a
player placed behind him has seized it in its
flight"
The theatres, declares Mr.. Broun, gave
the Americans almost as much recogni-
ton as the press.
"The theatres gave the Americans almost
as much recognition as the press. No ru-
steal show was complete without an Ameri-
can finale and each soubrette learned a lit

like that, to please the doughboys. The
vaudeville shows, such as those provided at
the Olympia or the Alhambra gave an even
greater proportion Of English speech The
Alhambra was filled with Tommes and
doughboys on the night l went. Now and
again the comedians had lapses of language
and the Americans were forced to let jokes
go tipping by without response. 1t was
pity, too for they were good jokes even if
French. Presently, however, fat comedian
fell off a ladder and laughter became gen.
eral and international. The show was more
richly endowed with actresses than actors.

he urges amendment of the draft law
