Treat 'em Rough"
Many old army men are among
the applicants and being familiar
with almost every other branch of
the service want 10 join the tanks TO
find out what's new in the army.
Among this type OF men who are
applying is Frank X. Applegate Of
Muskogee, with three years service
in the Spanish-American war. He
has an excellent opportunity to enter
other branches OF the service with
good chance for an immediate COM
mission, but the tank service looks
better to him and he will enter as
private to take his chance with
the rest.
J. Garfield Buell. has rendered the
services OF his stenographer TO Ser

recruiting OF tankers. Sergeant
Northrop does not think the recruit
ing for this branch OF the service

DEAR GERTIE OLD PAL: / CUES l was
not feeling very well when l wrote you
last week that us solder boys was kind
of sore because girls back home did not
write US, and l CUES it musta been on
acct. the climite or something like that,
so you don't want to pay any attentun to
it at all. Everything is so different over
here in Franse Gertie that soldier who
has just came is hble to write something
like that once in awhile and he don't meme
it at all and the country is to blame for it.
So girls back home should ought not to
ever get mad when they get peeved let
ter from Franse but just blame it on the
war Sale Ter care, they say here In
Franse which means ats the damnible
war" or something like that, so l guess
you can forgive me for what l wrote when
1 was feeling kind of blue and all in.
You know Gertie that nothing is never
going to come between us and that when
this war is over and 1 get back to good
old USA maybe l will have something to
tell you that will be kind of interesting to
you. And Gertie American girls don't
want to ever feel jelous about these
Frensh girls over here in Franse.
You know you read a lot about pertty
Frensh wimmin wearing high heelt shoes
and silk stockings, &c, &c. Well the real
low down on that stuff is that if they is
any very pertty Frensh wimmin they is
kept in hiding some place as far as these
little towns is conserved anyway, and in
sted of high heelt slippers they wear
wooden shoes and insted of fine silk socks
some of them don't ware socks at all and
when they do ware some they are very

natif girl over here named Madamwosel
Madeleine and l CUES it is just about all
fixed up between l and she. Of course
l amt said nothing like that to her yet
but CUES Barney fello who has had the
EXPERIENCES wi wimmin like have can tell
how things are running without havin to
have it played on the fonograph for him.
I guess there amt no kinds of wimmin
that l don't know about Barney and
must say that Madeleine has got them all
looking like bunch of femail farm hands.
She is fairly good sized and has got fine
fgger and is the pertiest thing that you
ever saw.
CUES to that her old man has got big
farm outside of town and that she is the
only daughter, but of corse that don't
meme nothing at all to me Barney but l
must say that it would be kinda funny if
should be rube farmer in Franse after
all. Of corse would not never do any Of
the work Barney becaus l would hire a
cople of these wimmin around here to take
care Of the farm and would sit at home
and drink cognack and play with the kids,
eh Barney.
And being an American who had helpt
save Franse from the hunns 1 CUES l
would be elected mayer of the town or
something like that to start with and then
later on would go down to Washington,
! meme Paris and become a senitor or
something like that But of corse l have
not got real politikal ambituns but if they
wanted me to do something like that and
Madeleine would like to travel in that kind
of socity l would be willing to do it for
her. Am 1 right Barney.
CUES she has got some natif fello who
is in the Frensh army who used to be
pertty strong with her befor come along,
but l should worry about one frog eater
like that eh Barney. ! would like to catch
that bird fooling around Medicine and 1
would bet you five bucks in good old q.
Sam money against two of these copper
peeces over here that l would run that
bird clean back to his trenshes and maybe
right out into No Mems Land. ANY Frog
gle like that would certainly be pie for me,
Barney.
Madeleine has got fine Belgin dog that
been teasing her to give me for com
pany maskot and CUES maybe she will do
it to after awhile. This dogs name is Jac-
quey which is Frensh for Jack and he and
are great pals. You don't see me over

BARNEY: Well l CUES tonite is going to
be the big night Barney becaus l got
date with Madeleine and l CUES we will
fix up everything tonite. don't know
yet whether l will have her lern me how
to ask her old man in Frensh or whether
l will just have her brake the news to him
herself. l amt never seen him yet but I
know her mother and l CUES she thinks l
am all the raspberry.
OF corse 1 feel kind of sorry for Gerty
but it is all her own falt and if she had
treted me right and wrote me letters like
she certainly should ought to have done
then would never have thot about even
talking to these Frensh girls. But when
fello is three or four thousand miles away
from home across the briney deep and
don't get no word at all and don't know
whether his girl had run away with

he is a bone head if he don't make some
