How I envied him. But when the issue

How I envied him. But when the issue
commenced my envy died. and I real
lied that the first requisite Of non.
commissioned officer on active service
Is diplomacy. There were 10 men In
our section, and they soon formed a
semicircle around us after the corporal
had called out. "Ratlons up"
The quartermaster sergeant had
given a slip to the corporal on which
was written list Of the rations. Sit.
ting on the floor, using a wooden box
as a table, the issue commenced. On
the left Of the corporal the rations
were piled. They consisted Of the fol.
lowing:
Six loaves Of fresh bread, each loaf
Of different size. perhaps one out Of
the six being as fiat as a pancake, the
result of an army service corps man
placing box Of bully beef on 1t dur
ing transportation.
Three tins Of jam, one apple and the
other two plum.
Seventeen Bermuda onions, all dif.
ferent sizes. ..
A piece Of cheese In the shape Of a
wedge.
Two one-pound tins Of butter.
A handful Of raisins.
A tin of biscuits. or as Tommy calls
them "jaw breakers"
A bottle Of mustard pickles.
The "bully beef spuds, condensed
milk, fresh meat, bacon and "Macono-
chic rations" "a can filled with meat,
vegetables and greasy water), had been
turned over to the company cook to
make a stew for next days dinner. He
also received the tea, sugar, salt, pep
per and flour.
Scratching his head, the corporal
studied the slip issued to him BY the
quarter. Then in a slow, mysified
voice he read out, mo. section, II
men. Bread, loaves, six" He looked
puzzled aud soliloqulzed in a musine
voice:
"Six loaves. nineteen men. Let's see
that's three In a loaf for fifteen men-
well, to make 1t even, four Of youll
have to muck in on one loaf"
The four that got stuck made howl,
but to no avail. The bread was dished
out. Pretty soon from far corner OF
the billet, three indignant Tommles ac-
costed the corporal with:
"What do you call this, loaf of
bread? Looks more like snlplng
plate"
The corporal answered:
"Well, don't blame me, didn't bake
It; somebody's got to get it, so shut
up until I dish out these bllnkin' ra'
tions."
Then the corporal started on the
jam.
"Jam, three tins-apple one, plum
two. Nineteen men, three tins. Six
In q tin makes twelve men for two tins
seven In the remaining tin"
He passed around the jam, and
there was another riot. Some didn't
like apple, while others who received
plum were partial to apple. After
while differences were adjusted and
the issue went on.

The corporal avoided row by say
ing that he did not want an onion, and
I said they make your breath smell, SC
I guessed I would do without one too
The corporal looked his gratitude.
