We have got to reach the place.
each one of u.s. where we define
every decision in our lives as an
act of war policy. Everything
we do, plan, eat, wear, must be
analysed and measured from
one single point of view-will it
contribute to the carrying on OF
the war. or will it contribute to
its prolongation. There is no
other thing in the world for us
; but to define everything in our
lives as acts OF military neces-
sity of policy Alonzo Tay-

cart) appeared, the sergeant would
arise from his death bed'' and steai
food while the backs of the nurses
were turned After a while the doc
tors listened to his urgent request for
Irregular meals" and cancelled the or
der that he was to have liquid diet
pending his stay in the hospital. Ser
geant Kelly is still at the hospital
where he is now working as hospital
orderly. He is eating as much as they
will give him and whenever possible
sneaking "extras," which he hides be-
meath his pillow.
Rittow and the other men in ward
238 have developed real appetites
from watching him eat and listening
to his jokes. They know as well as
does the sergeant that any chance ac-
cident may dislodge the bit of shrap-
mel that lies beneath his heart, but as
long as he can shake his fist at death
and laugh at his troubles, they laugh
with him. He spins yarns by the hour
Of his experiences in the Philippines,
on the Mexican border and in France,
where he has served IL months now.
And when he runs out of breath, Rift
tow catches the ball and tells his story
of service as "liaison" messenger be-
tween French and American troops
who took Fere-en-TardenOis.
Took Wrong Turn.
He trained at Camp Mills with an
other group of men from New YORK
city, coming to France last October
His company was sent to several diff
ferent fronts in France, and by odd
coincidence every time that they were
relieved the company which replaced
them suffered heavy casualties from
attacks, raids or bombardments. Final
ly came the day when they were re-
called from the Champagne front ana
sent in to support the division that had
pressed on beyond Chateau Thierry IN
the early days of the July offensive.
The day he was wounded he had gone
back and forth for II hours between
French and American field headquar-
ters, carrying important messages. lie
had just started off on another trip
when a chance turn to the right IN
stead of to the left, as he had been
gong, put him in the path of flying
shrapnel that wounded him in the left
thigh and below the knee.
ooh, the legs all right" he sings
out cheerfully. "But I sure would
have been gone if it hadn't been for
the sergeant there. I couldn't make
myself eat when they brought me here
nerves, the doctor said. Then
used to watch the sergeant sneaking
out of bed when he was supposed to
be dying and swiping food from the
joy cart. 1t tickled me so to watch
him that I began to get hungry

He was carried into field hospital
and later sent into Hospital No. L.
The leg wounds are healing rapidly,
but the right forearm is still partially
paralyzed.
But what's an arm as long as I'm
getting plenty to eat" says Corporal
He'll. 'There were three days during
the fighting up at the front when
missed out on rations, and another a
hours that was lying out on the field.
Guess never will get enough to make
up for missing all those meals. But
they do sure treat us fine here. Plen-
ty of good food, good looking nurse
and Red Cross chaplain that comes
around every day with cigarettes"
"All right for you to talk" grum-
bles Webb La Pointe of Sheboygan,
Wis.,, from another bed, 'but what do
you think about me? Laid up here like
an invalid and I've never gotten d
crack at Boche."
La Pointe is in machine gun COM
pany of one Of the divisions that dis
tinguished itself in the fighting nea-
Compeigne. He had just started over
the top early one morning carrying the
tripod of a gun when "soup wagon"
came along and knocked him down.
He was hit in the knee and elbow and
now he is in the hospital grumbling,
not because he is done up in yards Of
bandages and painful apparatus that
holds his injured leg straight, but be-
cause it will be some time before he
gets back front again for ''crack at
a Boche."
David Rittow of New York city is
another convalescent Of No. 1 who en-
joys the food and the Red Cross
cigarettes. He had several days on
timed ratiOns when he was brought
in from the field and was losing his
strength because he refused to eat.
In thefbed next him was sergeant of
the regular army who had been
brought in to die because a piece of
shrapnel had lodged so close beneath
his heart that an operation to remove
it was impossible.
Steals Food From "Joy Cart"
The sergeant, rejoicing in the name
Of Kelly and coming from the town OF
st. Joseph, Mich refused to accept the
verdict that he must die and dine on
liquid rations. Whenever the "joy

wealthy of Europe, but now conducted
by the American Y. M. G. A. for our

civilian garb wistfully watched the
doughbOys carOming the ivory balls.
He would have liked to play little
billiards himself, but the doughboys
from overseas had priority and he was

OF the casino, but only insofar as it
did not interfere with the soldiers

Soak the Dukes.
The movies in the big hall are free
to all and well attended. In the ca
sinO's big theater vaudeville is pur-
veyed at two scales of prices. In the
front row recently a duke sat next to
an American sergeant. The duke paid
ten francs for his seat, the sergeant
paid two francs. 1t was five times as
advantageous to be an American sol.
der as to be duke. The Y. NJ. G. A.
arranged that.
