said Il was big happy family, and
so II Is, but as In all happy families.
there are servants, so In the British
army there are also servants, officers
servants, or 20. s." as they are termed.
In the American army the common
name for them Is dog robbers" From
a controversy in the English papers,
Winston Churchill made the state
ment, as far as | can remember, that
the officers servants In the British
forces totaled nearly two hundred
thousand. He claimed that this re.
moved two hundred thousand excep.
tionally good and well.trained fighters
from the actual firing line, claiming
that the officers when selecting n man
for servants duty, generally picked the
man who had been out the longest and
knew the ropes.
But from my observation find that
a large percentage of the servants do
go over the top, but behind the lines
they very seldom engage In digging
parties, fatigues, parades or drills.
This work Is as necessary as actually
engaging in an attack, therefore | think
II would be safe TO say that the all
round work Of the two hundred thou.
sand Is about equal TO fifty thousand
men who are on straight military du
ties. In numerous instances. officers
servants hold the rank Of lance-corpo-
rails and they assume the same duties
and authority of butler, the one
stripe giving him precedence over the
other servants.
There are lots Of amusing stories
told Of 90 s."
one day one Of our majors went into |
the servants billet and commenced
binding AZ them, saying that his
horse had no straw and that he per.
sonally knew that straw had been is
sued for This purpose He called the
lancccorporal to account The cor.
poral answered, "Blime me, sir, the
straw was issued, but there wasn't
enough left over from the servants
beds; in fact, we had to use some of
the 'ay 10 clip out sir"
1t is needless 10 say that the sery.
ants dispensed with their soft beds
that particular night.
Nevertheless II is not the fault OF
the individual officer. II Is just the sur.
yiyal of a quaint old English custom
You know an EngliShman cannot be
changed In day.
But the average English officer is a
good sport. He Will sit on ii fire step
and listen respectfully TO Private
Jones theory OF the way the war
should be conducted. This war is
crumbling the once insur.
wall Of caste.
You would be convinced OF this IL
you could see King George 90 among
his men on an inspecting tour under
fire, or pause before little wooden
cross In some Shell-tossed field with

The Overseas cap" now being Is
sued to soldiers In the eXpedtionnry
forces matches the uniform in color,
has very low crown, and has no brlm
or peak. II Is so made that ii may b.
folded and carried in pocket.
When American forces entered the
trenches II was found that the brims
OF their campaign hats nterfered with
sighting through trench periscopes and
that In the cases of tail men the high
crowns could be seen above the para.
pets, The new cap Is SO low that II
permits the men to move with prac-
tically the same freedom as when they
ARE hntless. The trench helmet can
be worn over 1t.
Only soldiers who have been with
the expedtionary forces wear the cap.
According to reports from France new
regulations provide that officers shall
wear their insignia Of rank on the cap,

prescribed to be worn on the left side
OF the coilur of the service coat.
