Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1918-08-21


left for Washington Sunday for course
in personnel work and the entire onlce
wishes good old Cheroots Dudley the pest
OF luck. A good man for good work.
The office has been enlarged to the ex-
tent of five new men, and II IS our earn
est wish that the night work be elinli-
mated.
Have YOU noticed how quiet the office
is since Louie Loeb went on his furlough ?
We are wondering whether ne TOOK MS
pet skunk with him,
1t would be just like Louie to set New
York wild with a new fad, such as carry
ing a live skunk around as a pet. The
only fault we can find with 1t is that
slkunks are pretty hard to stand for and
only a strong constitution like Louies
can live through the smell.
A boxer has invaded the office and it
is hard for Eolis to tell Dick Howell to
do good job. Fear not, Alex, we are
right behind you.
Have you noticed Teddy Troops cute
little fat brother2 The only difference
quiet, while gag wouldn't shut the other
gink up.
The men in the office are very sorry to
hear that Captain Strutz is i'll and they
are all waiting for the return OF the Cap
tain in good health.
The long and short OF it in the Person
mel Office are Yodel Dodeison and Char
coal Laiken. Mutt and JEFF have nothing
on this pair. IL Is our ambition 70 take
picture Of them while they are holding 3
conversation.
Why doesn't Lieut., Brostrum take 3 day
on once in a while? You know the old
tenant
Johnny Reiss has at last reached the
height of his ambition. He is now acting
chief in charge OF the information desk
and II he makes as much noise as Louie
Loeb does we are going to recommend
him for the position Of chief train an
nouncer.
Yodel Dodelson's' brother-in-law sent
him q little poem and we are Offering It
for your approval;
Y--is for Yankee, that you'll always be;
O--stands for Order. that Uncle Sam will
put in Germany;
DIS for Democracy" that's what we're
For Every Mothers Son." who has
been called to war;
flor Liberty" so grand that every
Yankee takes his stand
D--for DUTY always, as 1 have said be-
fore.
O--for Opportunity" that knocks once
D-this time means death to the Hun;
E--the everlasting love OF each and every
L-for Liberty" so grand, that we ex-
tend helping hand;
Stands for the "Stars and Stripes"
that always fly so high;
O-for Onward Yankees" ready 20 do
or die;
N-Means mo Mans Land" where the
good aimed Yankee shot and shell
Win send each dirty hun to Hell
We would suggest that Eolts move his
cot into the office and in this way he
could save the time he losses by walking
to his tent,
our noble orderlies no more ride the
trusty steed since they were issued bicy-
cles. Johnny Reiss swears that it is
the best substitution for a Turkish bath.
We saw you riding to the r. r, D., John
nv and you looked Ike a young Niagara
with all that perspration coming from
you.
Nit Fine suggests that no one smokes
hts special brand because he has a hard
time getting them. All right, Mint, we
viii give YOU all we pick up while po-
Icing in the morning
Speaking about ut-spearing. have you
noticed haw rapidly the boys are coming
out. Fine has to call a camoufage roll
call In order to get even a handful out
We would suggest Offering one Of your
cigars for prize to The first man out and
then there would be competition.
We wondered Tor while who Jimmie's
father could be until we were introduced
to Joe Canter and then we asked for an
Introduction to the model Of the comic
paper series
We always wondered what could be
taking our Irving Maschatsky to town
every night until we noticed him near a
certain millinery story on Broad street
Pretty swell, say we,
It has been suggested that the ceiling
above Lieut.. Bryan he washed off because
it is very annoying 10 have il fan on
ones clothes.
