Very early in April 1917, when
the American Dogs of War were
sunleashed to whip the Hated
Hun, 1t SO happened that we left
the student table and hurried
away to have part in the fray.
In going, we parted from buddy"

implies. We were not to see each
ether again until some eighteen
months had transpired, and then

Romance has entered the mess hall
OF the 14th Company.
Mess Sergeant Joe Rodgers is the
hero but the fair heroine's name IS
still n secret
Rodgers, on a trip to town recently
lost his courtesy card. This sad catas
trophe left him in distressed state Of
mind for a number Of days
A few days ago he rece we'd a letter
addressed in fair feminine hand The
cooks paid no attention to the epistle
thinking it but another message from
the widow in Brooklyn. But 81 few sec
onds after readin it. Rogers dashed
exc.tcdly into the IN DIST of the cooks
waving the letter in one hand and the
envelope in the other.
She found IL and she wants me to
call" shouted Rogers.
She found what and wants Won to
call her WHAT" questioned Jim Room
ely
My courtesy card Shall I got"
The cooks gathered around and read
with amazement the letter which Rog-
ers had received, and sure enough, St
was a nice little note from a miss in
Augusta who had found the lost cOur-
tesy card and had invited Mr.. Rogers
to call on her
Nobody knows when Rogers paid the
call It is rumored that the lady's
complexion was not as fair as might
have been supposed from the letter
and that this is the reason for Rog-
er's reticence in regard to the matter
At any rate, none Of the boys are
losing their courtesy cards in hopes Of
having them found by fair ladies' OF
