has been placed in a wrong light by
some unknown masqueradinE under

that George is a lieutenant in the
Chemical Warfare section OF the

Mike Flynn and company down at
Camp Humphreys and praying night
and day that the war won't end be-

Huns.
Before George reported for duty.
a player was performing with a ship

Sisler. Furthermore. George was
said to have declined a commission
because he would have to pay foe

got busy. They hammered Sisler to
beat the band. They played tunes
on his anatomy.
And then George heard OF II and
issued a statement on the eve OF ra-
porting at Camp Humphreys where
he is now. He denied ever playing
with a shipyard team and rightly
scorned to reply to the second IT.
