Easier to Get In
han to Get Out
OF Soldier Jail

The story is going the rounds Of a
Camp Lewis soldier who found himself
IN the guardhonse. although he had
committed no offense that had come to
the attention OF his superiors.
This soldier. who may be called
Private Blank for convenience, had a
chuin In the guardhouse. He wished
to talk to his friend. no watching his
opportunity, Private Blank approached
the guard on duty and arranged to 60
inside and talk To HIS friend. His idea
was that through the kind offices Of
the guard he would go IN. talk to HIS
friend. come out and none of the supe-
rior officers wohld be the wiser.
The plan worked beautifully until
Private Blank started out Of the guard
house after having had his talk with
his friend. Something entirely unex-
pected had happencd-there had been a
change in guards md the new guard
on duty. it seemed, had no knowledge
Of the arrangement that had been made.
Private Blank attempted to explain.
but did not succeed. The ultimatum OF
the new guard was that Private Blank
should get back into the guardhouse.
And that was only the beginning OF
Private Blanks troubles. For ten
long days he tried In vain time and
again to explain that 1t was all a mis- :
take, and that there was no reason
why ne should he In the gnardhousc.
II seems that when the prisoners In
the gnardhousc are lined up at regular
times for roll Gull or for other pur-
poses. they are not under restraint Of
strict discipline. Such prisoners are not
permitted To salute officers. the right
10 salute an officer being regarded as
an honor possessed only by the soldier
who does not violate military regula
tions, II seems also that when such
prisoners are lined up they sometimes
engage IN running conversation with
one another and engage In other
"horseplay" which would not be permit
ted.
So when the prisoners were lined up
Private Blank among them. he would
yell out to the noncom or whoever was
In charge:
Say. this lis a mistake. l got no busi-
ness In this guardhouse. Just let me

lie usually did not get any further
than this, because the other prisoners
would then Jump on him.
