Out the guard! Do you understand"
said the officer of the day.
Eyes, sir" said the sentry.
The sentry walked back and forth
and waited for three o'clock. The
clock in the village church showed
3, then $3.50, then 4, then Ais,
and the sentry was wondering whether
he could coax the cook into seconds"
on the helpings of jam that night.
Around the corner whirled an auto
mobile, came to a sudden stop and IN
alert officer stepped out. The sentry
saluted, for he was a stickler for sa-
luting. He stood rigid as the officer
with a quick glance around stepped
over to him.
"Where is the guard?" he asked.
"The guard?" echoed the sentry,
who had never before spoken to such
a high ranking officer.
1.-THE guard?" he repeated as visions
of jam faded before the realities of
stars which he glimpsed IN the wind
shield.
"The guard. sir" he exclaimed.
"Oh, yes, sir. You're the officer who
was going to be here at three o'clock !"

Every person who has written ten

commented on it's polyglot complexion,

American sector northwest of Toul.
Earlier in the evening there had been
a brush with the enemy, machine guns
still were popping and everybody was
straining his eyes out over No Mans
Land hoping for some shadowy form
to shoot at. The officer was almost
upon a soldier before the latter turned
and mildly whispered "Halt!"
Keep a watch here and don't let
anybody get as close as | am before
you halt him." said the officer. "a
Hun might have your rifle before you

"Where did you come FROM" asked
the officer.
"San Francisco, sir" replied the sol

you live?" the officer queried.
BY this time the man was at his
ease and launched into a description of
the surroundings of Golden Gate ave

"And what was your business
there?" asked the other native son.

the soldier.

his three S's"-sword, spurs and sa-
iutes. An older officers arm usually
aches with years of saluting and he
Is not looking for them. However, it
often happens that a soldier who can
recognize a major q block away has
such poor eyesight that he does not
see a lieutenant when he passes him
on the street.
But all these petty evasions of dis
cipline vanish when the soldier is on
duty. There he is away from the
hurly-burly of the street and all is
strict business. officers are fewer and
he salutes them all. If he is on guard
he clicks his heels together and brings
his rifle to attention, holding 1t there
until the salute Is acknowledged. In
ci%dentally the saluting requirement is
not all on one side. If an officer fails
TO return a soldiers salute the latter
has a right to call his attention TO
the oversight and regulations require
that the officer retrace his steps and
give the salute.
A well-meaning soldier, inclined to
be absent-minded about saluting, al
on guard in front of a regimental head
quarters one day. The officer of the
day, particularly anxious to have a
trim, military appearance, gave him a
personal warning.
"Now don't let anybody get past you
without saluting them," said the Off
Ger.
The soldier paced back and forth
saluting occasionally. Suddenly he no.
ticed that the colonel had walked past
him. He had not saluted.
Here, here, wait a minute" shout
ed the excited soldier.
The surprised colonel turned
around. His thoughts had been on so
many other things hat he had not
noticed the sentry, much less the fail
ure to salute. Nervously the dough
boy clicked his heels together,
brought the rifle to an exact perpendic-
ular in front Of bis nose and completed
his idea G1 his duty by dismissing the
amazed colonel with:
