TRENCH. POEMS.
Trench Mud.

Trench Mud. We have beard of Texas gumbo, And the mud in the Philippines, Where, if we had legs like Jumbo. |. The mud would cover our jeans, But never did we get a chance To feel real mud till we hit France Our shoes are deep in 1t,
 We often sleep in it,
 We almost weep in it-
 It's eyerywhere; :. We have to fight in it,
 And vent our spite in it.
 We look a sight in it.
 But we don't care! @''S The mud that lies in No Mans Land Is as thick on the other side. And where the Germans make thet1 stand Is where we'll make them sli4e',,' For our hob-nailed shoes will force . And veil veil knock them cold-for tn. Q. S. A.
 Though we must eat in 1t, >T Wash our feet in it, ..- >, Try to look neat in if, .-;
 This mud and slime;
 Though we get sore in 1t,
 Grumble and rear in 1t,
 We'll win the war in 1t B.
 In our good time! . Sgt. John J. Curtin. in The Stars and

has been this:
Most men have a rea-

Accuracy in tailoring
