Over in the Machine Gun Company
they have been telling the story dur
ing the last few days of how two soil

The 10TH feels proud Of the fact
that it organized II push ball team
which could wallop the division. This
is what this team did last Monday az
ternoon, by the score of 2 to O.. That
evening some of the cleyerest rounds
witnessed on any boxing platform in
the camp were staged for the benefit
of the men, and not a few officers of
the regiment were on hand to enjoy
the game as thoroughly as the dough
boys.
The rough old sand storms Of Thurs
day afternoon, March 18th, hurting
dense clouds of sand into the faces of
the men at drill is not going to be for"
gotten in hurry. Every man who
was out felt like a fireman who had
been stocking an engine for a week and
hadn't washed during the entire time.
The South is a great old country for
all kinds of weather, ind sand stor1n
now and then refreshes memories Of
days back in Teas
The only regret about these Satur-
day reviews, with 10000 men or so
passing in splendid formation, is the
absence of the folks back home" If
they could see such a spectacle each |
week, they would acknowledge that |
the boys from the "old town" are real
soldiers now 1t is no secret that the |
officers are well pleased with the adj |
vancement and progress the men have
mad The 112th has reason to feel |
proud, too, of the front-line place it |
occupies, and the regiment has reached
point in the training where it be- !
leves it is surpassed by no other in.
fantry organization in the division.
Lots of trunks are being given hon
orable discharges and are being sent
home. But it's not because they have
been SCD-ed.
These are busy days for officers and
men alike-the officers who dreamed
the army game was place of pleasure
now and then, just dreamed; the rookie
who thought there was a time for work
and a time for play, has found there is
a great deal of time devoted to what
is called fatigue (but that little time
for what is termed play)
No basket ball team ever had a more
interested audience than the officers
who play volley ball each evening near
the Federal Buildng-as the postoffice
and second battalion mess shack is
being called. The young officers, and
the senior ones as we'll, are there on
tip-tie. and for q young, bowling eX-
cited crew, they're there" The game
lasts about fifteen minutes, seldom
longer, and the best part of it all is the
enjoyment the officers themselves get
from the contest.
The regimental telephone at last is
on a paying basis, and a nickel has
suddenly become the most precious and
priceless of all coin possessions-sup-
planting the popular doughboy cent.
1t won't be long now until the regi-
mental roster, containing the photos
OF every man in the 112th. are out and
on sale. The proofs were submitted
to the company commanders during
the past week by representative of
the concern. AMI corrections were
made. The printing and binding will
now go forward with a rush. 1t is
understood that the roster will sell for
So, and not few buck prvates have
ordered as many as half dozen copies.
There's a chance though for more or
ders to be sent in.
One of the cleverest talks that have
been delivered at the Y. M c. A. Build

that by Bernard Suttler on Friday
