HUMOROUS SALES
FROM French FRONT
Lieut.. Sloan, s1st F. A., Gets Funny
Letter From His Brother
With Pershing.

That the American soldier Is a joke
smith even in the midst Of trying con-
ditions at the front is borne out by
the receipt of letter by Lieut.. L. w.
Sloan, personnel adjutant of the 31st
F. A., from his brother. who Is a regi-
mental sergeant major with the 1st
Artillery Brigade in France.
The mother of Lieut.. Sloan is Mrs.
c. J. Sloan Of Philadelphia. In fact, it
was she who received the letter. which
contained also number of cartoons
by soldiers, which told of the Fourth
Of July celebration. where ball games
and field SPORTS were staged while
boche shells sped by.
Illustrative of the kind of humor in
dulged in by one ''redcord' the SER
geant major quotes the following
verses. which were sent to the SOL
dier's commanding general who was
much amused to read them:
The Verse
There are empties in the gunpits. but the
generals comm round
shine the s Sp al y rsTnp pieces for to beat
4ou must be good at shootin' and know where
And still your guns be shinin' and have beauty
In the pit.
You must be long at shootin' and never scare
doughs,
For If you DO. my ladies. you'n live life of
30 shine up all your little guns, ana work and
shoot and sweat,
And then you'll get the generals smile. and
that IL all you'll get.
Another lad OF a poetic nature fur
nished the sergeant major with the
following choice bit which happened in
the regiment of O colonel who was
said to be heavy" on grooming:
was grasing last night, grased the night
I'm conner Craze tonight If j never Craze no
more, -
For whenI'm grain I'm as happy as a dough,
Cause all the other time have 10 groom the
old chevaux;
Glorious glorious, one field Of grass for the
bunch OF us,
Glory be to God that they are not elephants
Or we couldn't get 'em fed in time to groom.
One of the cartoons sent on from the
brigade observer was by a boy named
butler, who drew a sleeping soldier in
the Ntrenches. Beside him was an
other doughboy, who was standing in
the trench SO that German bullets
were bouncing Off his helmet. Final
~ the sleeping soldier was disturbed
and he cried out:
Duck your head, Bill; can't sleep
with that bell ringing"

Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1918-11-21

The cartoons that have been APP
pearing ip Trench and Camp OF late
have been arousing considerable in
terest. Most Of them have been ex-
yecuted by Clifford B. Lee, 18th COM
pany. bath Depot Brigade. who is
an artist Of no mean ability. Before
coming to camp Lee was a COM
mercial artist in his home city. Cam
den, N. J. He was gaining recogni-
ton as being exceptionally clever in
his line He has the good fortune to
have done quite a bit of work for
several national advertisers.
Among his drawings that have been
done in camp are several that have
been presented to the Red Cross
building at the Hostess House and
to Y. M. G. A. &C. These were along
patriotic lines and gave evidence of
much originality on lies part.
Not only is Lee a clever artist, but
he is piano player Of ability. He
has been of material assistance at
&C hut In running many social pro-
anything he could to help keep the
boys in happy frame of mind. He
has many friends in camp who will
regret his departure when the time
comes for the demobilizing of his
company. It's a. certainty that his
friends will wish him all kinds of
luck when he bids adieu to camp.
Here's one that several of the boys
at &C "Y" have been chuckling over
lately: A rookie on guard duty for
the first time was paid the usual visit
by the Q. D.
Q. DIDO you know your general
'orders?
Rookie--Nope.
o. D.--What are your special or
ders?
Rookie-Haven't any.
0. do you mean to stand there
and tell me the sentry you relieved
did not tell you anything?
Rookie-Oh, yes. He said: watch
out for the o. d. He's a erab.'
