More than once in q hospital 1 have
seen titled Red Cross nurse fetching
and carrying for q wounded soldier,
, perhaps the one who in civil life de-
livered the coal at her back door. To-
day she does not shrink from lighting
his fag or even washing his grimy

Tommy admires Albert of Belgium be-
cause he is not pusher of men; he

1t is amusing to notice the different
characteristics of the Irish, Scotch and
English soldiers. The Irish and Scotch
are very impetuOus, especially when it
comes to bayonet fighting, while the
Englishman, though a trifie. slower,
thoroughly does his bit; he is more
methodical and has the grip of bull
dog ON captured position. He is
slower to think that is the reason why
ne never knows when he is licked.
Twenty minutes before going over
the top the English Tommy will sit on
the fire step and thoroughly examine
the mechanism of his rifle to see that it
is in working order and will fire prop
erly. After this examination he is sat
1sf1ed and ready to meet the BOches
But the Irishman or ScOtchman sits
on the fire step, his rifle with bayOnet
fixed between his knees, the butt OF
which perhaps is sinking into the mud
the bolt couldn't be opened with a
team Of horses it is so ruSty-but he
splits on his sleeve and slowly polishes
his bayOnet; when this is done he also
is ready to argue with Fritz.
1t is not necessary to mention the
colOnials (the Canadians, Australians
and New Zealanders), the whole world
knows what they have done for Eng
land.
The Australian and New Zealander
is termed the "Anzac," taking the
name from the first letters of their of
fetal designation, Australian and New
Zealand army corps.
Tommy divides the German army
into three classes according to their
fighting abilities. They rank as fol-
lows: Prussians, Bavarians and Sax
Ons

/ spent a week trying to teach some
Of the Tommies how to play poker, but
because I won thirty-fve francs they
declared that they didn't ''fawncy" the
game.
Tommy plays few card games; the
general run never heard of poker, eu-
chre, seven up, or pinOchle. They have
game similar to pinOchle called
''ROyal BeZique," but few know how to
play it.
Generally there are two decks of
cards in q section, and in q short time
they are so dOg-eared and greasy, you
can hardly tell the ace Of spades from
the ace of hearts. The owners of these
decks sometimes condescend to lend
them after much coaXing.
SO you see, MIR. Atkins has his fun
mixed in with his hardships and, con.
trary to popular belief, the rank and
file of the British army in the trenches
is one big happy family. Now in Vir-
GINA, at school, was fed on old Nc
Guffy's primary reader, which gave me
an opinion of an Englishman about
equal to '76 Minute Mans backed up
by Sim Feiner's. But found Tom
my to be the best Of mates and q gem
tleman through and through. He never
thinks Of knocking his officers. If one
makes costly mistake and Tommy
pays with his blood, there is no gen.
eral condemnation of the officer. He
is just pitied. 1t is exactly the same
as it was with the Light Brigade at
Balaclava, to say nothing of Gallipoli,
Neuve Chapelle and Loos. Personally
I remember a little incident where
twenty Of US were sent on trench
raid, only two of us returning, but /
will tell this story later ON.
L said it was big happy family, and
so it is, but as in all happy families,
there are servants, so in the British
army there are also servants, officers
servants, or 90. S." as they are termed.
In the American army the common
name for them is "dOg robbers" From
controversy in the English papers,
Winston Churchill made the state
ment, as far as I can remember, that
the officers servants in the British
forces tOtaled nearly two hundred
thousand. He claimed that this re-
moved two hundred thousand excep-
tiOnally good and well-trained fighters
from the actual firing line, claiming
that the officers, when selecting a man
for servants duty, generally picked the
man who had been out the longest and
knew the ropes.
But from my observation find that

to him and VerifieS the cdr1 by calling
out the numbers thereon to the man
with the bag. AS each number is
called he picks it out Of the ones
picked from the bag and says, Fright"
If the count is right he shouts, blouse
correct, pay the lucky gentleman, and
sell him a card for the next school,"
The "lucky gentleman" generally buys
one unless he has a miser trace in
his veins.
Then another collection is made, a
school formed, and they carry on with
the game.
The caller-out has many nicknames
for the numbers such as "Kelly's Eye"
for one, Legs Eleven" for eleven,
"Clickety-click" for sixty-six, or '"Top
of the house" meaning ninety.
The game is honest and quite en-
jOyable. Sometimes you have fourteen
numbers on your card covered and
you are waiting for the fifteenth to be
called. In an imploring voice you call
out, "Come on, Watkins, chum, Tn
sweating on 'Kelly's Eye"
Watkins generally replies, "Well,
hcSp Oul VI a NIdLl, y Ou IL NdtSh No1o.
Another game is ''Pontoon," played
with cards; it is the same as our
''Black Jack" or ''Twenty-one."
A card game called Drag" is also
popular. Using a casino deck, the
dealer deals each player three cards.
1t is similar to our poker, except for
the fact that you only use three cards
and cannot draw. The deck is never
shuffied until a man shows three of a
kind or "prile' as it is called. The
value of the hands are, high card, a
pair, a run, flush or three of kind
or "prile." The limit is generally a
penny, so it is hard to win a fortune.
The next in popularity is a card
game called Nap" 1t is well named.
Every time played it 1 went to sleep.
Whist and solo whist are played by
the highbrOys of the company.

games they try Banker and Broker

ID ENROLL GIRLS IN
 WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

Plans have been completed for the enrolment of girls in the Victory Girls campaign at the Phoenix Union High school. Those in charge of this feature of the United War Work cam paign are urging all girls who wish to pledge themselves to earn and give definite sums for the welfare work among the soldiers and sailors over there and at home to enlist in this work as soon as possible.
 Pledge cards will be assigned during the campaign week of November Ills but girls can begin to earn the money they plan to pledge right now when school is closed so that they may be ready to fulfill their pledges when school opens.
 Likewise women who can use girls for a whole or a half day are asked by those in charge of the Victory Girls to call the high school office and leave name and address, and girls who want to get in line for a job to help and earn their pledge money are like wise asked to telephone and enlist.
 The republican county central com mittee is offering work to about half a hundred boys and girls to aid them in meeting their pledges and those who wish to earn money that way should see County Chairman Harrington at the committee headquarters, second floor northeast corner of First avenue and Washington street.

ORDER I CHARGE IN
 DEFICIT TRENCH IF
 COUNTYW. S.S. SALE

The sloWness of Maricopa county in purchasing its allotment of war savings stamps for october brought together on Sunday morning the pastors of the various churches of Phoenix, the board of governors of the Brotherhood Lunch club and Chairman J. C. Dobbins of the Maricopa county war savings commit tee, in a consultation to devise means for raising this deficit in war savings stamps sales.
 It finally was decided to interest from 10 to 20 men of each church of the city in the matter of a campaign the present week to sell thrift stamps and baby bonds. The county is in ar rears some $300000 in sales of war savings stamps.
 In letter sent last night from the office of Chairman Dobbins to each of these score of men from the various churches, which they will receive this morning, the plan is explained in de- tail. Each man is requested to agree to sell a minimum of s100 worth of war savings stamps this week, and it con- fidently is expected that some of them will sell several times that amount.
 It is true, the men who are behind this campaign admit, that the people have just concluded the fourth Liberty loan campaign in which they used con- siderable of their energy and money, but it is reminded that the boys in France are ordered from one charge into another, with no word of explana- ton, in fact, they expect nothing else, and it is reminded that the people at home should do the same willingly.
 Stamps and baby bonds for this seli- ing campaign can be secured at the postoffice, it is stated, and the men will be expected to make a report each evening of their sales to the pastor of their particular church. These reports will be published daily in the news papers.
