Of US Just what they intend doing as
soon as they are given their blue bits
OF paper. Matty O'Brien was talking
to us this morning. Matty is an Irish
man and halls from some little town
in Massachusetts. He's the LATEST lad
ever saw in my life and that's saying
lot. He's got job here in the army
as orderly to a captain. That's the
LATEST job in the army. He has fall
ed to make good on that. because just
this morning heard the captain bawl
him out and tell him among other
things that he was so lazy and slow
he would be out OF luck in a snail race.
III draw twenty or thirty and may
be more when they hand me my walk
ing papers," said Matty this morning.
That's In addition TO q ticket back TO
Massachusetts,. I'm going to take the
money and go down to this Imperial
hotel in Greenville and hand II TO the
clerk for n room. And I'm going TO
tell him he better by golly not wake
me up until the room rents due again.
Say. fellows, won't 1t be greet to be
in bed where you don't have to wor-
ry. about reveille?"
The top sergeant in my outfit is an
old railroad man. He's going to tap
the general manager for a ticket suf-
ficient to carry him on tour OF the
country for q couple Of months. Then
he Is going to railroad again. Another
lad who halls from the mountains Of
Tennessee. is going back right away
and start to raising corn, which he
will convert into whisky same thing
was doing afore the draft got me-"
Another soldier in the outfit Is going
to South America and Is now looking
for some sure enough buddy to go
with him. The little Jew. Abraham
Cohen. is going back to MOO York"
and into the 'joolry" business In time
to catch the soldiers coming back
from overseas. There are twenty or
more Jews in this camp and Matty
O'Bricn. who is always kidding our
Jew. told him that an order was al
ready out whereby all the Jews In
camp by the name Of Cohen. would be
discharged this week and given $1,000
in cash. Cohen believed 1t for a whole
day. However, he's going to run the
"joolry" store anyhow. Being a Jew
he's got a thousand tucked away some
how.
Some OF the boys are going to do
all kinds OF wonderful things. But the
most Of us will make a bee-line back
to the homes from whence We came.
Will we be glad to get back? on,
shucks! Does a duck like muddy wa
ter; or does a jack-ass like hay?

ROUGH ON THE REDS.
Soldiers and Sailors Break Up Meet

Soldiers and Sailors Break Up Meet
ing of New York Socialists.
Hundreds of soldiers sailors and
marines broke through a Gordon Of
police surrounding Madison Square
garden in New York last Monday
night and attacked international so1
cialists who had attended mass meet
ing at which bolshevik doctrines were
expounded. The. men and women leaH4
ing me 6aif BROKE and Ned as the feh
in uniform charged past the police,
but were pursued into the side streets
in all directions.
The attack on the socialists came
at the close OF the meeting which
threatened from tho moment II began
TO break into n riot. II was called os-
tensibly to protest against the ex-
ecution OF Thomas J. Mooney, but the
speakers devoted most Of their atten-
ton to pleas for the release of "politi-
car offenders.
Several mon and women were ar
"oetcd for displaying red flags SNUG
gled into the garden in defiance Of an
dict by Mayor Hylan. Large num-
bcrs of men in uniform entered the
building before the doors were locked
with avowed dete rmination of preven-
ting attacks upon the government.
Scores of Tist fights were interrupted by
officers.
Soldiers and sailors who were unable
to get into the meeting sent out pa
trolls TO round up all the men in uni
form who could be found to join In
the charge on the socialists which had
been planned to take place when the
oratory was ended and the internation-
olists started for their homes.
Madison Square was the rallying
,oint for the military. They quickly
staged an impromptu mass meeting
at which speakers denounced the
"bolsheviki." They were cheered not
only by the men in uniform but by civil
liam sympathizers. When some one
called upon loyal Americans" to
charge the garden and attack the In
ternationalists, several hundred re-
sponded. They were driven back how
vcr. by mounted police and men on
foot who had surrounded the build
ing.
Realizing that they had failed in the
first attack, the soldiers and sailors
awaited the arrival of reinforcements.
Probably 1000 men of both branches
of the service had assembled.
The opening Of the doors Of the gar
don was the signal for a second
charge The soldiers and sailors
fought their way past the police swing
ing night sticks and attacked the So
cialists.
Almost instantly the square was
filled with yelling. running, fighting
men. The screams of women, most of
them wearing red roses or carnations
