a famous gneral in the Bolshevilli army
Irving is of the opinion that his ancestors
threw the alphabet out of the window
in a rage and picked the remains to use
for nom de plume,
Sergeant Schaffer has a novelty in the
way of pajamas The sergeant has APP
piled for pattnt and expects to have
the authorities make this the standard
nightly garb. It's a scream-reminds you
of straight jacket, We trust that the
sergeant viii bring his sleeping duds to
the attention of the famous HoudinI.
We understand that o'Elange, alias
POP JOFFRE. refused to serve as K. p,
last Wednesday because on first glance
of the menu Pop Joffre'' thought he
read 'KATZEN-JAMS." After an ex-
citing fifteen minutes, Mess Sergeant
Rounds convinced "Frenchy' that it was
"Candied Yams," and harmony prevailed
again.
When that famous band OF ours played
the French national anthem, Pop Jotfre
assumed a Napoleon BOnaparte pose and
led the band with a leg of turkey, with
out dressing, which showed COnclusively
that it was real French performance.
Corporal Blackwell has been relieved
as aide de camp to Pop Joffre Private
Max Goss is now Frenchy's hodyguard,
Perhaps Pop loffre wanted an aide his
height. or maybe it was the horse that
the charge. 1t is impossible for Frenchy
to raise his head and he found it i'm
practical to carry on conversations with
his former aide.
Private Freedlander entertained with
a violin solo, on one string, and caused
tears in the eyes Of the audience. And
incidentally the string broke and ended
the agony. He surely can play sym
pathetic music with real sympathy.

ror and thought he needed a few hairs
cut from his fast disappearing locks.
After a visit to the barber, Bill again
gave the mirror the double co. and found
to his dismay that the lock which caused
the extra expense belonged TO Romeo
| Hughes, who had paid a visit to the
mirror previous to bill and had lost it

Bin swears he will get even with the
manufacturers OF trench mirrors. He VIII
hereafter use the back of his wash pan.

but stylish accent. He has been sep
arated from his tutors, Cheer up, Bill,
we may aid you IN securing new one.
You never can tell.
'Yodels" Dodelson has infriugcd on
I that title We win take the matter up
with our attorneys to see II legal redress
is possible. What bothers us most is
which of the prominent attorneys now in
the company is most capable IT'S a
! toss up between Attorney HONG and
Counsellor McGraw. Stin we admire the
Celtic fighting spirit. but can not over
look Honig's ability to secure substan-
| tial verdict.
Private John Tietjen, as a broad, high
or standing jumper Is a fine card locator.
John tried to bread the record and nearly
succeeded in breaking his ankle.
Private McGuinnes is a hurdler who
refuses to extend himself, AS each notch
was raised, he raised his feet and walked
over with an inch or two to spare. II
ever he stretches his full length Sergeant
Clay will have to provide a new cot to
enable Mac to enjoy his slumber in peace.
Private Hughes alias the Romeo of
Tent No. 6, is at it again. George the
