" man has been attached to our
Battalion, and he gets a few papers
and considerable tobacco and cigar

All that is necessary to get by is the
gas mask, the rest of your uniform

So far we have had several gas
alarms but found out later that the
gas did not reach us as we are from
2 to miles behind the infantry.
However, we did get whiff Of the

uncomfortable for about an hour.

Most gas casualties come from wise

There is world of difference be-

HOW TO ADOPT A WAR ORPHAN

All Of the money contributed will go
to the children. The expenses of admin
istration will be borne by the Red Cross.
A photograph and history of each
child will be sent to it's adopting unit,
which will be advised of the child's
whereabouts and hereafter notified
monthly of it's progress.
The Red Cross committee will deter
mine the disposal of the child. 1t will
either be sent to practical agricultural
or trade school or supported in French
family.
No restrictions are placed upon the
methods by which the money may be
raised. 1t may be gathered by an equal
assessment upon the members of a unit.

tainment-in any way the unit sees fit.

SCARED? YOU BET
THEY ARE
Cadet Aviators Can See No Romance in
Initial Flight

care we scared when we make our
first fight?" asked cadet aviator talk
ing of his backbone training. "Of
course we're scared. It's fun to look at
the pictures and to imagine yourself up
there in the clouds, but when it comes
to stepping into your machine beside the
instructor and expecting all that dead
weight of engine and blood and bone
to shoot you mile in air on two frail-
looking cloth wings-you're scared
"But it's just that look at the instruc-
tor that saves the day. There's no ro-
nance of aviation in his eye. He's mar
ried and got family not so many miles
from the field, and his kids don't stand
crying on the doorstep all day wonder
ing whether papa will be brought home
in wheelbarrow at supper time And
when supper time comes papa always
walks up the steps just as sound of body
as though he'd been floor-walking all
day.
That's what gives you confidence.
This instructor person isn't batting an
eye, and if there's CLEAN in it it's at
the prospect of steak at the end OF
the days work-if that fool pupil with
the quaking legs will only hop into the
machine so that the trip can start. And
the fool pupil makes his teeth stop chat
tering and climbs aboard. There's no
rah-rah stuff about that instructor, and
that's just what keeps your pulse down
to somewhere near normal when you
shake day-day at Mother Earth for the
first time"

4 COMPANY, detachment or group
~ of the A. E. F. agrees to adopt
child for a year, contributing
500 francs for it's support.
The children will be either orphans,
the children of French soldiers so seri-
ously crippled that they cannot work, or
homeless waits from the invaded dis
tricts. The adopting unit may select it's
child from any of these classes and
specify it's age and sex.
The money will be sent to "The Stars
and Stripes" to be turned over to a spe-
cial committee of the American Red
Cross for disbursement.
At least $50 francs will be paid upon
adoption and the remainder within four
months thereafter.

THAT COMIC LOOKING CAP"

"THAT COMIC LOOKING CAP"
A mother sat one morning out in Quincy,
Illinois,;
Her thoughts were fondly turning to her
far-off soldier boy.
She said, "I wonder where he is, my own,
my darling Jeff.
I only know he's somewhere with the
well-knoWn A.E.F."
Just as those poignant words she said, a
letter was delivered;
A photograph dropped from it. ooh, who
can that be-" she shivered.
"He used to be snappy boy, handsome
looking chap,
But he doesn't look like son of mine in
that there funny cap!"
CHORUS:
He used to be so pretty,
Did the subject of this ditty,
Before he wore that comic looking cap.
He was such a handsome kid
Before he wore that lid
Now cannot bear to look upon his map!
