stand for Canadian Engineer.
The soldier, his face o study In

lated policeman put In an appear

''Now, then, what's ell this about?'
demanded the constable.

Some of the kill-joys who come to
visit the camps as if they were visiting
a menagerie seem to think there is
something sinfully shameful in the
jokes of the boys. According to the
shocked appearance of these worthless,
the moment man puts on uniform,
he ought to be as solemn as on in
spection; and as for a joke, what right
has man who is going to scent pow
der to let himself smile. There's a
funeral ahead, they argue: prepare for
1t now.
We Of the camps should like for a
few of these mortals to spend a few
days in any camp and not laugh-not
because there is anything peculiarly
amusing about sentry-go in the snow,
but because if you do not laugh you
are apt to forget how. This grim
business of war;" as they call It in
Congress, is like any other business.
If you look at one side of it all the
time, you grow stale. If you keep
thinking about the Crosses on the

WANTED MONEY DIRECT

A Russian peasant in a German
prison camp, having heard that ap-
peals for assistance were being an
swered, decided to write letter and
ask for money with which to buy
food and clothing. Not knowing to
whom else to appeal. he wrote let
ter to God, asking for one hundred
marks.
His letter attracted attention at
the censor's Office and was referred
to the War Ministry. The officers
there collected twenty-five marks
and sent them to the Russian pris-
oner, thinking they had thereby done
a good turn. The prisoner, however,
was not we'll satisfied, as was ap-
parent from his reply in which he
thanked God for the twenty-five
marks but cautioned Him to send
future money direct rather than
through the War Ministry, saying
that the rascally officials there had
kept seventy-five marks and had sent
him only twenty-five.

was not many days before Tommy re-
sembled a hobo so closely that he
could not have identified himself in a
mirror. And when one Tommy saw
the earmarks of the ''bum" on his pal,
he decided that something had hap
pened to him and that his pal had lost
his punch. Consequently, when Tom
my had to sustain the next charge Of
the Germans. he argued there was no
use standing If the other man intended
to run. He beat him to it-and that
meant threatened disaster.
At length the amazed officers saw
the connection between button and
bravery. They traced back the changed
psychology Of Tommy and they de-
termined that no Tommy thereafter
should ever lose heart because his
mess-mates looked like threats.
Back to polishing his buttons went
Tommy and back with the polish on
the buttons came Tommy's old-time
punch. -.
That is why he is polishing still, no
matter whether he is in billets or
lodging German grenades. And that
IL why Tommy's cousin is polishing,
too. A uniform does not make q
soldier and polished buttons do not
win a bar or medal; bat the soldier
who looks fit feels fit, and when he
feels fit he 10 fit to fight!

LAUGH, BLAST YOU, Taught

hill" you get as morbid as though you
belonged to the grave-diggers' detail,
and after you have been morbid long
enough, you either 60 crazy or become
hardened.
Viewed from the other side, the
good humor of the men is a positive
asset to the army. There never was
but one victorious army that never
smiled, and that army was Cromwell's.
Every other body Of fighting men that
won a place in history knew how to
smile, how to laugh and how to make
the very best of the hardships that
came. What helps the army helps the
men who make it up. All things be-
ing even, the man who knows how to
smile is better soldier than the man
whose face is like crepe on a door
knob. The mess that jokes is seldom
a mess that sulks.
And what is the reason for all this?
Just the plain common-sense maxim
that the man who finds life worth liv-
ing will fight harder to Il
