WE'RE ALL DOUGHBOYS

A letter in the editors mail ssned
"Subscriber" are too young 10 eet
letters from "Old Subscriber"-asks
tartly if we are aware that there an
other kinds of soldiers in this army Be-
sides doughboys. Answer: We are nx.
AS we read the definition in the diction-
ary known as General Usage" dough.
boy is an American soldier--any Amer
ican soldier.
More and more, in the training camps
and in the trenches, over there and ova
here, the name "doughboy" is attaching
itself to every living man who wean
the olive drab. Time was when it was
applied only to enlisted infantrymen
Time was when there was suggestion
of good-natured derision in it. But d
late, with the original doughboys in the
very vanguard of the A.E.F., the name
appears insensibly to have taken on !
new accent of respect. Infantrymen and
artillerymen, medical department bcv
and signal corps sharks, officers and men
alike, all of them are called doughboy
and some of them are rather proud Of
it. Our Observation-Disclosures though
he isis a doughboy. So is General
Pershing. So are we all of us.
If "Subscriber" does not like the
name he need not cancel his subscrip-
tion, because, after all, it was no doing
of ours. If a better name-"Y "Yann,
perhaps-gets into circulation, we shall
use it. If, on the other hand, dough
boy should, in time, become the univef.
sal name for the American soldier, We
cannot claim to have invented it.
We have only one claim to fame. It
is this. Never, so help US, have We
nauseated and unnerved doughboy ~
calling him a Sammie.

OF dlslnfectant to say the least. Besides,
-le was young, and doctors all believe
that the young should be sat upon.
Nevertheless, they began experiment.
ing on large scale with the body louise.
To be sure that they would get no body
lice which had been already inoculated
with feve1uma tye1achium Cor whatever
the nickname for it may be), they sent
to England for some body lice of pure
breed that had not yet been called upon
for overseas service in the ranks. After
long search-to be fair to old England
they succeeded in finding a few lice
which had not only not had trench fever,
but which had been hitherto unexposed
to mumps, whooping cough, measles,
trench feet, chilblains, grip, or house
maids knee.
These uninoculated, chemically pure
lice they brought back in a tin box to the
hospital in France. After they had been
rested up from their voyage across, the
doctors began feeding the little darlings,
one at time, on men who were inocu
lated with trench fever. Then they let
them jump to men who had not been in
oculated. Result: The second bunch of
men promptly got the trench fever.
Getting the Goods on Him
This would have been conclusive proof
of the louse's guilt, for anybody but doc
tors. Not so with them; they like to
give their patients run for their
money, so they let the louise vamp on un-
til there was no possible doubt in the
minds of any Of them that the louise was
the runner, the agent de Haison, or what
ever you want to call him, who spreads
the disease from command to command.
They therefore got together, and pro-
nounced sentence upon the louise in a
body, without single dissenting VOTE
The louise, like Turk, hates baths.
The louse, like Bulgarian, hates steam
laundries. He hates soap as the devil
hates holy water. Therefore, the doc
tors and the men Of the Sanitary Corps
and the company commanders and every
body concerned are going after the louise
by first going after the men with baths,
and steam faundries, and soap, with a
new zeal. At frequent intervals along
the front "delousing stations" are to be
set up, and there all men capturing lice
will be directed to report with their
prisoners for examination and detention
until the lice are all thoroughly disem-
barked.
Several packs Of blooded louise hounds
are to be brought over from England
to join in the hue and cry. Louise hunt
ing in the open, back of the lines, both
on horse and afoot, promises to become
one of the great sports of !, the spring
during the rest periods. The cry has
gone forth: mo peace with louseoc,
racy!"

TO A NURSE

Well, Miss Blank, you have now in the
ward under your management a no ac-
count bugler. Amt he the funniest
looking gink y'ever saw, with his close
cropped hair, pug nose, and those two
big worries? And after I've gone you'll

ing Yupiter that you're relieved Of that
Calamity. And you'll forget all about
me after this here war is over and we
all return home and get used to Broad
way and civilization again. You'll never
think OF me again. And if you did, it
would only be as gawky looking youth.
And you'd never mention it to your
friends.

hkely-i rise to prominence, and get to
be general, or millionaire, or q car
toonist, or commit murder, or some

nothing ignuts, but as Brave Dough-
boy who Risked His Young Life for His
Country. Then you'll remember me. as

TT USED to be the engineer who was
always to blame for the wreck.
Now it's the louise.
Yes, the louise! The humble, inoffend-
ing shirt-bound, the cootie, the flannel
buzzard the only backbiter in the army
that gets away with 1.-THE loise, who
is so fond Of man that he spenus all his
time trying to get next to him. The
louise is the goat-or worse. Long So
cial outcast, he is now about to be iso-
lated and interned for the duration of
the war.
Exhaustive and painful researches,
conducted by the combined committee of
investigators from the American and
British expeditionary forces, have, SO
to speak, PINNED the bug" on the louise
yes, the louise! Of you don't like to
hear us say "louse," Geraldine, then go
somewhere where you can't hear us say
"louse," for we've got to say "louse" in
order to tell this lousy story.) Said in
stigators-medicos all-declare that
the louise, and none other than the louse,
is the communication of the pet disease
of the exclusive Western front-namely,
trench fever. Therefore, the louise, one
of the most precious heirlooms of the
army, has got to go.
No Chance to Wriggie Out
He's been spotted, has the louse-from
the way he spotted his victims. He was
given every chance in the world to prove
k,,% 1>o
twisted and wriggled so much on the wit
ness stand, under the cross-examination
of high powered microscope, that he lit
orally hanged himself. The fact that he
took the stand in his own defence didn't
help him bit with the jury. The jury
was composed exclusively of doctors. No
wonder its verdict was cruel.
It's long story, this story about the
louise. It starts out with the British
American Committee, headed by Major
Richard P. Strong, U. S. M. R. c., gath
cred together in solemn conclave to use up
part Of the 100000 fund set aside by
the American Red Cross for research
work. They decided, right off the bat,
that the thing that needed research the
most-in the medical line, that is-was
the malady known as trench fever.
They started to work in British hos
pital in France. What they had to work
on consisted of one officer and seventy
two enlisted men Of the A. E. F., who
volunteered as experimentation subjects.
From them, and the things they did to
them, they CLEANED the information that
not only is trench fever carried by com
plete incubation, but it is transmitted
in the serum of the blood.
! Shrspnel?-Guess Again
So far, 80 good. Now, what takes
blood out Of man, and gives it to an
other? That was q po>er for while.
