18TH COMPANY SHRAPNEL,
MAIN TRAINING DEPOT

II the corporals seem extra fierce
Of late. men don't feel too badly about
It. The reason is, they became so
used to each others company while in
the same tent, that it was just like
leaving home for them to part,
Several OF the men have been ask
ing, why don't make some arrange
ments to hire "A piano or victrola. To
this end "A committee has been appoint
cd to see on what terms we can hire
piano, If they are successful, we
will probably have plenty Of music
during the coming months.
The only reason we are keen for a
piano is to give the Machine Gun
Howlers' something that will prob
ably drown them ont We suggest
that Corporal Egner be given a chance
to qualify as accompanist,
Our new c, o., Captain Graft, sure
has been o busy man since taking
command. His duties as battalion
commander haven't given us chance
to get acquainted,
Our idea Of gloom; To stand In front
of the orderly room and see the ex-
preston on the face of man, who has
wife. who is staying in town overnight.
The Georgia men are sure digging
in and soldering since this cool
weather has set in. We're with you
boys. We never did care much for
this 120-in-t the shade weather which
is h3nded out during the summer
months.
Speaking OF famous savings, we
think none Of the ancient gents who
specialized in that line had anything
on these, by our own famous men:
Lieut.. MuIlens: What would you do
IL Benny crossed your post?"
Lieut., Kiniry: $50 help me, Jose
phine'
Lieut. Vassar: Dress that gun up"
Sergeant Reed Come on you guys,
where dya think you are home"
Sergeant Senger: Now. smartly up,
'Shun.'"
Sergeant Hayward; When was at
0. r. S"
Corporal Lanfgraft: When I was
playing Frisco
Corporal Magnifico; Let's write
some letters, I'm broke
Corporal Henriques; "Oh, boys,
when / hit old New York believe
me"
Corporal Egner; Come on to town,
1t won't cost you cent
Corporal Fischer: who's turn it is
to sweep this morning I swept yester-
day"
Corporal Smith; when I was in the
National Guard"

NINETEENTH COMPANY

Some real happenings during the
week:
A rookie lost razor strop and re-
ported to the First Sergeant in this
manner.
Rookie to First sorgeant-Did a ra-
zor strop report to the orderly tent

What do you think of this?
Non-com Fritzam found a pocket
book with $l66tS in large bills in 1t

Commander
Referring to GuenckeI and Hen

It'd BITS FROM THE 18TH

Private Muhlan cannot figure out the
difference between bed and board. He
claims there is no difference.
At last we have lost a ball game.
Well as the saying goes, nothing is
impossible"
Time is the interval between pay
days.
Now that our British friends are
gone. we might say. They win be re-
membered for a long time"
Sergeant Seifang says it's war that's
running the army, seeing as we are
compelled to take In so many civilians.
Corporal Van Alstine has a mando-
lin, violin 81 sheets Of music and a
pair Of lungs, and sim the only music
he can get out OF his system is with
a pair Of sticks and a wash board.
Corporal Aitken has a good ear for
music, but he can't hear the bugle in
