TANK TINKERs.

Tank Tinkers sure is getting
reputation" Private Seely, one of the
re-enlisted tankers, said upon return
he was on thirty-day furlough.
'"The Trench and Camp is on file
at the Y in Pittsburgh and read the
Tank TinkePs every week."
The genial sergeant major at Tank
Corps headquarters. says: "You bet
ter put reverse on that; didn't want
it said." Will the said sergeant ma
jor please instruct us to the proper
signal for reversal? He was seen
taking course at the driving school
for tankers, so he can undoubtedly
give proper instruction, when the re-
versal will take place in due course
and form, as becomes true tanker.
If other apology or retraction is de-
sired, will the said sergeant major
please consider it given herewith?
Sergt. Hipsch, acting sergeant
major, has become q new votary of
the bandsman's art. The other day
nonchalantly, and straightway did
embrace the very excellent instru-
ment with two horns on it," as he
said After considerable inspection of
the said euphonium. which was wit
messed by many present, he blurted
thing anyway" And all at once he
spied the place where the smaller
horn was to be attached and tried to
fit the mouthpiece in its place, and
all admitted to the sergeant that that
was just the place to blow the, said
4hna0rGn
credulous. one of the crowd cried out:
Darn If he don't believe us!'
Really, it appears that the reveille
bugle sounds the most soothing notes
of all the bugie calls. judging by the
reverse manner in which all regard it.
1t is recommended that the camp
commander or some other authority
rule that this call be used for taps.
And why not sound taps at reveille?
Everybody seems to want to be up
and doing then!
Parting Of friends made on the bat
tlefield and in camp is general nova
days, as so many are returning to
civilian life. This circumstance has
created a new idea in farewell greet
ingsA Sorry you must leave so soon,"
is the orthodox civilian and formal
adieu. But who dares so to address
a fellow soldier ready for his dis
charge? Better reverse that, too, or
you will find yourself losing a friend
mace uUQer Cn0 SLTOSS Oh war.
And now, while you think of it,
isn't this column one of reverses this
week. And yet the anomaly of a re-
verse being distinct advantage is
presented herewith. Such is war. the
armistice and the approach of peace.
And mighn't this be called something
new under the sun? But it is not.
1t is only the viewpoint we take and
the application made of the facts
which alter the service we may bend
them to. AS with patents, it is not
that any new mechanical movements
are Incorporated that makes a thing
patentable, but the combinations
thereof. For there are no new me-
chanical movements. The whole uni
verse moves with mechanically accu-
rate precision and with mathematical
accuracy as to its course. Upon
it Is based the whole law of me-
chanical movement, and this includes
the movements which are possible
with the human body.
But what has all this to do with
this column?

Among the recent arrivals in &C

in the medical department of the 3Sthl
Infantry and who was captured by

DR.. Nelson and Messrs. AmOss.

Meade for Home.

The "Y' is undergoing constant
changes, just like the Army. these
days, and many members of the old
staff are now returning to civil life.
One of the most recent losses in
Camp Meade was the departure of DR..
William p. Nelson of Kansas City.
who had been camp religious work
director since the regime of DR..
Thomas s. McWilliams, February /.
He had been in Meade since October.

This was an excerpt from a resolu-
tion passed at meeting of religious
work secretaries after DR.. Nelson's
resignation.
U. L. Amoss, executive at V-hut, was
In many respects the most active "Y''
man on the staff at Meade at any time
within it's history. 1t was with pc
culiar fitness that he was chosen to
take charge of the hut, after period
of training in almost every depart
ment of the work. He seemed able to
turn most easily from one thing to
another and to perform the job, what
ever it was, well. This was true of his
efforts in the canteen service at Dis
ney, by which he gave hungry soldiers
a hearty welcome-and food and drink
to satisfy their appetites.
Predict Brilliant Future for Amoss
Mr. Amoss is now doing religious
work for the "Y'' in Baltimore among
the factory workers. 1t is predicted
that his future win be marked by a
brilliancy unsurpassed by few men
in the service.
Rev. r. M. Campbell, executive at
J-hut, formerly at Shut, and Rev. E.
p. Hains, also of the same buildings,
were men whose services were ap-
preciated by the men who came in
contact with them and by their fell
low members in the "Y." Both were
tireless workers and good mixers two
things that are necessary to the sue
cess of "Y' mans work.
Dr. G. w. Cabaniss will close his hut
in &C block shortly and open service
building at Viz for colored soldiers
of that area. 1t will be called the
