Headless Soldier Runs Fifteen Feet.

Private E. Covert, OF Divisional
Headquarters, just home from over
seas, tells what he claims is true
story OF how lieutenant went mad
on beholding headless man rushing
side BY side with him toward the
Germans. According to Covert, the
lieutenant was running with his men
toward a German stronghold. "A
shell took off the head of the man
next to the lieutenant The forward
momentum of the man, coupled with
the steadying effect Of the lieutenant
on one side and private on the
other, was sufficient to carry the
headless trunk fifteen feet.

IN "CIVVIEs !"

Where are the girls who used to smile
And the rides J used TO get,
And where Is the crowd that was very
proud
To pass me a cigarettef
Time was ! danced with the maidens
fair
And captured their hearts by storm,
But I've lost my pull with the beautiful
Since quitting the uniform.
I've sunk my shoes into Turkish rugs
That only the rich can own.
At tables fine I've been asked to dine
In the heart of the social zone.
In the cushions deep OF limousine
have rested my manly form.
l5ut ye lost my graft with the tony
Since quitting the uniform
I've been king on the ballroom floor,
An ace in the social whirI;
l could show my face in any old place
And never a lip would curl.
1 could walk right up to rich mans
door
And be sure Of welcome warm.
But I've changed a lot, and they know
Since quitting the uniform.
Now I walk downtown and the autos
pass
And NOBODY says Get in,''
And the girls are shy when I'm standing
by
And they give me the tilted chin.
And nobody knows ana nobody cares
Whether ! eat or how.
l must buy my chuck. for I'm out o.
luck;
I'm wearing the "civvies" now.

NEW REGULATIONS
AFFECT UNIFORMS
Designed to Prevent Unau-
thOrized Use and to En-
force Discipline.
RED CHEVRONS RETAINED

All soldiers still in the service and
those recently discharged are affect
ed by regulations just Issued by the
War Department for the enforcement
of discipline and to prevent the un-
authorized use of the uniform and
decorations.
The question of laxity in dress. the
wearing of dirty. soiled or torn uni
forms, combinations of uniform and
civilian clothing. unbuttoned coats or
overcoats, etc." says the official cir
cular, 'is for officers and men still in
the service entirely a question of dis
cipline and will be treated as such.
What Present Law Provides.
For discharged officers and men
the matter of discipline is beyond the
control of the military authorities. 1t
is not possible. nor is it intended that
the military authorities should pre-
vent the wearing by discharged Off,
GERS and men of uniforms which do
not conform to specifications. the
present law prevents the wearing of
the uniform for discharged enlisted
men except en- route from the place of
discharge to their home. which jour
ney may take place within, or may
consume. three months from the date
of discharge. The uniform must be
returned to the government within
four months of the date of discharge.
For discharged officers. the law is
the same. except that the uniforms,
being the property of the officers. are
not required to be returned and the
officers may also wear them on occa-
sions of ceremony. There is, how
ever, a bill before Congress to allow
discharged officers and men to retain
and wear their uniforms indefinitely.
In view of the fact that this bill is
clearly the result of public opinion
and will probably be enacted into law,
it is thought best to consider it as
already in force in so far as it al
lows officers and enlisted men to re-
tain and wear their uniforms for the
time being.
THE red chevron was adopted in
order to distinguish discharged en-
listed men from those still in the sery-
ice. The fact that IT is. perhaps. being
used in some cases by enlisted men
still in the service as a means of de-
ceiving the military authorities is not
sufficient cause to warrant it's re-
moval These cases are subject to
disciplinary action and military COM
manders have the power to make this
particular breech of regulations high
ly Improbable for the offenders. Dis
men seem to be willing and
ready to wear the chevron, even when
necessary to purchase it from civilian
firms. 1t is not considered advisable
to attempt to obtain legislation rem
dering discharged men in uniform
subject to military discipline. The red
chevron, while admittedly not a uni
versal panacea, is the only practical
plan so far suggested to maintain the
distinctive character of the uniform
when worn by soldiers as distinguish
ed from ex-Soldiers.
