O HUT NOTES.

The basket ball games being played
by members of the 18th Sanitary
Train in the Trains Basket Ball
League. are attracting big. crowds
every Friday night. Basket ball, due
in part to the fine efforts of Athletic
Officer Lynch, has become favorite
pastime among the sanitary train
sboys and they are especially in
terested in putting across a fine
league schedule. Last Friday night
the 24Sd Ambulance Company's
quintet went down to defeat at. the
hands of the oath Ambulance Com
pany's team, 10 to 10. The second
game was somewhat one-sided owing
to the fine shooting of the 242d Am
bulance Company's combination. This
outfit defeated the 242d Field Hospital
team, 81 to 9. Lieuts. McMurray and
Goldstein were the referees.
Some of the overseas men enjoyed

were the first pictures he had seen in
five months. They enjoyed the ''Y"

toire for this kind of work.
The Sunday morning regimental
service was in charge of Chaplain
y. II. Bruner Of the Overseas Casual

something of a record even for this

crs. which is part of the explanation.
The show included boxing with Bonnie
L. Anseneau, Company C, 18th Depot
Battalioa, having slight edge on Ed
ward Bogues Of the same company. No
decision was rendered.
A draw was the result of the boxing
between Francis Fabbijio, same COM
pany as above, and Bill Malowin, same
outfit, the >boys weighing 122 and 1875
pounds, respectively.
Much interest was manifested in the
wrestling bout between Pete Brown,
Company B, Sd Training Battalion. and
Private Parson. Company C, Eth Train
Ing Battalion. weighing las and $50
pounds, respectively Brown was said
to have had a little the better of the
argument, although no fall was obtain
ed within ten minutes, when the bout
was stopped.
Others who took part in the show
were Privates Winde and Sheffield of

The General Went.

II was stated in a recent dis
patch that Gen. Kuhn shed tears
when he asked all those in his
command who were with him at
Meade to raise their hands; he
found that not many of his old
men were left.
The scene was a trying one
Tor the commander, but it illus
$rated the valor of the 10Th
Division and the spirit which en-
Abled it to press on, despite all
the losses which it had sustained.
The men who fell continued to
give assurance and support to
those who took their places.
There is something about an
American which makes him fight
when the going is hardest, and
ft into any place in the machine
which may be assigned him.
AS one fellow said, who had
Just come back: 1--WE did not
ask where a boy came from; he
was with us; that was enough;
the only time that this ever hap
pened was in the National Guard
outfits and then it was not made.

II man could fight he was
accepted as regular fellow" in
his new position. Requirements
were made and the battle went
ON as before, only with a greater
aagfessiveness on the part of the
YanN because of the setbacks
received.
II is this steadfastness to duty
which permeates the whole
American system of arms, and it
was the thing which the French
oficer-critic discovered when he
said that the best trained
divisions here were those that
never went to France. He
found that the men in the 18th
and other divisions had over
come the we'll known tendency
Of Yankees to "go forward be-
yond their detectives and fail to
take proper cover, a lesson
which the French learned
through bitter experience, and
which caused them to lose
100000 men in killed alone"
The 18th must be honored for
the fact that they had succeeded
in living up to the teaching of
their French instructors in their
work here to such an extent as
- merit the critics approval.
The 10Th performed heroic
deeds; the 18th stood ready to
duplicate them, if called, and
This fact contributed largely to
The success of those who got
INTO the fight.
