"KEEP COMING, CAsEY!"
The Knights of Columbus Won"4helr
War Motto in the Argonne.

(Wllliam .Almon Wolff in Collier's)
when Lieutenant Colonel Whittle-
sey led his immortal, lost battalion
back from it's desperate struggle in
the Argonne neither he MOI any Of his
men knew that they had been lost"
But something's those boys did know
and knew mighty well! They knew
they had used up their emergency ra-
lions: that there hadn't been q Gig
arctic or the markings of n in the
outfit for u%ncounted hours. They
knew that something hot would taste
like-an advance of heaven! And
suddenly one Of the doughboys. plod-
ding along, yelled: "Oh-you Casey!"
Two minutes later a queer looking
contrivance on wheels was being
mobbed. Clouds Of smoke rose all
gulping down hot coffee and cocoa
filled the air. And a grining. cheer
full chap in the uniform Of a Knights
of Columbus secretary was handing
out fcod and hot drinks and cigarettes
as fast as he could-which was pretty
fast. X. G.. was emblazoned on his
arm and Casey every soldier called
him.
Knights of Columbus secretaries
don't mind being called Casey. If
they weren't by way Of being good
working psychologists they wouldn't
get very far in their work. And they
realized. when the American army
adopted that nickname for the
knights Of Columbus that the organ
~ization had won its spurs. Z
1T was in the Argonne. Uncle" Joe
Herman was talking to a young ar

for something to eat. When the sol

turned when he had gone about forty
yards and waved, and called:s
Keep coming, Casey-keep com

a shell fragment kill the boy as he
turned away. But that soldiers last
words have seemed like a.pretty good
