A Tribune Woman
Takes The First Home
Ne.rs Aboard a
7roopship
BY ELENE FOSTER

" re STOOD in little group at the
wv end of the dock peerng through
the mist for a glimpse of the
great gray transport that was bringing
some thousands of our sick and wound
ed men home from overseas. There were
perhaps twenty of us in all-men in
khaki with the white brassard of the
Army Medical Corps on their arms;
others in civilian clothes with brassards
that bore the inscription, "W. u. Tele
grams" SC "a" or &C. 95" (these were
the newspaper mem half dozen sturdy
dockhands, and six or eight women in
the dark blue uniform of the Red Cross,
each holding aloft a flag, either the
white and rcd emblem of their organiza-
ton or the Stars and Stripes.
Standing behind us and filling the en-
tire open end of the pier was military
band of forty or fifty pieces, each man
with his instrument to his lips ready to
burst into melody at the first wave of
the leaders, baton.
As the only 'outsider" present | ex-
cited the curiosity of some of the "old-
timers" ut must be very interesting to
one who hasn't seen a boat come in,'
fished one of the Red Cross women. "Of
course, we see so many that we are quite
used to it, Are you expecting some
onc?"
Yes, several people," | replied.
Only the 'casuals' will be landed to-
night" she went on care your friends
'casuals'?'
Very l replied, and just at that mo-
ment there was crash of sound from
the band and a great gray hulk poked
its nose through the mist.
Never, if | live to be as old as Methu-
selah, shall forget that scene, the mist
covered river and the dim outlines of the
nearby tugs and piers. A moment later
we could discern the masses of khaki fig
ures that crowded to our side of the
decks and were scattered over the rig
cling and then family across the CLASSY
waters came their glad cries of welcome
The Red Cross flags waved frantically,
the medicos and civilians swung their
hats and yelled their greetings and, as

couldn't make sound owing to lump

v7aved my muff like a maniac and, some
low or other, got frightfully mixed up
Tsith the busy end of trombone which
seemed to have acquired most annoy
ing habit of prodding the base of my
brain at regular intervals, but even this
failed to dampen my ardor.
That bandmaster knew his business.
He greeted the homecoming troops with
real old home tunes, "The Suwanee
River" Dixie "Old Black Joe" and
"Auld Lang Syne,' and then as the ship
neared the dock he burst forth into
Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here" which
caused the widest enthusiasm from the
audience on the decks.
BY this time the big ship had locked
and we all rushed to the opening where
the gangway was to be placed. The
band took up its station near by and re-
sponded to all the requests which were
shouted from the deck They played
Liberty Bells "There Are Smiles That
Make You Happy" ''The Long, Long
Trail and all the rest.
The gangway was hoisted into place,
guards took their places at either end, a
bright spotlight flashed at the top, and

into bunch of Fritzes after the amrnu-
milton gave out and captured or killed
every blooming one of 'em. Hey, there,
Dave, don't go away! Meet a lady

sented to the hero of the ship
In the course of our conversation
said to him: Somebody's going to be
pretty proud of you when you get home.
Who is it, your mother?"
His face beamed. 81 guess it's the
little woman" he said. "It'll mean a
heap sight more to her than it does to
me-" Then with glance around, to be
sure that no one was listening, he said
in lower tone, "There's a kiddie, too,
since l went away, goin on six months
old he is now. Guess maybe it'll mean
something to him, too, one of these days.
Funny thing, 1 amt never seen the
youngster, but he was the first one
thought of when they told me in the hos
pital that I was goin' to get it. He's our
first child, so it will rightly belong to
him, you see. I kinder like to think Of
that. Bein' woman, guess you under
