Lieut.. Donaldson, 211th F. 8. b,
Tells of Great Work Done
by U. s. Men.

At the time this division was slated
to participate in the struggle over
there three officers from the 211th
F. S. b. were sent on ahead to gather
tactical information. OF the three
who sailed on the ship Balmoret
Castle, Lieut.. Weber Donaldson or
Company B is the only one returned,
and he tells a wonderful story.
The school for signal officers which
he attended was situated at Chatu-
lon.Sur- Seine. about fifteen miles In
the rear of the I'd Army Corps. In
the st. Mihiel sector. Here were
gathered about eighty officers, half
Of whom had seen service at tine
front and the other half sent from
the United States preceding their OIL
visions. The chief object OF the
school was to familiarize the omcers
with the, foreign method or liaison.
paratus of the American, French ana
British armies were studied and dis
cussed. High ranking officers OF long
service conducted the classes, ana
the course included q great deal OF
study. Among the many interesting
things was the German equipment,
which was noted for its bulkiness out
it's intricate efficiency. This method
Of studying the enemy ideas was fol-
lowed out.
Conditions of housing and general
comfort was not what one would ex-
pect of a school, but to Offset the
grimness of living accommodations
the officers were allowed great deal
of liberty, especially after the sign
ing of the armistice. At that time
the course ended and the omcerS
spread all over France.
The lieutenant tells an interesting
story from experience which Illus
trates the ignorance of the command
ing officers regarding signal work.
A colonel in the line looked up from
his papers to find q pigeon rOosting
on his desk. In a voice rather biuss
tering he asked what the h. that
thing was doing. The abashed aid
assured him that the bird had brought
q message of Importance. Tho coloneI
grabbed the message and. picking up
q pen, dashed off q reply. Here.
he said to the aid, "send the bird back
with this" Such an obvious error
needs no explanation.
Lieut.. Donaldson spoke glowingfy
Of the whole experience, and praised
the work of the Signal Corps. After
this delightful journey the heMtenant
will receive a discharge. and resume
his civilian bent. for which he pre-
pared at De Pauw University in Indi-
ana. The undue modesty of the inter-
viewed hinders me from eulogizing
on his good qualities, which are many.

TOBE SHELvED;
DENIES DEATH REPORT
Sergeant in 18th Infantry Stunned
by News Of His Death.
Due to Oversight.

Sergt. Swartz, Company A. 18th In
fantry, arrived at his home on fur
Tough a short time ago, and was
amazed to learn that he, like Laza-
rus, had risen from the dead. His
family were surely bewildered at see
ing their boy, after his being report
ed dead in France more than three
months ago.
1t seems that the War Department
had published in the casualty list
the name of the boy, and he was
hcralded as having met heroic
death But Swartz simply couldn't
stand the honor of being dead nero,
and so he takes this means of let
ting his friends know he is still kick =
ing.
The sergeant was at one time a
member of the 4th Infantry but was
transferred to the 18th to drill un-
trained troops. Consequently. when
the 4th was cut UP badly in France
among the names of those missing
was his. This was an oversight. pure
of worrying, which, happily, turned
out for the best. 1t must be said
that such an unusual happening
shows slip-up somewhere, yet
Swartz is to be complimented on his
modest manner in asserting that he
never saw France, much to his sor-
row.
The parents of Sergt. Swartz re-
joice in their home, at 900 South
street, Philadelphia. and justly do
they feel happy in this new year

And your tonsils squeak and your hair gets dry,
And your d0ggOne sure your going to die,
But your skeered you wont and 'fraid You will,
Just go to bed and have your chill,
And pray the Lord to you through
For you've got the fu. boy, you've got the Au.
When your toes curl up and your belt goes nat,
And you're twice as mean as q Thomas cat,
And life is a long and dismal curse,
And your food all tastes like q hard-boiled
hearse,
When your lattice aches and your heads a-buzs.
And nothing IL as it ever was,
Here are my sad regrets to you,
You've got the 6u, boy. you've got the An.
What is 1t like. this Spanish nu?
Ask me. brothers. fer I've been through;
It Is by misery, out of despair,
It pulls your teeth and curIs your hair,
It thins your blood and brays your bones.

TREATMENTS ANNUAL BALL COMING EVENT
 OF THE SEASON

The Firemen's Annual Ball schedul, ed to take place on Easter Monday night, promises to be an unusually brilliant affair for several reasons. first, because it is the first big affair given since the signing of the armis- tice, and second because of the large number of men in uniform who have returned, and indeed what gives a more dashing touch to Ball than a goodly sprinkling of Army and Navy uniforms.
 The Bremen, moreover, are noted entertainers and even they have set out to out-do their former achieve ments in the dance line and glance at the names of the committees bel low will assure anyone in doubt as to their capability.
 The following committees were ap- pointed at the last meeting of the Fire men and will be responsible for the good time of their many guests.
