Maj. Gen. John j. Organ. who has
just returned from France, has
brought back q number Of humorous
stories OF the battlefield. Here is one
he tells about an English sentinel:
1.-The Twenty-seventh division was in
Flanders, where it rains almost con-
tinuously," began the general. There
were English troops bi1Ieted near by.
One night, after a particularly hard
rain, this English chap was on duty.
When he thought no one was around
he began to curse everything in gen.
eral. the weather. the Germans and
his own luck. oh. say. this is
blawsted weather. dontcha know.
wish was out of this beastly mud
the English sentry muttered. few
minutes later he was cursing the rain
which beat in his face. 'Gawd. but
wish I was out Of this be&stly water
he unused again. Just then the Ger
mans opened a heavy fire and made
things uncomfortable for everyone
oh, Gawd. but this is beastly,' said
the sentry, raising his voice. oh,
do hate those blawsted Germans. I
wish / were dead simultaneously
with his last words big Minnie
dropped almost at the sentry's feet.
When he recovered he was lying in
hole covered with mud but unipjured.
The sentry sat up. rubbed the mud
from his eyes. and then gazing heav-
onward, said. oh, l say. Gawd, cawn't
you take a blawsted joker "-New

We despair sometimes when we look and
listen at what is going ON about us. oh.
Amercanism. what crimes and hypocrisieS
are being practiccd in thy name.

his vote cancelled by n vote that can be
bought anywher" from SO to 500. and it
looks rs if the price would advance. for
another Ri"hm0nd is in the field
There are several thousand naturaiizN
