many months and the two boys had a
long chat about old time and friends.
Sergeant McAllister deserves much
credit for his work in front line duty

is like the other heroes of the keystone
State.-very quiet when his name is
mentioned in connection with any un-
usual act.
Sergeant Wilbur n. Potter, 634 Reilly
street, in service for three years, was
wounded at Fismette while in action.

raids November 2 and bringing
! in a bunch of Hun prisoners and
! then he was advanced from corporal
! TO sergeant.
Dutch got a new gun November
! ?, some of the other noncoms say,
and he just did things up in general
| from that time on when he went
dc TnIy yiY,Tr
that if the war had lasted about a
month longer Dutch" would have
brought in about three regiments in
small lunches.

When Baughman Made Good
In Company d barracks they tell
about how Private Ralph Baugh-
man, North Sixth street, Harrisburg,
made good with the boys. During
a lull he started for the company
camp on a water wagon. While
crossing a field Jerry" got busy
with a barrage that sent the driver
of the wagon scurrying to cover.
! Baughman stuck on the wagon, kept
on driving and got the water to the
company.
Luther Mclaughlin in addition to
/ fighting helped along in amusing the
boys who now call him the silver
| toned tenor" Luther sang for them
very often together with few others
among them Benjamin +. Foose, 219
Chestnut street.
! Benjamin II. Coyle put one over
on the boys last year while they
were still at Hancock Ben is all
right, the fellows say. but he tried
his hand at potpie, and since then
they tell him to stay out of the kit
chen.
The boys are doing lots of talk
ing about the splendid work of the
| various organizations ABROAD, IN
Guiding the Red Cross, Y. NJ. C. A.,
Knights of Columbus, and other
similar ones, but it seems the Sal
vation Army has them talking the
most. At least it sounds that way
around Companies d and l billets.
Fright up in the thick of it with
us handing out doughnuts," one of
the boys said. MY hats off to the
Salvation Army and you can tell the
folks in advance that we're sure go
ing to boost that crowd when we
get home. How about it fellows"
| A chorus of assent came from lit

marks. "I never paid much atten-
ton to that organization before I

seas with us and there wasn't any
thing they wouldn't do to help a
