~ GIRLS HIKE
100 KILOMETRES
IN FOUR DAYS
On Recent Migration Of the Penn
Division From Souiliy Area to
Chaumont District.

Greek women in an age that is past
accompanied the ten thousand in
their campaign across Persia, accord
ing to Zenophon's report, and the A.
E. F. now are hearing Of the march
of four ''Y' girls attached to the 316th
Infantry who hiked with the unit 104
kilometers in four days, at oppor-
tune times distributing cookies and
chocolate to doughboys and officers.
This was on the recent southwark
migration of the Pennsylvania divi-
sion from the Souilly area to the
Chaumont district It was a hike
through snow, rain and mud, which
tested the hardened combat troops
laden with full equipment, 80 the
boys knew it was a trying march for
the girls, and wherever they appeared
the young women were cheered.
Their supply of leafs" and cigarettes
were obtained from a heavily laden
truck in the Y. M G. A. service.
The Lorraine Cross, the 10th Ddvi-
sion newspaper, has praised the ser
vice given by the girls, Miss Leonora

"On April LIST Miss Johnston and
Miss Chamberlain led the singing Of
the second battalion as it marched
into Trampot, and Miss Davidson and
Miss Olson swung along ahead of the
band as it played the Headquarters
Company into Orquevaux. During
the whole hike, by a word of encour'
cement, jest of challenge, and mos
of all by their presence, they kept IL
| the ranks the few men who nigh
otherwise have lost spirit and droppet
out. The whole S16th rs might!

SOLDIERS HOME
FROM OVERSEAS
ENJOY CANTEEN
Newly Invented Red Cross Bun
PIeases capricious Palate
of Returning Doughboy.

Whether sea breezes have whetted
their appetites or whether overseas ex-
periences have made them hungrier men
nobody seems to know, but every can
teen worker is ready to bear testimony
that returning doughboys do greater
justice to the "eats" provided them by
the Red Cross than have soldiers at
any time during hostilities
"We've welcomed returning Sammies
with 491, 156 sandwiches and 1905, 100
cups Of coffee during the last five
months" a canteen worker said the
other day, land it would do you good
to see the way those boys fall to- OIL
what they call Red Cross chow OF
course there is no charge-we just
give 'em the goodies as they come"
Not only "chow" but stamps and sta
tionery are given away at the can
teens to the recently landed soldier,
for often tt>S boys have no money and
everybody is Invariably eager to send
a letter to the home folks at the first
opportunity.
Introduce New Bun.
Then there are sweets. When, a
chap hasn't had even sugar for his
coffee in many a month, a honest-to-
goodness sweet Is like a gift from
heaven. The Red Cross knows all
about this and Atlantic Division can
teens have added sugar-coated buns
to the toothsome leafs" which they
give way.
Shortly after the bun dispensing was
started 1t was found that the much
coveted sugar icing rubbed off the top
and so the poor soldier often lost the
best part Of the treat. For which
reason some nimble witted woman de-
cided to put the icing inside the bun
just as jelly is placed inside a jelly
roll. 1t was tried. 1t worked. And
now scores Of doughboys daily pass out
of Red Cross canteens promising to
spread the fame of that bun even unto
the remotest parts Of these United
States. Mothers and wives are to be
initiated into the mysteries Of its con-
| coction (the recipe having been care
| fully obtained from canteen worker)
and the doughboy will see his home
table graced with the Red Cross bun
long after his sword has been beaten
| into ploughshare.
Besides these things the canteens of
the division have given out soap and
tobacco, iced drinks and playing cards,
candy and all manner of unexepect-
ed "sundries" like eye shades and
paper towels. In short, the Allan
tic Division canteens have stood
with open door and we'll stocked
shelves and larders, reckoning in and
serving every man from overseas from
the time his foot first touches Amer.
lean soil until he reaches home.

1915 to 11:30 games of different
kinds were played, and at IL: 80 the
morning swim was on. During the
swim a boat was constantly patrol

trolling around the float. AS an
added precaution no boys were al
lowed out at the float unless they
could swim out from shore, and one
of the leaders was always standing
on the float to watch for accidents.
Dinner was held at 1890. At 2:30
