Time for Informality

There were times when it was def
nitely a disadvantage to be COM
missioned or non-commissioned officer
in the American forces.
This was particularly true when the
Germans were sweeping the paths of
the Argonne forest and associated
bois with machine gun bullets, and
when they were spraying the cross
roads of the Meuse-Argonne battle
field with their assorted ash cans of
high explosives to pile men and horses
together in a CHASTITY heap. Such de-
fensive fighting by the enemy allows
him to sit back of the old gun sights
and pick out the leaders of an attack.
The officers recognized the fact that
they were supplying more than their
average in casualties. Whenever pos
sible they did something about IT.
One of these occasions is said to have
been the arrival of a runner at the
front in search Of his major.
This major was well known and
well liked. His roly-poly appearance.
his pointed beard and his frank express
sions had made him popular with the
soldiers. He led them in attacks and
he wasn't afraid. However, the major
was distinctly annoyed when the run
ner, arrived at the spot where the
major and his men were digging in,
yelled at the top of his voice: ooh.

"How many times have / told you
not to do that 7" demanded the major,
rising from his resting place. Every

In the words of the soldiers, the
Australian and American troops were
the firmest friends of the World war
because they talked the same Ian

This friendship, according to popular
belief. was cemented shortly after the
first contingent of American soldiers
arrived in France.
Some of the American advance
troops resented remarks poked at them
by a group of Aussies in a Paris rail-
way station. the accepted legend has

the dead and wounded of both sides
