AS an example Of the morale eX-
listing among Uncle Sans boys, Pri-
waite Donald Maso, Camp B, 9th Bat
TALON A E. R. T. c., a lancer in
Americas laundering Division, takes
time out to write the following
rhymes. He is not a local boy, but,
no doubt, his sentiments are echoed
by many of Eastern Shore sons now
in the uniform of their country.
His verse is entitled: Devil and
Hitler. Hitler Phones for Reserva-
tons:
Hitler called the Devil on the tele-
phone one day;
The girl at central listened to all
he had to say,
Hello! ('twas Hitler speaking) us
Old Man Satan home?"
Just tell him it's the Dictator who
wants him on the phone"
The Devil said, "Howdy! Adolph,'
And Hitler said: "How are you?"
I'm running He'll on earth so tell, me
what to do"
"What can I do?" the Devil said, dear
old pal Of mine,
You don't need any help from me
you're doing mighty fine"
Eyes, l was doing might fine until
some time ago,
When a man, called Uncle Sam, told
me to go slow.
He said to me Dear Hitler,
We don't want to be unkind,
But you've raised He'll enough
So you better change your mind.
l thought his lease-lend plan was just
bluff,
And he'd never put it through,
But soon he put me on the spot,
When he told me what to do;
So that's why I called you, Satan, l
need advice from you,
For I know that you can tell me ex-
actly what to do"
Satan said, Dear Partner, there is
not much for me to tell,
For Uncle Sam will made it hotter
than 1 can here in He'll.
I have been a real old Devil, but not
nc moan as Won.
So the minute you get down here,
the job is yours to do,
I'll be ready for your coming;
ri keep fires all bright.
And I'll get your room all ready

that in March Of this year there was

has charge Of the athletics Of Com
pany C, Fort Custer, Michigan:
On Saturday afternoon, Company
C hit its stride and amassed total
of 70 points in a track and field meet
with companies A, B, D, and Head
quarters Company Of the 18th Infan-
try.
Company C's tug-o-war teams,
both heavy and light, gave an eX-
cellent account Of themselves by win
ming two firsts.
Jacobs and Kasecky. the horseshoe
team OF Company c, came from be
hind in the third and deciding game
to gain a victory. Both men pitched
equally well.
The best drilled MOO in the batal-
lion went to Sergeant Arnett of Com
pany c. In the event entitled, the
best drilled private, Pvt. Schwartz,
of Company c won first place. This
goes to show that the ability to drill
correctly has not been neglected by
either the NCO's or the privates Of
Company c.
In the tent pitching and equipment
display event Company c won very
easily. Corporal Triplett and Ser
geant Wilson easily showed the way
in this particular event. Corporal
Lusby gave a good account of him
self in the 6O-yard dash with gas
masks by placing second.
In the cross country run, which
was one of the last events of the af-
ternoon, Company c totaled the sum
of q points which was the highest
number gotten by any other company.
The obstacle course relay was one OF
the most difficult events of the meet
and Company C's team won handily.
This meet on Saturday wildly
showed the team spirit that has
grown up between the members OF
Company c, 18th Infantry.
Results of Field meet: 1st place.
Company c, 70 points; 2nd place,
Company B, 40; 3rd place, Company

SGT. Russell A. Pussy, who IS sta
toned at Fort Hancock, N. j., contri-
butes the following account illustrat-
ing the vivid imagination Nazis, and
their strenuous propaganda regime.
The article is clipped from the San
DIV Hook Fog Horn, published at
Fort Hancock:
For some strange reason, the Bef-
lin radio is making much to do this
week about the Sandy Hook light
house being extinguished for the first
time since 1854, according to Yank,
the Army newspaper.
The light was not put out, says
Berlin; it was knocked out by Ger
man sailor named Zimmerman.
Zimmerman nimbly leaped ashore
from his submarine and gaily threw
hand grenades Eat the 4OO-foot tow
err, the Nazis insist.
Yank adds that Berlin makes no
attempt to explain how Brother Zlm-
mermann could have wiggled through
the defenses at Fort Hancock, which
also happens to be on Sandy Hook"
This is an historic event, gentle
men.
It is the second time in the his
tory of the old lighthouse that
single man has been able to extln-
guish it's brilliant beam.
Back one night in 1776 Capt. John
Conover, Revolutionary War patriot,
climbed the lighthouse and smashed
it's light in an effort to hamper Brit
ish ships from making their way up
Sandy Hook Bay and into New York
harbor.
But Herr Zimmermann's feat is
even more amazing.
For one thing, according to history
books. the tower was only 80 feet
high in those days. In fact, it was
only 80 feet last week when the Fog
horn reported the lighthouse black
out.
But perhaps it grows. The Fog
horn staff will investigate this at the
first opportunity.
For another thing, Herr thinner
mann eluded the able defenders of
modern Fort Hancock-that means
you, soldier. And you know how good
you are.
Of course, officials will attempt to
rob Herr Zimmerman of his glory
