May 3, 1919. THE POP-VALVE Page 4.
-- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
Sgt. Johnson of the 1st Trades School Co,
knows exactly how long the wall along the road
from town is, for he measured it with his hands
the other night. No, this is not one of the lessons
of the school -- the Sgt, only wanted to be sure
of getting to the camp on this dark and stormy
night!
Four members of the Band and Hqrs fought
the battle of Nice, recently: M E. Clyde Carter,
Corp. Wyant Dinsmore, Mus. Dave Saylor and
Pvt. 1cl (Speed) Val. Woods. From the tales
they bring back about Speed and the tales he
tells himself, it must have been a tough Guerre
for the M.P.'s, down that way.
"Bucknell Bill" Keiser, certainly added to the
beauty of the camp with the flower garden he
installed at Hqrs. In one he has the arrow of
hope pointing to Hoboken, but the anchor of
duty holds it in Nevers. Theres a sad story
connected with the purchase of the seeds and
flowers, just look at the Top Kicker's neck and
figure it out.
Bugler Alexander of "109" has a new stunt.
he prefaces his calls with a little song entitled:
"Com'awn git the rag out, one TWO"! This
always starts an argument but Pvt Beckham is
one who does'nt take part and says he won't as
long as the bugler does'nt play: "How dry I an".
Freddie Wild sure has faith in the future,
thinks "110", judging by the purchases he has
been making lately to take back to his girl. No,
he did'nt buy a diamond ring, his purchases
were laps ahead of that, -- lots of real dainty
things!
"Doc" Johnson is trying to figure out whether
it would be better to stay in Nevers or sign up
with the Army of Occupation, while "Indiana"
Stafford says if he could have a month more at
Monte Carlo with the girls, he'd be willing to
stay another year. Boy! Page the recruiting
Officers, and send him over to "110".
Joe Damrow, the "W.K." Co Clerk of "110"
and Corp. Delaney have returned from Paris.
Joe says he don't blame the Peace Commission
for stalling in that burg, but Delaney just
mopes around looking wistful and lonely. It
musta been a tough Battle, Del.
Sgts. Leo Isenogle and R. N. Jones of "116"
made their usual Sunday afternoon call a certain
quiet little maison in Nevers where jones got
away witch his usual line of entertainment, and
made his usual hit with the fair ones. Leo was
the audience.
Frank Zink, Roy Cheever, William Figart,
Charles Leddy, Robert Sauer and Guy Wilson
of "116" just returned from a vacation spent at
Nice. It does'nt sound possible, but one of these
fellows actually admitted that Nice was almost
as attractive as Altoona, Penna.
During last Saturdays inspection it developed
that Private Charlie Spicer of "109" had conce-
aled everything under his bunk but the transport
on which he expects to return to the United
States.
Sergeant Swetsky traded coats with Sergeant
Gallegher the other day and when "Jake" found
out that the Harp had taken him over' he col-
lapsed and had to be given First Aid and ended
up in the Infirmary where fellow members of
"109" may visit him
If present plans are carried out, next weeks
number will contain two additional pages, one
of which will be used for company items, dou-
bling the space now devoted to them. If you
hear any real good ones, tip off your company
representative.
Now that the allotment of Paris leaves has
been increased, everybody ought to get a look
at the Dream City of the World. Look it over
and you won't blame old Bill Hohenzollern for
wanting to eat there.
"Buck" McGarvey of "120" is a dog lover
and he's anxious to get back to his hunting
outfit in Altoona. But he does'nt think much
of Brigham's taste in dogs if the one he brought
home the other night is Brig's idea of a ribbon
winner.
Its too bad that Bugler Dave Coulter did'nt
take Herby Woods along with him to Nice for
he would'nt have had so much trouble with the
sail-boat he hired. According to a number of
witnesses, Dave was headed straight for Ho-
boken when a friendly wind wafted his craft
back to France, and the 120th Company.
Manager Pfister of "121's." baseball team
dreamed the other night that is bunch had won
the Camp league loving cup, and started yelling
for some one to hand him the cup. Private
Dickie went to the kitchen, brought back a
coffee pitcher and placed it in the dreamer's
arms. And now Mess Sergeant Lake is looking
for the pitcher.
And Jimie Kent of "121" had a dream too.
Jimmie was mixed up in a mess of Parisian
subways, cafes, taxicabs and mam'selles when
W. G. Rittershouse woke him up to hear the
beautiful notes of Reveille being wafted on the
frosty air currents.
"Oklahoma Pete" A. A. Cooper has a habit
of letting loose a flock of wild and wolly yells
in his sleep. Some night the gang is going to
break him of the habit with a little object
lesson that may leave the leather lunged one
in bad shape.
The first day of May, or "May-Day" as the
French term it, is a holiday on the order of
the American Labor Day. In past years the
celebration of it has been rather stremous and
something like what would occur if America
tried to celebrat the 17th of March and July
12th on May 1st. This years celebration is
expected to be quite peaceful on account of the
French Government's acceeding to the "eight-
hour-day" demand of the Socialists.
This leave business is "knocking "117's" men
for a row and this condition is quite noticeable
in Sgt. Frank Smith, a veteran of the Paris
trenches. Frank shakes a wicked "Bon Soir"
these days and acts sort of skeptical.
While repairing a locomotive at the shops,
Private Eddie Snyder of "117" was painfully
injured when a cross head fell on his left foot.
But Eddie is coming along fine and is expecting
the accident to mean a quick trip to America
for him.
The only and much loved bugler of "118",
John N. Fowler, has written to the National
Employment Bureau of the U. S. for a list of
positions in civil life for which an Army Bugler
is best qualified. From this we take it that
John is figuring on going to work.
Private Rose of "118" returned from a trip
to Monaco this week and while he had a good
time, he is pretty much peeved because he was
not permitted to try his luck at the Casino
which is closed to men in O.D. That rule saved
the bank from being busted a couple of times
because Louis is the luckiest man in the outfit.
Corp. Theurer, Paul Poekert and B. O. Ratliff
of "116" have just returned from the Battle of
Paris where they observed the Mademoiselles
in their Easter finery. They report that it was
hard to recognize their old friends, so vast was
the change the finery made.
Sgt Jawn Schaner, truck dispatcher for the
Camp, finds the daily battle with the Mess
Sergeants a tough one. Jawn calls the Eatery
gents a bunch of "cold sores" and, it is rumored,
carries a horseshoe around in his glove. Co.
117 is going to appoint 'Am I right or wrong"
Tommie Tomlinson as a commite of one to
investigate the truck situation.
Corp. Ernest Fuller has solved the problem of
esd rting his mam'selle friend home from the
cances. His system includes an artistic scheme
of camouflage which can't be beat and Erney
ought to furnish his many friends in "118"
with the details. If he does, it will surely be
appreciated by them if they can get by as nicely
as he did the other night.
"Pete" Rosa has grabbed a nice new job as
Barracks Boss in No. 38 of "119's" buildings,
relieving C.P. Zwick who has left us temporar-
ily. Pete is a good man and ought to be a
great help to Top Kicker Morgan in getting
the sleepy ones out in the morning.
Members of "119" are requested not to make
remarks about Eddie Hartman's budding mous-
tache as he is a little sensitive about it. Please
give him a chance for he says that in a month
or so, he will have Bainer Cool's pride looking
like an old tooth brush.
The Doughnut Quartette of "119" is trying
out three new tenors: "Ginger" Jeannette,
"Cootie" Obrien, and "Bill" MacInerny, and
the manager, "Nutmeg" O'Neil is writing a
little opera entitled: "Pity the Poor Prune
Pickers".
Top Sergt. Atwwod and Mess Sgt. Aichelman
of "120" have both received their orders to
proceed to U.S.A. and have already started on
their journey. Cook Baker and Sgt. T. P. Todd
are the prospective successors to the positions
of Mess and Top Sergeants, respectevely.
The Band was a large part of the recent three
day party at Clermont and its members had the
time of their young lives in that zippy town.
Every one of them figured in some kind of a
stunt but Sgt. Bugler Jack Hein took the dog
with his offering -- Jack took a trip with a
French Aviator and passed over Camp Stephen-
son on Sunday morning, a thousand feet in the
air.
Mechanic Wolff of Hqrs who is now in Hos-
pital 28 has improved so much during the last
week that he espects to be back in the hands of
his chief athletic trainer -- "Whisperin' Ed"
Bohlmann -- in a very few days.
Leo Taillon of Hqrs, danced his way into
fame at the last camp dance, and is now shar-
ing honors with Harry Morgan, Arty Brown
and Harry Palmer as the most popular man at
the weekly dances. Leo specialzes on Moonlight
stuff and the girls fight to dance with him.
Professor Kassor of the Medics has been
awarded the title of soup expert and his 95 diffe-
rent soup-notes can be hard by any company
mess that will provide the soup.
The Medical detachment is working on a list
of "Donts" for those who attend the ceremony
known as Sick Call. Among other items will be
one requesting that the fellows who get marked
"Duty" not get sore, as someone has to work.
The P.W.E. Co. will be very lonesome when
its old side-kick, the 33d Engrs, leaves for the
U.S.A. but some of the gloom will be lifted,
according to Pvt. Tommy Lent, by the hand
some red face of Pvt. Martian Shea, who bright-
ens up the barracks at night.
Corp. Jerry O'Neill, the tallest man in the
P.W.E. Co., is perfectly satisfield with his
present Job. Jerry is a typical Irish policeman
and will probably have a lot of fun with the
newly-made Corporal A.M. Van Atta when Andy
gets the nice white chevrons his ex-bunkie
claims he's been trying to find for his best
clothes.
P.W.E. Co. 240 has an entry for the title of
biggest eater of the A.E.F., in the person of
Corp. Abe Bloom. He's always first in line and
last out, and is friendly with the whole kitchen
force. Abe's middle name is "seconds" and he
lives up to it.

Barracks Boss in No. 38 of "119's" buildings,
relieving C.P. Zwick who has left us temporar-
ily. Pete is a good man and ought to be a
great help to Top Kicker Morgan in getting
the sleepy ones out in the morning.
Members of "119" are requested not to make
remarks about Eddie Hartman's budding mous-
tache as he is a little sensitive about it. Please
give him a chance for he says that in a month
or so, he will have Bainer Cool's pride looking
like an old tooth brush.
The Doughnut Quartette of "119" is trying
out three new tenors: "Ginger" Jeannette,
"Cootie" Obrien, and "Bill" MacInerny, and
the manager, "Nutmeg" O'Neil is writing a
little opera entitled: "Pity the Poor Prune
Pickers".
Top Sergt. Atwwod and Mess Sgt. Aichelman
of "120" have both received their orders to
proceed to U.S.A. and have already started on
their journey. Cook Baker and Sgt. T. P. Todd
are the prospective successors to the positions
of Mess and Top Sergeants, respectevely.
The Band was a large part of the recent three
day party at Clermont and its members had the
time of their young lives in that zippy town.
Every one of them figured in some kind of a
stunt but Sgt. Bugler Jack Hein took the dog
with his offering -- Jack took a trip with a
French Aviator and passed over Camp Stephen-
son on Sunday morning, a thousand feet in the
air.
Mechanic Wolff of Hqrs who is now in Hos-
pital 28 has improved so much during the last
week that he espects to be back in the hands of
his chief athletic trainer -- "Whisperin' Ed"
Bohlmann -- in a very few days.
Leo Taillon of Hqrs, danced his way into
fame at the last camp dance, and is now shar-
ing honors with Harry Morgan, Arty Brown
and Harry Palmer as the most popular man at
the weekly dances. Leo specialzes on Moonlight
stuff and the girls fight to dance with him.
Professor Kassor of the Medics has been
awarded the title of soup expert and his 95 diffe-
rent soup-notes can be hard by any company
mess that will provide the soup.
The Medical detachment is working on a list
of "Donts" for those who attend the ceremony
known as Sick Call. Among other items will be
one requesting that the fellows who get marked
"Duty" not get sore, as someone has to work.

May 3, 1919. THE POP-VALVE Page 4.
-- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
Sgt. Johnson of the 1st Trades School Co,
knows exactly how long the wall along the road
from town is, for he measured it with his hands
the other night. No, this is not one of the lessons
of the school -- the Sgt, only wanted to be sure
of getting to the camp on this dark and stormy
night!
Four members of the Band and Hqrs fought
the battle of Nice, recently: M E. Clyde Carter,
Corp. Wyant Dinsmore, Mus. Dave Saylor and
Pvt. 1cl (Speed) Val. Woods. From the tales
they bring back about Speed and the tales he
tells himself, it must have been a tough Guerre
for the M.P.'s, down that way.
"Bucknell Bill" Keiser, certainly added to the
beauty of the camp with the flower garden he
installed at Hqrs. In one he has the arrow of
hope pointing to Hoboken, but the anchor of
duty holds it in Nevers. Theres a sad story
connected with the purchase of the seeds and
flowers, just look at the Top Kicker's neck and
figure it out.
Bugler Alexander of "109" has a new stunt.
he prefaces his calls with a little song entitled:
"Com'awn git the rag out, one TWO"! This
always starts an argument but Pvt Beckham is
one who does'nt take part and says he won't as
long as the bugler does'nt play: "How dry I an".
Freddie Wild sure has faith in the future,
thinks "110", judging by the purchases he has
been making lately to take back to his girl. No,
he did'nt buy a diamond ring, his purchases
were laps ahead of that, -- lots of real dainty
things!
"Doc" Johnson is trying to figure out whether
it would be better to stay in Nevers or sign up
with the Army of Occupation, while "Indiana"
Stafford says if he could have a month more at
Monte Carlo with the girls, he'd be willing to
stay another year. Boy! Page the recruiting
Officers, and send him over to "110".
Joe Damrow, the "W.K." Co Clerk of "110"
and Corp. Delaney have returned from Paris.
Joe says he don't blame the Peace Commission
for stalling in that burg, but Delaney just
mopes around looking wistful and lonely. It
musta been a tough Battle, Del.
Sgts. Leo Isenogle and R. N. Jones of "116"
made their usual Sunday afternoon call a certain
quiet little maison in Nevers where jones got
away witch his usual line of entertainment, and
made his usual hit with the fair ones. Leo was
the audience.
Frank Zink, Roy Cheever, William Figart,
Charles Leddy, Robert Sauer and Guy Wilson
of "116" just returned from a vacation spent at
Nice. It does'nt sound possible, but one of these
fellows actually admitted that Nice was almost
as attractive as Altoona, Penna.
During last Saturdays inspection it developed
that Private Charlie Spicer of "109" had conce-
aled everything under his bunk but the transport
on which he expects to return to the United
States.
Sergeant Swetsky traded coats with Sergeant
Gallegher the other day and when "Jake" found
out that the Harp had taken him over' he col-
lapsed and had to be given First Aid and ended
up in the Infirmary where fellow members of
"109" may visit him
If present plans are carried out, next weeks
number will contain two additional pages, one
of which will be used for company items, dou-
bling the space now devoted to them. If you
hear any real good ones, tip off your company
representative.
Now that the allotment of Paris leaves has
been increased, everybody ought to get a look
at the Dream City of the World. Look it over
and you won't blame old Bill Hohenzollern for
wanting to eat there.
"Buck" McGarvey of "120" is a dog lover
and he's anxious to get back to his hunting
outfit in Altoona. But he does'nt think much
of Brigham's taste in dogs if the one he brought
home the other night is Brig's idea of a ribbon
winner.
Its too bad that Bugler Dave Coulter did'nt
take Herby Woods along with him to Nice for
he would'nt have had so much trouble with the
sail-boat he hired. According to a number of
witnesses, Dave was headed straight for Ho-
boken when a friendly wind wafted his craft
back to France, and the 120th Company.
Manager Pfister of "121's." baseball team
dreamed the other night that is bunch had won
the Camp league loving cup, and started yelling
for some one to hand him the cup. Private
Dickie went to the kitchen, brought back a
coffee pitcher and placed it in the dreamer's
arms. And now Mess Sergeant Lake is looking
for the pitcher.
And Jimie Kent of "121" had a dream too.
Jimmie was mixed up in a mess of Parisian
subways, cafes, taxicabs and mam'selles when
W. G. Rittershouse woke him up to hear the
beautiful notes of Reveille being wafted on the
frosty air currents.
"Oklahoma Pete" A. A. Cooper has a habit
of letting loose a flock of wild and wolly yells
in his sleep. Some night the gang is going to
break him of the habit with a little object
lesson that may leave the leather lunged one
in bad shape.
The first day of May, or "May-Day" as the
French term it, is a holiday on the order of
the American Labor Day. In past years the
celebration of it has been rather stremous and
something like what would occur if America
tried to celebrat the 17th of March and July
12th on May 1st. This years celebration is
expected to be quite peaceful on account of the
French Government's acceeding to the "eight-
hour-day" demand of the Socialists.
This leave business is "knocking "117's" men
for a row and this condition is quite noticeable
in Sgt. Frank Smith, a veteran of the Paris
trenches. Frank shakes a wicked "Bon Soir"
these days and acts sort of skeptical.
While repairing a locomotive at the shops,
Private Eddie Snyder of "117" was painfully
injured when a cross head fell on his left foot.
But Eddie is coming along fine and is expecting
the accident to mean a quick trip to America
for him.
The only and much loved bugler of "118",
John N. Fowler, has written to the National
Employment Bureau of the U. S. for a list of
positions in civil life for which an Army Bugler
is best qualified. From this we take it that
John is figuring on going to work.
Private Rose of "118" returned from a trip
to Monaco this week and while he had a good
time, he is pretty much peeved because he was
not permitted to try his luck at the Casino
which is closed to men in O.D. That rule saved
the bank from being busted a couple of times
because Louis is the luckiest man in the outfit.
Corp. Theurer, Paul Poekert and B. O. Ratliff
of "116" have just returned from the Battle of
Paris where they observed the Mademoiselles
in their Easter finery. They report that it was
hard to recognize their old friends, so vast was
the change the finery made.
Sgt Jawn Schaner, truck dispatcher for the
Camp, finds the daily battle with the Mess
Sergeants a tough one. Jawn calls the Eatery
gents a bunch of "cold sores" and, it is rumored,
carries a horseshoe around in his glove. Co.
117 is going to appoint 'Am I right or wrong"
Tommie Tomlinson as a commite of one to
investigate the truck situation.
Corp. Ernest Fuller has solved the problem of
esd rting his mam'selle friend home from the
cances. His system includes an artistic scheme
of camouflage which can't be beat and Erney
ought to furnish his many friends in "118"
with the details. If he does, it will surely be
appreciated by them if they can get by as nicely
as he did the other night.
"Pete" Rosa has grabbed a nice new job as

Members of "119" are requested not to make
remarks about Eddie Hartman's budding mous-
tache as he is a little sensitive about it. Please
give him a chance for he says that in a month
or so, he will have Bainer Cool's pride looking
like an old tooth brush.
The Doughnut Quartette of "119" is trying
out three new tenors: "Ginger" Jeannette,
"Cootie" Obrien, and "Bill" MacInerny, and
the manager, "Nutmeg" O'Neil is writing a
little opera entitled: "Pity the Poor Prune

May 3, 1919. THE POP-VALVE Page 4.
-- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
Sgt. Johnson of the 1st Trades School Co,
knows exactly how long the wall along the road
from town is, for he measured it with his hands
the other night. No, this is not one of the lessons
of the school -- the Sgt, only wanted to be sure
of getting to the camp on this dark and stormy
night!
Four members of the Band and Hqrs fought
the battle of Nice, recently: M E. Clyde Carter,
Corp. Wyant Dinsmore, Mus. Dave Saylor and
Pvt. 1cl (Speed) Val. Woods. From the tales
they bring back about Speed and the tales he
tells himself, it must have been a tough Guerre
for the M.P.'s, down that way.
"Bucknell Bill" Keiser, certainly added to the
beauty of the camp with the flower garden he
installed at Hqrs. In one he has the arrow of
hope pointing to Hoboken, but the anchor of
duty holds it in Nevers. Theres a sad story
connected with the purchase of the seeds and
flowers, just look at the Top Kicker's neck and
figure it out.
Bugler Alexander of "109" has a new stunt.
he prefaces his calls with a little song entitled:
"Com'awn git the rag out, one TWO"! This
always starts an argument but Pvt Beckham is
one who does'nt take part and says he won't as
long as the bugler does'nt play: "How dry I an".
Freddie Wild sure has faith in the future,
thinks "110", judging by the purchases he has
been making lately to take back to his girl. No,
he did'nt buy a diamond ring, his purchases
were laps ahead of that, -- lots of real dainty
things!
"Doc" Johnson is trying to figure out whether
it would be better to stay in Nevers or sign up
with the Army of Occupation, while "Indiana"
Stafford says if he could have a month more at
Monte Carlo with the girls, he'd be willing to
stay another year. Boy! Page the recruiting
Officers, and send him over to "110".
Joe Damrow, the "W.K." Co Clerk of "110"
and Corp. Delaney have returned from Paris.
Joe says he don't blame the Peace Commission
for stalling in that burg, but Delaney just
mopes around looking wistful and lonely. It
musta been a tough Battle, Del.
Sgts. Leo Isenogle and R. N. Jones of "116"
made their usual Sunday afternoon call a certain
quiet little maison in Nevers where jones got
away witch his usual line of entertainment, and
made his usual hit with the fair ones. Leo was
the audience.
Frank Zink, Roy Cheever, William Figart,
Charles Leddy, Robert Sauer and Guy Wilson
of "116" just returned from a vacation spent at
Nice. It does'nt sound possible, but one of these
fellows actually admitted that Nice was almost
as attractive as Altoona, Penna.
During last Saturdays inspection it developed
that Private Charlie Spicer of "109" had conce-
aled everything under his bunk but the transport
on which he expects to return to the United
States.
Sergeant Swetsky traded coats with Sergeant
Gallegher the other day and when "Jake" found
out that the Harp had taken him over' he col-
lapsed and had to be given First Aid and ended
up in the Infirmary where fellow members of
"109" may visit him
If present plans are carried out, next weeks
number will contain two additional pages, one
of which will be used for company items, dou-
bling the space now devoted to them. If you
hear any real good ones, tip off your company
representative.
Now that the allotment of Paris leaves has
been increased, everybody ought to get a look
at the Dream City of the World. Look it over
and you won't blame old Bill Hohenzollern for
wanting to eat there.
"Buck" McGarvey of "120" is a dog lover
and he's anxious to get back to his hunting
outfit in Altoona. But he does'nt think much
of Brigham's taste in dogs if the one he brought
home the other night is Brig's idea of a ribbon
winner.
Its too bad that Bugler Dave Coulter did'nt
take Herby Woods along with him to Nice for
he would'nt have had so much trouble with the
sail-boat he hired. According to a number of
witnesses, Dave was headed straight for Ho-
boken when a friendly wind wafted his craft
back to France, and the 120th Company.
Manager Pfister of "121's." baseball team
dreamed the other night that is bunch had won
the Camp league loving cup, and started yelling
for some one to hand him the cup. Private
Dickie went to the kitchen, brought back a
coffee pitcher and placed it in the dreamer's
arms. And now Mess Sergeant Lake is looking
for the pitcher.
And Jimie Kent of "121" had a dream too.
Jimmie was mixed up in a mess of Parisian
subways, cafes, taxicabs and mam'selles when
W. G. Rittershouse woke him up to hear the
beautiful notes of Reveille being wafted on the
frosty air currents.
"Oklahoma Pete" A. A. Cooper has a habit
of letting loose a flock of wild and wolly yells
in his sleep. Some night the gang is going to
break him of the habit with a little object
lesson that may leave the leather lunged one
in bad shape.
The first day of May, or "May-Day" as the
French term it, is a holiday on the order of
the American Labor Day. In past years the
celebration of it has been rather stremous and
something like what would occur if America
tried to celebrat the 17th of March and July
12th on May 1st. This years celebration is
expected to be quite peaceful on account of the
French Government's acceeding to the "eight-
hour-day" demand of the Socialists.
This leave business is "knocking "117's" men
for a row and this condition is quite noticeable
in Sgt. Frank Smith, a veteran of the Paris
trenches. Frank shakes a wicked "Bon Soir"
these days and acts sort of skeptical.
While repairing a locomotive at the shops,
Private Eddie Snyder of "117" was painfully
injured when a cross head fell on his left foot.
But Eddie is coming along fine and is expecting
the accident to mean a quick trip to America
for him.
The only and much loved bugler of "118",
John N. Fowler, has written to the National
Employment Bureau of the U. S. for a list of
positions in civil life for which an Army Bugler
is best qualified. From this we take it that
John is figuring on going to work.
Private Rose of "118" returned from a trip
to Monaco this week and while he had a good
time, he is pretty much peeved because he was
not permitted to try his luck at the Casino
which is closed to men in O.D. That rule saved
the bank from being busted a couple of times
because Louis is the luckiest man in the outfit.
Corp. Theurer, Paul Poekert and B. O. Ratliff
of "116" have just returned from the Battle of
Paris where they observed the Mademoiselles
in their Easter finery. They report that it was
hard to recognize their old friends, so vast was
the change the finery made.
Sgt Jawn Schaner, truck dispatcher for the
Camp, finds the daily battle with the Mess
Sergeants a tough one. Jawn calls the Eatery
gents a bunch of "cold sores" and, it is rumored,
carries a horseshoe around in his glove. Co.
117 is going to appoint 'Am I right or wrong"
Tommie Tomlinson as a commite of one to
investigate the truck situation.
Corp. Ernest Fuller has solved the problem of
esd rting his mam'selle friend home from the
cances. His system includes an artistic scheme
of camouflage which can't be beat and Erney
ought to furnish his many friends in "118"
with the details. If he does, it will surely be
appreciated by them if they can get by as nicely
as he did the other night.
"Pete" Rosa has grabbed a nice new job as
Barracks Boss in No. 38 of "119's" buildings,
relieving C.P. Zwick who has left us temporar-
ily. Pete is a good man and ought to be a
great help to Top Kicker Morgan in getting
the sleepy ones out in the morning.
Members of "119" are requested not to make
remarks about Eddie Hartman's budding mous-
tache as he is a little sensitive about it. Please
give him a chance for he says that in a month

in his sleep. Some night the gang is going to
break him of the habit with a little object
lesson that may leave the leather lunged one
in bad shape.
The first day of May, or "May-Day" as the
French term it, is a holiday on the order of
the American Labor Day. In past years the
celebration of it has been rather stremous and
something like what would occur if America
tried to celebrat the 17th of March and July
12th on May 1st. This years celebration is
expected to be quite peaceful on account of the
French Government's acceeding to the "eight-
hour-day" demand of the Socialists.
This leave business is "knocking "117's" men
for a row and this condition is quite noticeable
in Sgt. Frank Smith, a veteran of the Paris
trenches. Frank shakes a wicked "Bon Soir"
these days and acts sort of skeptical.
While repairing a locomotive at the shops,
Private Eddie Snyder of "117" was painfully
injured when a cross head fell on his left foot.
But Eddie is coming along fine and is expecting
the accident to mean a quick trip to America
for him.
The only and much loved bugler of "118",
John N. Fowler, has written to the National
Employment Bureau of the U. S. for a list of
positions in civil life for which an Army Bugler
is best qualified. From this we take it that
John is figuring on going to work.
Private Rose of "118" returned from a trip
to Monaco this week and while he had a good
time, he is pretty much peeved because he was
not permitted to try his luck at the Casino
which is closed to men in O.D. That rule saved
the bank from being busted a couple of times
because Louis is the luckiest man in the outfit.

-- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
Sgt. Johnson of the 1st Trades School Co,
knows exactly how long the wall along the road
from town is, for he measured it with his hands
the other night. No, this is not one of the lessons
of the school -- the Sgt, only wanted to be sure
of getting to the camp on this dark and stormy
night!
Four members of the Band and Hqrs fought
the battle of Nice, recently: M E. Clyde Carter,
Corp. Wyant Dinsmore, Mus. Dave Saylor and
Pvt. 1cl (Speed) Val. Woods. From the tales
they bring back about Speed and the tales he
tells himself, it must have been a tough Guerre
for the M.P.'s, down that way.
"Bucknell Bill" Keiser, certainly added to the
beauty of the camp with the flower garden he
installed at Hqrs. In one he has the arrow of
hope pointing to Hoboken, but the anchor of
duty holds it in Nevers. Theres a sad story
connected with the purchase of the seeds and
flowers, just look at the Top Kicker's neck and
figure it out.
Bugler Alexander of "109" has a new stunt.
he prefaces his calls with a little song entitled:
"Com'awn git the rag out, one TWO"! This
always starts an argument but Pvt Beckham is
one who does'nt take part and says he won't as
long as the bugler does'nt play: "How dry I an".
Freddie Wild sure has faith in the future,
thinks "110", judging by the purchases he has
been making lately to take back to his girl. No,
he did'nt buy a diamond ring, his purchases
were laps ahead of that, -- lots of real dainty
things!
"Doc" Johnson is trying to figure out whether
it would be better to stay in Nevers or sign up
with the Army of Occupation, while "Indiana"
Stafford says if he could have a month more at
Monte Carlo with the girls, he'd be willing to
stay another year. Boy! Page the recruiting
Officers, and send him over to "110".
Joe Damrow, the "W.K." Co Clerk of "110"
and Corp. Delaney have returned from Paris.
Joe says he don't blame the Peace Commission
for stalling in that burg, but Delaney just
mopes around looking wistful and lonely. It
musta been a tough Battle, Del.
Sgts. Leo Isenogle and R. N. Jones of "116"
made their usual Sunday afternoon call a certain
quiet little maison in Nevers where jones got
away witch his usual line of entertainment, and
made his usual hit with the fair ones. Leo was
the audience.
Frank Zink, Roy Cheever, William Figart,
Charles Leddy, Robert Sauer and Guy Wilson
of "116" just returned from a vacation spent at
Nice. It does'nt sound possible, but one of these
fellows actually admitted that Nice was almost
as attractive as Altoona, Penna.
During last Saturdays inspection it developed
that Private Charlie Spicer of "109" had conce-
aled everything under his bunk but the transport
on which he expects to return to the United
States.
Sergeant Swetsky traded coats with Sergeant
Gallegher the other day and when "Jake" found
out that the Harp had taken him over' he col-
lapsed and had to be given First Aid and ended
up in the Infirmary where fellow members of
"109" may visit him
If present plans are carried out, next weeks
number will contain two additional pages, one
of which will be used for company items, dou-
bling the space now devoted to them. If you
hear any real good ones, tip off your company
representative.
Now that the allotment of Paris leaves has
been increased, everybody ought to get a look
at the Dream City of the World. Look it over
and you won't blame old Bill Hohenzollern for
wanting to eat there.
"Buck" McGarvey of "120" is a dog lover
and he's anxious to get back to his hunting
outfit in Altoona. But he does'nt think much
of Brigham's taste in dogs if the one he brought
home the other night is Brig's idea of a ribbon
winner.
Its too bad that Bugler Dave Coulter did'nt
take Herby Woods along with him to Nice for
he would'nt have had so much trouble with the
sail-boat he hired. According to a number of
witnesses, Dave was headed straight for Ho-
boken when a friendly wind wafted his craft
back to France, and the 120th Company.
Manager Pfister of "121's." baseball team
dreamed the other night that is bunch had won
the Camp league loving cup, and started yelling
for some one to hand him the cup. Private
Dickie went to the kitchen, brought back a
coffee pitcher and placed it in the dreamer's
arms. And now Mess Sergeant Lake is looking
for the pitcher.
And Jimie Kent of "121" had a dream too.
Jimmie was mixed up in a mess of Parisian
subways, cafes, taxicabs and mam'selles when
W. G. Rittershouse woke him up to hear the
beautiful notes of Reveille being wafted on the
frosty air currents.

stay another year. Boy! Page the recruiting
Officers, and send him over to "110".
Joe Damrow, the "W.K." Co Clerk of "110"
and Corp. Delaney have returned from Paris.
Joe says he don't blame the Peace Commission
for stalling in that burg, but Delaney just
mopes around looking wistful and lonely. It
musta been a tough Battle, Del.
Sgts. Leo Isenogle and R. N. Jones of "116"
made their usual Sunday afternoon call a certain
quiet little maison in Nevers where jones got
away witch his usual line of entertainment, and
made his usual hit with the fair ones. Leo was
the audience.
Frank Zink, Roy Cheever, William Figart,
Charles Leddy, Robert Sauer and Guy Wilson
of "116" just returned from a vacation spent at
Nice. It does'nt sound possible, but one of these
fellows actually admitted that Nice was almost
as attractive as Altoona, Penna.
During last Saturdays inspection it developed
that Private Charlie Spicer of "109" had conce-
aled everything under his bunk but the transport
on which he expects to return to the United
States.
Sergeant Swetsky traded coats with Sergeant
Gallegher the other day and when "Jake" found
out that the Harp had taken him over' he col-
lapsed and had to be given First Aid and ended
up in the Infirmary where fellow members of
"109" may visit him
If present plans are carried out, next weeks
number will contain two additional pages, one
of which will be used for company items, dou-
bling the space now devoted to them. If you
hear any real good ones, tip off your company
representative.
Now that the allotment of Paris leaves has
been increased, everybody ought to get a look
at the Dream City of the World. Look it over
and you won't blame old Bill Hohenzollern for
wanting to eat there.

-- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
Sgt. Johnson of the 1st Trades School Co,
knows exactly how long the wall along the road
from town is, for he measured it with his hands
the other night. No, this is not one of the lessons
of the school -- the Sgt, only wanted to be sure
of getting to the camp on this dark and stormy
night!
Four members of the Band and Hqrs fought
the battle of Nice, recently: M E. Clyde Carter,
Corp. Wyant Dinsmore, Mus. Dave Saylor and
Pvt. 1cl (Speed) Val. Woods. From the tales
they bring back about Speed and the tales he
tells himself, it must have been a tough Guerre
for the M.P.'s, down that way.
"Bucknell Bill" Keiser, certainly added to the
beauty of the camp with the flower garden he
installed at Hqrs. In one he has the arrow of
hope pointing to Hoboken, but the anchor of
duty holds it in Nevers. Theres a sad story
connected with the purchase of the seeds and
flowers, just look at the Top Kicker's neck and
figure it out.
Bugler Alexander of "109" has a new stunt.
he prefaces his calls with a little song entitled:
"Com'awn git the rag out, one TWO"! This
always starts an argument but Pvt Beckham is
one who does'nt take part and says he won't as
long as the bugler does'nt play: "How dry I an".
Freddie Wild sure has faith in the future,
thinks "110", judging by the purchases he has
been making lately to take back to his girl. No,
he did'nt buy a diamond ring, his purchases
were laps ahead of that, -- lots of real dainty
things!
"Doc" Johnson is trying to figure out whether
it would be better to stay in Nevers or sign up
with the Army of Occupation, while "Indiana"
Stafford says if he could have a month more at
Monte Carlo with the girls, he'd be willing to
stay another year. Boy! Page the recruiting
Officers, and send him over to "110".
