Wanted: One partly used umbrella in exchange
for one brand new steel helmet, never
used. Address Private Base Hosp., France.
Medical Society
One of the important factors in the work of
the Center is the Martian Medical Society, an
organization for the purpose of lectures, clinical
observations and discussions in relation to the
latest methods of medicine and surgery. Meetings
are held the second and fourth Thursday
of each month. Colonel George A. Skinner is
President and the arrangement of programs has
been made by Captain Souder of Base "35".
Other notices will follow later.
Patriotism At Home
The soldier's burden is hard enough to bear
without the worries added by many landlords
back home.
Some of the married men are hearing from
their wives that it is very difficult to obtain
apartments. The first question asked is :"Is
your husband a soldier?" When the answer
is affirmative, profuse regrets are expressed
that the vacant apartment has already been let.
The wife of one of our Mess Sergeants had
this experience in five attempts to secure an
apartment in New York City. The reason for
it is said to be that the law prevents summary
ejections of a soldier's family, and some of the
apartment owners and agents in their efforts to
be intensely pro-pocketbook, succeed very well
in being pro-German in spite of hoisted flags.

ARMY TALK
"Yes, Joe, but you're in the Army now!"
That served to still your complaints but it
also introduced you, new recruit that you were,
to army talk and to the idiom that ran current
on the company street and in the mess-hall.
Somehow the phrases were wonderfully expressive.
And how they did stick in the memory!
When that detested bugle blew in the gray
dawn you learned to shake it off and at the
earnest command of the top soak you snapped
into it and swung down to the mess hall. Of
course the food-hound was first in line. The
slum was monkey-meat or perhaps gold-fish
or fish-eye pudding but we noticed you stood
in line for seconds.
And remember the other morning you came
out of the Detachment Office trying to buck it?
Yes, you had received a bawling-out from the
shavetail but you smiled rather wryly and murmured
something about "its' a great life if you don't weaken!"
You learned early to nip in the bud any
rough stuff from your Buddy by shouting that
meaningful phrase "As you were". You
passed the buck in any dangerous controversy
by exclaiming "You tell him, - I stutter".
The hard-boiled birds you side-stepped.
"How do you get that way?"
What a world of approach this phrase contains!
It is the poor buck privates only come-
back after a panning from the sergeant.
Of course we all know that insidious wretch,
the hand-shaker. Equally in the public eye we
always find the gold-brickers.
"Give him a couple of C.C.s' and mark him
'Duty."
And the victim of flu goes sadly back to his
task, a wiser it not a happier man' or perhaps
he is tagged 'light duty' which means pick
and shovel on the company street.
So goes army speech. It is a new and valuable
contribution to the science of language.
And what would the army be without it?
L.Y. "35".
SONG LEADER
One of the interesting visitors to camp
during the past week was J.A. Hedges who at present
is working in the interest of the Y.M.C.A. in the
establishment of classes in singing. It is part
of a project inaugurated by Professor Lawrence
of New York to give to the soldier in
camp the instruction which is needful. Eighteen
songs are prepared that will meet all
demands and give to the man in khaki his
national songs together with home songs.
The officers heartily support the idea for it is
needless to say that songs do much to ward maintaining
the morale and efficiency of the army.
Incidentally it might me mentioned that none
of us are too sure what follows the first four
lines of our National Anthem!
°°°
One of our patients is still a trifle undecided
as to exactly what ails him. The other morning
the Ward Surgeon remarked that a particular
pain of which he boasted might arise from gas
on the stomach. A look of horror crossed the
face of the patient. "Oh, but I don't think
so", he remarked to the Captain, "you know
I haven't been near the Front!"
...third column
Breakfast Dope.
There is always the one
Who the night before
Has indulged in the Vin Ordinaire.
And the talkative lad
Who got in bad
On a trip to Saint Pierre.
But of all the pests that infest the mess
And goes by the name of 'friend'
Is the guy who has talked with a prisoner Hun
And knows when this war will end!
CAMP RECREATION
Hospitals call to mind operations, suffering,
disease and cures, but a surprising amount
of recreation enters the life here chiefly
thorough the keen interest taken by our Commanding
Officer, Col. George A. Skinner.
The Band and Orchestra, the entertainments,
the camp newspaper, the wide scope of the Red
Cross activities are among these. In addition
he has sanctioned the formation of a dramatic
organization, study courses, athletics, football
and various other competitive games.
The result of this is that the center is rapidly
becoming a self-contained city with every
opportunity for study and amusement.
LEAVE IT TO THEM
Private Stanger of "35" tells of an amusing
remark which he recently heard made by a
colored corporal who was going over the elementary
principles of drill with a squad of dusky
soldiers. It soon developed that he was supplementing
the Drill Manual by very vivid instructions
of his own making. The climax was
reached when he suddenly shouted, "Here you
niggas! When I sez "mark time" I wants you
to move yo feet but don't you go nowhere!"
Fighting his Friends
War some times plays peculiar tricks, which
is illustrated by one of the Germans in a "48"
ward. He is 19 years old, and 16 of those
years were spent in England. neither he nor
his family had any intention of leaving England,
but when feeling ran high after the "Lusitania"
outrage, his family and himself, then
under military age, were repatriated.
Las year he was inducted into the Teuton
forces as a Medical man. In a recent Champagne
battle he was seriously wounded by a
hand grenade that exploded within a few feet
of him.
This prisoner speaks English perfectly; in fact
his accent is so thoroughly "English" that
he would be mistaken for a musical comedy
Lord in America. He has nothing but friendly
sentiments for the English people, and his
knowledge of Germany and things German is
quite limited.
