Page 4. THE POP-VALVE April 26, 1919.
LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
"Pop" Card of the Headquarters staff and the
proprietor of the noisiest laugh in the A.E.F.,
has become an Asperine fiend. He used up a
whole box of them on a morning in recent
history.
Musician Tommy Rogers of the Band and one
of the original members of tho "Old" 19th., has
"partied" to America, having been handed his
orders on Good Friday. Tommy was heard
remarking that it was a darn good Friday for
him.
The Top Kicker of Headquarters and a few
other members of the Detachment are swearing
vengeance on George Welzell for a stunt he
pulled over on them at the dance on Monday
night. If George was'nt a married man, we'd
tell the whole story, and it would ruin him.
Jimmie Prevratil and Mike Latrona who are
attending the Musical College at Beaune claim
that city to be a little Paris in itself. But they
have'nt forgotten their old friends in the Band
and Hqrs, and ask to be remembered to all of
them.
Mess Sergeant Maule is expecting to go to
Paris this week, taking Cook Jawn Clark along.
He wishes to inform his customers that Sun-
day's supper will not be lacking in the usual
Salmon particular.
The infirmary's records show that 999,999 C.C.
pills were used in the March barrage. Sgt
Brunke claims that if Corp. Summerville had'nt
gone on leave during the month, the count
would have been an even million.
The Annual gathering of the Medical Dept's.
I.W.W. Sewing Circle was held in "Hattie"
Ridgeway's apartment, one evening last week.
The Coco Cola queen was just splendid in the
role of hostess and entertained the many Camp
Stephenson notables present in a lovely manner.
Music was furnished by the Y.M.C.A. Victorola
and many prominent scandals were told.
Plans for the opening of the Mechanical
Trades schools are rapidly nearing completion
and Lieut. Walter Smith expects to start the
classes very soon. Men for the school are
arriving daily and it is expected that the two
companies will be filled up before the end of
the month. As soon as the front line boys get
settled, they are expected to furnish the
School's representative on the Pop-Valve with
some extra good material.
The smile that "110's" Mess sergeant King
has been wearing lately? It is'nt just because
the company thought well of the Easter bill of
fare. Some letters he received had something to
do with it too.
It is rumored that Cook Fosnight has started
to economize - he tried to send a five pound
box home free by putting "soldiers mail" on
the right hand corner. Wonder who's been
kidding Fosy by telling him he is a soldier?
Cook Naegelen wants to go home so badly
that he talks about it in his sleep. Cheer up
John Bunny, we all have the same idea, but
layin' around wishing don't make the slum any
better.
Lieut. Terry, the Camp dentist dines with the
officers of "116" and tells of receiving a cable
-gram recently, announcing the arrival of a
bouncing baby boy at the Lieutenant's home.
Among other things, it means an increase in the
Lieutenant's allotment and a greater increase in
his desire to get home.
C. G. Martini of "116" has had two transfers
this week. The first one was to the teaching
staff of the Mech. Trades Schools and the second
to the staff of the Pop-Valve.
Everybody in "121" regrets that Private
J. J. Halloch has been put in class "D" but it
means a quick trip home for him, which we
hope will restore him to class "A" shape.
This thing of getting orders to return to the
United States is getting on the nerves of some
members of "118". The latest winner in the
little game is Sergeant Fred Brunner who has
received orders to "partit toot de suite" for
immediate discharge. We're not sore at Fred,
in fact we admire him for it, and hope he won't
have to leave home any more. But we are sort
of curious to fin dout what kind of a line he
used to put it over.
The Commanding Officer of "118" has issued
strict orders that the Non Commissioned officers
will have to stop gambling with the "bucks",
effective immejut. This order is a good thing
for the N.C.O's., especially for "Pop" Oyler, and
will mean money in their pockets. But the poor
old bucks, they suffer as usual. Its always a
cruel, cruel Guerre for them!
Somebody in "119's" sleeping quarters played
a mean trick on "Red" Cocker, slipping a few
logs of wood in his mattress and, by interfering
with his sleep, hurting his chances for the cinch-
ing of the right field position on the Camp team.
red claims he must have eight hours rest or he
can't do a thing in right field.
"Nutmeg" O'Neill, one of the celebrities of
"119" is now the manager of the Doughnut
quartette and is offering the services of the four
Carusos for lullaby work at the foot of bunks
where the occupants can't sleep. The ex-trainer
of winning fighters has a crop of new California
stories which he will relate to anyone, Altoona-
ists preferred!
Corporals Spurlocks and Mofield, and Private
Stamper made their customary calls in Four-
chambault on Sunday and among other resi-
dents of the town, they called on the lady who
used to do washing for company "119", when it
was stationed there. This probably explains the
number of French letters one of the trio has
been getting and if he paid the bill, the letters
will probably cease.
"Sammy" Browne, who is no relation to the
belt of the same name, met with a serious acci-
dent the other evening while seated before
the fire in "120's" kitchen. Samuel dropped a
vial of -- perfume -- that he intented using
before he went to the Easter dance and he was
moved to tears over the accident. On the same
day, Sam had just borrowed ten francs when a
certain Sergeant talked him out of the ten so
fast that he forgot about the old days with
Ringlings circus for almost an hour.
It has just come to light that when Pvt. J. L.
Cook was issued his first wrap leggins, he
looked the spirals over and then asked Pvt.
J. W. Criss what the Sam Hill they expected him
to do with the dod gasted pennants! The
supply sergeant of "121" had to explain them
to him.
Mess Sergeant Spahr of "109" has gone and
left us, having "partied" to Germany last
week. His responsible position has been taken
over by John Triepel who was one grand cook
and who gives promise of putting "109" on the
culinary map.
Corp. Geo. A. Leary is receiving the congrat-
ulations of his friends on the additional stripe
he was given recently. Now George will be
able to get even with a certain M.P. he loves so
well.
Corp. E. C. Strandberg is still receiving
plenty of mail from Washington, D. C. He
has'nt got his stuff working right over here, for
some unknown reason, but back in the States
he was a regular heart breaker.
Frank J. Senpeck of "116" reported to the
Orderly room recently and requested a pass over
to Bourges. The pass clerk misunderstood the
request and arranged for Frank to accompany
the men of the company of Jewish faith, on the
Pass Over trip. Frank is a charter member of the
A.O.H. and comes from the County of Shanty,
Ireland, but he says he had a wonderful time on
the trip. It is not known whether he went to
church or not!
Sgt. G. L. Krupa, Corp. R. I. Clark and Pvt.
M. S. Curtain, of "117", have arrived back in
camp after spending a seven day leave in Nimes.
They say they closed Nimes up as a leave are
and want another leave so they can close up
Grenoble.
In Private Andrew Guldman, "117" has one
soldier that is really fond of Army life. This
soldier has been in France "nigh onto" ten
months and has been out of the camp only once
in all that time. How d' -- -- -- -- do they get
that a-way?
Its a hard thing to do, to even think of congrat-
ulating a Mess Sergant, but "117" really had a
good dinner on Easter Sunday and this is such
an unusual thing that it must be mentioned.
"Mother Squire" who operates "117's" feedery
and acts as Mess Sgt. takes everything calmly.
She thinks that the entire company likes her
and "she's" so deaf that she never hears the
things that's being said about her. Keep it up
Sarge and we'll get you lots and lots of mail!
Corporal Keister of "118" one of the few men
of the "Fighting Fiftieth" who really likes Army
life and don't care how long we stay over here,
has announced that he is willing to give his
spare time to instructing members of the
company who lack proficiency in the manual of
arms. He expects to start a class on July first,
the class to last at least three months, thus
making the delinquents good soldiers for our
return to the states in November!
Sgt. "Shylock" Christensen, Julius Gosczynski'
Edward Grosh, Anthony Keathley and John
Bottorff looked over the sights of Bourges on
Sunday. Chris says that after the first hour he
saw it all through a sort of haze, but goes no
deeper into the explanation.
Messrs. Flaherty and Harry, two well known
members of the culinary staff in "120" have
been on the sick list for several days. Flaherty
is now able to sit up and eat an orange or two
but Harry does'nt seem to improve. In fact
Harry does'nt seem to care any more which ear
his famous cap rests over, and he was always
proud of the angle of the cap.
Mechanic "Scope" Roberts has announced
that if Munson and Johnson don't quit talking
Scandinavian at Mess, he's going to have them
both expelled from Jerry Hansel's clubhouse
the very next time they appear there. Everybody
in "120" is awaiting developments.
Just for a joke, Sergeant J. H. Davis of "121"
asked a well known Irish buck if he cared to
have a leave for the Pass-Over. The buck
replied: "Pass-Over H...! The only pass
over that bothers me is passing over the ocean
to Hoboken, got any o'them?"
The printed copies of the history of "121"
will soon be ready for distribution among the
members of the company. If you want a copy
of it, keep your eye on this paper, as the date
of distribution will be announced in it's
columns.
The P.W.E, Company had a big time on
Easter Sunday and have it all written up in
verse: "Easter Sunday dinner everseas. Beau-
coup eats from heads to knees. With us we had
two good looking American girls dressed in
blue. If you ask Miss Leonard and Miss Walt-
ers they will say so too. Our Mess Sergeant
Zeirack no doubt has a rep but we've gotta
hand it to Cooks Timsack and Spraker cause
they furnished the pep. When the boys filed in
to Mess there was not a hiss or sound. Because
a dinner like this in France could not be found.
When all had filled up on the things I've named
below, you'll all agree with me as to what our
good cooks know. (The menu was as follows):
Consomae Clair
Relishes Pickles Cream Cheese
Chicken ala Maryland with Supreme sauce
Creamed Mashed potatoes and green peas
Bread Butter Hot Biscuits
ENTREE - Giblette Sauce
DESERT - Baked Apple dumpling - Victoria Style
Tea Cigarettes Chocolate

ulating a Mess Sergant, but "117" really had a
good dinner on Easter Sunday and this is such
an unusual thing that it must be mentioned.
"Mother Squire" who operates "117's" feedery
and acts as Mess Sgt. takes everything calmly.
She thinks that the entire company likes her
and "she's" so deaf that she never hears the
things that's being said about her. Keep it up
Sarge and we'll get you lots and lots of mail!
Corporal Keister of "118" one of the few men
of the "Fighting Fiftieth" who really likes Army
life and don't care how long we stay over here,
has announced that he is willing to give his
spare time to instructing members of the
company who lack proficiency in the manual of
arms. He expects to start a class on July first,
the class to last at least three months, thus
making the delinquents good soldiers for our
return to the states in November!
Sgt. "Shylock" Christensen, Julius Gosczynski'
Edward Grosh, Anthony Keathley and John
Bottorff looked over the sights of Bourges on
Sunday. Chris says that after the first hour he
saw it all through a sort of haze, but goes no
deeper into the explanation.
Messrs. Flaherty and Harry, two well known
members of the culinary staff in "120" have
been on the sick list for several days. Flaherty
is now able to sit up and eat an orange or two
but Harry does'nt seem to improve. In fact
Harry does'nt seem to care any more which ear
his famous cap rests over, and he was always
proud of the angle of the cap.
Mechanic "Scope" Roberts has announced
that if Munson and Johnson don't quit talking
Scandinavian at Mess, he's going to have them
both expelled from Jerry Hansel's clubhouse
the very next time they appear there. Everybody
in "120" is awaiting developments.
Just for a joke, Sergeant J. H. Davis of "121"
asked a well known Irish buck if he cared to
have a leave for the Pass-Over. The buck
replied: "Pass-Over H...! The only pass
over that bothers me is passing over the ocean
to Hoboken, got any o'them?"

Page 4. THE POP-VALVE April 26, 1919.
LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
"Pop" Card of the Headquarters staff and the
proprietor of the noisiest laugh in the A.E.F.,
has become an Asperine fiend. He used up a
whole box of them on a morning in recent
history.
Musician Tommy Rogers of the Band and one
of the original members of tho "Old" 19th., has
"partied" to America, having been handed his
orders on Good Friday. Tommy was heard
remarking that it was a darn good Friday for
him.
The Top Kicker of Headquarters and a few
other members of the Detachment are swearing
vengeance on George Welzell for a stunt he
pulled over on them at the dance on Monday
night. If George was'nt a married man, we'd
tell the whole story, and it would ruin him.
Jimmie Prevratil and Mike Latrona who are
attending the Musical College at Beaune claim
that city to be a little Paris in itself. But they
have'nt forgotten their old friends in the Band
and Hqrs, and ask to be remembered to all of
them.
Mess Sergeant Maule is expecting to go to
Paris this week, taking Cook Jawn Clark along.
He wishes to inform his customers that Sun-
day's supper will not be lacking in the usual
Salmon particular.
The infirmary's records show that 999,999 C.C.
pills were used in the March barrage. Sgt
Brunke claims that if Corp. Summerville had'nt
gone on leave during the month, the count
would have been an even million.
The Annual gathering of the Medical Dept's.
I.W.W. Sewing Circle was held in "Hattie"
Ridgeway's apartment, one evening last week.
The Coco Cola queen was just splendid in the
role of hostess and entertained the many Camp
Stephenson notables present in a lovely manner.
Music was furnished by the Y.M.C.A. Victorola
and many prominent scandals were told.
Plans for the opening of the Mechanical
Trades schools are rapidly nearing completion
and Lieut. Walter Smith expects to start the
classes very soon. Men for the school are
arriving daily and it is expected that the two
companies will be filled up before the end of
the month. As soon as the front line boys get
settled, they are expected to furnish the
School's representative on the Pop-Valve with
some extra good material.
The smile that "110's" Mess sergeant King
has been wearing lately? It is'nt just because
the company thought well of the Easter bill of
fare. Some letters he received had something to
do with it too.
It is rumored that Cook Fosnight has started
to economize - he tried to send a five pound
box home free by putting "soldiers mail" on
the right hand corner. Wonder who's been
kidding Fosy by telling him he is a soldier?
Cook Naegelen wants to go home so badly
that he talks about it in his sleep. Cheer up
John Bunny, we all have the same idea, but
layin' around wishing don't make the slum any
better.
Lieut. Terry, the Camp dentist dines with the
officers of "116" and tells of receiving a cable
-gram recently, announcing the arrival of a
bouncing baby boy at the Lieutenant's home.
Among other things, it means an increase in the
Lieutenant's allotment and a greater increase in
his desire to get home.
C. G. Martini of "116" has had two transfers
this week. The first one was to the teaching
staff of the Mech. Trades Schools and the second
to the staff of the Pop-Valve.
Everybody in "121" regrets that Private
J. J. Halloch has been put in class "D" but it
means a quick trip home for him, which we
hope will restore him to class "A" shape.
This thing of getting orders to return to the
United States is getting on the nerves of some
members of "118". The latest winner in the
little game is Sergeant Fred Brunner who has
received orders to "partit toot de suite" for
immediate discharge. We're not sore at Fred,
in fact we admire him for it, and hope he won't
have to leave home any more. But we are sort
of curious to fin dout what kind of a line he
used to put it over.
The Commanding Officer of "118" has issued
strict orders that the Non Commissioned officers
will have to stop gambling with the "bucks",
effective immejut. This order is a good thing
for the N.C.O's., especially for "Pop" Oyler, and
will mean money in their pockets. But the poor
old bucks, they suffer as usual. Its always a
cruel, cruel Guerre for them!
Somebody in "119's" sleeping quarters played
a mean trick on "Red" Cocker, slipping a few
logs of wood in his mattress and, by interfering
with his sleep, hurting his chances for the cinch-
ing of the right field position on the Camp team.
red claims he must have eight hours rest or he
can't do a thing in right field.
"Nutmeg" O'Neill, one of the celebrities of
"119" is now the manager of the Doughnut
quartette and is offering the services of the four
Carusos for lullaby work at the foot of bunks
where the occupants can't sleep. The ex-trainer
of winning fighters has a crop of new California
stories which he will relate to anyone, Altoona-
ists preferred!
Corporals Spurlocks and Mofield, and Private
Stamper made their customary calls in Four-
chambault on Sunday and among other resi-
dents of the town, they called on the lady who
used to do washing for company "119", when it
was stationed there. This probably explains the
number of French letters one of the trio has
been getting and if he paid the bill, the letters
will probably cease.
"Sammy" Browne, who is no relation to the
belt of the same name, met with a serious acci-
dent the other evening while seated before
the fire in "120's" kitchen. Samuel dropped a
vial of -- perfume -- that he intented using
before he went to the Easter dance and he was
moved to tears over the accident. On the same
day, Sam had just borrowed ten francs when a
certain Sergeant talked him out of the ten so
fast that he forgot about the old days with
Ringlings circus for almost an hour.
It has just come to light that when Pvt. J. L.
Cook was issued his first wrap leggins, he
looked the spirals over and then asked Pvt.
J. W. Criss what the Sam Hill they expected him
to do with the dod gasted pennants! The
supply sergeant of "121" had to explain them
to him.
Mess Sergeant Spahr of "109" has gone and
left us, having "partied" to Germany last
week. His responsible position has been taken
over by John Triepel who was one grand cook
and who gives promise of putting "109" on the
culinary map.
Corp. Geo. A. Leary is receiving the congrat-
ulations of his friends on the additional stripe
he was given recently. Now George will be
able to get even with a certain M.P. he loves so
well.
Corp. E. C. Strandberg is still receiving
plenty of mail from Washington, D. C. He
has'nt got his stuff working right over here, for
some unknown reason, but back in the States
he was a regular heart breaker.
Frank J. Senpeck of "116" reported to the
Orderly room recently and requested a pass over
to Bourges. The pass clerk misunderstood the
request and arranged for Frank to accompany
the men of the company of Jewish faith, on the
Pass Over trip. Frank is a charter member of the
A.O.H. and comes from the County of Shanty,
Ireland, but he says he had a wonderful time on
the trip. It is not known whether he went to
church or not!
Sgt. G. L. Krupa, Corp. R. I. Clark and Pvt.
M. S. Curtain, of "117", have arrived back in
camp after spending a seven day leave in Nimes.
They say they closed Nimes up as a leave are
and want another leave so they can close up
Grenoble.
In Private Andrew Guldman, "117" has one
soldier that is really fond of Army life. This
soldier has been in France "nigh onto" ten
months and has been out of the camp only once
in all that time. How d' -- -- -- -- do they get
that a-way?

and "she's" so deaf that she never hears the
things that's being said about her. Keep it up
Sarge and we'll get you lots and lots of mail!
Corporal Keister of "118" one of the few men
of the "Fighting Fiftieth" who really likes Army
life and don't care how long we stay over here,
has announced that he is willing to give his
spare time to instructing members of the
company who lack proficiency in the manual of
arms. He expects to start a class on July first,
the class to last at least three months, thus
making the delinquents good soldiers for our
return to the states in November!
Sgt. "Shylock" Christensen, Julius Gosczynski'
Edward Grosh, Anthony Keathley and John
Bottorff looked over the sights of Bourges on
Sunday. Chris says that after the first hour he
saw it all through a sort of haze, but goes no
deeper into the explanation.

Page 4. THE POP-VALVE April 26, 1919.
LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
"Pop" Card of the Headquarters staff and the
proprietor of the noisiest laugh in the A.E.F.,
has become an Asperine fiend. He used up a
whole box of them on a morning in recent
history.
Musician Tommy Rogers of the Band and one
of the original members of tho "Old" 19th., has
"partied" to America, having been handed his
orders on Good Friday. Tommy was heard
remarking that it was a darn good Friday for
him.
The Top Kicker of Headquarters and a few
other members of the Detachment are swearing
vengeance on George Welzell for a stunt he
pulled over on them at the dance on Monday
night. If George was'nt a married man, we'd
tell the whole story, and it would ruin him.
Jimmie Prevratil and Mike Latrona who are
attending the Musical College at Beaune claim
that city to be a little Paris in itself. But they
have'nt forgotten their old friends in the Band
and Hqrs, and ask to be remembered to all of
them.
Mess Sergeant Maule is expecting to go to
Paris this week, taking Cook Jawn Clark along.
He wishes to inform his customers that Sun-
day's supper will not be lacking in the usual
Salmon particular.
The infirmary's records show that 999,999 C.C.
pills were used in the March barrage. Sgt
Brunke claims that if Corp. Summerville had'nt
gone on leave during the month, the count
would have been an even million.
The Annual gathering of the Medical Dept's.
I.W.W. Sewing Circle was held in "Hattie"
Ridgeway's apartment, one evening last week.
The Coco Cola queen was just splendid in the
role of hostess and entertained the many Camp
Stephenson notables present in a lovely manner.
Music was furnished by the Y.M.C.A. Victorola
and many prominent scandals were told.
Plans for the opening of the Mechanical
Trades schools are rapidly nearing completion
and Lieut. Walter Smith expects to start the
classes very soon. Men for the school are
arriving daily and it is expected that the two
companies will be filled up before the end of
the month. As soon as the front line boys get
settled, they are expected to furnish the
School's representative on the Pop-Valve with
some extra good material.
The smile that "110's" Mess sergeant King
has been wearing lately? It is'nt just because
the company thought well of the Easter bill of
fare. Some letters he received had something to
do with it too.
It is rumored that Cook Fosnight has started
to economize - he tried to send a five pound
box home free by putting "soldiers mail" on
the right hand corner. Wonder who's been
kidding Fosy by telling him he is a soldier?
Cook Naegelen wants to go home so badly
that he talks about it in his sleep. Cheer up
John Bunny, we all have the same idea, but
layin' around wishing don't make the slum any
better.
Lieut. Terry, the Camp dentist dines with the
officers of "116" and tells of receiving a cable
-gram recently, announcing the arrival of a
bouncing baby boy at the Lieutenant's home.
Among other things, it means an increase in the
Lieutenant's allotment and a greater increase in
his desire to get home.
C. G. Martini of "116" has had two transfers
this week. The first one was to the teaching
staff of the Mech. Trades Schools and the second
to the staff of the Pop-Valve.
Everybody in "121" regrets that Private
J. J. Halloch has been put in class "D" but it
means a quick trip home for him, which we
hope will restore him to class "A" shape.
This thing of getting orders to return to the
United States is getting on the nerves of some
members of "118". The latest winner in the
little game is Sergeant Fred Brunner who has
received orders to "partit toot de suite" for
immediate discharge. We're not sore at Fred,
in fact we admire him for it, and hope he won't
have to leave home any more. But we are sort
of curious to fin dout what kind of a line he
used to put it over.
The Commanding Officer of "118" has issued
strict orders that the Non Commissioned officers
will have to stop gambling with the "bucks",
effective immejut. This order is a good thing
for the N.C.O's., especially for "Pop" Oyler, and
will mean money in their pockets. But the poor
old bucks, they suffer as usual. Its always a
cruel, cruel Guerre for them!
Somebody in "119's" sleeping quarters played
a mean trick on "Red" Cocker, slipping a few
logs of wood in his mattress and, by interfering
with his sleep, hurting his chances for the cinch-
ing of the right field position on the Camp team.
red claims he must have eight hours rest or he
can't do a thing in right field.
"Nutmeg" O'Neill, one of the celebrities of
"119" is now the manager of the Doughnut
quartette and is offering the services of the four
Carusos for lullaby work at the foot of bunks
where the occupants can't sleep. The ex-trainer
of winning fighters has a crop of new California
stories which he will relate to anyone, Altoona-
ists preferred!
Corporals Spurlocks and Mofield, and Private
Stamper made their customary calls in Four-
chambault on Sunday and among other resi-
dents of the town, they called on the lady who
used to do washing for company "119", when it
was stationed there. This probably explains the
number of French letters one of the trio has
been getting and if he paid the bill, the letters
will probably cease.
"Sammy" Browne, who is no relation to the
belt of the same name, met with a serious acci-
dent the other evening while seated before
the fire in "120's" kitchen. Samuel dropped a
vial of -- perfume -- that he intented using
before he went to the Easter dance and he was
moved to tears over the accident. On the same
day, Sam had just borrowed ten francs when a
certain Sergeant talked him out of the ten so
fast that he forgot about the old days with
Ringlings circus for almost an hour.
It has just come to light that when Pvt. J. L.
Cook was issued his first wrap leggins, he
looked the spirals over and then asked Pvt.
J. W. Criss what the Sam Hill they expected him
to do with the dod gasted pennants! The
supply sergeant of "121" had to explain them
to him.
Mess Sergeant Spahr of "109" has gone and
left us, having "partied" to Germany last
week. His responsible position has been taken
over by John Triepel who was one grand cook
and who gives promise of putting "109" on the
culinary map.
Corp. Geo. A. Leary is receiving the congrat-
ulations of his friends on the additional stripe
he was given recently. Now George will be
able to get even with a certain M.P. he loves so
well.
Corp. E. C. Strandberg is still receiving
plenty of mail from Washington, D. C. He
has'nt got his stuff working right over here, for
some unknown reason, but back in the States
he was a regular heart breaker.
Frank J. Senpeck of "116" reported to the
Orderly room recently and requested a pass over
to Bourges. The pass clerk misunderstood the
request and arranged for Frank to accompany
the men of the company of Jewish faith, on the
Pass Over trip. Frank is a charter member of the
A.O.H. and comes from the County of Shanty,
Ireland, but he says he had a wonderful time on
the trip. It is not known whether he went to
church or not!
Sgt. G. L. Krupa, Corp. R. I. Clark and Pvt.
M. S. Curtain, of "117", have arrived back in
camp after spending a seven day leave in Nimes.
They say they closed Nimes up as a leave are
and want another leave so they can close up
Grenoble.
In Private Andrew Guldman, "117" has one
soldier that is really fond of Army life. This
soldier has been in France "nigh onto" ten
months and has been out of the camp only once
in all that time. How d' -- -- -- -- do they get
that a-way?
Its a hard thing to do, to even think of congrat-
ulating a Mess Sergant, but "117" really had a
good dinner on Easter Sunday and this is such
an unusual thing that it must be mentioned.
"Mother Squire" who operates "117's" feedery
and acts as Mess Sgt. takes everything calmly.
She thinks that the entire company likes her
and "she's" so deaf that she never hears the
things that's being said about her. Keep it up

J. J. Halloch has been put in class "D" but it
means a quick trip home for him, which we
hope will restore him to class "A" shape.
This thing of getting orders to return to the
United States is getting on the nerves of some
members of "118". The latest winner in the
little game is Sergeant Fred Brunner who has
received orders to "partit toot de suite" for
immediate discharge. We're not sore at Fred,
in fact we admire him for it, and hope he won't
have to leave home any more. But we are sort
of curious to fin dout what kind of a line he
used to put it over.
The Commanding Officer of "118" has issued
strict orders that the Non Commissioned officers
will have to stop gambling with the "bucks",
effective immejut. This order is a good thing
for the N.C.O's., especially for "Pop" Oyler, and
will mean money in their pockets. But the poor
old bucks, they suffer as usual. Its always a
cruel, cruel Guerre for them!
Somebody in "119's" sleeping quarters played
a mean trick on "Red" Cocker, slipping a few
logs of wood in his mattress and, by interfering
with his sleep, hurting his chances for the cinch-
ing of the right field position on the Camp team.

can't do a thing in right field.
"Nutmeg" O'Neill, one of the celebrities of
"119" is now the manager of the Doughnut
quartette and is offering the services of the four
Carusos for lullaby work at the foot of bunks
where the occupants can't sleep. The ex-trainer
of winning fighters has a crop of new California
stories which he will relate to anyone, Altoona-
ists preferred!
Corporals Spurlocks and Mofield, and Private
Stamper made their customary calls in Four-
chambault on Sunday and among other resi-
dents of the town, they called on the lady who
used to do washing for company "119", when it
was stationed there. This probably explains the
number of French letters one of the trio has
been getting and if he paid the bill, the letters
will probably cease.
"Sammy" Browne, who is no relation to the
belt of the same name, met with a serious acci-
dent the other evening while seated before
the fire in "120's" kitchen. Samuel dropped a
vial of -- perfume -- that he intented using
before he went to the Easter dance and he was
moved to tears over the accident. On the same
day, Sam had just borrowed ten francs when a
certain Sergeant talked him out of the ten so
fast that he forgot about the old days with
Ringlings circus for almost an hour.
It has just come to light that when Pvt. J. L.
Cook was issued his first wrap leggins, he
looked the spirals over and then asked Pvt.
J. W. Criss what the Sam Hill they expected him
to do with the dod gasted pennants! The
supply sergeant of "121" had to explain them
to him.
Mess Sergeant Spahr of "109" has gone and
left us, having "partied" to Germany last
week. His responsible position has been taken
over by John Triepel who was one grand cook
and who gives promise of putting "109" on the
culinary map.
Corp. Geo. A. Leary is receiving the congrat-
ulations of his friends on the additional stripe
he was given recently. Now George will be
able to get even with a certain M.P. he loves so
well.
Corp. E. C. Strandberg is still receiving
plenty of mail from Washington, D. C. He
has'nt got his stuff working right over here, for
some unknown reason, but back in the States
he was a regular heart breaker.
Frank J. Senpeck of "116" reported to the
Orderly room recently and requested a pass over
to Bourges. The pass clerk misunderstood the
request and arranged for Frank to accompany
the men of the company of Jewish faith, on the
Pass Over trip. Frank is a charter member of the
A.O.H. and comes from the County of Shanty,
Ireland, but he says he had a wonderful time on
the trip. It is not known whether he went to
church or not!

LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
"Pop" Card of the Headquarters staff and the
proprietor of the noisiest laugh in the A.E.F.,
has become an Asperine fiend. He used up a
whole box of them on a morning in recent
history.
Musician Tommy Rogers of the Band and one
of the original members of tho "Old" 19th., has
"partied" to America, having been handed his
orders on Good Friday. Tommy was heard
remarking that it was a darn good Friday for
him.
The Top Kicker of Headquarters and a few
other members of the Detachment are swearing
vengeance on George Welzell for a stunt he
pulled over on them at the dance on Monday
night. If George was'nt a married man, we'd
tell the whole story, and it would ruin him.
Jimmie Prevratil and Mike Latrona who are
attending the Musical College at Beaune claim
that city to be a little Paris in itself. But they
have'nt forgotten their old friends in the Band
and Hqrs, and ask to be remembered to all of
them.
Mess Sergeant Maule is expecting to go to
Paris this week, taking Cook Jawn Clark along.
He wishes to inform his customers that Sun-
day's supper will not be lacking in the usual
Salmon particular.
The infirmary's records show that 999,999 C.C.
pills were used in the March barrage. Sgt
Brunke claims that if Corp. Summerville had'nt
gone on leave during the month, the count
would have been an even million.
The Annual gathering of the Medical Dept's.
I.W.W. Sewing Circle was held in "Hattie"
Ridgeway's apartment, one evening last week.
The Coco Cola queen was just splendid in the
role of hostess and entertained the many Camp
Stephenson notables present in a lovely manner.
Music was furnished by the Y.M.C.A. Victorola
and many prominent scandals were told.
Plans for the opening of the Mechanical
Trades schools are rapidly nearing completion
and Lieut. Walter Smith expects to start the
classes very soon. Men for the school are
arriving daily and it is expected that the two
companies will be filled up before the end of
the month. As soon as the front line boys get
settled, they are expected to furnish the
School's representative on the Pop-Valve with
some extra good material.
The smile that "110's" Mess sergeant King
has been wearing lately? It is'nt just because
the company thought well of the Easter bill of
fare. Some letters he received had something to
do with it too.
It is rumored that Cook Fosnight has started
to economize - he tried to send a five pound
box home free by putting "soldiers mail" on
the right hand corner. Wonder who's been
kidding Fosy by telling him he is a soldier?
Cook Naegelen wants to go home so badly
that he talks about it in his sleep. Cheer up
John Bunny, we all have the same idea, but
layin' around wishing don't make the slum any
better.
Lieut. Terry, the Camp dentist dines with the
officers of "116" and tells of receiving a cable
-gram recently, announcing the arrival of a
bouncing baby boy at the Lieutenant's home.
Among other things, it means an increase in the
Lieutenant's allotment and a greater increase in
his desire to get home.

this week. The first one was to the teaching

"Sammy" Browne, who is no relation to the
belt of the same name, met with a serious acci-
dent the other evening while seated before
the fire in "120's" kitchen. Samuel dropped a
vial of -- perfume -- that he intented using
before he went to the Easter dance and he was
moved to tears over the accident. On the same
day, Sam had just borrowed ten francs when a
certain Sergeant talked him out of the ten so
fast that he forgot about the old days with
Ringlings circus for almost an hour.
It has just come to light that when Pvt. J. L.
Cook was issued his first wrap leggins, he
looked the spirals over and then asked Pvt.
J. W. Criss what the Sam Hill they expected him
to do with the dod gasted pennants! The
supply sergeant of "121" had to explain them
to him.

Page 4. THE POP-VALVE April 26, 1919.
LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
"Pop" Card of the Headquarters staff and the
proprietor of the noisiest laugh in the A.E.F.,
has become an Asperine fiend. He used up a
whole box of them on a morning in recent
history.
Musician Tommy Rogers of the Band and one
of the original members of tho "Old" 19th., has
"partied" to America, having been handed his
orders on Good Friday. Tommy was heard
remarking that it was a darn good Friday for
him.
The Top Kicker of Headquarters and a few
other members of the Detachment are swearing
vengeance on George Welzell for a stunt he
pulled over on them at the dance on Monday
night. If George was'nt a married man, we'd
tell the whole story, and it would ruin him.
Jimmie Prevratil and Mike Latrona who are
attending the Musical College at Beaune claim
that city to be a little Paris in itself. But they
have'nt forgotten their old friends in the Band
and Hqrs, and ask to be remembered to all of
them.
Mess Sergeant Maule is expecting to go to
Paris this week, taking Cook Jawn Clark along.
He wishes to inform his customers that Sun-
day's supper will not be lacking in the usual
Salmon particular.
The infirmary's records show that 999,999 C.C.
pills were used in the March barrage. Sgt
Brunke claims that if Corp. Summerville had'nt
gone on leave during the month, the count
would have been an even million.
The Annual gathering of the Medical Dept's.
I.W.W. Sewing Circle was held in "Hattie"
Ridgeway's apartment, one evening last week.
The Coco Cola queen was just splendid in the
role of hostess and entertained the many Camp
Stephenson notables present in a lovely manner.
Music was furnished by the Y.M.C.A. Victorola
and many prominent scandals were told.
Plans for the opening of the Mechanical
Trades schools are rapidly nearing completion
and Lieut. Walter Smith expects to start the
classes very soon. Men for the school are
arriving daily and it is expected that the two
companies will be filled up before the end of
the month. As soon as the front line boys get
settled, they are expected to furnish the
School's representative on the Pop-Valve with
some extra good material.
The smile that "110's" Mess sergeant King
has been wearing lately? It is'nt just because
the company thought well of the Easter bill of
fare. Some letters he received had something to
do with it too.
It is rumored that Cook Fosnight has started
to economize - he tried to send a five pound
box home free by putting "soldiers mail" on
the right hand corner. Wonder who's been
kidding Fosy by telling him he is a soldier?
Cook Naegelen wants to go home so badly
that he talks about it in his sleep. Cheer up
John Bunny, we all have the same idea, but
layin' around wishing don't make the slum any
better.
Lieut. Terry, the Camp dentist dines with the
officers of "116" and tells of receiving a cable
-gram recently, announcing the arrival of a
bouncing baby boy at the Lieutenant's home.
Among other things, it means an increase in the
Lieutenant's allotment and a greater increase in
his desire to get home.
C. G. Martini of "116" has had two transfers
this week. The first one was to the teaching
staff of the Mech. Trades Schools and the second
to the staff of the Pop-Valve.
Everybody in "121" regrets that Private
J. J. Halloch has been put in class "D" but it
means a quick trip home for him, which we
hope will restore him to class "A" shape.
This thing of getting orders to return to the
United States is getting on the nerves of some
members of "118". The latest winner in the
little game is Sergeant Fred Brunner who has
received orders to "partit toot de suite" for
immediate discharge. We're not sore at Fred,
in fact we admire him for it, and hope he won't
have to leave home any more. But we are sort
of curious to fin dout what kind of a line he
used to put it over.
The Commanding Officer of "118" has issued
strict orders that the Non Commissioned officers
will have to stop gambling with the "bucks",
effective immejut. This order is a good thing
for the N.C.O's., especially for "Pop" Oyler, and
will mean money in their pockets. But the poor
old bucks, they suffer as usual. Its always a
cruel, cruel Guerre for them!
Somebody in "119's" sleeping quarters played
a mean trick on "Red" Cocker, slipping a few
logs of wood in his mattress and, by interfering
with his sleep, hurting his chances for the cinch-
ing of the right field position on the Camp team.
red claims he must have eight hours rest or he
can't do a thing in right field.
"Nutmeg" O'Neill, one of the celebrities of
"119" is now the manager of the Doughnut
quartette and is offering the services of the four
Carusos for lullaby work at the foot of bunks
where the occupants can't sleep. The ex-trainer
of winning fighters has a crop of new California
stories which he will relate to anyone, Altoona-
ists preferred!
Corporals Spurlocks and Mofield, and Private
Stamper made their customary calls in Four-
chambault on Sunday and among other resi-
dents of the town, they called on the lady who
used to do washing for company "119", when it
was stationed there. This probably explains the
number of French letters one of the trio has
been getting and if he paid the bill, the letters
will probably cease.

C. G. Martini of "116" has had two transfers
this week. The first one was to the teaching
staff of the Mech. Trades Schools and the second
to the staff of the Pop-Valve.
Everybody in "121" regrets that Private
J. J. Halloch has been put in class "D" but it
means a quick trip home for him, which we
hope will restore him to class "A" shape.
This thing of getting orders to return to the
United States is getting on the nerves of some
members of "118". The latest winner in the
little game is Sergeant Fred Brunner who has
received orders to "partit toot de suite" for
immediate discharge. We're not sore at Fred,
in fact we admire him for it, and hope he won't
have to leave home any more. But we are sort
of curious to fin dout what kind of a line he
used to put it over.
The Commanding Officer of "118" has issued
strict orders that the Non Commissioned officers
will have to stop gambling with the "bucks",
effective immejut. This order is a good thing
for the N.C.O's., especially for "Pop" Oyler, and
will mean money in their pockets. But the poor
old bucks, they suffer as usual. Its always a
cruel, cruel Guerre for them!

LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!
"Pop" Card of the Headquarters staff and the
proprietor of the noisiest laugh in the A.E.F.,
has become an Asperine fiend. He used up a
whole box of them on a morning in recent
history.
Musician Tommy Rogers of the Band and one
of the original members of tho "Old" 19th., has
"partied" to America, having been handed his
orders on Good Friday. Tommy was heard
remarking that it was a darn good Friday for
him.
The Top Kicker of Headquarters and a few
other members of the Detachment are swearing
vengeance on George Welzell for a stunt he
pulled over on them at the dance on Monday
night. If George was'nt a married man, we'd
tell the whole story, and it would ruin him.
Jimmie Prevratil and Mike Latrona who are
attending the Musical College at Beaune claim
that city to be a little Paris in itself. But they
have'nt forgotten their old friends in the Band
and Hqrs, and ask to be remembered to all of
them.
Mess Sergeant Maule is expecting to go to
Paris this week, taking Cook Jawn Clark along.
He wishes to inform his customers that Sun-
day's supper will not be lacking in the usual
Salmon particular.
The infirmary's records show that 999,999 C.C.
pills were used in the March barrage. Sgt
Brunke claims that if Corp. Summerville had'nt
gone on leave during the month, the count
would have been an even million.
The Annual gathering of the Medical Dept's.
I.W.W. Sewing Circle was held in "Hattie"
Ridgeway's apartment, one evening last week.
The Coco Cola queen was just splendid in the
role of hostess and entertained the many Camp
Stephenson notables present in a lovely manner.
Music was furnished by the Y.M.C.A. Victorola
and many prominent scandals were told.
Plans for the opening of the Mechanical
Trades schools are rapidly nearing completion
and Lieut. Walter Smith expects to start the
classes very soon. Men for the school are
arriving daily and it is expected that the two
companies will be filled up before the end of
the month. As soon as the front line boys get
settled, they are expected to furnish the
School's representative on the Pop-Valve with
some extra good material.
The smile that "110's" Mess sergeant King
has been wearing lately? It is'nt just because
the company thought well of the Easter bill of
fare. Some letters he received had something to
do with it too.
It is rumored that Cook Fosnight has started
to economize - he tried to send a five pound
box home free by putting "soldiers mail" on
the right hand corner. Wonder who's been
kidding Fosy by telling him he is a soldier?
Cook Naegelen wants to go home so badly
that he talks about it in his sleep. Cheer up
John Bunny, we all have the same idea, but
layin' around wishing don't make the slum any
better.
Lieut. Terry, the Camp dentist dines with the
officers of "116" and tells of receiving a cable
-gram recently, announcing the arrival of a
bouncing baby boy at the Lieutenant's home.
Among other things, it means an increase in the
Lieutenant's allotment and a greater increase in
his desire to get home.
