WHERE THE WAR IS ENDED
A soldier of the enemy lies sleeping in our
little burying-ground with the brave American
boys who made the great sacrifice. There were
two funerals on Tuesday, and the German and
the American who a few short days before
faced each other on the two sides of the great
battle line were buried in the same cemetery.
In the ugly story of the world conflict sometimes
there is a little incident that reveals the
survival of the chivalrous attitude toward the
fallen foe, although the enemy himself has
wellnigh destroyed it. The simple funeral was
one of these incidents.
"Taps" is the end of the best soldiers.
"Taps" was sounded over American and German
both. There were pallbearers for both and our men
stood as reverently by the grave of the fallen
foe as the fallen comrade. And under the sod
in the harsh bosom which Mother Earth presents
here, they have forgotten their strife, just
as the cause of one was, and mistaken the
other
_________
POST BAND AND ORCHESTRA
There has been a growing demand in camp
for entertainment and amusement. Everything
has been done in this line by the talent furnished
by different members of the Base Hospitals
and patients. When the weather permitted
the entertainments were held in front of Hospital
Center Headquarters in the open air but at
present they are being conducted in the Red
Cross Recreation Hut. There is so strong demand
for band music and orchestra that an organization
has been formed and a complete set of
instruments are on the way. Quite a supply
of the music has already arrived. The men
are meeting nightly and are receiving instruction
in the science of the bâton along with a
review of some of the elementary rules of music
in general from Lieut. Banta, the director.
The organization will be military in every
respect, and, from the personnel, it will be in
all probability a professional one also. They have
the support of the Commanding Officer and
will no doubt be a very efficient, as well as a
useful factor, in the music welfare of the
camp.

TO "THE MARTIAN"
It is with a feeling of deep satisfaction
that I am able to express to your paper,
my most sincere good wishes. That there
is a distinct and needed place for such a
publication is unquestioned and I anticipate
that it will become a very real and
integral part of camp activity.
Accept my congratulations and support
which is gladly given in the full and confident
knowledge that you will at all times
abide by those principles which characterize
the action of true American soldiers.

RUSH FOR COMMISSIONS
Following the posting of Bulletin No 30, G.H.Q.
a flood of applications for commissions in other
branches of the service was received at the
headquarters of various units here. The granting
of every request would leave sad depletions
in the ranks of the medical force here and for
that reason there may be some delay in hearing
the results of the applications.
------------------
GOING HOME
A detachment of patients bound for the States
left this Center during the week. Good luck to
them. They have done their part in the war
nobly and deserve the greetings they will get
from the folks back home.

AT SUNSET IN FRANCE
When evening flings her pageant
On hill and turquoise sky
And gold and mauve and crimson
Flaunt radiant pennants high
Then memory flits with yearning
To love and friendship blest
In home lands far across the sea
In the pearly shimmering West.

FROM OUR FRIENDS
Our quarters are not finished
We're not doing very much
We'd like to give you things to eat
Like pies and cakes and such.
But circumstances don't permit
And we can only make
You lemonade and chocolate
Serve cookies 'stead of cake.
Dear sirs, if you should chance to find
A bee within your tea
Please have the grace to pick him out
And smile most cheerfully.
If any comments you would make
About our nightly show
That's the very information
That we most desire to know
Be frank to make suggestions
Tell us what you want each day,
If the Red Cross Recreation Hut
Can help you any way.

OUCH!
Did you ever hear of Lockport New York?
This was heard in the sanitary squad's barracks
one evening. Leo: "Well, they have fine
jails in Lockport, they lock up all the bums
from Niagara Falls to Rochester." Carl:
"Yes it is some town, they don't even let the
Erie Canal go through the city without locking
it up!".

WHERE THE WAR IS ENDED
A soldier of the enemy lies sleeping in our
little burying-ground with the brave American
boys who made the great sacrifice. There were
two funerals on Tuesday, and the German and
the American who a few short days before
faced each other on the two sides of the great
battle line were buried in the same cemetery.
In the ugly story of the world conflict sometimes
there is a little incident that reveals the
survival of the chivalrous attitude toward the
fallen foe, although the enemy himself has
wellnigh destroyed it. The simple funeral was
one of these incidents.
"Taps" is the end of the best soldiers.
"Taps" was sounded over American and German
both. There were pallbearers for both and onr men
stood as reverently by the grave of the fallen
foe as the fallen comrade. And under the sod
in the harsh bosom which Mother Earth presents
here, they have forgotten their strife, just
as the cause of one was, and mistaken the other
_________
POST BAND AND ORCHESTRA
There has been a growing demand in camp
for entertainment and amusement. Everything
has been done in this line by the talent furnished
by different members of the Base Hospitals
and patients. When the weather permitted
the entertainments were held in front of Hospital
Center Headquarters in the open air but at
present they are being conducted in the Red
Cross Recreation Hut. There is so strong demand
for band music and orchestra that an organization
has been formed and a complete set of
instruments are on the way. Quite a supply
of the music has already arrived. The men
are meeting nightly and are receiving instruction
in the science of the baton along with a
review of some of the elementary rules of music
in general from Lieut. Banta, the director.
The organization will be military in every
respect, and, from the personnel, it will be in
all probability a professional one also. They have
the support of the Commanding Officer and
will no doubt be a very efficient, as well as a
useful factor, in the music welfare of the
camp.
