THE WADSWORTH GAS ATTACK a n d RIO GRANDE RATTLER 13 BATTERY E, 106TH FIELD ARTILLERY. We haven’t got it right as yet, but Cor poral Brad Hammond says he’s going to some kind of school around camp and we all have the hopes of it being a soup school w h ere he can get a hand-out, because he has a very bad habit of the gimmes, and we think the only cure for it is getting an edu cation at th a t school. Go to it, Ham, we all know it will b e tter our conditions, and we all bid you a hearty farew ell and wish you lots of luck, old hoy. Talking about Edisons in our division, our sergeant of the first section is not only busy on the new hot w a ter boiler for the shower baths, but the latest thing he has invented is to stop Private M orris from giving him a show e r bath when he is holding a con versation w ith him. Since the sixth tent, commonly known as the Gimme Squad, got split up, they are m a k ing the best of it by coming in to see “Crying Charlie Buckley,” as he is the most prosperous of the bunch. The wind-jam m e rs have to hide their horns, so when they have their daily concerts they will not find them stuffed w ith paper or som ething of th a t kind. B. B. McC. COMPANY E, 102ND AMMUNITION TRAIN. Two days of rain has given the “Ambition T rain ” an opportunity to do considerable hunk fatigue. The rain was especially welcomed by our 22-karat gold-brick, P rivate Hefferan and he adm its it, too. He and his bunkie, H o p kins, are now running a close race for the honor of champion gold-brick. Private A1 Mason, alias Cy Perkins, is re sponsible for rum o r 999 th a t the 27th is to leave soon for France. P rivates Colligan and Blacknik are doing ten days K. P. and have applied for a ten- day extension. But they haven’t anything on our champion, O. D. King, who can make stew w ith mule meat, harness attached, w ithout the boys detecting it. Acting Corporal H a rt is still acting, but has now been appointed Insurance Clerk for the company. To date he has answ ered only 9,999 questions on the subject. N e v e rthe less, he has been feeling unusually happy of late. W h ere and how do you get it? Put us hep, won’t you! Dizzy Lane and Pop Glennon have retu r n ed, after spending ten days on lightless Broadway. Privates Joe Clayton and Vic Loggerbaur are our latest Benedicts. Good luck, boys! X. Y. Z. They All Fall For It. READ, AND WRITE. Drop a line to Mr. A. Greenberg, ye old bunch of Public School No. 10 of New York City. Inclose name of regim e n t and com pany.
