there are servants, an In tin- HrltKh
army there are also servant, ollicera'
servants, or "t. 8." ua they an- p Tined.
In the Anierl cau army the cominoji
nuuie for them Is "dog roldicrx." From
a controversy In the English pain r,
Winston Churchill made the Mntc
incut, as far a I run remen.her, that
the officers' acrvanta In the l!riil-li
forces totaled nearly two hundred
thousand. He claimed tluit thia re
moved two hundred thousand cc
tlouully good and w. ll Irnlncd lighter
from lbs actual tlrlnK line, clklminc
that the otllccr. win n selecting a mun '
for servant's duty, generally picked lb.-,
niaj who had b.i u out the longest and
knew the ra.pi s.
Hut from niy ohscratlon 1 find that
a large percentage of the servants do
go over rhe top, but behind the lines
they very seldom .ngugc In divine
parties, fatigue, paradis ,r dulls.

At one point of the line where the

place tins of bully beef, fags, sweets,

out end get these luxuries.
The next night Tommy would go out
to see what Frlta put Into bis stocking.
The donation q rally consisted of
paper from lierlln, telling who wae
winning the war, gome tinned sausages,
cigars, and occasionally a little beer,
but a funny thing. Tommy never re
turned with the beer unless It wsa In

Tommy lost his job.
One night a young English eergeent

had act a trap ami gained another vic
