that lie can tell the story much
better than I shall ever be able to
do.
I noticed in the Journal of last
weeK, that it carried the story of
Capi. Dorsey's resignation. His
c.ivwor liar, arrived and is now in
command ot the Radio Company
He is an excellent gentleman, .and
from all accounts will make a good
commanding officer, and best of all,
he is very much liked by the boys
nf thp Rndio ComDanv. as well as
of the other Companies of the Bat
talion. The Radio boys have bought a
Vicirola, with part of their Compa
ny Fund, and now we have music
with all our meals, and in between
times, when anybody gets a chance
to wind the thing, the notes of "Oh
Johnnie, Oh Papa" and other rags,
with an occasional change to "Joan
of Arc They are Calling You," may
be heard coming from the general
direction of the Radio street.
Most of the boys took advantage
of the beautiful weather Sunday,
and went to Greenville or some
nenrby town, and took in the sights.
Ymir rnrresnondent tried it one
Saturday not long ago. He went to
Greenville, and-being there at mess
time, hied himself hither to a cafe,
and ordered a supper of half a fry,
an order of h t cakes, and a cup of
coffee; a very reasonable bill of fare
for a hungry soldier. When the
bill came in the charge was 80c.
How the cashier arrived at such a
conclusion has been a puzzle to me
until n fpw minutes no. when 1
