Trench and Camp Elsewhere.
Tit for Tat. .
On a road in Belgium a German
officer met a boy leading a jackass,
and addressed him in a heavy jovial
fashion as follows:
“That's & fine jackass you ha!e my
son. What do you call it? * Al
bert, I bet!”
. “Oh, no, officer,” the boy réplied
quitkly. “I think too highly of my
king.”
The German scowled and return
ed: “I hope you don’t-dare to call
it William.” :

of my jackass.’—Paris Liberte.—

A sweetheart’s monument is being

gade. The structure is dedicated to
tife six northeastern states that have
sent men to Camp Devens. Sweet
‘hearts of soldiers at the camp bring
out the stones for the monument
when they come visiting.—“Devens.”
“Kiss Me Sergeant,” is now “Yip!
Yip! Yaphank!” and a memorandum
has gone out from Gen. Bell's office

Gas Mask Defies Tobacco.
Modern warfare, rather than preju
dice, is responsible for the decline of
the American habit of chewing to
bacco, say Y. M. C. A. secretaries who
sell tobacco in the canteens in
_ France. It's the gas mask that's done
the trick. A devotee of the plug is
seriously embarrassed when called
upon to don his gas mask. As one
southern soldier put it: “With ter
pacca bitin’ inside yer cheek, the ol’
gas mask anchored ‘tween yer teeth,

" Man Is Drafted by Own Sister.
- Willlam Theodore Husung, one of
the new members of the recruit
camp, enjoys a unique distinction. He
was drafted into the ‘Army by his
own sister, Miss Elnora Husung of
San Diego.
. Miss Husung is an executive in the
office of the San Diego draft board at
tife San Dilego county courthouse.
Several weeks ago, while making out
a list of names of men to be inducted
immediately -into the military serv
ice, she came across the name of her
own brother. Without a second’s hesi
tation she inscribed it on her honor
list and a few days later her brother’
started for Camp Kearny. He is
training at the camp now and -the

Another of Miss Husung’s brothers

“African” Golf.
_ Bhe (with newspaper)—l- see that
the commander of a negro regimeny
at the front writes that “African golf
_ has been introduced over here, and
_the French soldiers like it.” What's
African golf?
He—Craps.—Kearny.

The four ukulele girls who have
been giving concerts i{n this camp and
have become very popular among the
soldiers had a compliment paid them
that was both original and unique. Of
course we are not mentioning any
names. It is also not necessary to
state that these girls ' are attractive
as well as entertaining. After one
of their numbers one of the soldiers
arose from his seat and exclaimed,
“Corporal of the guard! Four prisgn

. George Let Them Do It
George Washington Brown, late of
Mobile, was wmaking his first trip
frqntwal_'d on a supply wagon in
‘France. He was almost there when,
from the side of the road a camou
flaged American battery broke forth
thunderously, casting a few 300-pound
- mementoes oved the lines to Fritz.
The ground trembled from the ter
~ rific salve, but. not more so ‘than
George as he jumped from his high
seat to the road.
The American artillery officer di
recting the battery crossed over to
the road.
“Scared?’ he asked, smilingly.
“Wel, suh,” said George. “I was
suqhtly agitated at fust, suh. I sut

E. P. McAloon, 41st Company, 11th

In the July contingent of draftees
which left Essex county, N. Y., early
July 21 were representative men- of
the far-famed Adirondack mountains.
After a strenuous journey for eighteen
hours, 103 hardy men reported at
Camp Meade. The jubilant spirit of
the northern New Yorker was mani
fest throughout™ the journey, and a
hearty salute was given to the good
word of friends, Red Cross workers

When the line of men with Tom Mc-
Donald, Port Henry's best, as the
captain of the party, halted for roll
call at temporary quarters all men
responded to the call, which placed
them in line with America’s best. At
\ the head of the roll was Pierce Mc
\éloon of Keeserville, high school
principal and lover of good fun. One
other from Keeserville—George Waite
—was there. He said he had been

YOUR. -GENERAL'S IDEAL.
| Brig. Gen. Joseph A. Gaston gave his outline of “an ideal American sol
i dier and how to become one” yesterday, and this is what he said: .
“In the first place, he should believe that his cause is just and he will
learn this through the lectures and pictures he sees in the Y. M. C. A. and
other welfare buildings. The moral sense is quickened there, also, as it
shoul@ be.- i - 5 -
“He should remember that he is fighting for his own fireside, for the
protection of his woman relatives from the greatest band of cut-throats
the world has ever known. 4 B
“The German army is efficient because it is well disciplined, but it is a
. mere machine, hopeless when its officers are lost. The French, too, are train
ed to ol¥fey, but they add imitiative, which makes them superior.
- ‘“The American soldier needs discipline more than anything else to make
him ideal. In our family life the son runs his father and the daughter the
mother. I 8 it not so? Well, the first thing we must have the boy learn is
obedience. .
. “Next, he should learn everything in the Army that there is to learn.
He must study-his branch and see if there is not something which he can
suggest as an improvement. . : 4 .
= “He need not hate the German people, but he should hate the kaiser and
