Lee, 25th Com pany, 1564th Depot Brigade, is ‘“some” artist. He recently completed a very commendable Red Cross poster for the new Red Cross building at the base hospital and is working on a poster which will be hung in the CC “X" social room. . Private W. R. Kyle, 36th Company, 154th Depot Brigade, can show 'em a thing or two about war gardens, and string beans in particular, judging from a sample he brought back with him recently.

Ad mission free. Among the new faces seen in the 9th Battalion, 154th Depot Brigade, of late are a number of second lieuten ants. These include: Lieut. Clarence B. Goodwin, 33d Company; Lieut. John J.\Hogan, 34th Company; Lieut. Alan M. Hay, 34th Company; Lieut. Daniel J. glartlgan, 356th Company; Lieut. Lawrence G. Bernard, 35th Company. Lieut. William L. Kennedy, 36th Com pany. Lieut. Byron Hester has been as signed as chaplain of the 9th Bat talion, 154th Depot Brigade. Lieut. Hester came to camp after attending the Chaplains’ Training School at Camp Taylor, Ky. Prior to entering the Army Chaplain Hester was pastor of a church in Oklahoma, Several boys of the 9th Battalion were fortunate in being called to the Central Officers’ Training School, but the boys miss 'em a lot. The lucky chaps were Sergts. Charles P. Trus sell, Leslie Wortz, Corp. W. P. Ma gruder and Private Paul O. Mercer. The Sunday brigade service is at tracting many men these days. Chap lain 1.. K. Free always has a vital message. Double C “Y’” is co-operat ing with him in" his Sundag services in various wards at the base hospital. Among the new arrivals in the 11th Battalion, 154th Depot Brigade, are Lieuts. Charles L. Pierce, 41st Com pany; Maurice A. Regan, 418 t Com pany; Philip Zach, 41st Company; Carleton C. Young, 42d Company, and Robert Frazier, 42d Company. Another clever chap who is always ready to do his bit with some ex ceptional piano playing is Franklin J. Aackson, 35th Company, 154th Depot Brigade. He hails from Washington, D. C.,, where he played with a prom fnent orchestra. That the boys are extremely fond of classical selections is proved every time Jackson gets at the piano. His interpretations of gen uinely artistic numbers is a (great treat. The roster of the 10th Battalion, 164th Depot Brigade, now includes the foNowing second lieutenants: Victor H. Scales, 38th Company; Carlisle M. Groton, 39th Company; Stanley H. Dalton, 40th Company, and Alfred J. McNally. Two colored boys were standing out side the orderly room window, one having just received a special deliv ery letter. His companion remarks: “Benn gettin’ some money, er?’ “No, nothin’ dat looks lak money.” “Well, yer got some special readin’, anyway.” “Who'’s the boy at the piano?”’ asked a chap during Saturdgy night's pic ture program. The secretary offered the informa tion that the pianist was Clifford Lee, 25th Company, 154th. Depot Bri gade. Lee’s home is in Camden, N. J,, where he was a commercial artist be fore donning_ the khaki. His first weeks of milltary life were spent at Camp Dix, and he made lots of friends there, especially among the “Y” sec retaries of Hut 2. Here he served most capably as a pianist, and when he struck Camp Meade didn't lose any tme in lending a hand in making pic ture night at CC the more enjoyable through, ‘“tickling the ivories.” He has a fine repertoire and can handle all the popular ditties in fine style. Between the salute and handshak ing George Gross, Casualty Detach ment, Medical Depgrtment, hasnlt had much rest of late. The salute, of course, comes in line of duty, but the handshaking originated from the fact that George thought he had fauntered down life’'s pathway alone long enough. So, silently stealing away the other day (imagine that on the W., B. and A.) George hies himself to his old home town, Reading, Pa., and knocks at the home of his sweet heart. The knock was answered by Miss Dorothy R. Melcher herself, and it wasn't long before a taxi drew up in front of the residence of Rev. F. K. Huntzinger. The knot was tied and, following a wedding trip to Philadelphia, George returns to camp to receive the good wishes of his many friends. Gross i#® the pianist and leader of the Liberty orchestra, and when it comes to getting music out, of a Steinway or a Knabe he's "Raere."_ For a time he was bugler in the Bth Battalion Field Band, and when lo cated in CC block used to give the ,l:?.yl all kindl‘of ::t&tawi;nment with -pilano playing . g was with one of B:;e’ntnfit.- hMmnoend of pralse. ™~ R P e e I N L e . .

The court will probably be conduct ed by Judge Robert Moss of Annap olis, a member of the court of the fifth judicial circuit of Maryland. The preparatory arrangements are be ing made by Lieut. Campzell Meeker, who succeeded Capt. Levidle, who was promoted from a second lieutenancy largely because of the ability he had displayed in this same line of work.

Somebody’s boy is cleaning his gun And getting ready to shoot a Hun, Somewhere in France. Somebody’s boy is high in the air, Somebody’s boy is doing his share . Of downing the birds of the foe.

' “Well, you see, mister, we're from way out west, and we wanted to see what the War Department looks like, now that we're in the Army,” said theé two rookies, : “But the guard up there told us nothing doing at this time of night, Pretty tough luck, don’t you think?” - The little man agreed. . “But I think I can take you around a bit, for I work in there,” he added. So the tour started. The rookies thought it was a bit strange how the . guards let this man through without any questions and even saluted as he passed. Didn’t Introduce Himself. - The ljttle man, who hadn’'t intro duced himself to the two friends from out west, took them all over the ende less corridors, showing them the ad jutant general's office, the chief-of staff’'s office, the hundred and one other places in the granite structure, At last they paused before the sece retarial office. ‘“This is the Secretary of War’s of fice,” he said. The rookies were impressed. “Would you like to see it?” “You bet we would.” The Secretary opened the door, took them through the outer offices, showed them the flag that draped Lincoln’s casket, explained to them about the solemn picture of the former Secs taries, and then ushered them into the Secrethry’s private office.

The rookies looked on almost in aw® as he paraded meerschaums, briarsy corncobs and clays. ; The little man asked if they wonlk, not sit down and chat a while. ® o “What did they think about @ army and what did they think of Baker. . They told him fully and without reservation. They allowed the ‘my life was great and guessed “this mam Baker” must be all riggt. for he “cere tainly had things rumfiing right.” - They chatted until 12:30 a.m. %4 “I'm Mr. Baker,” said the Secretary in parting. “I wish you'd take thes§ Awo pipes as & souvenir.” -§ o iu o vy IS e R .
