October 20, 1917 Fun from the Fighting Men Contributed by Men in Uniform The Great Decision By Mojor C. R. Young, Toronto, Can ERGEANT-INSTRUCTOR after re- peated attempts to induce a round- shouldered recruit to straighten up: “The big thing for you to settle in this war, my man, is whether your chest is goin’ to be on the same side as your stom- ach, or on t’other side.” At Mess “What can the Mess Sergeant be doing with an Army List in one hand and plate of soup in the other?” “Playing safe. He's making dead sure of the seniority of each of the new subal- terns before serving any of them.” The Recruiting Office By Charles F. Clark, Sergeant U.S. A., Boise, Idaho HE entered briskly, approached the Sergeant's desk and said: “My father was French, and my mother Ger- man. Consequently, I’ve been at war with myself internally ever since 1914. Now, I want to get into it in reality.” He was accommodated. A country boy, long-geared, cadaver- ous and horny-handed, appeared. He was bashful and retiring, but finally managed to blurt out: “Twant ter join the Aviration Corpse!” A few questions brought out the fact that what he did not know about gas engines would fill a book. He was sent out to get a letter from a former em- ployer stating that he had driven an auto or truck, and soon returned. Clutched in his right hand was a crumpled letter which he handed to the Sergeant with a feeling of pride. It read: Moss, Idaho, August 24, 1917. To Whom It May Concern This is to certify that ——— has had some experience in driving automobiles. He has driven my Ford car several miles. | ABNER JONES. “Take my advice, Lorenzo,” said the Sergeant; “‘you stay on Mother Earth a while. Sign your name right here on the dotted line. The infantry needs you.” He signed. FACTORY SHOWING 30 X 606 ROOM IN WHICH W. L.
