E. W I T T E 12V/2 Magnolia Street Spartanburg, S. C. Formerly of Troop “I,” First New York Cavalry Phone 1402 BATTERY E, 105TH FIELD ARTILLERY. Ed Sullivan, known as the grappling kid, has started intensive training to meet all comers at the wrestling game. I f Ed wres tles the way he eats porterhouse steaks he will make the Bigtimers look like cripples. Doc Gallagher took a flying trip to Gaff ney to look conditions over and came back with a smile. W h a t’s the idea, Doc? We have with us one K. P. Bob Cowles, who has talked many a mess sergeant out of a meal. If appetites were promotions he would be a general. Pete Eorsman (The Buzzer Kid) got a tip he was an athlete and started jumping and running. He is a good runner and I hear he got his experience by being chased by cops. Our corps consists of 29 men, 5 officers and ambitious Private F irst Class Pierce Aroix. Private John Farrell, otherwise known as Cork-leg, who was transferred here in Ja n uary, has been raised to an orderly to one of the officers. Some record for a young man. Private Joe Quigley was a little peeved on account of seeing his intended brother-in- law ’s name in a recent copy. D o n ’t be jeal ous Joe, she ’11 love you just the same. P rivate W alter Shields, a former student of the Long Island College Hospital, is with us. He claims th a t he is learning to be a doctor. I pity the poor patients. Gloomey Lon Nolan has just returned from a short visit to Brooklyn, where he went to visit his mother, who was reported to 'be sick. All the boys are glad to see him back with th a t winning smile of his. Oakfield’s pride, Bill Stevens, is working in the office now. Bill can be found any night in his tent w ith Barney W illiams amus ing the boys by telling them some of his jokes, but Barney can always go him one better. Private Wauchop, the regular army man, who claims he went into Mexico, is always telling us th a t when he was at the border how they used to do things. He was Sergeant in the Infantry at th a t time and all the boys hope that it w o n ’t be long until he is w ear ing the stripes again. Harold Blaisdell is back from the Base Hospital, where he underwent a slight opera tion. Bunk fatigner Neuback can be found all day long in the ‘ ‘ Gimmie tent ’ ’ holding down his cot. Who thinks I ’m lucky, boys? Olive Hessing, the kid from Indiana, is getting quite tough lately chewing tobacco and keeps Barney pretty busy calling him down for shooting the juice alongside his cot. Are you afraid that \yon will float out some night, Barney? Swakee Thompson must be a roof-painter on the outside, he is handy swabbing iodine. The Siggey sisters can be seen each day before meals walking up and down giving the Batteries the once over. W h a t’s the m a tter w ith B a ttery E, Sig, have they lost their reputation? R. F. H, HEADQUARTERS COMPANY, 3RD PIONEER INFANTRY. Well, w e ’11 say th a t Corp. “ B illy” Casey went over the top with his “ J a z z ” Band Saturday night up at Y. M. C. A. U n it No. 95. Tommy Slosson, of “ Borstarge Fame, ’ ’ was also in the limelight, not forgetting our John McCormack, Jackie Lynch, and the re maining members of the old “ Dandy F i f t h ’ ’ who contributed their share to the program— taking into consideration the show had been arranged on a short notice. Once more we ’11 have to hand it to you, i i George Cohan Casey,” yon ’re there, and w ith the rep you are now making the old “ N ickel” back home in Laurence will shoot up to a quarter. The boys on the street are more than anxious to get some of the oatmeal Hughey passed out Saturday morning and ship it, P. Q. D. B. V. D. Berlin, Germany. N everthe less 11 Hospital Annie ’ ’ Chadwick was as usual right there for seconds. Yon can ’t beat th a t boy, pass him the rubber boots bill, he never fails to come in on the second relief. Fred Mitchell is very desirous of entering the balloon school at Omaha, Neb., as he feels that he should be way above some of the fifers in “ Shevrons” Drum Corps. Will some kind reader please inform us as to how we can keep *i Annie ’ ’ away from “ C a rdinal” N ewm an’s barrack bag? Joe says he doesn’t object to Chad’s touch sys tem. but fails to see the idea of keeping his soiled clothes there, there just naturally dirty, not soiled. *i Adorable Mary, ’ ’ Mother Ryan and D ainty M arie greet thee. This is w h at we look for in that letter to the maiden in J a maica Plain, who posed w ith the little P il grim not so many months ago. Things that never happen. One of the Graveyards H all Room boys passing the smokes or the eats. The boy from the Boston Post failing to write M ontreal nightly. Onr stable sergeant failing to stand rev eille or retreat. ‘ ‘ Tell ’em I say Hell-o ’ ’ Dornlas passing up a good smoke. Chadwick paying that bill at the Chardon St. home. Tweet refusing a furlough to Win t hr op, Mass. Onr good looking horseshoer adm itting that he comes from Novie. Jigger paying th a t dollar he cheated his dark complexioned friend out of the other day. Onr Pill Doctor “ K id H u rley” with the thousand dollar smile getting his money. The world famed “ Gloom Chasers’’ los ing their reputation and the brotherly love that they have for each other. “ SCOOPS.”
