SUNSHINE LETTER To the Commanding Officer of the Base Hospital at Camp Greene, Dear Sir: — On a recent visit to the Base Hos pital in Camp Greene under the su pervision of Major Sheep, I was agree ably surprised. The courtesies ex tended and the kindness shown to me by the officer sand attendants at the Base Hospital, Ward B-6, and the at tention of the doctors and orderlies to the patients has made me stop and think. Little did I expect to see such good treatment as I had witnessed. My vis it was caused by the serious illness of my brother, Lazarus Cohen and 1 must say that were he a millionaire he could not have received better treatment than he was getting. I am sure he could not have re ceived as good attention at home, for there were five or six orderlies in the Ward beeide the nurse I have learned that the physicians in the ward my brother was in were well known physicians in their par ticular branch (specialists) who have sacrificed a large practice, etc., for the good of the cause. The cleanliness of the hospital was wonderful. To think that a house surrounded by mud as I had witnessed there and people walking in and out, find still the floors were absolutely clean. With best wishes for the success of our cause and with many thanks for the courtesies shown me by all while on my visit to your camp, believe me. Sincerely yours, REUBEN COHEN, 123 West 127th Street, New York, N. Y. MRS. SHEEP CONVALESCENT. The condition of Mrs. Sheep, wife Of Lieutenant-Colonel W. L. Sheep, continues to appear more encouraging. She was subjected to a critical opera tion two weeks ago. names ARE JUST NAMES. A guy, named Berlin grinds out pa triotic war songs, and a White Sox recruit named Kaiser enlists to scrap Germany. One sees such names as Luden- 'torff, Krause, Hasselbach, Knopler, Hesselmyer on the casualty list. And there are such names as On- dortsky, O’Hara, Lipinski, Constan- tineau, Appuzzi, etc., who also have died for Democracy. \ The writer’s name might be Pat- trick O’Linski, but it isn’t, and even it it was, it wouldn’t mean much just now. By CARL BISSBLL THE CADUCEUS. ATTENTION On the military command “a-t-t-e-n- tion!” men of the same unit assume the attitude, of a soldier. It is practically a • universal com mand used by armies of all nations and recognized as the foundation of militaristic a-b-c. This foundation or corner-stone is most carefully laid, for it is a mark of national respect, (and) the world as an observer seeks it. The world, (measuring) the degree of efficiency o fan army, looks for proud alingnment of one position, of one expression and of one body. It expects the eroctness of heads which not only reveal self-respect, self-confidence but also self-control. The limbs an dbody must be trained to act gracefully and do as the mind directs. A Steady eye observes the object upon which it is fixed; sees it with out and sees it within. Loyalty that lives in the hearts bugles out at every beat. Soundness of body, sturdiness and strength of limbbs are true signs of endurance which are due to strict obe dience in disciplinary experineces or movement of a soldier. To attention these demands one must learn the meaning of obedience and promptness, as is exemplified in attention. A body of men possessing real evi dence of a soldier, give mechanically their spirit at the command of “a-t- t-e-n-t-i-o-n,” as positively as a touch of a button awakens the mined har bors from their lull and sleep. Once the spirit of an army is estab lished, and it’s establishment begins at “a-t-t-e-n-t-i-o-n,” willingness eager ness and bravery develops in the hearts of the men and they proudly follow their leader to the front where spirit meets spirit. —SERGT.
