l! ■' ' 18 THE CADUCEUS. MEDICAL SUPPLY PIQUANT POINTERS The M. S. D. took the “master” out of quartermaster, by mastering them in a game of ball. The score was 8 to 5. (BY SERGEANT “DOC” WODT>ARD) Some people won’t even be happy if they do get to heaven. They’ll stil' want to go somewhere else for the summer months. The mall was pretty light on Sun day. Bremer only got four letters. Extracts from a letter received from Luis Amdursky, shipped from this de tachment to Newpork News for over seas duty: “Took a 12-mile hike today and we get this together with drill, drill, drill, four or five hours every dayl OneN thing I miss outside of tbet splendid companionship of the boys at Camp Greene, is the wonderful "chow” they serve you. It is worth ?5 a throw compared to the stuff they dish out here, and that’s no bull.” Never finish your letters “Thanking you in advance for your kind assist ance,” because the odds are about thousand to one that you won’t get it and I don’t think we’ve a ghost of r chance of licking the Germans,” .iust take it from me, he’s a self-appointed “Kaiser” lover, just make him kiss your “bunch” of fives twice in the same |>lace, and when he has done a “Fare thee well,” just tattoo the German flag all over his “May” and let him lay. If you meet a guy who drops his eyes when he meets you and will start up his own pet war argument with “I’m as patriotic aS' anybody, and as good an American as ever lived, but I know when we' are up against it, and things are looking worse every day, Lots of members of the Detachment who never dreamed of being iioultry fanciers before joining the army, seem to have suddenly developed a great interest in “dressed chicken.” The greatest money panic I ever saw was when some one dropjied a dime on a crowded car last week, •t’ about fifteen women scrambled for it, claiming it as theirs. SUNSHINE POEM. Corporal Davidson has “gone west.” No, he hasn’t “cashed in.” He’s gone on a furlough and headed toward Sioux City. Manager Logan of the second team spnmg a Charlie Horse on Monday, which accounts for those two mis judged in middle field in that prac tice game on Monday—to hear him tell it. Corporal Nicol is again with us af ter “knocking ’em cold” on his ten- day furlough in New Haven. Lieutenant H. C. Durston, of the Signals Corps, First Prov. Regt., mobil ization department, stationed at Camp Greene, has kindly submitted the following poem, written by his brother, Lieut. G. H. Durston, and which bears homage to the “medics”: HE’S A MAN You hear a lot of silly rot about the “Nursemaid Corps”; The “Saw Bones” and the “Pill Rollers” who “wallow in our gore,” But I want to go on record as saying, here and now That the boys who wear the old maroon do surely earn their chow. They give us pills for all of our ilts, they feed us diets fine, “The deaths we died they watched beside” and the life they lead is thine; And when amid a rain of steel your legging muscls tire; You’ll see these “non-combatants” tend the wounded under fire. So when you see the winged rod upon a soldier’s coat, And the serpents that for, wiedom stand, just mutely make a note. That though he never does a. Guard, or use a ram-rod. That where you see that uniform you’ll find a man, by God! By LIEUT. G. H. DURSTON, Sanitary Corps, N. A. TO BE GIVEN BY THE U. S. O. N. A.
