Ever so often we have to run a “we are starving” story for the benefit of the German morale in as much as we desire to claim no unfair advantage over our considerate enemy. Here is the menu of the Sunday din ner at the base hospital and what is just an ordinary meal for we Ameri can soldiers; Roast Beef Gravy Peas Celery Brown Potatoes Bread Ice Cream with Raspberry Syrup Cookies Grape Juice PERSHING WILL CARRY THE STARS AND STRIPES. The cartoonist- who drew this pic ture and who is preparing the front page drawing for next week’s issue of The Caduceus is Benjamin T.

Dur ing the journey, they lost a wheel off the car, and the “question arises” whether it was the “M-m-m moon Shine Over the Cow Shed” or the rare atmosphere of the “Land of the Sky." While Davidson was absent on his “Sky lark,” a piano box full of blue envelopes, post-marked “Chicago,” ac cumulated in the barracks. Since re turning Dave has worn out three type writer ribbons in an attempt to offset the attack of “blues.” Bob Durst has finally admitted that he came near contracting T. B. be- TRANSFERRED.

Van Winkle, a descendant of Rip himself, is a wide awake man. The other day he delib erately gashed his finger with a safety razor and rushed off in a southern di rection. “Hawk Eye” Hungerford of the Secret Service, followed the trail of blood and found “Rip” happily perched on a table in Ward B-3, while a very charming nurse tenderly rrn dered first aid to the wounded war rior. “Y. & B.” Ice and Coal O.
