LAWFUL GLEANINGS
GATHERED OR' MADE UP BY
IVAN H. LAW.
ONE OF WAR’S VIRTUES.
One thing—in the theatre of war
you don’t have to get up to let a fat
couple find their seats after the show
has started.—Florida Times-Union.
Having been through one peace of
fensive we are veterans, now, and will
have little trouble in repulsing the
next and the next. ^
The one thing sacred to a Hun is'
his hide.
General March’s plan for an army
of 4,800,000 by July Indicates that Ger
many is going to have a lot of com
pany next summer.
Double quick in connection with the
Liberty loan campaign means double
your last subscription quickly.
Even a German spy might be able
to guess ^where those troops were go
ing, who are reported to be asking
“When do we sail?”
Events indicate that the supply of
confidence in Germany is not equal to
the demand of the high command.
If it is anything like the old-fash
ioned grip you don’t have to read up
on “how to tell if you have the in
fluenza,” you will know it all right.
Is it possible that the Crown Prince
is leading the Bulgarian troups? They
arq. fighting that way.
The Bulgarian minister at Washing
ton believes that his country is vir
tually out of the war—we all agree
with him and think it in line to add
Turkey.
On Tuesday England set her clocks
and the German army back again.
We suggest that the allies listen to
Bulgaria’s peace proposals between
shots.
Every bond is a hand grenade.
Every stamp is a shot
To spread the Kaiser and his crew
All over the Potsdam lot.
We note from the papers of Sunday
last that*Francisco Villa again is ap
pearing. Seems he is in some kind
of a fight or something. Down in Mex
ico, I believe.
Headline: “Washington hears Bul
garia will bow.” That is nothing. It
is just a question of a little time when
all will look up to and bow down to
Old Glory.
Every time the president opens his
mouth he goes himself one better.
NOTHING DOING.
Top Sergeant: “Fall in for retreat.”
Flatfooted Shine: “Say, boss, I can’l
run.”

THE CADUGEUS
SOME CHALLENGERS
HOW ABOUT TENNIS.
The Medical Supply Depot boast of
having some tennis players. When ar
rangements can be made, they are
willing to play games with the Base
Hospital. A series or doubles and sin
gles could be arranged, and we feel
sure that they would draw a large at
tendance. How about it, Sgt. MacNish.
YOU DUCKPIN BOWLERS.
The Fall season, brings to life the
duckpin bowlers in the Medical Sup
ply Depot. Inasmuch as the Hospital
has a vast. amount of material of a
team, we entertain hopes that the
challenge we are sending out will re
ceive consideration. Corp. Lange, a
former Conpecticut State champion
could easily pick out a winning com
bination. A small sized reply, please.
NO CRIPPLES
ALL CAN HELP.
GETS LEAVE.
.Private First Class Frederick Lee,
who for so many months was confined
to the hospital as a patient, recently
completed his course in reconstruction
at Ward E-3 and rejoined liis detach
ment for duty where he was imme
diately grahted a furlough to vls^it his
folks at home.
GOES
TO
GEORGIA.
Another of the non-commissioned
officers who was so fortunate as to
have a little trip was Corporal Har
rington, who accompanied' a patient to
Fort McPherson, Ga.
TAKES PATIENT.
Sergeant First Class Samuel R.
Wright of the adjutant’s office, is ab
sent on a trip to Philadelphia, Penn.,
where hew a^ sent with a convales
cing patient.
