MEDICAL DETACHMENT OF 30TH INFANTRY Weather Gave Boys a "Cold Reception," but it Is Better Now. 1 The medical detachment of the 50th i infantry left Camp Syracuse, and after ' four days' travel reached their desti| nation. Camp Greene, with the cx| pectation of enjoying warm weather, I warmer climate than they were having in Syracuse, but to. their surprise, . as one of the boys expressed it. ' the south was freezing up." But after a few days they came to the decision that they would indeed like this place. As much as the boys like this country, they feel that they would much rather be where they could get a chance at those Boches, especially so, as we have a crack prize fighter in our Private First-class Torrence. ohterwise known as "Battling Torrence of the army." Private Crawford, though probably not yet known around this vicinity, ! although he soon will be, is now of! I the sick list, as he has lately had his ! bandage taken off his hand. The i boys of the detachment are glad ol this fact, since he is about the only one who is able to build furniture that the boys enjoy sitting on. and surely the boys want to have seats. | You cannot blame them for that, can I you ? I Our genial Captain Peyton has been I able, after a good deal of trouble, tc i obtain a motorcycle for the use of the infirmary. We have with us one who I can drive a motorcycle, even in his j sleep. His name is Private First-class j Wynn. Have you never heard of him? j Well, do not be surprised when you do, ' hitting it up after the Germans. He ! has promised to teach the members of the detachment to ride such a machine as he is driving, but we do not . believe that he can clo so, for the simj pie reason that the J?oys are not ali lowe dto ride it. Wo advise Wynn . to buy one of his own and give all the boys a chance. [ Sergeant Stahl has been waiting paI tiently for his appointment as ser! ??.. m fi)-ui..?ijiss and at last received i that appointment. He is now not an acting first sergeant, but a full-hedged ' hon-ut sergeant first-class. You can 1 b>> sure that he will make this de: lach'ncnt one to be recognized throughout the camp at least. I We have in our midst a sextet which is to be envied. And the boys are anxious to have them sing before I an audience, so that they can have something to be proud of. They can tsing anything that is asked of them, ' just so they know it. Give them a I chance, boys, give them a chance, j Come on. show yourselves. Privates | Gorman Murray.

Private Sallustio can enjoy himseli most when singing an opera, and we hope that he will give a specimen ol his ability very shortly. We have forgotten our Scotch singer, Private Scott, I loves to imitate Harry Lauder in his : favorite songs, "Roamin" in the Gloamin' " and "It's Nice to Get Up in the Mornin'."

They claim that the govI eminent should furnish free transpor| tatlon. But they agree that the prob! lem of passes Is one to be dealt with land conquered. 1 ? I - ...... ?III rt ? A j neveV complains about his "chow." ; He claims that "it Is a matter of taste. If you don't like it, spit it out," and ' we agree with him. He has a queer :j expression which he uses frequently, j but it takes a man who has been acquainted with for a long time to know what he means by it. "Pipe" is the expression, but is not so much the expression, but the gestures that accompany the expression which makes I it so bewildering. Last, but not least, we must bring forth before the limelight our "Pride of the Army.' ' Private Emerson right| ly deserves to be called that, for noth| ing gives one more pleasure than to I gaze upon his beautiful features, and , honestly say he is a pride. I There is something in the atmos! phere, in this part of the country that I makes the moustache grow, at least, 1 so it appears in our detachment, for ! wherever you look you are bound to 'see one. Private Brown claims that it makes him look oldei'. Private , Owens says that it makes him look more aristocratic. Of course they all . have an excuse. But the most plausiI ble is that they are too poor to get a II shave. Shave yourselves, is our ad,1/Jce to you men. rs We must say that we enjoy imfmensely the privileges of the Y. M. j C. A.

BUILDING 104. ITo the Editor of the Trench in Camp: Some say that the motion pictures on Thursday, the sixteenth, were the 11 best that -we have ever had. The double reels were in perfect working ' I order, and the light clear and steady. 11 But if the truth in told, thses were i not what made the pictures such a success, for much of it was due to J'the music, which was without ques,jtion the best that we have ever had. . i The musician was Sergeant Ramond I Lepers, 1st engineer corps of the . j French army, who is one of our guests . i here from France. We were all not 11 only charmed by his music, but also I' by his personality and hearty willingness to be of service. Our French guests are admired and loved by ajt that know them. jy ,'j " /< I LEARN TO SI Anybody interested in I and especially the valiant Greene, are invited to try n ' jab mkk v'%1 |m3m ^ m Uj " ' " - ' -M : : -41 1 < HEADQUARTERS, 39TH.

That they made "stunt" night at the "Y" a success last week was clearly shown by the repeated "come backs" they made.
