Aid to Enemy
"Any American who wilfully
neglects to pay his taxes on
time or to invest every cent he
can in War Bonds is surely giv
ing aid and comfort to the
enemy . . . We have a job to
do and we are all called for
service to our country. Our
dollars are called to service
too. Let us all ask ourselves,
'Shall we b* more tender with
our dollars thaa with the Urea
of our sons?' " Secretary
Morgenthau.

SOLDIER
I am one of the fellows who
made the world sj'c for Democ
racy. What a crazy thai.; that
was. I fought and I foughl but
'
I had to go. 1 was called to
j class "A"—the next time I want
to be in Class "B". Be here
j when they go and be here when
they come back. I remember th«
day when I registered. I went
up to the desk and the man ii.
charge was ourmilkman. He said
"What's your name?" I said
j"You know my name." "What's |
your name?" he barked, so I told
him August Childs. He saic\
"Are vou an alien?" I said, "No,
jl feelfine." He asked me where I
jwas born and I said Pittsburg.
He said, "When did you first see
the light of day?" I said, "When
we moved to Philadelphia." He
asked me how old I was, so I
| told him 23 the first of Septem
ber. He said, "The first of Sep-,
1 tember you will be in France an!
that will be the last of August."
I
j The day I went to camp, I ;
guess they didn't think I'd live
i
long, the first fellow I saw wrote
on my card "Flying Corps." I
j went a little farther and some
fellow said, "Look what the wind
is blowing in." I said, Wind noth
j ing, the draft's doing it." On the
second morning they put these
| clothes on me. What an outfit.
As soon as you're in it you can
fight anybody. They have two
sizes: too small and too large.
The pants are so tight I can't sit
' down; the shoes are so big I

turned around three times and |
they didn't even move. And what
a raincoat they gave me. I?
the rain. I passed an of
■
ficer all dressed up with a funny
belt and all that stuff. He said,
"Didn't you notice my uniform
when you passed?" I said, "Yes,
what are you kicking about, look
I
what they gave me."
| Oh, it was nice—five below one
morning they called us out for an
underwear inspection. You talk
about scenery—red flannels, B. V.'
D.'s and all kinds. The union
suit I had on would fit Tony Ga
lento. The Lieutenant lined us
up and told me to stand up. I
said, "I am, sir, this underwear
just makes you think I am sit
ting down." He got so mad he

put me out digging a ditch. A i
little wh.le later he passed me
and said, "Don't throw the dirt
i
up here" I said, "Where am I
goint to put it?" He said,
another lole and put it in there."
I
Three days later we sailed for
France. Marching down the pier
1 had more luck. I had a Serg
eant who stuttered and it took
him so long to say "halt" that 27
of us marched over-board. They
pulled Us out and lined us upon
the pier and the captain came
and said "Fall in." I said, "!
have beer in, sir."
I was on the boat 12 days.
Seasick 12 da>s, nothing goin,.;
down and everything coming up.
I
Leaning over the railing all the
time. In the middle of my best
lean the captain rushed up and
said, "What company are you
in?" I said, "I am all by myself."
Talk about dumb people. I said
to one of the fellows, "1 guess
we dropped anchor." He replied, '
,"I knew they'd lose it, it's been
hanging out ever since we left
i
New York."
I
Well, we landed in France, and
we were immediately sent to th::
I
trenches. After 3 nights in il,
trenches, the cannons started to
roar and shells started to pass
t was shaking with patriotism. 1
tried to hide behind the trees but
there were not enough trees for
the officers. The captain came
around and said, "Five o'clock we
go over the top." I said, "cap
tain, I'd like to have a furlough."
He said, "Haven't you any red
blood in you ?" I said, "Yes, but
[ don't want to see it."
!
| Five o'clock we went over the
cop, 10,000 Austrians came at us.
The way they looked at me you'd
think that I was the one who I
started the war. Our captain
yelled, "Fire at will," but I didn't
know any of their names. I guess
the fellow behind me thought I
was Will because he fired his gun
at me and shot me in the excite
ment.
