COMPANY AND DETA CHEENT NEWS.
COMPANY "E".
Corporal Phillips has been promoted to the grade of sergeant,
vice sergeant Klitzer, discharged.
We have noticed a cat around quarters lately that reminds us
very much of old "Nigger11. Perhaps our black feline happened into
the boiler room while Cutler was doing some of his "futurist work".
Sergeant Maxtor Ross and Sergeant Finley brought us the prize
news of the week. They, on hearing a strange noise at the rear of
the barracks, investigated and what did they find but Sergeant
Phillips with his head in a G. I. can, calling "Sergeant”, and an
swering, "Here".
The reservoir has become very popular with the entire company.
Some of the boys suggest moving the barracks up there.
MIf these are "¥o-see-ems", what are the "See - ’ems" like?, is
the refrain of the latest song hit in Company "E". The mosquitos
play their own accompaniment on the mosquito bars. It is a rare
treat to watch a General with several hard-boiled squads rout a
soldier.from his dreams. These mosquitos show a science that would
do credit to the Infantry School, at Fort Benning, Georgia, in theii
manreuver and nocturnal tactics to get under the bar and at their
victim. As persistent, wide-awake soldiers, they win the marbles.
