SAVAGE BRIGADE
THE FUG FINE
PARIS.—The “savage” brigade is
the name by which a certain Lri\. de
of the American army is known, ac
cording to Paul Ginist.v, the Petit
Parisien’s special correspondent who
describes a visit tout he has just
paid it. It is composed of volun
teers from Michigan and Wisconsin,
who are mostly young university
men. They have a marching song.
which goes:
“The kaiser has no chance,
We’ll shoot him in the pants.”
When Ginisty saw them they were
j at respose after nine consecutive
i hard days fighting, during which
they had discarded everything but
' their munitions and had only been
able to get a little food three times.
; When they were relieved they were
worn out but they had rewon a wide
: enough stretch of ground to com
| pensate them.
One of their officers told a few
stories about his men. Two of
! them, he said, had advanced so
j rapidly that they found themselves
: surrounded by the enemy. They
j dashed at a machine gun, killed the
gunners and turned the quick
| shooter on the enemy, one firing,
; the other slipping in the bands of
; cartridges and so kept them at a
1 distance and cleared a wray back to
their own side.
, A doctor found one covered with
; blood- “You’ll have to carry him”
said the doctor to the stretcher
i bearers.
[ “Ah! To the depot for that!" re
; plied the soldier. “I am not so
; tender, just guide me!”
“In this brigade are many young
men of German descent,” writes
Ginisty. “Their atavism has dis
appeared, they are now pure Ameri
! cans, thinking and acting as Ameri
i cans. A few days ago a bit ol re
connaissance work was wanted waich
needed a man prepared to take
risks. A volunteer presented him
self whose name showed his Ger
man origin:
“ ‘So much the better’, he said
with a smile, ‘if the Boches fire
upon a Boche.’
“He returned wounded, but bring
ing the information that was re
quired.”

BOYS FED WELL
AT
E
AN IRISH PORT.—The American,
boys who are manning the destroy
ers at this base are fed well and
have developed appetites that have
won the admiration of ‘he officers '
of the fleet. At the navy reerea-;
tion center ashore, the restaurant'
vies with the theater in popularity*'j
notwithstanding the men get plenty '
of good food on the' destroyers and !
tenders in port.
After doing justice to a hearty;
mess aboard ship early in the even-1
ing, scores of them may be seen!
‘eating a little something,” usually1
i steak or eggs, before the show ■
it 8 o’clock and after the perform
ince many of them eat again be-;
fore returning to their ships.
The old army tale of “beans,
jeans, beans, morning, noon and
light” does not fit the destroyer
nenu when in port for there is
ilenty of good meat and green stuff
’rom the country-side. But now
md then they have beans, not the
oupy white-looking kind but brown
uscious jnes with plenty of molasses
■ooked with them.
It is not always smooth sailing
n the food line on the destroyers
lowever. In rough weather these
little craft pitch and roll until it
is impossible to operate a galley or
even for men to sit in one place
long enough to eat. Canned meats
and biscuits are provided for such
emergencies but there are times
when even these prepared foods can
not be handled.
During one prolonged period of'
bad weather one sailor had missed
meals and was very hungry. He;
managed to get hold of a can of
tomatoes and a loaf of bread, but
I never enjoyed them. While mak-;
j ing a dangerous trip on deck, with:
his food in one hand and grasping
a cable with the other, a terrific
wave struck the ship, bowling it
far over onto one side. Away went
the can and loaf as the sailor seized
the cable with both hands to save
himself# and then proceeded to his i
station still hungry.
Such instances are rate, however,
particularly at this time of the year!
when the weather is more enjoyable.'
There is food aplenty while at sea,1
and when in port the mess table I
would make a rationed English j
gentleman smack his lips as the \
generous portions of roast beef, J
steak and other things are passed I
around.
