George B. I,ake. We here meet you for the first time, and, like a good soldiers, sa- lute you. Our size is small and our dress may not be all that one could desire; bilt, did you ever no- tice an acorn? It isn't very big nor very prelly< but look what comes of it in time! We hope that Ihis little paper will please you and that you will give it your ear- nest and whole-hearted support. It is )(Mir paper, and wo will hope you will do all you can to make it the kind of paper you will be proud of. We want everyone to help by turning in news" items, stories, verse, pictures, jokes or anything you think ought to be in a paper like this. We can not use everything we get, but will do our best. 1)0 not be discouraged if the stuff you send us is not used, but keep trying. Read this little paper and then send it home to the folks. It will tell them a lot about how you are doing. I>et's all get to- gether now, and BOOST! The medics of the Hospital at Camp Zachary Taylor have sent a challenge to our stickmen. which has been ac- cepted. Kleven paslimers from tho Bine Grass State will journey hero and our batsmen threaten to supplant their sunny smiles with a well chas- tened and meek appearance. We are uninformed as to Taylor's prowess as yet, but the coming game will give lis a good line on the rela- tive speed of one of the other hospital teams with whom we Will mingle qh the diamond this summer. Owing to the former lack of base- ball paraphernalia, the hospital team has been delayed somewhat in early practice, but a good showing has been made by the men who have come out, and the prospects are bright for a good season. Uniforms are now on the way and a |)leiitiful supply of gloves, bats, balls, etc., is on hand. The diamond has been cleaned and rolled and is in fast condition. There is room on the hospital team for speedy men and the game with Taylor should give us a line on the probable regulars.

There is one thing, and one thing only, that makes a soldier different from a civilian and that thing is dis- cipline — instant andi willing obedience to all orders, rules and regulations given by one's military superiors. All s#ldiers are subject to discipline. The Captain, the Colonel, even the Com- manding General, must give "instant and willing obedience" to the orders he receives from higher authority and must abide by the regulations and articles of war. No discipline is pleasant, but it is essentially neces- sary, not alone in the army, but in every walk in life. An organization is judged by the discipline of the men in it. If you are sloppy in your dress, careless afcout saluting, unghaved or dirty, every real soldier will say, "He must belong to a bum outfit." Every civilian who sees a soldier fail to sa- lute an officer will not think the sol- dier "cute," but will say to hitwself, "He is a poor specimen of a soldier if he can't even obey the simplest or- ders." It is an honor to us all to be permitted to render the courtesies common between soldiers. As long as we wear the uniform of our coMn- trys army, let us uphold its glorious traditions by maintaining the strict- est discipline at all times. The "Goldbricking Quintet," Misses Lane, Kolburne, Johnson. Sellard and Goldman, nurses and diphtheria sus- pects, now in isolation, with idle hours and busy brains, have com- posed the following poem: "IF" (With Apologies to Kipling.) If you can keep yourself inside the window when all about Are hanging out and blaming it on you; If you're .positive that you're negative when all men doubt you. And make allowance for their doubt- ing, too; If you o^n wait and not be tired by waiting. Or gargling, don't gag too awful mu»h. Or being painted don't give way to fainting — And yet don't look too hopeful or smile as such; If you can dream and not give way to snoring, Police your room and yet take all the blame; If you can meet with negative and positive boring, And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to h^ar the verdict spoken. Twisted by Corke, who on "dip cooties" dotes; Or see tjie negatives you've piled up broken. And strive to get some^ more wi(th worn out throats; If you can make one heap of your two negative winnings. And risk it all with one turn of the swabbing stick. And lose — and begin again at your be- ginnings. And take it like a soldier and a brick; If you can force yoi^ heart and nerve and siiiew. When Clark with iodine must wal- low. And not dare gulp when there is noth- ing in you. Except the will that urges you to swallow; If you can kill a guinea and keep your virtue. Or take a walk nor spread the dip.-jy germs; If you can see the whole post going by you. And not cuss or cry or cringe or even squirm; If you can fill the unforgiving media v/ith sixty dead bacilli, pure as pearl. Yours is the Fort and everything that's in it, — And what is more you will be out, my girl. WATCH tTS GROW OUR ENERGETIC FIREMAN (With Apologies to the Author) Wish I were a little rock, A-sitting on a hill, A-rtoing nothing all day long. But just a-sittin's still. I wouldn't walk, I wouldn't talk, wouldn't even wash; I'd just sit still a thousand years. And rest myself, b'gosh. (Inspired by experience at the nurses' home. XEWSPAPEK MEN AND >VOMEN STEP FOinVARD Every position on the staff of this paper from editor-in-chief to society editor is open to the best man or woman who can be found to fill it. And a man with business ability is wanted for circulation manager. It is the intention of the promoters of the paper that it shall be edited, published and managed by enlisted men, with the assistance of the nurses, occupational therapy workers, recon- struction aides, physiotherapy work- ers and all other interests working for the good of the patients in U. S. A. General Hospital No. 2.5. Every- one in Ft. Benjamin Harrison should be interested in its success, for rea- sons that are too numerous to men- tion. Now, step up, all you editors, re- porters and scribes. It's great fun. Come today. Next week the posi- tions may be filled. WATCH ITS GROW NURSES TAKE UP DRILL The awkward squad steps up and the agony begins. "Now when I say fours right,' go to the right! One's left foot is left and it must be the right one at the right time. Stand on right foot, advance left and to the rear, march! No! no! You can't turn to the left; it isn't being done!" Capt. Perry deserves a rest, but he can't be spared. IVIisses Hammer, White and Olsen, overseas nurses, reported here for duty this week. We now have eight nurses on duty at this hospital from the A. E. F. A brilliant success was the dinner and reception at the Red Cross House May 5, in honor of Miss Parks, Chief Nurse, who left for a vacation in the East. The drill inspection by Capt. Perry doesn't include the buttons on your dress, but that is about all that does escape. No time to gather "goat feath- ers" at drill. Miss Sadie Shuck started Wednes- day for that Kansas facm home. Miss Ida Overlie is on a short leave at Delphi, Ind. Miss Holterman, dietitean, is en- joying a short leave "at Golden City, Missouri.
