INTRODUCTION

 F YOU were guaranteed another such 
 trip as Serf,'eant Strauh has sketched 
 here would you re-enhst? Or is once 
 enougli hut not too much? This brings 
 up the sul)ject of the next war, for 
 
 which we all have our own plans, no 
 
 doubt. After those four days in Ilommes 4(), Chevaux 8 
 from Brest to Remircniont, some of us concluded that 
 we'd be cbevau.c in the next war; they don't travel so 
 numerously, and tliey'rc used to sleeping on their 
 feet. So far as is known the only man of the 326 who 
 had a good .sleep during those four days was Woyti- 
 sek, who stretched his belt out full length, passed it 
 around a stanchion and under his arms, and slept. 
 He needn't worry aljout the next war, with such 
 talent. Besides, he'll probably have lots of room in 
 his Homme.s 40, because the rest of us are either going 
 to be horses or officers. 
 
 Some even say that the next war will be "For 
 Officers Only", but that remark must be discounted 
 a bit, being a direct steal from a sign frequently seen 
 in the A. E. F. There is some basis for the opinion, 
 however, for the officers have an easier time of it than 
 
 even the cheraux. There was Lt. Kahn, for instance, 
 who ran (it .seemed as if he were running, didn't it?) 
 .so cheerily at the head of the column on that hike into 
 the mud around Rambluzin and Benoit-Vaux. He 
 didti't have a |)ack with three blankets and a bed sack 
 and rations and an overcoat and a leather jerkin and 
 a few things like that to carry. Of course, we didn't 
 carry them all the way — they were dumped in a 
 Frenchman's cart and got lost up near Verdun, where 
 they shook with the noise of the guns. Those packs 
 got further into action than the rest of the 326, which 
 is a shame. 
 
 Then there was our Major, Simpson. He was so 
 successful in his anti-tobacco crusade at Remiremont 
 that he was promoted to Lt.-Col. and left us in a 
 cloud of smokes. Various other officers got balled up 
 and left us for one reason or another, and Lt. Duncan, 
 having failed to get a tran.sfer to the infantry, dashed 
 to Company C, which he tried to prove to himself and 
 the company was the next best thing. 
 
 jVIeantime the non-officers were making various 
 discoveries, such as the cost of cognac (yes, it is pro- 
 nounced "coney-ac") in francs and days in the guard- 
 
house; liow to say "Promenade? Mademoiselle?"; 
 how to get everytiiiuf;; hut their eyes under cover 
 when tiie (iernian ])lane came over; where to buy 
 chocolate; that the French children would beg ciga- 
 rette like this; "Cigarette? Cigarette?" and smoke 
 them too; and many other essentials. 
 
 One of the greatest discoveries was that of the 
 French name for cheese, which is fniiinitje. We all 
 soon liked the French condensation of assorted odors 
 called /romfl.(/e. One man, however, forgot the name 
 just as he got in the shop, and after much stuttering 
 grabbed his nose, made a terrible face, and did a 
 circle with his forefinger. Then, all smiles of com- 
 prehension, symjiathy and eagerness to be of service, 
 Madame took him by the arm and led him out to the 
 family latrine. 
 
 That was worth going all the way to France for — 
 and it wasn't the only or the first time that we made 
 startling discoveries in unexpected ways. For in- 
 stance, what the Y entertainer had in the pocketbook 
 she droppetl at Coblenz — but that, to quote Kipling, 
 is another story. 
 
 After the Battle of Remiremont those who sur- 
 vived the hike and didn't drown in the nmd and 
 didn't get sent off on telegraph, telephone or wireless 
 
 details amused themselves and kept the officers out 
 of mischief by policing up the woods. .Vt least that's 
 what we gave out we were doing, but the chief prod- 
 ucts of our searches were souvenirs and such essen- 
 tials as fire-building materials in the form of dead 
 branches and live cartridges. About this time, also, 
 numerous experts in shirt-reading develo])ed. The 
 result of stopping in an open ])lace in the woods to 
 read a shirt was a high rate of mortality. 
 
 Though none of us hatl any dope except the usual 
 rumors, we were only marking time for the .Vrinistice, 
 wliich we heard al)out l)rigiit and early on the morn- 
 ing of November 11. .Vfter we had listened to the 
 ofliicial French, (lerman, and English wireless dis- 
 patches ringing the bell on the fight we gave a yell — 
 and resumed the hunt. From that time on more and 
 more of us began to do real work, until the Top 
 Sergeants had terrible times picking K. P.'s. This, 
 and a striking .scarcity of mail, ]>ained us exceedingly, 
 but insteatl of moving west, each jump took us north. 
 We were "picked troops for the Armj' of Occupation". 
 
 Would you have missed it? Dun-sur-Meuse, for 
 instance. Straub couldn't show it in his sketches, but 
 it was there, in a shell hole in a German graveyard, 
 that a new use was discovered for Signal Cori)s pliers. 
 
They iiiiikc good soiivcnir-tootli pullers. The iiiiiii 
 who extracted the Geniuiii tooth says he is going to 
 patent a muffler to absorb the disagreeable moist 
 dock that you hear when a tootli comes out of a 
 decayed socket. It was here, too, that one of the 
 Mess Sergeants sought distraction from his troubles 
 by cane-hunting in the trenches. The cane was 
 mostly buried in some fresh earth and it had a grand 
 handle entirely. Remembering tales of man-traps, 
 he scoured about for some wire, respectfully lassoed 
 the cane, retired hastily to the other end of the wire, 
 and, holding his breath, pidled. He got neither a 
 cane nor an explosion — only a handle. 
 
 Virion came next, where the people were so glad to 
 see us and waved home-made flags of dress-goods and 
 even of paper. Here Aeting-Top Sergeant Hegna of 
 Co. A earned fame by ])icking some .seven men as 
 "available for K. P." and crowning the indignity by 
 posting their names where all could see. 
 
 After Virton came Grevenmacher, which mostly 
 seemed bewildered — and more commercial in the 
 matter of souvenirs. Then came Germany and Witt- 
 lich with its billets, the l)est the 3''2(i had yet struck. 
 Some of us seemed to think that (lermany should be 
 given credit for those billets, and that it was a pretty 
 
 nice country. Of course it's natural to curse out a 
 place where we have didiculties, even though they 
 may not be the fault of the place. Also it's natural 
 to like a country where we have better treatment, 
 c\en though the im|)n)Vcnienl is due to the fact 
 that the country is unlouched t)y the war; that we 
 took what we wanted, as c()n(|uerors; and that the 
 (iernians faithfully obeyed the propagandist "look 
 pleasant" orders from their own leaders on the other 
 side of the Rhine. 
 
 It was a long wait at Wittlich, enlivened by Paris 
 leaves and other distractions, but we finally got out of 
 there, and now we're where we belong. To each one of 
 us these sketches will bring varied memories, back in 
 the ease of home. What we have been through has 
 been too big U> \h- grasjjcd all at once. Perhai)s on 
 the s[)ot we were too busy — even kicking — to "get" 
 it all; |)erhaps we were too harassed, loo much in the 
 midst of things, to get the proper perspective. 
 
 Here is your chance, men of the 'H('). Take a look 
 at your trip from American eyes, from your eyes, 
 from those eyes set comfortably in your own head and 
 that head and all the rest of you sitting i)retty right 
 at home.
