The recent Turkish armistice led George Cohan to say: "The Turk has well been called unspeakable. I met one once at Pera. T have seven wives,' he told me, calmly blowing perfumed clouds from his hooka. " 'Merciful powers,' I exclaimed, 'how do you manage to pay their dressmakers' bills?'

GLOWING TRIBUTE TO 117TH ENGINEERS. tj.;-. ... ... * t* * (Continued from page 2, column 3.) cally taken Sedan, our division sector was moved to the right in order to allow the French, who were on our left, 4 as a matter of sentiment, to take SeP -/dan, which they did in great style. From this front began the hike into .Germany. On the March Into Germany. On the march into Germany, the engineers were at various times called on to perform different duties, all of which were promptly and properly done without question; they won commendation and praise from every source. When they reached Germany and the division "was set" detachments and details were scattered - over the entire divisional area up to 0; the Rhine river, and while other organizations were resting, the engineers were building stables, mess halls, operating public utilities, fixing electric lights, superintending Ger> man work on the roads and making ' crosses to mark the graves of their friends and comrades whose bodies . e/f were resting in German soil. In addition to this, the engineers had to furnish details for guarding rail roads, building and operating target ranges and were supposed to drill every day. Colonel Johnson, after much fighting and argument with the powers that be, finally succeeded in cutting out or reducing to a minimum the drill schedule, v "Carolina, Here's to You!" Because of sickness and wounded and other reasons, replacements have been brought into the regiment until when we left Germany practically r' every State in the Union was represented in our outfit. Their marching song, however, -continued to be "Carolina, Here's to You." * The welfare work of the Y. M. C. A. in the 42nd division averaged approximately 100,000 francs, or about $18,000 per month; this, in addition to the athletic supplies, educational supplies, newspapers, magazines and writing paper. The men of the 42nd division remitted through the Y. M. C. A. remittance department approximately 250,000 francs per m^nth, or about $45,000. In Germany our organization., in addi' , tion to its usual work, handled a money exchange department in which we handled 1,000,000 marks per ^ month; we averaged cashing about 400 checks and money orders per month. We had with the 42nd division 25 men and 21 women secre^ taries. We provided moving picture shows, professional and amateur vaudeville and minstrel shows, so that every outfit in the division had entertainment of some kind nearly every night. Our organization rendered .the fullest cooperation with Abonlofnei vaI?orlmie vxr/\i*lr aiiv vuapiaxuo AH tuv TT v/*Hf VUA \ educational directors organized classes in every unit of the division, and to my personal knowledge numbers of men who could not read or write, after a short period of instruction, w^ote letters to their folks at home * telling them of their progress. Athletic supplies were in every unit; football, baseball, basketball and other games were in progress continuously. Musical instruments, costumes and grease paints were furnished for all amateur shows, and an excursion boat was operated on the Rhine river exclusively for the 42nd division, and on this boat two representatives of the Y. M. C. A. provided refreshments free of charge. * t When the 4 2nd division on 23 trains began its movement from Germany to Brest, the following supplies were placed on these trains for free dis-i tribution on the trip of approximate-) ly 74 hours: 724,500 cookies, 575,000 Chesterfield cigarettes, 2S,750 pieces of chocolate, 23,000 cans of jam, 460,000 pieces of chewing gum,! 20,700 pieces of chewing tobacco,! 1 1.500 cigars, 2,300 pounds of sugar,) 1.152 cans of rnilk^ 760 pounds of ; cocoa powder. 1,650 packs of playing) cards, 3.312 checker games and 5,000 magazines, valued at approxi-; mately 150,000 francs, or $27,000. T-- (liflWoi)t TrtllHS. lit I Beginning at Camp Mills, the; 117th engineers regimental head-' quarters were in ">7 different towns in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and! Germany. \Vherever they have gone their conduct has always been that of gentlemen. Inhabitants of the var-; ious towns have invariably expressed j deep regret when they left. In addition to their conduct as men and soldiers when not in battle, their! work during the scraps has been such as to merit and receive the admira-, tion of every one. As was well said by the division commander in his general order: "The high quality of | the personnel, the bravery, self-sacrifice and patience shown by all} ranks under the most trying conditions have enabled it to fulfil its double mission with an admirable degree of efficiency," and their record has been, as was further stated in this order, "A record of ability, ef ficiency and soldierly characteristics." i Like other engineers, these men had no opportunity or desire to do anything flashy or spectacular. They did their duty as they saw it and asked for no special commendation or favors because of having taken part and performed their share of the work of saving the world from the dominion of the hellhound commonly called the kaiser. The following verse by Berton Braley fittingly describes to some extent the work of our engineers: The Engineers. "When the convoy crawls on a long white road, Straight to the blazing line, While the drivers nod as they guide their load On where the star shells shine, If a 'two-ten' drops with a roaring crash, The big trucks cease to roll, And the C. O. growls as he views the smash And swears at the 10-foot hole! " 'Job for the Engineers? Bring up the wrecking crew?

" 'Job for the Engineers? Never you mind the loss, Fritz has a hate, but the troops i can't wait; 1 See that they get across.

Something that 'can't be done,' Nevertheless they'll do it, yes: That's how they get their fun. Armed with a kit of tools, Careless of hopes or fears, ! Big jobs or small, you simply call? Call for the Engineers. I The engineers, like all others of ; our men who have offered their lives | as a sacrifice on the altar of freedom ; and liberty, appreciate the warm welcome that is given to them by the homefolks; naturally, they like their work to be appreciated and the 'hero stuff is all very good, but receptions ! and warm words of welcome soon I grow monotonous if the men are not ! provided with jobs where they can | earn a livelihood.
