THE COLUMBIAN Functions of the Several Branches of the Army of the United States High and Bright Spots of a Very Illuminating Lecture Delivered by Major John P. Bubb, U. S. Infantry at Camp Whitworth, on July 11th, 1924 I-IE INFANTRY, so to speak is the whole cheese. She is the ll T5 queen of battle and wins wars with the able assistance of the K6 rest of the army. The Infantry is composed of doughboys 6N who habitually walk on their hoofs except when they can dodge it. The CAVALRY, much favored by artists in the days of romance, is the most colorful branch of the army. Its bright yellow gladdened the heart of the yellowlegs and never failed to make a hit with the fair sex. The Cavalry used to be the eyes of the army, but since the invention of airplanes its eyesight is somewhat weakened. Its main function these days is to take care of such of our patriotic citizens who on account of the size of their pedal extremeties or the shape of their legs hate to walk. The AIR SERVICE is the rising branch of the army. It can go quicker to any given point but it takes them longer to get started. The ARTILLERY consists of wagon soldiers who deliver the hardware, but they need the able assistance of the doughboys. They come in all sizes, big and small. The wagon soldier is the only mortal in the army who can pick his transportation. The ENGINEERS build bridges and roads and destroy them. They fight only on payday. The SIGNAL CORPS is the ubuzzy bee of the army that is in on everything provided the line of communication works well. The MEDICAL CORPS performs d-uties just beyond the grasp of ordinary human intelligence. We never did know what a genius was re- quired to roll pills. We just wonder how they got that way. Must be the inoculation. E The KOIVIIKAI.. WARFARE SERVICE is the bees' knees. But shhhhh! It mustn't be did, it's agin the rules. We have a hunch that the principal occupation of this great branch of the service is the manufacture of laugha ing gas for tooth carpenters. The QUARTERIVIASTER CCRPS exists for the sole purpose of giving Service bo the Line . Its main job is inventing alibis. The FINANCE DEPARTMENT is the most popular branch of the army. It hands out the 'necessary evil in silver cartwheels and greenbacks while the Comptroller General does not look. The ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT is engaged in the manufacture of the fireworks which makes a battle sound like a Fourth of July celebration. l..ast but not least, the GENERAL STAIFF has a monopoly of the brains of the army. As the name indicates, this noble branch is made up of men whose ambitiongis to become generals and they wield a Wicked staff getting there. Ninety-eight :lb

If you fill your pockets that will be enough. john Andresian, when reluctantly answering the invitation of the first sergeant to fall in: Gee, I wish I was Captain Grirnmer, then l wouldn't have anything to do. At the field meet, Mr. Cadet Pri- vate Dawson Funk of the two Wallas wanted to know when the medical ball relay was coming off. Lieut. Dyer, during manual of arms drill: nl-ley, you over there! Keep your muzzle out of the dirt. Sergeant Lilliblade: Who wants to ask the next foolish question? Corporal Rayburn: Don't you boys forget to eat your dinner. Capt. Lundy: Don't crowd, my voice is bigger than I am. Walker, at lecture on military sci- ence: What are we to do if the enemy runs faster than us? Sergt. Pallakowski: ul-lere, you fel- lows, sweep your bunks under. Francis Johnson. mascot of B is the only man in camp who rates a regu- lar major to wrap his spiral putts. Eisenschmidt of Du: I-low much more pay do the boys who were here last year draw than those in camp for the 'first time? Rollins, also of DH: The same plus 5 per cent. Say, Haddock, next time you sit down on a hike be sure that there are no ant hills around. 'Before l joined these wagon sol- diers, moaned Earl Burton Whitmore of Battery F, Nl thought a battery was a buttery and 'a battalion had something to do with cotillionf' Well, if you dance as well as you handle a '75', growled Jim Cope, you had better transfer to the Quar- termaster Corps.
