-aa--v-.fl! THE SOUWVESTER, IQI8 From Them Truck Company VVe belong to the Motor Truck Department of the Quartermaster Service. It is our duty to carry supplies to the troops and to transport these troops from place to place. Wfhen we get overthere,', and we expect to be there soon, it will be our duty to supply the men in the trenches with food, clothing, and other necessities. The trip from the base of supplies to the trenches will be made at night so as to avoid the ire from the enemy artillery as much as possible. All of us are anxious to go to France and ,render the best service we know how. But- whether we return or whether we are sacrihced overthere, we shall .cherish to the last the memories of the days we sp-ent at Drury, and the friend- ships we formed there. A ' I CORPORAL RALPH A. SNAVELY. Company M , 53rd Pioneer Infantry, U. S. A. The Pioneer Infantry is a new and unique department in our army. It may be designated as a compromise between the Infantry and the Engineers. It re- sembles the Engineers in that both are armed with picks, shovels, and tape-lines. It can best be compared with the Infantry as follows: the Infantry fights a while, then rests, and the Pioneers fight a while, and then work. We are contented in every respect, save one, namely, the distance from us to Berlin is not decreasing proportionately with the rising of our fighting ire. LIEUT. JAMES E. RUFFIN. U. S. Naval Training Station Life in the Navy can not be beaten. VVe hit the deck, which means climbing out of our hammocks at 5 a. m. After a bit of exercise with mop sticks, brooins and other implements of similar nature, we chow, Ordinarily, but not always, we have beans, bread and butter and cofee. Then we report for the daily detail, if we have finished training. If not we stand by for orders, which usually mean drill, drill, and more drill. My detail happens to be pub- licity and propaganda work. VVe knock off at 4:30 p. m. and 'go ashore' or study or do as we please. The average period of training here is six months. However, men frequently are detailed for certain duties on the station, as has been the case with me. Eventually we all shall be sent to sea and all of us who now call Great Lakes home anxiously await the day when we will be ordered to sea-and a chance at the Kaiser. ' I'm sure that most of you will be interested to know that a majority of our instructors here are ala A. P. Hall, that is they are salty, SAM. D. EUSON.
