.1 A G N . -' N .. , Q - f im. -Q! :I ' S QA Some of them know some Bum jokes too, which is your cue to laugh when you hear them. Only donlt laugh at the refreshers on their 2nd echelons. As I've said five or six times before, these ten refreshers this year had a hard time. I guess if they hadn't known all about King Alfred the Great, it might have been harder. They got one of the most painful educations in 10 weeks that the captains ever went thru. Of course it did the Colonels good seeing the other boys do their stuff and they can go back to their regiments and be meaner than ever. But thats what Colonels are for. As for me give me liberty or death-but no refresh- ments. When I get to be a Colonel my kitchen section is going to be too Wore out to stand any knockin around Biglerville besides I feel like yfxl Caesar did when he said, See XE Naples and Die, only iI'd 'IK change it to See Benning Dj! AL once and don't come back .,, fm lvl-I until your grandchild grows up. cM1H6 aren't going to if I get 'em While they're youngj. Meanwhile I think they ought to send lots more 3 W refreshers down here. The 2 L, Captains need the work.

I924 DOUGHBOY CONFERENCE---WORKING IN THE FIELD The object of the conference this morning is to bring before you Infan- try Officers' lower intelligences the great problems that beset the Engineer when he plans out the methods you will have to follow when you construct Field Works. The word Field Works is possibly a misnomer, for the work is really all done when the Engineers plan the modus operandig all that the Doughboy has to do is dig. Of course, I think you can understand this, trenches are generally dug somewhere in a field so that the word Field is cor- rect. In other words, only half of the term is incorrectg or, in other words, the expression Field Works is about 5O'l correct. In the first place we have to determine how much can be done. This requires complicated-you will doubtless consider them complicated-tables. On the blackboard here I have copied the tables out of the pamphlet which you all have in your pos- session but you will be able to read my chalk figures much more easily than the clearly printed ones in the pamphlet. Now this number here, this 8, rep- resents the amount of trench two feet wide, two feet deep, and two feet long- ' '177 'f Nilwfiff. ' ' ' I . . ,tri in other words two-no, I ,.
