you must not forget that the weather
at Camp Meade Is more severe than that
experienced by the boys In the trenches.
It niitt bo cold In those dugout alone
the western front, but Captain J.unes
Patrick Donovan, our botlng Instructor,
who Is a Hrltlsh ofllfer, with nmre than
two yoars" experience on the tlKlitluR
lilies, throws up his hands when you
talk about low temperatures In Prance.
"it's cold over there." cays the fiuht
lint Irishman, "but It does not compare,
with l.lttlo Penn. Tills Is some cold
burp, nnd take It from me these, null

Its work, but owing to the ltiton'o cold

unable to attempt nntch In the !! Id of
iniiiy engineering.
HAS WON limit 1M.ACK?
I.lttl" mention has been made of thin
organization, hut the blame for that
must be placed on the broad shoulde'ls
of the censor. The Phlladelphlans who
weie catapulted Into this branch of the
ervico, which Is not considered mi lo
uinutli or active as Infantry work. hao
carved their way to a high place on the
honor roll of Hie l.lbeity Division.
Jirlelly, It l a digging and lighting

both. To be tiuthful. It Is at thl- writ
ing a better lighting unit than a digging
unit, for ntot of Its training has been
confined to th" Infantry school.
liesldes the ninny Infantry drills It has
found time lo dig, and as Its big achieve
ment points with pride to Its participa
tion 111 the coustruiiliiii woik of a
trench system that is as iierfei t as
any that can be found In I 'landers.
The nyeiage citizen has been led to
believe that an army engineer Is little
more than n ditch digger or road builder,
but that Is mi illusion. So far as the
301th lOnglneer outfit Is concerned It will
take equal rank with any Infantry or
ganization at l.lltle Penn. and not a
detail that selves Co develop all ellkicnt

Then he was made supply sergeant for

to this young man Is bet tedd by him-t-elf.
He says'
'"I have no kick to register. T am
well clothed, given tho best of food to
eat and enjoy many comforts. And,
I furthermore, t like my work; like It so
, well that at tho end of the war J shall

his talk by saying that Ills contact with

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
TO ARMY OFFICERS
v.
SINCE September, 1917, Kirsch
baum uniforms and overcoats
have been available to officers of the
United States Armies at prices far
below the usual retail selling basis.
An officer's service equipment, we
have always believed, deserves to be
classed, not as ordinary merchandise
but as a munition of war, in the dis
tribution of which no selfish thought,
no profiteering has any place. '
A large part of the regular retail profit
in the sale of uniforms has been vol
untarily and gladly relinquished by a
number of our retail associates. In
one particularly notable instance,, the
profit margin has been eliminated
altogether, and from this one source
alone many thousand officers have
been outfitted at actual wholesale cost.
For spring, we are in readiness to
announce an extension of this profit
limitation plan to tlie entire United
States, making it possible for an
officer to secure -at a minimum price
uniforms which in addition to ful
filling War Department regulations,
conform in every respect to the
Kirschbaum exacting clothesmaking
. standards.
As a means of certain identification
and as a universal safeguard to the
purchaser, each coat will bear a sleeve
ticket affixed in the KirschbauTti shops
and specifying the price 'at which it
may be purchased.
