In the form of a General Order,
adhering to military form. Mayor
General Bradley last week ad

•ers and enlisted men of the 95th
Division as follows:
"1 take this means to convey

ing in mind the meaning of our
American Christmas, while we are
far from our homes pieparing for
'he I attics that await us. let us
rededicate ourselves to the service
>f our country.
"Tlie spirit in which you have
met the obsetcles thus far en
countered is in your training augurs
tii II fm your future conduct against
greater obstacles. I anticipate we

in some remote battle area.
"Let us establish and maintain
a reputation for the 9titIt Division
of which we mid our countrymen
may be most proud. Our fuith in our
own capacities is reinforced by the
faith and devotion of our loved
ones at home.”
‘Lnder the Big Top,” care of “The Bill Board,” has been
the address for a good part of the life of 25-year-old Bernard
Maus. Now his address is more permanent since he answered
Uncle Sam’s call to the army. It is Pvt. Bernard Maus, Com
pany M, Col. Arthur J. Touart’s infantry regiment, Timber
Wolf division.
Maus is an entertainer by profession and has travelled
widely with circuses and to put on his act in theaters and
night clubs. For several years, he and his uncle, Arthur Maus,
appearing under the pseudonym of “The Mann Bros.” have
featured two acts: “The Two Golfers on the Rolling Globes”
and “Two Sailors on the Bounding Rope.” Bernard's ambition
at present is to have an opportunity to try out for perform
ances given by Camp Adair soldiers. He has sent home for his
Indian clubs and other equipment and is rounding into shape
again before admiring groups of his buddies in Company M.
The soldiet was born in the en
tertainment game, his parents
having been acrobats and they
travelled with circuses in the <>ld
country for years. Mau« says that .
