Well, If It Occured,
Then It Happened
This story goes back to 1908
when Congress actually forgot
to appropriate money to pay
Army officers and enlisted men.
After six months without pay,
a certain sergeant major, out
for a walk, sighted his colonel,
a very straight-laced old man.
Crossing the street and salut­
ing, the sergeant said:
“Colonel, sir, I hate to bother
you during off-duty hours, but
—look, sir. I’m broke; can you
lend me some money?”
The colonel drew himself up
haughtily.
"Sergeant, get the devil hack
where you came from. I’m
working this side of the street
—you work the other."

Being afraid the other officers

stepped forth and with a guitar

Pvt. Bill Stankewitz who was on
hand to cover the party adds that
the most amusing part of the1 pro­
gram took place when Sgt. Keough
and Pet. Pfiefer joined hands and
entertained by doing a jig.
