along slippery roads, and also extremely
useful when the wearer is engaged in kicking Germans in the face.

The Sam Browne belt is worn exclusively by officers serving with the
American Expeditionary Forces--that is, in the American Army. It is a
natty leather ornament, and much sought after. It is, in fact, the last
word--_dernier cri_--in gentlemanly attire.

As thin as a slice of ham,
A German spy was likely the guy
Who made them for Uncle Sam.
How did I sleep? Don't kid me--
My bed-tick's filled with straw,
And lumps and humps and big fat bumps
That pinched till I was raw.

Me and my two thin blankets

As thin, I guess, as a chorus girl's dress,
Well, I had a dandy time.
I'd pull 'em up from the bottom,
Whenever I started to sneeze,
A couple of yanks to cover my shanks,
And then how my "dogs" did freeze.

Or maybe to strain the soup,--
My pillows my shoes when I tried to snooze--
And I've chilblains, a cough and croup.

Bundled up under my chin;
