" So
I said "Well I guess I will win as many of them as you will win." That shut
him up for a wile but finely he says "You have got enough chest to wear
a whole junk shop on it." So I said "Well I am not the baby that can't
win them." So he says "If you ever happen to be snooping around the bosh
trenchs when Fritz climbs over the top you will come back so fast that the
Kaiser will want to know who was that speed merchant that led the charge
and decorate you with a iron cross." So I said "I will decorate you right
in the eye one of these days." So he had to shut up and all the other boys
give him the laugh.
Well Al jokeing to one side if I half to go back home without a meddle it
will be because they are playing favorites but I guess I wouldn't be left
out at that because I stand ace high with most of the Frenchmens around
here because they like a man that's always got a smile or a kind word for
them and they would like me still better yet if they could understand more
English and get my stuff better but it don't seem like they even try to
learn and I suppose its because they figure the war is in their country
so everybody should ought to talk their language but when you get down to
cases they's a big job on both our hands and if one of us has got to talk
the others language why and the he--ll should they pick on the one that's
hard to learn it and besides its 2 to I you might say because the U. S. and
the English uses the same language and they's nobody only the French that
talks like they do because they couldn't nobody else talk that way so why
wouldn't it be the square thing for them to forget theirs and tackle ours
and it would prolongate their lifes to do it because most of their words
can't be said without straining yourself and no matter what kind of a
physic you got its bound to wear you down in time.
