BUGLE BLASTS
GOVEBNING THE
ARMY ^NATION
CAMP LEWIS, Feb. 14. — There
are bugle calls for most every move
ment a soldier must make in the
Army. He is awakened in the morn
ing by the bugle, ealled to assembly
by the bugle, called to breakfast by
the bugle, called to work by it, called
to sick report by it, his day’s work is
ended by it, and finally he is put to
bod by it.
And then, when his life’s work is,
complete and he is being lowered into
his resting place in a little pine box,
the bugle plays the last call, the most
beautiful of all calls, the same call
that every night sings the men toj
sleep n their tents—taps.
Has a Meaning of Its Own
Every company inu.-t have its bu
glers or trumpeters, whichever the
case may be, for it is provided by tne
Army regulations. Nothing is said
about any woitis to the calls, but troni
time immemorial every call has its
own words, and there are a? many
variations to the parodies as there are
lights on IVelfth - trccl.
i’hc reveille call comes first in the
morning, when the men are all sup
posed to get up. Probably the oldest;
verse set to the reveille tunc loliows.
“I can’t get ’em up, I can’t get on;
up, I can’t get ’em up in the morning;
I can’t get ’em up, I can’t get ’em
up, 1 can’t get ’em up at all.
Corp’ral worse than the privates;
Sergeants worse than the corporals;
Lieutenants worse than the ser-.
geants;
Ami the capt’ans worst of all.”

_ninr,in,_>, ^
Then the chorus comes in strong
with “I can't get 'em up, I can’t get
’em up, etc.”
The Most Popular of All
The words to the mess call are
another standard verse, although there
are many variations. This is one of
the mo.st popular calls in the Army,
and seldom, if ever, must be repeat
ed. The men never seem to have as
much trouble hearing m»;s call as
they do the other calls. The verse fol
lows:
“Soup-y, soup-y, soup,
Without a single bean;
Pork-y, pork-y, pork,
W'ithout a streak of lean;
Coffee, coffee, coffee,
Without any cream.
(Or, the weakest ever seen.”)
Means Much to Sick Soldier.
Sick call is just as adapted to Army
life as the other calls are, for sugar
coated pills and quinine are used ex
tensively by the medics. Sick call
follows:
“Come and get your quinine, come,
and get your pills,
Oh. come and get your quinine, come
and get your pills.”
The stable call, which sounds when
it is time to feed and water ihe horses
and mules, has a little more poetry
and rhythm in it. The words follow:
“Come all who arc able, and go to the
stable,
And water your horses and give ’“m,
some corn;
For if you don't do it, the colonel will
know it,
And then you will rue it, sure as
you're bom.”
The Most Beautiful Call
The last call of the day, the one
that follows “Lights out,” and the one
that puts the American soldier to
sleep wherever he may be the world
over, has more versions written to it
than any other call. Taps is the most j
beautiful call of all and its effect is.
soothing to the tired and weary body
of the soldier as he lies in his bunk
wooing sleep. Two of the versions
are: •
“Fades the night;
Ard afar
Goeth the day,
Cometh the night;
And a star
Lcadeth all,
Specdeth all,
To their rest.
“Love, good night.
Must thou go
When the day
And the night
Leave me so?
Fare thee well;
Day is done,
Night is on.”
The Final Call
After a soldier has “gone West,’ as
death is known in the Army, taps is
sounded as the body is being lowered
I
into the grave. The words that go
with the final call are:
“When your last
Day is past,
From afar
Some bright star
O’er your grave
Watch will keep
While you sleep
With the brave.
ALCOHOUFROM
BREAD BAKER
IS DISCOVEROR
GALLUP, N. M., Feb. 15. — A plan
to manufacture alcohol as a by-prod
uct of bread in bakeshops was reveal
ed here in the seizure of a stiil in the
bakery of George W. Keller, and a
quantity of liquid distilled from bake
oven fumes, containing per cent of
alcohol.
The raid on the property by Income
Tax Inspector Moore of the Internal
Revenue service was made on orders
received from Denver. Keiier was not
arrested. Officers are investigating
his assertion that he intended no eva
sion of the law, having erected the
still to work out a theory which he
hoped would be of value to the Gov
ernment in recovering alcohol from a
hitherto wasted product.
Keller's apparatus was crudely con- j
structcd, the vapor from the baking
bread being conducted from the over,
into a worm which was cooled by a
barrel of water, the alcoholic product j
being condensed and wasted upon the j
ground. Possession of the still is a:
violation of the Federal law.
Prominent citizens are said to be
backing Keller in his invention. Kell
er says quantities of alcohol can be:
manufactured by Army bakeshops
and bakeries in large cities for use
for war purposes at virtually no cost.
