THE Best Story I HAVE Heard by Arthur Owen. IN the early days of the war a very smart sergeant-major was drilling a squad of recruits. He gave them no rest; he fired orders at them with the rapidity of bullets leaving a Lewis gun. “Squad, Shun! Right turn! Left turn! About turn! Quick march! Halt!” he shrieked. One of the squad started to walk off. “ Hi. where are you going to. No. 4?” roared the sergeantmajor. No. 4 turned. “ Where am I going?” he asked. “ I’m off—l’m fed up with you.
