BROKE IT UP.

It was • well known that. there was a fairly big two-up school operating on the bank of the river behind the camp, and when men had a few hours’ leave they walked down to the school for a game. Officer in charge decided that this was not in the best interest of the camp, so he called on two men and gave them instructions to go down to the two-up school and break it up. f “Report back to me when you have broken up the school and that will save further action,” he told them. He waited an hour, but there was no sign of the two men returning. Another hour passed, and still no sign of them. He was contemplating sending a man to see what was delaying them when he spotted , them approaching with bulging pockets and a broad grin on their dials. “What, have you two men been doing all this time?” he officer demanded. “You should j have done what I asked in less than half-an-.hour.” “Blime, don’t make it too hot,” “Bluey” replied. “We only had two bob to start with, and it 'took us an hour to work in the doubleheaded penny. .Anyhow, we’ve cleaned the school up all right, sir!” * , * * i Red Cross: Russia-Japan.
