With empty sleeve and a face amess,
I'm no more than half a man, Iguess,
And it's tearing my heart slowlyapart,
And I wonder how I'll make a newstart.
It's the coming back, I hate worstof all,
It grates on my nerves worse thangall,
A wreck, they'll say, when I landtoday,
And with sighs of pity they'll turnaway.

For it isn't so hard to go in andfight,
When you know your cause ismore than right,
And it isn't so hard for men todie,
The hardest of all is to hear folkssigh.

Just take and shake my one goodhand,

BUCK PRIVATE McCOLLUM'SPOEMS, WRITrEN AFTER WORLD .WAR I, ARE STILL APPROPRIATE
Printed below are additional poems extracted from Buck PrivateMcCollum's poems that were a part of the "Lost Battalion" History,published shortly after World War I-but oh, how well do they reflect thoughts of Ninth Division Joes during those days of trials andtribulations:

'CRUISING' AROUND CHICAGO
You're tired and want to restan<i do a little reading! Well, wehave the Chicago Public Librarywhich is about four blocks eastof the hotel. This houses one ofthe largest colle~tions of booksin the world. The reading roomis open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
OBSERVATION TOWER
You say to heck with thistraveling around, let's go wherewe can see Chicago aU at once.OK, we will go south on LaSalleStreet from our hotel for sixblocks and. go into the Board ofTrade buildingan<i take an elevator to the observation tower.Here we can see out over Chicagoand surrounding terito:rY for overfifty miles on a clear day.
It's dark now so let's finish ourreconnaisance party by a ... shorttrip to Grant Park and see Buckingham Fountain. From 9 p.m. to9 :30 p.m. there is a full color display. This is one of the sights yo'umust take in while in Chicago. Inthe opinion of this writer it is oneof the most beautiful things hehas ever seen.
After the fountain is shut offwe take a bearing to the northwest and come back to the Sherman Hotel where all our buddieswill be.
Remember it's Chi. in July.P.S.: Did you know that Chi
cago is General Eddy's hometown?
Museum of Science and Industryon the north side of Jackson Park.Here we find extensive exhibitsrelating to scientific,engineering,industrial, and medical progress.The best thing about this placeis that you can operate some ofthe equipment yourself and havea good time. This is another perfect place for the kids.
HERE ARE THE MONKEYS
From Jackson Park let's go west·for a few miles until we come toBrookfield, a suburb of Chicago,and there we find the ChicagoZoological Society's park. Thereisn't an iron bar in the place toobstruct your view of the animals.Their areas of habitation are designed so that they cannot get toyou and you cannot get to them.A zoo which is a little closer toour hotel is the Lincoln Park Zoowhich is north of Grant Park afew blocks.
Pictured above is an interior view of the sPillcious bedroomsthe Sherman Hotel bas available for just as many former Nintllmen as will get on the ban and make the Chicago Convention amust trip during July, 1950.

Disappointment over the smallturnout for the 1949 State Convention held in Hotel Bradfordlast spring which resulted in a financial loss for the Chapter hasresulted in a more cautious approach for the forthcoming 1950State Convention. Big ideas, bigplans, and big times are OK if theconvention is 'well attended, but ifinterest and attendance does notwarrant such a gigantic undertaking, then the only ans"..er is tohave the convention on a commensurately smaller scale.
Considerable objection is expected in this regard, but the samefellows who do all the' work yearafter year are in no mood to donate so much of their time andenergy in a venture that will notat least break even. These conventions have never bee11. run ona profit basis. The idea has beento have the annual elections, havea, good. feed, see some good entertainment, bring along the wife orgirl friend, see your old buddiesand renew "auld acquaintance."As long as the Chapter breakseven, financially, and everybodyhas a goood time, then the hardworking committees are morethan satisfied.
It appears that the only wayin which the Chapter can have abig convention in 1950 is to havea sufficient demand for it. Thismeans that your feelings in thematter will have to be madeknown 'to the Chapter. But eventhis isn't enough. In the past, toomany have promised to. attendand' at 'the last moment failed, to

the thinking of military mindsfrom other sections of the glo~e.
FROM SOUTH AMERICA
More than half of the alliedfamilies are from South America,so of course th-ere's a Pan-American Club. At graduation time inJune, after some high-rankinggeneral has addressed the graduates and diplomas have beenpresented, Mrs. Eddy, wife of theschool's commandant, Lreut. Gen.M. S. Eddy, makes a speech inSpanish to the South Americanwives and gives each one a "diploma" which states that she Hhascontributed in high measure tothe promotion of inter-Americanunderstanding and friendship."
The college itself is exactlywhat the name implies. Eachstudent is taught how to be acommanding general, or a member of his staff. At' the end ofthe course each graduate is assumed capa,ble of" employing andfighting large land forces, withair support, of proportions up toand including an "army" which isusually m.ade up of one-quarterto one-half million men and. isheaded by a four-star ~eneral.
Study of campaigns of this scopemust of necessity be conductedlargely in the classroom on maps,charts, and the blackboard, thoughoccasionally a problem is lain onlocal ground~ in which case students take their maps out underthe elms for a look at the terrain.
One enthusiastic graduate is thepost chaplain, Lt. Col. KennethM. Sowers, an Episcopal priestwho took the course last year forthe purpose of kn owing better theproblems of his associates. Hesays the year's course taught himmore about how to think a problem through than any of his 11years of study beyond high school.A Catholic priest, Chaplain(Lieut. Col.) Benedict A. Henderson, of Seattle, is taking thecourse this year.

Joe Casey called The Octofoil's attention to the fact thatPages 28 and 29 of the December American Magazine hadseveral two and three-color pictures taken at the Commandand Staff School prominently displayed. Naturally all formerNinth men are aware of the fact that Lt. Gen. Manton S.Eddy is the Commandant at the College.
John J. Sughrue, Associate Editor of The AmericanMagazine very courteously has allowed The Octofoil the pr'ivilege of reprinting the story, which reads as follows:
By GLENN JOHNSTON -.---:-'----------The military world used to lo,ok
to Europe for the ultimate inschools for training senior officel'sto become generals-to Camberley's in England, the Ecole Superieure de Guerre in France, anathe Kriegsakademie in Germany.Today, however, the "Oxford" ofschools for future generals is theUnited States Army Command andStaff College at Fort Leavenworth,Kansas.
Although the school is primarily for the b-enefit of U. S.officers (447, ranking from captain to lieutenant colonel, arenow enrolled in the l'egular 10months' course), there are 45"allied" student officers from 26countries: Argentina, Belgium,Brazil, Canada, Chil-e, Cuba, Denmark, Ecuador, France, GreatBritain, Guatemala, Haiti, India,Iran, Italy, Mexico, Norway,Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Thai'land, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Uruguay, and Venzuela:Before the war most of thesecountries would have sent theirfuture generals to Europeanschools.
These students from fOl'eignlands are called Hallied" at FortLea.venwoI'th to avoid use of theword Hforeign," which might makethem feel like outsiders. The termis a euphemism, though, and hasno conn-ection with any formalalliance.14 WITH WIVES
Fourteen of the allied officersare at the school with their wivesand a total of 26 children, all of'whom seem to have taken upAmerican ways in a surprisinglyshort time. Several boys and girlshave join-ed local Scout troops.Brazil's Major H. A. Herrera's14-year-old boy, Heitor, has already become an Eagle Scout,which makes him the Scout equivalent of a general.
Except for a -few restrictedclasses, the allied students aremixed in with the U.S. studentsin the 12 classes of 41 pupilseach. Before the r-egular courseopens in September, however, theycome to the college for an 8weeks' intensive course in English language, since all regularclasses are conducted in English.The allied students pay no tuition,only their living expenses, sincethe entire cost of the school isbOI'ne by the U.S. Army for international good will.
U.S. students and their familieslive in army quarters on the post,but allied families, because oflimited housing, ar-e helped to findhouses and apartments in thenearby town of Leavenworth,Kansas. Each allied wife is sponsored by a U.S. student officer'swife. Clubs are formed to learnEnglish, sew, and chat. There areconducted shopping tours toKansas City, 30 miles down theMissouri River, which borders the6,500-acre reservation.
