HOW I WENT "OVER IhLKE WITH
PERSHING'S DIVISION
By HAZEL CARTER
Mrs. Hazel Carter of Douglas, Ariz., !s a young woman,
twenty-two, whose young husband, Corporal John J. Carter
of the United States army, was ordered to Franc* with the
Pershing expedition.
Determined to accompany him, she obtained a soldier's uni
form and fell in as a private on hU departure. She via five
days at sea on the transport before discovered through a
chance. After the arrival of the famous dlvlalon In France
she was returned home against her Wishes.
It Is a story of romance, dramatic In its qualities, full of the soldier color and
sttll la of real news valuo, since Mrs. Carter U the first to relate the details at UlAt
voyage and safe arrival flrst hand—one that made history.
COPYRIGHT. 1917. BY THE BELL SYNDICATE
The tirst thing he blurted out when
he reached that impromptu courtroom
was:
"Where's the kiddie?"
He was on. The only answer he got
was a heavy volley of cold looks. It
didn't take him long to discover a mili
tary court is no respecter of Cupid,
fie had a mighty uncomfortable half
hour worrylug, uutil he filially found
out I was safe. All thut time they
kept him busy answering questions and
denying he had planned the trip. It
was hard to make them believe he did
not know I was on the boat until we
were well outside of Sandy Hook.
They brought me back to confront
him and to question us together.
Wasu't I proud of him. though, when
I saw him standing there, straight and
trim and full of courage, his chin in
the air. his shoulders back, ready to
face any kind of music they had to
play! He half started toward me. and
I made a running jump for him.
"Attention:" shouted the quartermas
ter captain, pounding the desk with
bis fist. It was a hard situation for
him to handle. He saw that. We
both stopped short and fell into posi
tion. The habits and discipline of the
army certainly get a grip on you.
On the Grill.
I don't know bow long we were on
the grill. It seemed ages to me. We
stuck to our story—tbe trutb. They
brought in tbe Urst sergeant of my
husband's company and questioned
hini too. lie bad to admit be knew
nothing about it. He might have sus
pected, but be figured it was none of
bis business. He didn't add this, bow
evei*. Sticking your nose into other
people's affairs is a dangerous pastime
In the army.
Things looked pretty tough for us at
times, but I did not lose my sense of
humor. The Q. C. kept referring to
as "lie" part of the time and "she"
Ihe* ptber part. .Vow I was "Carter,"
like i? .regular. and again I was Mrs.
Carter. .When lie looked at me In my
soldier suif. jylth my hair cut short
like a man's, be not Asure me as
anything but a tJonfffaboy.
Finally they ordered the guards to
take me buck to the /BtatSfcoom. I did
uot care what happened to me as long
as they did not court martial tbe "old
man." as the soldier's wife caJl# her
husband. I knew that would break' bis
heart and mine loo.
While I was pacing the floor of that
small room waiting to he.tr what they
had decided to do a couple of rookies
passed outside the porthole.
"Whaddye think they'll do with her?"
asked one rookie.
"1 dunno. One o' tbe men that was
over in the Philippines sez they'll ei
ther cull out the tiring squad and have
her shot at sunrise or else they'll make
her walk the plank."
"You mean they'll put out n plank
and make her walk off the end of It
Into the ocean?"
"Sure. One o' the men that was over
in tbe Philipp"—
I strained my ears, but I could not
hear any more. The rookies bad pass
ed out of earshot. I hoped by the time
tbey made me walk the plank I would
be noar enough to France to swim
asJn«e. Then the laugh would be on
them. Tbe prospect didn't disturb me
much.
After irtiat seemed several years,
though as a matter of fact it was only
a few iniirutex. my husband came to
my room. He looked very solemn. I
ran to him. He took inc in bis arms
and held me tight for a long flme.
Then he began to pull off his coat.
"Tell me," 1 l>egged.
"I lose my stripes," be said. "I am
no longer Corporal Carter, but Private
Carter."
From the tone of his voice and the
light in his eyes I knew he did uot re
gret the stripes. Neither did I. Being
\rlth him all this time was worth It.
•"Private Carter." I said, "1 salute
•you, sir." And I did with a great big
fat kiss.
Then I sat down on the edge of the
berth and with my own hands ripped
the stripes from his sleeve.
CHAPTER V.
No France For Me.
THE rest of the trip was under
guard. I think it was the fifth
day we were under way they got
ime. I could hear the men singing and
.drilling. The routine of the army was
going on as if nothing had happened.
How I longed to bo back in my old
place among them as a doughboy 1 All
I had now were the clothes, just mem
ories of my soldiering. I had to stick
to them because there was nothing else
oa boacil for me to wear.
I did" not see my' husband Tor two
days. It was hard to know he was on
the ship, only a few feet away, and
yet I could not even speak to him. I
begged so hard to see him that they
Anally let. him up, and after that he
was allowed to come to me when he
was off duty.
He told me the men were getting
anxious to land. They had recovered
from their seasickness and wanted to
see what it was like "over there." All
were In the best of health. As their
appetites returned they complained
more and more about their rations,
which is to be exacted. At mess one
evening a homesick Sammy talked
about the deep dish huckleberry pie
his mother used to make. He almost
caused a riot.
"You'll be pickin' berries out of the
air soon. boy. lead ones," said a Sam
my. who had eaten his pie mostly off
of lunch counters all bis life.
For the most part those were dreary
days for me. as 1 saw my husband
only for a short time when he did get
up to my prison. Outside I could hear
all the noises of the troops—noises that
had sounded so sweet in my ears be
fore. There were the calls of the crap
players, the plaintive music of the
ukelele, no lonser soothing to me now,
and the harmonizing of the old, sad
tunes. Previously the accomplished
player of the "uke" had been the most
j popular man on board, and he was yet
for all I know, but not with me. I
would have liked to kill him when he
tuued up.
Much time was on my hands ror
thinking. I was proud of the respect
these soldiers of Uncle Sain had shown
me— n girl—when they had every op
portunity to take advantage of me with
me living among them as one of the
gang. I am speaking of those who
were aware of my presence on board.
They ought to make a One record In
Franco, both In and out of the trench
es. I was also proud I badn't been
seasick, although I had never been on
the ocean before. I had shown up
some of the rookies in this respect any
way, for they had been a seasick crowd.
Neither bad 1 had aify fear of sub
marines, even though I cannot swim a
stroke. This was more than some of
the recruits could say. Several of them
had been very open pored as tbey broke
Into sweats of pure fear with each
submarine alarm for drill purposes. I
felt, perhaps, I would fit better In the
trenches than they would.
About noon one day 1 heard a great
coin mot ion on board. Men were run
ning backward and forward, shouting
and calling to one another. Things
were being moved in a hurry. The
whole ship throbbed with new life. I
tried to discover the cause of the ex
citement by peeping through my single
porihole, but could see nothing. A
guard came lo my door and knocked.
"Land to starboard!" he shouted. He
was a nice fellow and couldn't hold
out such startling information from me.
There was a lump In my throat the
size of an apple. Would I ever set foot
in France? The officers had promised
tbey would do all they could to get the
authorities to let me stay. The army
officers were especially nice to me. I
believe they sincerely wanted to see
me win out after the chances X had
taken.
Some of them 1 know openly urged I
be permitted to land. It was the 6hlp'a
captain, technically In charge of me,
who killed all my prospects, as I found
out later.
It was on Saturday we came Into
port We were not sure of the rame of
the place, although we had a pretty
fair idea what It was.
Extra guards were stationed to
watch me. The quartermaster captain
was taking no chances on my sneaking
ashore. Once he passed my cabin.
• "Watch that porthole," ne oraereu.
"She's as slippery as an eel. We don't
want any more of this foolishness."
By and by the ship came to anchor.
I could hear the men tcolng ashore.
Was my husband with (hem? I did
not know. The thought that he might
be ordered off without so much as a
goodby drove me nearly crazy. I guess
I was quite mad for a time- I was no
longer a soldier facing fate with a
smile. I was a woman deprived of one
of the sacred rights of love.
After a long while the bustle on board
ceased. The boys were going. I could
hear the shouts of welcome on the
shore and the music of the brass bands.
Brass bands reminded me of homo and
the good old days at the camp in Doug
las. I started to rave again. I threw
myself on my berth. Some one picked
me up in a pair of strong arms and
stood me on the floor. I let out one
war whoop of happiness. It was the
"old man."
"I've £0t permission to stay on board
ilWe wHlPj-otftiiHi?' BtonS'y.Tddtn&,"
hb told me. "Ja the meantime the
boys are going to Ret busy and do their
dnrhdest to grab you a Job over here."
Then and there wo did a song and
dance. Monday. This was only Sat
urday. Anything could happed In that
time. Even peace might be declared.
"Maybe Bill Kaiser will call It off,
and we can go back home together,"
my husband consoled me. We went up
on deck. The transports were all
around us. Some of them had already
unloaded, while others were waiting to
pour their streams of Sammies out on
the shore of France. Crowds lined the
shores and plefy. Flags were flying
everywhere and people were in their
holiday clothes. All the children car
ried flowers, which they gave to the
Sammies. The welcome mat was
spread all over the place.
"They seem to be sort o' glad to sec
us," remarked the guard, who was nev
er far away. ."We're as welcome as
a pint bottle at a picnic for two."
All day Sunday and Monday wo wait
ed for news about my landing, but
none came. We had not seen the boys
since they went ashore. They had
gone Immediately to their quarters In
or beyond the town. My husband had
orders to report for duty Monday after
noon. As the time when he must go
drew near I grew panicky.
I want to say right here that on sev
eral occasions while we were in port I
could have ducked ashore. I did not
do It because I knew if I was caught
again some one else would get Into
trouble, and I could not stand for that
after they had been so kind to me.
At 4 o'clock he told me he had to go
and report. His face was white and
Jrawn, but he forced a smile and tried
to keep cheerful.
"Let ine see that you are a sure
snough soldier's sweetheart," he said.
'Buck up, kiddie. You're a game girL
Sou came all this war for me."
"Yes, and how t Cave to go one*
without you," I sobbed.
"Don't let a little thing like that dis
courage you, honey. Go home and
take a run down to Kentucky to see
mother. Tell her I am well and doing
all right. No boche bullet Is going to
get me. Then, if you still want to
come over. Join the Red Cross, I'll
work night and day to see you are sent
somewhere near us. Be good, kiddle.
Walt for me."
I don't know whether he Bald any
more or not I was crying so hard t
couldn't hear. I ran to the rail He
was going over the side. He did not
look back. Ho was a regular soldier.
I understood. I fell in a heap on the
deck. .After that I do not remember.

MANY BOOTS
T^EXT time your boots wear
out, buy a pair of'Hipress"
Boots and you'll find it will be a
long spell before you need an
other pair.
"Hipress" outwears any boot ever
made. There's a mighty good reason,
for "Hipress" isn't "built up" like
other boots. It's welded into one solid
piece without a seam—so there's no
place for it to leak—and it's actually
made of the same extra tough rubber
that goes into Goodrich tires. Also it's
the boot for solid comfort.
