CHAPTER I.
I Decide to Go to France.
r'S a long way fi>«rn Douglas, Ariz.,
to "some port l:i i'rauce," but 1
made the trip rigged up as a dough
boy, and I would go farther than tbat
to be near m.v husband However, the
"old man," as every commanding olfl
ccr is called lu the army, sent me back
on the same transport after I had spent
five days In port within sight of my
husband, but out of reach, and five
nights walking the tlo >r and without
sleep.
I am going back again and pay my
own way and get behind the lines and
take care of the boys I know so well
when I hoy are hi! The income from
these stories is going to help pay my
fure. and then I won t have to fool the
officers, as 1 did. witli the regulation
salute and "hcclj on the same line and
as near to each other as'the conforma
tion of a man permits, knees straight
without stiffness, body erect, from the
hips inclining slightly forward: shoul
ders squared and falling equally, arms
and hands hanging naturally, back o'
hands outward, little linger opposite
seam of trousers, head erect, chin
slightly drawn In without constraint,
eyes looking sti.light in front, catching
about fifteen pares forward. That is
the position of a soldier." • • • I
fooled them all right
1 think the authorities were mean
not to permit tne to laud in France.
As long as I was there, it seems to me,
they might have stretched a point and
allowed me to have had a look at the
war. Hut they were firm. They said
letting me by might set an example for
atber girls to follow and the first thing
they knew Uncle Sam would have a
troop of lady soldiers on his hands.
At that, I cannot see why 1 shouldn't
be a soldier -and a good one too. My
grandfather fought lu the civil war.
My father was a regular In the Seventh
cavalry. I am the wife of a soldier.
[ one of the bravest, best Sammies under
the Hag. He is over there now on the
Job. doing Ids bit to make the world
safe for democracy, as they say. And
I am over here praying he won't stop
a German whiz-bang while at it.
J .i Hi I IJ II IIL'U 1411. >uvu V- t,
"rookie" came to we I do not remem
ber. My husband. Joim J. Carter, was
u corporal in tlie Eighteenth irfantry,
encamped at Douglas. Ariz. lie belongs
to I\ company. There was a lot of talk
among the boys for a long tluie about
being ordered out. None of tbeiu knew
where the Eighteenth would be sent
They used to come to our house In
f'ritleville, rl^ht outside of Douglas,
when they were o(T duty and do a heap
of surmising and guessing. Some of
them thought they would be kept on
the border to see that things remained
quiet there and kid with the Mexicans.
Others had a hunch tlie.v would fol
low Pershing to France. The old tim
ers were pulling for the latter.
As I look back now I must have had
the germ of the idea In the back of my
bead even then, though I never voiced
It even to myself. You see. I was mar
ried only last December, and the
thought of my husband going away
and leaving me behind stirred my Im
agination. We went together for a
year and a halt' before we dug up the
parson. I wish X had that year and a
half wltb him now.
One day Corporal Carter came homo
from the supply depot, where he bad
been on guard duty. The minute I
saw his face 1 knew he had bis orders.
He was not excited, because be Is an
old timer at soldiering. He told ine he
was leaving the next day under secret
orders. There was not much warning.
The troops Just packed up and left
I did not tell him I was going, too,
because he knows I always go through
with anything 1 take a notion to do
and It might have worried him. But 1
had determined to make a try at It any
how. That evening and the next morn
ing. while he was busy attending to the
details of packing and getting off, I
was pretty busy myself. I knew where
there was a discarded khaki uniform,
regulation army, that would fit me. By
the uniform I mean the trousers, coat,
shirt and campaign hat.
Beady to March.
Getting the rest of my wardrobe was
easy. I bought shoes, boy's size, whlct
looked exactly Like the army shoes,
Canvas leggings and boy's underweai
completed the outfit I was ready and
eager to be on the march. I was twen
ty-two and full of health and boyish 1c
appenrance.
My husband said his farewell aboul
noon. He was pretty blue, because h<
thought It would be goodby for a long
time, perhaps for always. But he li
first, last and always a soldier, and b(
' did it as a soldier should. I suppose hi
wondered that I took II so calmly, bnt
of course lie thought lt_ was on the
level and didn't realise what I hail de
tided—had no hint of it. In fact.
No sooner wiis he out of sight than 1
began to do some very tall hustling. I
went to a lady lmrber and told her 1
wanted my hair cropped close to my
head, soldier style. 1 had an unusually
good head of hair, long, luxuriant and
black. The barber almost wept when
I insisted It had to go She cut It bo I
could part It on the side. The only
time during the operfttloil' 1 had a pang
of regret was when she began shaving
my neck. The razor made me realize I
was In for something mighty big. I
had a good laugh when I took my first
peek in the mirror ul myself as a boy.
1 wasn't bad The lady barber dfd not
laugh. The sight of such a sacrilege
seemed to make her sad. She told me
most folks wanted to grow hair—not
lose It.
After the hair cut It did not take me
very long to jump into my uniform. 1
have spent much of my life on a ranch,
where I wore riding breeches or bib
overalls, so (he clothes were familiar
to me and did not feel strange. I was
right at home In them. 1 never was
happier In uiy life than when I took
stock of my makeup, a sure enough'sol
dier and said to myself—very posi
tively:
"I'm going with John and the troop."
I left the house just as It was. It
seemed a small matter to me at a time
like this Reluctantly. 1 had promised
my husband I would go to his family
In Kentucky and remain there until his
return. Instead of this, I found myself
In an automobile speeding for Douglas,
where the troops were even then en
training With me was "Tutfy," my
bulldog. Thnt was the only hurt, leav
ing Tuffy. I would hnve tried to get
her enlisted In K company as a mascot,
only they do not allow dogs.
Everything was confusion around the
station. Soldiers and civilians were
hurrying here and there. Girls were
bidding their sweethearts clinging
goedbys. Mothers aud fathers, sisters
and brothers, friends—every one was
there to give godspeed. The soldiers
I themselves seemed to be In the best of
spirits. They laughed and Joked and
aclod like men who were going away
on n big holiday, although there was a
strain of seriousness through it all that
made a lump rise in your throat every
now and then.
I did not linger long outside the train
for fear I might be recognized, though
it was difficult to single out any strange
soldier, because there were so many
, raw rookies who had Just enlisted and
had not had time to get acquainted
much. I figured that the cook ear
would be the safest place, because
there 1 could*be busy doing something,
and it would be easier for me to get by
unnotlcod. So wheu the cooks came
along I fell In with them and went into
the car. They thought I wus a new
one and never paid any attention to
me. Of course, my long connection
with the amy helped me, since I knew
the regulations and customs better than
most of the rookies.
Dog Almost Betrays Her.
Tuffy almost spilled the beans for
me. She had given the chauffeur who
was to ta!;e fare of her while I was
gone the slip and gone out on a still
hunt for mo. You can fool a man, but
you cannot fool a dog. The minute she
spied me she came on the run, with a
yelp nnd leap. Quite a lot of the older
men knew my dog. nnd I thought ev
ery minute they would notice her vio
lent attentions. 1" tried to Chase her
away. She seemed to regard this as an
invitation and barked happily. 1 grew
cross and pushed her aside, ordering
her home. She stood and looked at me
in a surprised w;ay. I could not seem
too familiar with her arid play my part.
I had to treat her as a strange dog. As
1 was boarding the train she came
after me with a bound. I pushed her
away from the steps and walked up.
Poor Tuffy, she wanted to be a soldier
the worst way. I hated to leave her.
She was the ouly one to say goodby1 to
me, and I had to treat her as a stran
ger.
There were some nervous moments
before that train pulled out. I kept In
the background as much as 1 could.
After what seemed to me years there
came a tense momeut and a chorus of
"goodby, good lack, God bless you,"
The cars began to move. We were on
our way to Join Pershing.
"Look out there, rookie, or the first
thing you know you'll lie fixing a mesa
of pig's knuckles and sauerkraut for
some Germans."
One of the old boys from the camp, a
man In my husband's company, whom
I kuew, was speaking. It was the first
time I had been directly addressed. I
bad to do sonwetblng it was now or
never.
"Aw, quit your klddln'l" I answered
boldly. "No Kritz can get me a pris
oner."
The soldier passed on. I bad changed
my voice and talked slow, it sounded
good. My tii'ot danger wad over. I
bad fooled a man who knew me.
Sleeping quarters had been assigned
to the men. i did not know exactly
what 1 was going to do. because 1 was
an extra and nothing bad been pro
vided for me. I might have to sit up
all nigbt, bidden away. But soon 1
saw the lines were not so strictly
drawn, (n the confusion of getting
settled 1 grabbed a place and acted as
If It belonged to nobody but me. I was
In a compartment. Two other soldiers
were there with me.
We were well Into New Mexico be
fore I ventured forward Into the troop
cars. The men were having a great
time, singing and talking and calling
back and forth. You would never have
guessed they had said good by to those
they loved only a few hours before. If
there was any one among them Inclined
to weaken at their prospects be was
too mucb of a man to show it. In one
car where there was a number of good
voices they were harmonizing on the
barber shop chord. Some one struck a
blue note. There was almost as much
commotion as if it had been a dumdum
bullet. Soldiers always sing.
The men had eaten a hearty dinner.
They were tired from the bustle and
heart wrench of getting off. They be
gan to drop off early. Once their heads
bit the pillows tbey were dead to the
world. You would think tbey bad noth
ing more on their minds than a pleas
ant few weeks' outing, so peacefully
they slept
I began to feel like turning In myself.
The prospect of bunking in a stateroom
Hazel Carter.
with two struuKe troopers did not
frighten me. I was one of them. It
was eusy to avoid detection. We slept
with all our clothes on but our hats
and shoes.
In New Mexico, well out of Arizona,
It was I flrst walked forward and
passed my husband. I never gave him
a glance, but he recognized me. I can't
remember exactly what he said, but it
was something like "My God, what are
you doing here?" lie was not as much
surprised as 1 thought he would be
He did not scold me. lie was not eveu
angry.
"Now Lliat you are on the train 1 sup
pose you might us well go as far as
Chicago," he added. "But you will be
a good girl and go straight home from
there, won't you?"
1 told him I would think it over,
but I could not promise. I was doing
this on my own responsibility, and It
was not up to him to interfere. He
was quartered three cars ahead of rae.
I used to sneak forward at night and
try to reason with him about my going
to France to Join the Red Cross.
I was still with the cooks. Whenever
I heard any one coming I'd grab a
dlshpan or something and get very
busy. If an officer gave me a suspicious
glance I looked him square in the eye
and stood at attention like the rest of
the doughboys. Army officers are easy
to fool
Sometimes we laid up as long as
twenty-four hours In a town. When
ever we stopped the soldiers had to get
out and exercise. It was this standing
order that gave me my first close calL
We had been put on a siding In some
town, and the troops were off stretch
ing their legs. I was sitting In a seat
talking with a young sergeant when an
officer came through.
"What are you two fellows doing
here?" he blustered. "Why aren't you
out at exercise?" I don't mean he was
gruff. The United States army offi
cers treat their men white.
We were on our feet and out of the
car In a minute. I turned around and
came right back. The "O. 0." did not
return. He probably thought we were
a couple of lazy rookies. There were
so many young men among the recruits
—mere boys some of tliem. They had
to obtain the consent of their parents
before they' could enlist I passed for
one of these tioy soldiers.
