Stationed at the Mont Sec observation post, near St. Mihiel, a French soldier was showing the scenery to a doughboy.
"I have been in this section ever since the beginning of the war," he said. "Back there is Commercy, where my home is."
"I suppose you get home once in a while?" said the doughboy.
"Nearly every week," was the response.
"Hell," said the doughboy, thinking of his own home in South Bend, Ind. Then, calling to a comrade, he added: "Hey, buddie; here's a guy what commutes to the war!"
FIRST COMMUTER—"Do you have to take such an early train as this?"
SECOND COMMUTER—"No. But I find the earlier the train the less everybody cares to talk."
