THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF A SOLDIER WHILE ON ACTIVE SERVICE

1. When on guard thou wilt challenge all parties approaching thee.

2. Thou shalt not send any engraving nor any likeness of any
air-ship in Heaven above or on any postcard of the Earth beneath,
nor any drawing of any submarine under the sea, for I, the Censor,

3. Thou shalt not use profane language unless under extraordinary

5. Honor your President and your Country, keep your rifle oiled

6. Thou shalt not steal thy comrade's kit.

7. Thou shalt not kill--TIME.

8. Thou shalt not adulterate thy mess tin by using it as a shaving

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy comrades but
preserve a strict neutrality on his outgoings and his incomings.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy sergeant's post, nor the corporal's
nor the staff major's, but do thy duty and by dint of perseverance
rise to the high position of major general.

Candies, cigarettes--and ordinary, plain cigarettes are good enough, so
long as you send plenty. If he chews, send him chewing. Cigarettes are an

when under heavy shell fire. Powdered milk in small quantities, or
Horlick's Milk Tablets, are always welcome. Pure jam; don't ever make a
mistake in this and send plum and apple, because if he ever gets back
alive, he will surely take your life for making such a terrible
mistake--different fruit preserves they long for. Never send corned beef.
This would be even
