Bui when both were sent to the army air forces technical school at Kee* ler F.eid. Miss . their troubles real ly be gar. And when both were as signed to duty as MPs on the tame day, July 1. assigned to the same squadron and quartered in the same barracks, they found themselves in an inextricable state of confusion. The army serial numbers present only a partial solution to the prob lems which increased and grew since the.r arrival here. Private Joyce of Brooklyn has 32322910. while McKeesport Private Joyce's number is 33070887. Besides.* there are 21 other Joyces at Keesler Field Sergt Robert Kerns, chief clerk of the post security section, has dubbed the Brooklyn Private Joyce. •'Juruor ” However, this doesn't solve the situation, it just helps a little In getting pay. laundry, mail, pqsses. furloughs, assignments and the 101 things in which a name is ! used, their perplexity continues. They have taken steps to clear up the mail confusion by receiving it together and opening all "border line" letters in conjunction.

That is why it was one of tee most expensive wars Uncle Sam ever waged, and by no stretch of the imagination can it to said that he won it. It was not until the Medi cine Lodge treaty was signed the fol lowing October that peace returned to the Plains. One little-known fact in connec tion with this little-known war is that it almost resulted fatally for the military reputation of one of its leaders. For Custer, driven almost frantic by the frustration of his ef forts to win a victory over tee In dians, was led into a series of rash acts that ended in a court-martial and his suspension from rank and command for a year. However, his victory at the battle of the Washita in 1868 restored him to favor of the authorities and started him on his successful career as an Indian ; fighter. 4*. i ~ r t <ri fti f o n +— %. m» * ASK ME 9 \ another: . v *-<•*•*-•*-*•*.*» ~—£.{ m&rn <+m <*■ The Qmeahmm 1.
