Brethren of the Army. The cruel practical joker got in his work the other night against the poor, defenseless army, and there is trouble in the United Service Club Just at present in consequence; troublesome kind of trouble, but just a sort of humorous kind that is causing lots of laugh and plenty of chagrin on the part of the army members. There has always been a good- natured rivalry between the two sections of the service men, each trying to get a joke on the other, and the opportunity of the naval con- tingent came on New Year eve.
