Here's the Champeen!

The Stars and Stripes, published in France, recently carried an article about Ensign Fred Anderson making 8,000 hot cakes for the soldiers in seventeen hours. And Clarence D. Brooks, of the Aid Service, claims that he is entitled to a hearing before any medals are handed out. Brooks claims that he is mess sergeant la one of the largest camps. But we'll let Clarence tell his own story: ' "The kitchen range was 928 feet wide and 1.358 feet long. It took eighteen firemen to keep it hot; we bad 619 cooks and 700 K. P.'s. We mashed potatoes with a pile driver and ground coffee with a 850 H. P. Liberty motor. They hauled out dirty pans on railroad cars and the K. P.'e went on roller skates. As I was mess sergeant I rode up and down the kitchen on a motor cycle shouting orders through a megaphone. "Now for the flap Jacks: We mixed with twelve concrete mixers and had a steam shovel moving egg shells away from the door, and six K. P.'s with bacon rinds strapped on their feet skating over the griddle to keep it greased. When I tell you that on three occasions I was forced to fry the cakes myself you will agree with me In thinking I would have some Bhow In a contest with Mr. Anderson. "I am willing to take on anyone in the Allied Forces under any conditions they wish to name, blindfolded, handcuffed, one eye closed, one foot on the floor, turn 'em with a shovel, a toothpick well, any old way they care to do It "Pardon this letter, as I am not a writer but a pancake fryer and what It takes to make 'em I've got "CLARENCE D. BROOKS, "Air Service.'
