Many Vienna people have been
praying for the allies and victory for
a long time, and now each day at 7
o’clock in the morning a bell Is tolled
calling the people to prayer and pray
ing people are halting at this hour to
lift their hearts in a united appeal for
thea uccess of the great cause which
is coming to be so close to the hearts
of the people. There is no need to
urge the folks who pray to join in this
supplication at this hour for these
need no urging, the sound of the bell
'Is suffiicent.
NEGROES AS SOLDIERS
Dooly county has sent’ lots of ne
groes to the military camps. Many pf
these have already been sent overseas
for service, and are even now taking
part in thegreat struggle that is in
progress. Practically all classes of
the negro are represented in the num
ber that Dooly has furnished, many
of them ate negroes of good charac
ter drho have many friends among the
white people here as well as among
the people of their own race. These
friends are interested in their welfare
and miltary deportment and are re
lying on them to play a commendable
part in the contest for world liberty.
That thee olored troops are acquitting
themselves creditably is confirmed
by a statement from Gen. Pershing.
Dooly may not be represented in this
in th(p particular group of soldiers re
ferred to but it is a safe guess that
many of those who have gone from
here will serve with as much distinc
tion as these. Gen. Pershing's com
ment is this;
“The exploits of two colored in
fantrymen some weeks ago in repellt
ing a much larger German patrol,
killing and wounding several Germans
and winning Croix de Guerre by their
gallantry, haa aroused a fine spirit of
emulation throughout the colored
troops, all of whom are looking for-
- ward to more active service. Only re
gret expressed by colored troops is
that they are not given more danger-
• oua work to-do. They are especially
amused at the most dangerous posi
tions and all are desirous of having
more active service than has been per
mitted them thus far. I can not com
mend too highly the spirit shown
among the colored ' combat troops,
’ who exhibit fine capacity for quick
training and eageroesa for the most
dangerous work.”

KING BASE BM1YIELDS
TOVOLLEYBALLIN CAMP
Popularity Of Volley Ball Among Sot
- dlers Surprlsee All Old Base
ball Fans. .
What are the favorite games with
the soldiers in training camps in the
southeastern division? The Immediate
response would naturally be baseball.
However, this Is not correct according
to the latest statistical report com
piled by R. C. Cubbon, Army Y. M. C.
A. physical director for the southeast
ern division, aided by the the 126 phys
ical directors In the camps. Their fig
ures of the number of games played
and the number of men participating
ahow that volley ball is the most pop
ular of all sports.
There was a time when baseball was
the most popular sport in the camps,
and in the month of March It was
throe times as popular as any other
game, but in the following month the
newly Introduced game of volley ball
was taken by the soldiers with the
greatest of enthusiasm and the Teport
of the physical directors In the camps
of the southeastern department show
that, commencing with the month of
April, volley ball has easily held first
place as the moat popular sport with
the soldiers.
This Is very easily understood when
It Is explained that volley ball can be
played In a very small space about
the size of a tennis court The sol
diers with little practice can become
quite oxpert In the game. Another fea
ture is that all of the players on both
sides are playing the entire time, (no
bench warming) and the games do not
last nearly so long as baseball. In fact
not much longer than the average
baseball inning. The only equipment
needed for this game Is one ball and'
one net I
Playground baseball is Another game I
that la maldng a great hit with the
soldiers and now ranks fourth In pop
ularity. This game also can be play
ed In a small space, the distances be
tween bases being only thirty feet;
In this game a large, soft boll la used
and the pitcher is required to use the 1
underhand throw. All the skill of the
parent game of baseball la required
for playground ball and the playing
has all the thrills and tense moments
that is to be had in the national past
time.
As an entertainer boxing Is very
much In the limelight In the camps
and like baseball has an Immense fol
lowing of devotees. Providing games
of entertainment Is of no small import
ance in the camps as It Is shown in the
physical director's report that 906,375
spectators were In attendance at 143,-
