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.” 1899, Unadllla, Ga.; enlisted Novi 16, 1916; aboard'“Utah.” Walter Melton, A.

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.

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.
