Newport News, Va., April 3.—
(Special to Banner.)—Wearing on
his breast the coveted Croix de
Guerre and on his face a constant
smile. Lieutenant John H. Bocock, of
Athens, Ga.. commander of the world-
famous Amherst Ambulance Unit,
which arrived yesterday on the U. S.
S. President Grant, strolled about tne
barracks in Camp Stuart this even
ing and recounted with his men tales
■of the great experience, 'wben be

counting the hours until he will leave

oceap,
k Strange sights, and bsve been in ter-
\rlble situations; but that has not cal'
oused our affection for home.”
t Lieutenant Bocock, who is a gradu
ate of the University-of-Georgia -and
tbi University of Virginia, enlisted
in May, 1817. shortly after he heard
the news of America's decision. His
fate was cast with the University of
Virginia ambulance unit. Tuey mobl
lized at the University, later moving
out to Allentown, Penn. There they
were trained for war. They were
•ent to France, arriving there a few
months later. In no time they were
in action.
At that time John Bocock, the
Georgian, was a first sergeant In tbe
unit. He was not destined to remain
a non-commissioned olflcer. One
night he was called upon to perform
a dangerous task; he did. His com'
rades and officers called It "gallant
ry in action" and he was promoted.
He was also decorated. It all came
so quickly, and in the stress of such
excitement that the-significance was
hardly realized. Soon he was placed
In command of the Amherst College
ambulance outfit, and with this unit
he.remained until the close of tue
war.
Lieutenant Bocock commands a
valorous aggregation. In the unit
'there are thirty-six men. Twenty-
two of them'are wearing decorations:
twentjr-tw.o of thorn were not brave
only, out they were "conspicuously
brave.” Brave to the point of willing
self-sacrifice, with little hope of final
safety. Practically ail are Amherst
College men. The crosses they wear
and the various decorations they
proudly show sewed on the unit’s ilag
are mute evidences of their valor.
The French called this ambulance
unit the "Chatnolr.” which means tbe
“Black cats." This Insignia they
wear on their shoulders. Tbe sec
tion, as a whole, has been twice cited
in French army orders.
Though' there were no serious *cas-
ualties in the uniL tbe unit partici
pated in four minor offensives and
three major offensives. They helped
In the drive nt tbe Marne, in July,
1918, st the Aisne in September 1917,
and later in Belgium.
Tbe presence of this unit in -be
camps bere has aroused great inter
est despite the,fact that this harbor
Is congested with returning heroes
day after day. The fact that they
are university and college men, from
the best, families of the north ana
south, and that they fought so well
makes the city proud to welcome and
entertain them.
This unit commanded by Lieuten
ant Bocock came into the harbor yes
terday with nine other ambulance
units, each representing a college or
university. Lieutenant Bocock's old
outfit, that of tbe University of Vir
ginia, was in tbe number.

Lovers of the great American game
will have their first taste of real base
ball this afternoon. Auburn plays
Georgia at Sanford Field!
The two games with Oglethorpe,
the only games that have been played
in Athens this year, did not show- up
the real merit of the present Red and
Black team, but when Auburn ap.
pears on the battle front this after
noon, a real battle will ensue.
Georgia and Auburn have already
played two games this season, both
of which were real sure enough
games. The first went for a nothing
to nothing score and went for eleven
innings. The second was a two tp
nothing game until the last inning,
in that frame Georgia "broke loose’
and four runs were scored, making
the total six. Not an Auburn man
reached third base in either of these
two games. Speaks rather well of
the Georgia team, I should Bay.
But will I be aide to say that not
an Auburn man reached third after
today’s game? I doubt It seriously,
for Auburn hss a good team and one
that is sure to be heard from before
the season is much older. In John
ston they have one of the best col.
lege twirlers that the South has ever
seen. He is a veritable Iron man.
necessary he will pitch both games
against Georgia, today and agalfi to.
morrow.
Philpot, our own little man with the
big arm, will likely work against
Johnston today. Mangum will do the
receiving and the entire Georgia team
will do the bat work. Be there and
have your eye as well as your hopes
on the Red and Black.

Warden W. T. Long, of the county
convict camp, has resigned and there
by hangs a tale of excitement and
interest.
it is alleged that Long had been
too lenient in the conduct of his du
ties as warden and prisoners were
allowed to do almost hs they pleased,
In fact his actions reused the coun
ty commissioners to warn him and
repremand him with:the hopes that
he would improve ilk his official ca
pacity, but It is safd that he did not
lake to receiving orders and that at
the camp at the farm things were
loosely managed and one convict by
the name of Timemon. was allowed
to go at will and do at he pleased,
garage was opened at the farm near
the roadside where work was done
for the public and the convicts a!
lowed to carry on the business. Time-
mon is said to be from a prominent
family In South Georgia, but some
time since he disappeared from that
section of the state with the payroll
of his employers and an automobile
and from there he made bis way
through this section into Tennessee,
where he was finally caught, returned
to the South Georgia town, tried and
convicted on the charge and sent
enced to serve - a term of five years
in tbe gang. His lot fell to Clarke
county and since has has been in the
county gsng, it Is alleged that bo
grew in the favor of Warden Long
and many favors hare been shown
hint.
The county commissioners notified
Warden Long that he must Improve
or else he would be reported to the
prison commission and hie resigna
tion demanded. This did not improve
conditions and when he was suspend
ed a few days since, he declined to
turn over the keys to Guard Evans
who had beeif appointed temporarily,
until yesterday and then, it is said
Long was found to be in an intoxicat
ed condition. The commissioners
caused warrents to be taken out for
Long, but when County Bailiffs Saye
and Wood went for him he ,jtad left
the farm, but in company with a wo
man he was found some distance
away from the farm and the officers
state that Long was in an intoxicated

which was received through the

it seems much of the trouble has
arisen over. The letter follows:

The Athens Banner,
Athens, Ga.
Gentlemen:
Please allow me space In your va!
uable paper to explain to the public
at large why I have acted as 1 have
and ask for their forgiveness in this
matter and for the Svrong I have done
in their estimation. I have always
tried, to do Jhe best oi my ability in
everything since I have been a pris
oner in this county.
Capt. Long was a father to every
one of us prisoners in his custody
durihg his administration as warden
So it has been through his kindness
to me that some of the other officials
have been and are my enemies, and
It will be impossible for me to re
main here the balance of my sent
ence. I arn leaving a good home be
hind and some good friends, but I am
leaving with the expectation of being
a man no matter where I go, and
with the hope that every citizen will
sympathize with me and not sedrn
me for my actions. I am leaving the
best friend I ever bad and the county
is losing the bes( man in the world
when they lost CapL Long.
He haz been loyal to both tbe coun
ty and all his men during his admin
istration in this county.
With hopes of everybody’s forgive
ness. I am always Just plain "Char
lie.” •
