AMBULANCE COMPANY
ENJOYSHIKE
Ambulance Company Number Four is
still in the lead in the baseball league,
having won every game that they have
played.
Last Saturday afternoon Sergeant, First
Class, McFinnis took the team of Number
Two to town and overwhelmingly defeated
Truck Company Number Two, to the
score of 14-2. The pitching of Feeney,
• Ambulance Company Number Two, was
the feature of the game.
The past week has been chiefly devoted
to “problem hikes,” arranged and laid out
by Major Hartung.
The night previous to the hike, the
company commander was given the order.
It contained the plan of attack of the
enemy and our own combat line, also the
general directions and the names of the
roads to be followed. After reaching the
destination a suitable site was designated
for a dressing station. This was supp
posed to be protected from rifle fire. The
building selected should contain ample
•Space for *patients, there should also be a
water supply and parking place for
ambulances and animals.
TRENCH AND CAMr
The problems worked out veny well and
were enjoyed by the men. Outside of a
few sore feet and muscles the men went
through the hikes in good shap.
elt has been wondered where Number
Three received their previous military
training as they lockstep perfectly.
Sergeant Helm of Number Four has the
fishing record of the camp, having
brought to camp a 26-inch bass. Some
catch!
The double quartet of Number Four is
being kept busy at various musicals and
services. Their talent is much appreci
ated.
The practice game between the subs
and regulars of No. 1 was some game. It
ended 4 to 4.
Sergeant, First Class, McDonald has
gone to Pittsburgh, his son having in
fantile paralysis. He was granted a ten
days’ furlough.
CONVERTED BARBER
COMING TO CAMP
Mel Trotter, Noted Mission Worker, Will
Address Men at V. M. C. A.
Mel Trotter and a male quartet are to
visit Camp Hancock tomorrow (Thurs
day) and remain during one week. Mr.
Trotter was not educated for the min
istry. For a large part of his life he was
a barber in the Grand Rapids Y. M. C. A.
Building. After his conversion he or
ganized a mission in the poorer section
of the city, the fame of which has be
come country-wide. For a number of
years he has traveled from place to plac
holding evangelistic services and strength
ening city missions. He has also held
meetings at Northfield, Winona and other
places in the summer. Mr. Trotter pub
lished the story of his mission in a book
entitled “Jimmy Moore of Bucktown.”
With Mr. Trotter is a splendid male
quartet which will furnish some music
and also lead the men in the singing
The schedule for Mr. Trotter and his
quartet is as follows:
Thursday. Oct. l&th —Building No. 76
Logan’s Brigade.
Friday, Oct. 19th —Building No. 79, west
of the Fourth Infantry.
Saturday, Oct. 20th—Building No. 70, or:
Artillery avenue.
Monday, Oct. 22nd—Building No. 78,
near the Cavalry.
Wednesday, Oct. 24th—Building No. 77,
east of the Engineers.
A special mass meeting will be held in
the big Red Triangle Tent, near the post
office, Sunday evening next. Everybody
turn out. The sir gmg will begin at
7:45.
CHALLENGES DIVISION
Practically the last command to reach
its full strength at camp, the Camp Quar
termaster’s men pride themselves on the
rapidity with which they have become
acclimated. And everything has been done
to make them so. Captain French cer
tainly has looked after the comforts of
his boys, and boxing outfits, basketbal’
courts, etc, are merely forerunners of
what is in store. In fact "Officer’s Row,”
from Captain Humber down, seems as
anxious as the men to get going together.
Football will of course be the biggest
diversion in the near future, with Lieu
tenant Crolly, Q. M. C. N. A., former C
U. star as coach. The writer is au
thorized to issue the following deft to
the Camp as a whole and each organi
zation therein, "the self-assumed title of
champions” will be vigorously defended,
That’s an open invitation, gentlemen,
come on.
On the other hand, baseball is still at
large and cutting quite a figure. It would
hardly be extravagant to say that the
bunch who copped the gonfalon on the
border will repeat (I mean the Quarter
master Boys) and they are practicing
hard to keep up their record of two
straight pennants. In due time chal
lenges will issue and the camp in invited
to see the scrap.

EQUITATION
"Where is So-and-So?” we inquired at
cavalry headquarters recently.
“He’s having equitation,” was the
courteous but mystifying reply.
There was no dictionary about, so we
had to confess ignorance and then learn
ed that quitation was nothing more than
riding a horse, or the art of learning to
preserve one’s equilibrium while riding.
Many men in the cavalry have had dif
ficulty equiating the past few days, par
ticularly since saddles are not used.
More than one has been introduced to
Mother Earth unceremoniously and some
mishaps have occurred—but it’s all in the
game of learning to equitate.
WHY WE ARj ATWAR
Through the League for National
Unity, an extensive campaign for edu
cating the public on the war will be in
augurated. The league represents church,
political, labor, agricultural and indus
trial organizations and has the endorse
ment of President Wilson. Cardinal Gib
bons and Dr. Frank Mason North, presi
dent of the Federal Council of Churches,
are at the head of the league, and Sam
uel Gompers is vice-chairman.- In its
declaration of principles, the league
says:
"The war we are waging is a war
against war and its sacrifices must not
be nullified by any armistice or truce
that means no more than a breathing
spell for the enemy.
"We approve the action of the gov
ernment in despatching an expeditionary
force to the land of Lafayette and Roch
ambeau. Either we fight the enemy on
foreign soil, shoulder to shoulder with
comrades in arms, or we fight on our own
soil, backs against our homes and alone ”
