Uncle Sam Will Have
19,000 New Officers
Under plans completed by the war
department for disposition of the grad
uates of the second series of officers’
training camps which close this month,
every man of the 1,000 who is recom
mended for a commission either will be
commissioned at once or placed on an
eligible list subject to call.
Not all of the men commissioned
when the camps close will be called to
service immediately. Tn fact it yas
pointed out that many of them, par
ticularly the lieutenants, might not be
called to active service until the sec
ond 500,000 men of the national army
are organized.
Officers in charge of the camps are
selecting 1,000 men between 21 and 27
years of age for commissions as pro
visional second lieutenants in the regu
lar army. They will be attached to
regular regiments for additional train
ing and will be given provisional com
missions as vacancies occur, the com
missions to be confirmed if they make
good in active service. After selecting
the 1.000 men, the men remaining will
be considered so rthe signal corps and
ordnance bureaus.
Virtually all of the majors and many
of the captains of the line commission
ed when the camps close will be needed
immediately. There are indications of
a shortage of reserves in this grade,
which may make it necessary to re
open the army to civilians generally if
officers casualties prove as heavy as is
to be expected.
AMBULANCE TEAM
WANTS FOOTBALL GAMES
The ambulance train is being kept busy,
with their new auto ambulances. Record
runs are being made on emergency calls
to all parts of the divisions. This is get
ting down to real work and is much, more
enjoyed by the men than the usual song
of the non-coms, namely, -‘‘HeP: Hep,
Hep.”
Hallowe'en was fittingly' celebrated by
111 and 112. The vaudeville given by the
men of 111 was very good, but not as
good as the wind-up which consisted of
pumpkin pie, cider, apples and nuts.
No. 112 had their hall decorated by
hanging fine boughes, intermingled with
oak boughs tied with the regular Hal
lowe'en colors. Maj. and Mrs. Harting and
Chaplain and Mrs. Keith were the guests
of honor. Each responded to a request
for a short talk and were received most
heartily.
The football team of No. 112 is having
difficulty in getting first-class opponents.
They are defeating Hancock teams by
large margins. Two games already play
ed against Co. M, 16th Regiment and Bat
tery D, 2d Artillery, have resulted in vic
tries by the scores of 52 to 0 and 57 to 0.
Camp Gordon will be played later in the
season.
No. ill also has a good team. They
would like to look some games. Notify

I LOVE THEE, COLUMBIA
(New National Anthem)
(Dedicated to the People of the U, S.)
I love thee, Columbia, fair land of the
west,
By nature with lavish hand bounteously
blest;
Thy streams sparkling silver, thy plains
waving gold,
Thy lakes Heaven's mirrors, thy peaks
towering bold;
Where the palm’s sunny leaves greet the
evergreen pine.
And the fruits of the west and the east
intertwine.
O refuge from oppression,
Thou home of liberty;
Whose starry banner shelters
Freemen, forever free!
I love thee, Columbia, for patriots died
To wrest thee from tyrants that justice
denied.
Thy sons bled to save, from disruption
and shame.
Thy banner .of stars and thy glory and
fame,
That, still, from thy shores there may ;
ring o’er the sea i
The watchword of freedom, the song of
the free- *
Chorus, j
I love thee, Columbia. Tn progress and
toil.
In love for thee rival the sons of thy soil;
From the Lakes to the Gulf, from At
lantic’s wild roar
To . majestje Pacific's gold-glistening
shore—-
Were a foe thee to threaten, thy name
to despise,
Thy sons in invincible ranks would arise.
1 love thee, Columbia, and, true e’er to '
thee,
I’ll strive for thy glory, O land of the
free.
May “Justice to all,” be thy motto so’
brave,
“Where none shall be master, and none
shall be slave”—
A Nation united, as one we will stand;
Our hearts pledged to thee, our dear na
tive land.
Chorus.
My own, loved country, O set thou the
goal!
Throughout all the world spread the reign '
of thy soul!
O guide thou the nations, and bear thou I
the light
To mankind still suffering in bondage and
night—
That freedom and peace, with the blessing
divine,
Prevail o’er the earth and the glory be ;
thine!
Chorus.

Hotels Wheatless
and Meatiest
“Meatless Tuesdays” and “wheatless
Wednesdays” will be the program at
the cases and lunchrooms in Augusta
from this time forward. Fifty restau

Wednesday bills of fare. In place of
beef, game, chicken, etc., fish and oys
ters will be offered patrons, for “light
bread” and biscut will be substituted
rye bre adand cornbread and for pies,
puddings.
The agreement is the result of a
campaign by Mr. S. J. Newcomb, pro
prietor of the Albion Hotel, who has
been appointed chairman of the Tenth
Georgia Congressional District of the

Sad Death of
Lieut. W arren’s Boy
While Edward, the 3-year-old son oi
Lieut, and Mrs. R. M. Warren, of Phil
adelphia, was amusing himself in the
store of L. Sylvester & Sons, Augusta,
the little lad entered the elevator and
turned the lever, sending the carriage
up. When the third floor was reach
ed, the lad attempted to get out and
was caught between the floor and the
elevator, his head being crushed. i
Lieut, and Mrs. Warren were in the
rear of the store, making -a purchase
at the time and were horrified when
they learned of the terrible accident.
Had the child remained in the car, it
would have automatically stopped. The
body was taken to Philadelphia for
burial. Lieut. Warren was an officer
of Compony C, 109th Infantry, and Mrs.
Warren and son had been boarding on
the Hill. The sympathy of the Au
gusta. people as well as all the soldiers
in Camp Hancock is extended to the
bereaved parents. (

112th carried cooked rations with them
on the march. At the end of the
march, not more than twelve men were
unfit and General Logan was delighted
with the physical showing.
Only twelve men out of about 7,000
in the hike of the Fifty-sixth Brigade
were obliged to drop out. Speaks well
for the physical condition of the men.
