CAMP COMMUNION
FOR

LUTHER A NCHURCHOP F. N S
SOLDIERS’ SOCIAL ROOMS.
To care for the spiritual welfare of
the 9,000 Lutheran soldiers at Camp
Hancock, the Lutheran churches of
Augusta have opened “Soldiers’ Social
Rooms” in the Herald building, second
fldor front, opposite the Broad street
monument. Soldiers are invited to
visit these rooms Wednesdays and
Sundays and enjoy the hospitality of St.
Matthew’s and Holy Trinity Lutheran
churches. Rev. Paul L. Yount, Luth
eran camp pastor, has his office in
these rooms and will be glad to meet
the. soldiers.
GENERAL’S INSTGNIA
IN YOUR KNAPSACK
General Pershing has just issued plans
whereby provision is made for promo
tion from the ranks of enlisted men who
have proved their worth. Napoleon said:
“Every French soldier carries in his
knapsack, a marshal’s baton.” So it is
possible that the stars and insignia of
a general is hidden in the pack of any
American soldier. Advancement from
grade to grade after a man has won his
commission is also made easier by this
order. A new departure in the Amer
ican army is the system of temporary
appointments and promotions after the
selective plan in force in the British
army. Recommendations for appoint
ments and promotions will be based sole
ly on demonstrated fitness and capacity
of the man. A second lieutenant may
be appointed temporarily as first lieuten
ant or even captain, and if he proves
worthy of the new position, he will re
tain it.
BRITISH AIR SERVICE
HAS FAVORITE BALLAD
London. —Though Kipling has stopped
writing “Barrack Boom Ballads,’’ the bal
lads themselves have not stopped. Here
is one of the favorites of the British air
service. Note the fine chance for “close i
harmony.”
“A handsome young airman lay dying
(Chorus: Lay dying).
“And as on the er’drom he lay (he
lay),
“To the mechanics who round him came
sighing (came sighin)
“These last dying words he did say (he
did say):
“ ‘Take the cylinder rod out of my kid
neys (of his kidneys).
“ ‘The connecting rod out of my brain
(of his brain).
“ ‘The can box from under my back- j
bone (his backbone),
“ ‘And assemble the engine again
(again)' "
Try it over on the piano to the tune of
‘The Dying Lancer.”

UNDERWEAR. ’
Here is the latest parody on “Over
There," written by a Yaphank boy:
I ’nderwear, underwear,
Itching here, itching there, everywhere,
On a. frosty morning
It may be warming,
But when the sun begins to shine,
That underwear under there
Begins to scratch and to rub and to
tear.
Now, will you tell me, will you please
tell me.
How to stand at ’tention,
Itching under there?

TRENCH AND CAMP
• MISSING
I can’t get up a pool game
At Riley’s old shebang.
There is no crowd to play with
They all have gone away With
The nation’s fighting gang.
For Tom is in the Army,
While out upon the sea,
Brave Dick is in the Navy
A-sailing where it’s wavy,
And Harry’s in the infantree!
The club is plumb deserted;
It’s mighty gloomy there.
There’s no one ’round to lunch with
Or have a glass of punch with —
The place is sort of bare;
For Bill is with the gunners,
Upon a foreign shore,
And Jim’s an ambulancer,
Who’s at the front in France, sir,
And Walter’s in the Flying Corps.
I’m greatly over draft age,
With wife and children, too,
But if my friends keep going
There isn’t any knowing
Exactly what I’ll ’do.
For all my quondam comrades
Have beat it far from me,
And if I want to find ’em
X’H have to trail behind ’em
And go and join the Navy or the infan
tree!
—Berton Braley

Guard them alway;
Keef) them on land and sea.
Give them the victory;
May they be true to Thee
Lod God, we pray.
The principal, Edward Rynearson, says:
“This is our prayer for all Camp Han
