Extensoin work of 75 was strong this
week. Extension Secretary Bicksler,
assisted by Secretary Aiken, accompa
nied the Ambulance Corps on its six
nay hike. The service of obtaining
sweeets, post cards and other wants
for the boys while confined to the
marching line was much appreciated.
Secretary Richards served the 107th
Field Artillery on the range from Mon
day until Friday evening. All were
thankful to have escaped the heavy
wind storm of Friday night under the
range conditions.
Religious services on both Sunday
and ewniiies were well at
tended. Dr. Owens was the speaker
on Sunday and there -were twelve re-
U’uista for prayer and their decisions.
On Thursday after the message of Dr.

were'seventeen decisions for the Chris

The educational features of this week
were the large number of government
lectures and instruction classes held
in the building and the splendid ad
dress on Monday night on the "Power
of Knowledge” by Judge E. 11. Calla
way, of Augusta.
Plenty of band music is heard in our
building these days with three difft>
ent bands practicing in the building
in mornin gaud afetrnoon. One of the
pleasing concerts of the Sanitary Train
band was heard on Monday' evening
preceding Judge Collaway’s lecture.
No words of praise are high enough
for the musical concert On Friday’ night
given by Senior Andonegui. his wife,
Miss Mary Hunton and Robert Irvin.
Senor'Andonegui is a master violinist
and rendered a number of delightful
solos.
Miss Hunter, of Atlanta, was the

were as pleasing as their music.

The past week has been a busy' one
for this building. The Dramatic Club
which met on Monday night had a
good rehearsal for the minstrel show
which will have taken place by the
time this goes to press. At eight
thirty Monday night we had an ex
cellent Jecture by Prof. Turk of the
administration staff on the “Advan
tages of Knowing French.” Following
his talk a French class was organized
which will meet two nights a week.
Tuesday night we had-the largest
crowd ever in our building-s'when we
presented the seven-reel picture pro
duction,, “Silas Marner.” There were
over 1,200 men here, sitting on the
rafters, on top of all the bookcases,
on the counter, on the floor in front
of the stage, in fact squeezed in in
every available spot- In addition to
the picture feature we had the 112th
Jazz Orchestra which played the in
cidental music and made another big
hit with the men.
The mid-week religious meeting on
Wednesday night was addressed by
Dr. Edward C. Kunkle and he brought
a message to the men which made a
profound impression upon them.
We had a. rare musical treat on
Thursday night when Barrington
Branch and M. I). Olmos appeared. Mr.
Branch is a concert pianist of ability
and he rendered" his numbers with that
expression which only a true artist
can give. M. D. Olmes, the violinist,
is well-known rhe soldier boys
who come to the building here and as
usual his numbers made a big hit with
the fellows.
Friday night Professor Turk, con
ducted the French class which met the
early part of tlm evening. A number
of new men joined. We were just
ready to start the pictures when the
lights went out and were out for some
time. During this period Pianist A. B.
Supplee, ana Secretary F. A. Smith
kept things moving by leading popu
lar songs which were sung by' the men
with a lot of enthusiasm. Finally
the lights came on and then we started
the pictu * program.
The “peppy” music by Pianist Sup
plee helped a lot though in making the
pictures enjoyable. Between parts
Secretary' Smith conducted a Sing-
Song.
Saturday was a cold raw day. both
inside and outside, but in suite of the
lack of warmth in®bur buil'b.ig there
was a good crowd sitting around all
through the day. There was not any
program at night, it being “Write
Night.”
Sunday' morning the Bible Class met
around the big heater with Secretary
Adams in charge. This was followed
by the regimental service. Chaplain
Hall preached the sermon, and Camp
Director Tebbs led the singing.
At night Dr. Ewers from Pittsburg,
was with us and gave us one of the
finest talks here in a long time. There
was a good crowd in attendance at all
the services Sunday.

, The religious service conducted by !
Secretary Dobson on last Sunday I
evening had an unusually large at-1
tendance and there were many re
sponses to his appeal to the men to
hold up their hands for prayer. Dr.
Dobson’s subject was: “The Word
Christian,’ and his audience sat tense
and evidently deeply' interested in the
discourse from start to finish. This
was also noticeable in the audience
which gathered to listen to the address
delivered by Secretary Henry at the
mid-week religfous service held on
Wednesday evening.
The 103rd Engineers’ Band (former
ly Cavalry Band) gave a fine concert
in connection with the movies on last
Monday' evening. Under the efficient
leadership of Bandmaster Calhoun this
band certainly' produces some splendid
musical programs.
The motion picture version of George
pilot's famous, story “Silas Manor,”
which was shown on Thursday even
ing, was, by long odds, one of the best
movie shows th.-ii we have had. The
pictures were late In starting due to
the fact that the lights were out at the
regular starting time. During the
wait Secretary Dobson read a synopsis
of President Wilson’s peace message,
and Secretary Lineback entertained the
audience, in the dark, by some readings
from the works of James- Whitcomb
Riley.
Stunt night on Tuesday had a good
attendance and the men showed a keen
interest in the very good program of
fered. The famous quartet from Co.
F, 103rd Engineers brought down the
'fouse with their numbers. These boys
are wonderful producers of harmony
and have become very popular locally.
Private Mahoney of Company E, 112th
Infantry, a professional entertainer in
civil life, gave some very clever imi
tations of various sounds in the animal
world and elsewhere. . Private King,
of Company D, 112th Infantry, delight
ed the audience with some Harry' Lau
der songs, sung as only' a. true Scotch
man can sing them.
On Fr I y evening, after Oo’clock,
the building was turned over to a
meetingof the officers of the Divisional j
Medical Corps. \
Some interesting discussions follow-!
ed. Camp talent /furnished some in
teresting features of the program. Re
freshments and sandwiches and grape
juice were served.
The checker tournament on Saturday
evening proved again to be a very' pop
ular feature. Private Hilliard, of Co.
C. Engineers, was again the winner
over Private Hardin, of Co. B, I.C?th
Machine Gun Battalion.
He has been challenged by Sergeant
Hugh Carter, of Company E, Engineers,
and the match is to be played soon.

Good music, good speaking, good movies
and an extellent spirit among the men
summarizes the activities of the past
week at No. 78.
On Tuesday we had the pleasure of-lis
tening to a most excellent program ren
dered by Senor Jose Andonegui, violinist,
who was accompanied on the piano by his
wife, and also Mr. Sura, soloist, of the
112th Infantry. The men showed their in
tense appreciation for the classical and
popular selections rendered by their rapt
attention and their hearty applause. It
is not often that an audience of tired sol
diers will remain absolutely quiet, charm
ed by the music and it is a tribute to Se
nor Andonegui’s playing that such was
the case. It is hoped that he will be able
to return to us in the near future.
The good speakfrig has come to us
through Mr. Ewers of Pittsburg who is
spending a month at work in camp. He
has given us two talks which have come
straight from his heart and just as
straight from his shoulder. He has start
ed the men to thinking seriously along
constructive lines. "There is something
wrong with a man who is fighting for his
country and cannot fight hfmself —his de
sires and his temptations. Master your
self NOW, and you will not have to fight
that battle when you reach France.’’ And
by the number of "War rolls” which were
signed after the meeting it is evident that
the men made definite decisions, as a re
sult of his talks, to take their stand with
Christ and to fight God’s batites with all
thir power and irflght.
Silas Marner was the picture of the
week in the movies. It is a splendid thing
when we may have such pictures and the
men enjoy them. May we have many
more of the same type!
