FRAT. FEED
PULL STUNT IN STYLE
Gang from “Hither and Yon,”
from Key West to Golden Gate
“Symposi” “Eat” in Fancy
Fete at Local Hotel.
FIRST OF MORE TO COME
The members of the Sigma Nu Frat
ernity who are ' <> a located at Camp Han
cock gathered at the Lenwook Hotel on
Wednesday evening. June 26th where they
again renew .-d old time ar luaintances
ships and talked about the da when the
gang about the ‘House” made things
hum on the campus. The boys were
largely from the West a .id Middle West,
just a sprinkling of fellows from the
“effete” East. And I guess wo will have
to hand it to those laus from the West.
They sure did null off the dinneA in great
: .vie. Many of ;he men in camp who
are ’•Sigs” < ould not be reached because
the date for the dinner was arranged op
so short a notice but the next affair
will be given more lengthy advertisement.
IJeui nant Gillespie acted as the Toast
master and his delightful manner in
handling the stunts of the evening doub
le y added to the pleasure of the evening.
Naturally the gang had tn • bust” into
songs—and the good old stuff that used to
make the House reverberate was again
hauled forth from memory's storehouse.
Os course the Toastmaster had to call on
the silver-tongues and from the sun
burnt lips of the Khaki Brothers poured
forth the Humour, Pathos and Reminis

M. G. Bately of < 'regon State opened
her .up with a rattling good talk His
journeys into the days when he was a
Freshman and comparing them to these
days when he is. as he said, “an acting
buck private.” set the gang off into
howls of delight.
A. J. Schweers followed with a short
talk that made the hit of the evening.
And this is why He said tha» if on
Sunday afternoon at 4 p. m. July 7th. the
hr s would meet at the Administration
Building of the Army Y. M. C A.. corner
of Wrightsboro and Wheless Road, he
would provide trucks to haul them out to
Carmichaels Fishing Club where a great
old Georgia Meal would bo served. That
suggestion just about hit. everybody in
the right place. And. by the way. any
Sig whose identity in camp is still a dead
secret, wants to let l|ean of Army Y. M.
C. A. No. 79 know where he Is hiding.
To miss the pa: tv for July 7th is to miss
the time of your young life.
Joe Herman of Augusta naturally in
vited the entire crowd around to his
home any time at all. If. the Sunday
mwoinir breakfasts don't suit you. just
hop a jitney and travel <u vn to Joe's
style that wo a<i dike y. . *'<■ -ift again.

FIRST U.S. MY
CORPS IS READY
I Secretary Baker Says That a
Million Americans Will be in
i France by July 4th. Great
Actions Are Coming
Washington.—Rcsurnpt.ion of the Ger
nian otTenaiv® on the west front is ex
i pected momentarily by army officials
Ju re General report Ab well
, French and British advices hav® shown
ucj ••, activity day by day, in
•g that the Germans arc preparing
for another a??sault.
Meanwhile American troops still are
being rushed overseas and there is every
reason to believe that by the Fourth of
July more than a million troops will have
sailed. An official announcement to that
effect a part of the Fourth of July
I a elebra! ion is to be expected.
There is great stir and movement
J among the Germans before the American
lines around Chauteau-Thierry. Fart of
:'he drive may be directed there is a re
i newal of the thrust at Paris. If so an
I army corps of American troops stands
i shoulder to •shoulder with the French
I again to block the road.
Secretary Baker Talks.
; Sec'retari. Baker disclosed Monday that
| organization of the first army corps, un
j dvr Major Gen. Hunter Liggett, prob
i ably had been completed, although he
! made no announcement.
‘I suspect,” the Secretary said, In re-
I ply to a question, “that several of our
i divisions are operating together as an
army corp under command of General
Liggett. Whether any other divisions
j have been created into an army corps
i and a tentative ■ army corps commander
chosen, I have not heard.”
It was learned, also, thta the first, sec
ond and third divisions (regular) com
manded. respectively, by Major Generals
Robert L. Bullard, Omar Bundy and Jo
seph T. Dickman, are included in the
first corps, and all are either at Chateau-
Thierry or (’antigny. The corps organ
ization plan, however, calls for six di
visions, four combatant and two replace
ment, and with the necessary artillery
units and other additional troops, the
total strength of a corps would be near
ly 220.000 men.
I. General Liggett has all the
elements necessary for his corps If his
organization is complete.
With his army corps in the theater
where great events are believed to be
impending, the expected German thrust
assumes new significance her. The opin
ion Is genera) among officers that the
blow is to be the heaviest yet struck.
Unless they mistake the signs, the Ger
mans are getting ready for the crucial
moment in their great effort to wrench
victory by force before full American
fighting power can be brought to bear
among them.
The belief of General March, chief of
staff, that the allied situation is “ex
tremely favorable.” as expressed in a
carefully weighed statement last Satur
day, is eblleved to be shared by the al
lied leaders. The speed with which Amer
; ican troops have been rushed to France
probably has played a large part in the
-cunfidencv and in
countries.
* The new German thrust will fail as
have the last two. The fact that a mil
lion American soldiers will probably have
saKed by July 4th and that five American
divisions have completed training with the
British and been reistorcd to General Per
ching since last March is another sign of
the speed with which General Foch is be
ing supplied with fighting man-power.
The recent stabbing thrusts of the
French and British In Flanders and
southwest of Compolgne are regarded as
DhowJng the entire confidence of the allied
! leaders in the outcome, although weelcs or
months of bitter fighting may be in store.
General Liggett.
Secretary Baker had no advices today
to show that formation of the first field
army corps, under General Liggett had
been entirely completed. The rank of
lieutenant general probably • JI go to the
command.
General Liggett’s corps is
regarded here as a part of General Per
shing's mobile forces, and as distinct
from troops in the army organization
I which is being built up to take over a
■ definite American sector. The appear-
I ance of American troops at five points
i along the line between St. Mihiel and the
I Swiss border indicates this whole stretch
j of 153 to 200 miles of the front is being
I rapidly Americanized. The definitely
I placed American sector from the vicinity
; of St. Mihiel to the Moselle river is in
; eluded and at present Is the left flank
; of the whole section which the Americans
appear to be destined to hold when they
come fully into position on the right of the
fine.
I If these ’ndications are correct, the
Mr. Baker Congratulates
Italian Army For Driving
Back Austrian Forces
The following congratulatory message has been cabled by the Secretary
of War to the American ambassador at Rome with a request that it be
delivered to the Italian Minister of War:
Your Excellency: The people of the United States are watching with
enthusiasm and admiration the splendid exploits of the great army of
Italy in resisting and driving back the enemy forces which recently un
dertook a major offensive on the Italian front. I take great pleasure in
tendering my own hearty congratulations, and would be most happy to
have a message of greeting and congratulation transmitted to General
Diaz and his brave soldiers.

The Golden Rule Is the Motto
of the New Dental Corps
Two Infirmaries Well Equipped to Do Expert Work. Corps
Fully Organized. Soldier Patients Trbated With Utmost
Kindness and Consideration.
The new Dental Corps which has re
placed the one which loft with the -Sth
Division is now organized and operating
smoothly. In the past few weeks txvo
buildings have been erected to be devot
ed entirely to treatment of the soldier s
tdeth.
Dental Infirmary No. 1, is located on
Pt nns v I van iix Avenue, close to “No. <8
Y” and No. 2 is on Wheless Road just
South of ”Y” Administration Building.
These infirmaries are being equipped
by the government with 42 base dental
outfits which are very much more com
plete than the "Portable” equipment now
in use as it Includes all modern instru
ments and furniture that go to furnish
the civil dental office. We will be able
to do crown and bridge work and to make
false teeth where needed.
All together, Including the dental sur
geons in the Ordnance Training Camp
and the Hose Hospital there are 32 <Jen~
tai officer here- 4
The first Work that is done rar the sol
diers Is an examination of the teeth in
a general way. When we find badly brok
en-down. decayed teeth or roots in a
mouth the man's name is taken and lat
er he is sent to one of the infirmaries
to have those teeth removed. In de
fence of the dental corps I want to say
that the Army Dental Surgeon does not
pull teeth promiscuously. He only ex
tracts as a last resort where neglect nr
accident has put the tooth In a hopeless
condition. It is a well known fart in
medical circles that bad terth are the
primary cause of many pathological
positions on both sides of Chateau-Thler
ry and near Mont Didier, farther north,
where the French and British lines join,
are held by the American mobile units,
thrown in to meet the emergency created
by the Gertpan offnsive.
3,378,998 Women Registered
For War Work in 25 States
The Committee on Public Information,
Division on Women’s War Work, issues
the following:
There are now 3,378,998 women regis
tered for service according to their spe
cialized talents under the Woman's t’om
mittee of the Council of National De
fense. The majority are registered for in
dustries and agriculture. This census Is
being taken by the state committees of
the council. These figures represent the
incomplete registration returns from 25
states. The census taking has been re
tarded by the tremendous amount of
clerical work, and i:. some districts by
the misunderstanding of persons who be
lieved that the act of registering was
equivalent to compulsory labor. A sec
ond registration driv' will begin in the
early fall.
The Pennsylvania division has carried
the registration through to .e extent,
that the organization is able to report
1.481 "placements” of women in work.
An informative campaign will precede
the second drive.

succeeding to a very ftfreet degree.
A work like ours can only gain big
results by the hearty co-operation of the

WAR RISK BUREAU
MAIL A TASK
Letters in Every Language in
All Degrees of Legibility.
Special Schools to Instruct
Employees
More than 15,000 letters a day are pour
ing into the Bureau of War Risk Insur
ance. Over 23,000 pieces of mail were re
ceived in one day during the past week
and the daily average is steadily in
creasing. This tremendous correspond
ence is ordy a small index of the magni
tude <>f the task that confronts the Bu
reau <»f War Risk Insurance in paying
the allotments and allowances to the de
pendents of our soldiers and sailors, com
pensation for deaths and injuries and in
surance to the families of those who offer
the supreme sacrifice on the altar of pa
triotism.
The United States Bureau of Efficiency
has had constant and direct supervision
of the correspondence problem since last
February and is co-operating with the
Treasury Department to handle the mat
ter effectively and expeditiously. Pcbso’s
fur the training .of awnre' • .ake and
letter writers In th /'Technique of the War
Risk Insurance Taiw have been organ
ized, and at the present time more than,
one hundred and sixty-five employees,
principally women, are taking the two
weeks’ course of instruction.
Many of the letters received by the bu
reau are vague and indefinite, illegible, or
fail to give full names and addresses, add
ing enormously to the task. Frequently
communications aer signed "A Mother” or
"A Soldier’s Mother,” giving no address
at. all and simply referring to "My Son”
without giving his name, rank, organ
ization and address.
When it Is considered that letters are
received in every conceivable language,
and that every communication presents
an intricate problem in allotments and
allowances, compensation, or insurance,
or pfuhaps in all three, it. is seen how
essential It is that full information be
supplied to the bureau in order to handle
Hie (juestions expeditiously. A special
effort is being, made by the bureau to
urge all (‘(Jirespondents to supply com
plete data with regard to every specific
case, including the name, rank, number
of the organization and address of the
soldier or sailor in addition to their own
names, addresses and relationship.
The constant growth of the bureau Is
further reflected in the increase in the
continuous flow of allotment and allow
ance statements received from soldiers
and sailors, an average of 11,000 now be
ing received daily. Approximately 125.000
changes in the status of men in the mili
tary or naval service are reported to the
bureau every month.
The machinery of the bureau is kept in
constant motion by a force of 6,000 em
ploy.-: working in day and night shifts.
More than 3.330.000 government checks,
chiefly for allotments and allowances,
have been sent out, aggregating upward
of $101,000,000.
Between 850.000 and 900.000 checks are
now being mailed every month, the aver
age recently being 35.000 checks a day.
I'housands of dependents of soldiers and
sailors expect to receive their June allot
ments and allowances in the current
month but under the Jaw such allotments
and allowances are not payable until
July. Misunderstandings of this char
acter unnecessarily aggra ate (he corre
spondence problem.
THE THIRD HEAVY HOLDS
GALA MESS HALL
AFFAIR
Liberty Theater Stars Present
As Guests Add to Occasion.
Captain Concludes Dinner
With Neat Speech.
At noon of Sunday oune 30th, the 3
H. M. O. R. S. had a blowout—pot a
blow up—at mess. The Sunday mess was
made a gala occosion ahd many and
varied were the attractions presented for
the joy and edification of the boys. Some
one said. I think it was Top Sergeant
Crory, that the dinner was given in honor
of the first Sunday off guard, the winning
of two ball games, and of the fact that
the Third Heavy is now the (Home
Guard.) For what ever reasons may
have prompted the affair, needless to say
It was a swell-elegant one.
Right off the bat we will state that
the Cooks did themselves proud. The
service and style was par-excellent.
Even Gerardy and Butch over worked—
[ and I might as well state that it must
be some occasion when those two worth
-1 ies extend theselves.
The meal was a jim-dandy. Chicken
and all the fixing. Apple pie and Ice
cream—also lemonade wherein the taste
of lemon was quite prominent. The
helpings were generous and not one could
truthfully say that he lacked a big meal.
During the meal sweet strains of music
was dispensed by the Third’s Own Jazz
Band. And say, boy. that’s some Band.
Crory officiated at the piano and under
his swirling leadership the boys played
until perspiration dimmed their eyes. Now
and anon the diners burst into loud and
clamorous applause as the Band would
swell forth into riotous music.
Granger recited several pieces. The
one entitled “The Boy from Flint” mak
ing the hit.
Ohlson sang* several baritone solos.
They were- well received.
And then, friends, in walked Brothers
Barnhard with several of the Artists from
the Liberty Theatre. Brothers Barnhard
tripped into the Mess Hall beaming—enuf
to crack the enamel on tfleir teeth. And
the funny part, of it is Brother Supplv
Sergeant Barnhard beat Brother Chief
Musician Barnhard to it. The former
dragged the pretty little miss who will be
remembered as singing "I wont play if
I can’t be a Lieutenant.” while Bugler
Barnhard had to be content with the
rest of the outfit. Needless to say, dear
reader, that the Supply Sergeant never
gave Brother Bugler a look in. No not
he. No doubt if Boyd had passed out
one of those enlarged pictures of his that
he recently had at Jowitts he
would have won out in a walk.
The folks from the Liberty just did
their gosh-xlarnerst; had the bovs crazy
and scrappy j for air. They surely made
that old slNick hum. All the popular
stuff was put on and in the
