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 cence hat has been preserved from Fraternity Dinner to Fraternity Dinner 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.

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.

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. NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War of the United States.” 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. 777>7"-7777: I Lil rtts.l WWlfwri' tiHw (BMBm • fa..,.

We of the dental corps nt (’amp Han cock fully realize the importance and value of our Work here in placing these soldiers in the best possible condition from a dental standpoint and I can safe ly say that to a man we are enthusiasti cally and earnestly giving to the best of our ability for the good of the country end the individual soldier.

A work like ours can only gain big results by the hearty co-operation of the officers of the "Staff” and "Line." We have asked and are receiving that sup port to the fullest, extent.

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 gets the boys.
