Lieut. Guy De Valroger, of
Mission Militaire Francaise,
Delivers Patriotic Address.
Frequent and Hearty Ap
plause. French and American
Soldiers, With Other Allies,
Champions of World Freedom.
Celebration Ends With .Singing
Marsellaise and Star Spangled
Banner
With that dash and spirit which has
made much for the understanding and
natural friendship which has drawn the
French and American people so close to
gether in their commercial, social and
political lite, the anniversary of the Fall
of the Bastle, National Liberty Day of
France celebrated at Hut 77 in a fitting
manner, on Sunday evening, July 14.
The Introductory nr opening address,
made by Secretary Frazer, prepared the
‘No more standing room' crowd for
the songs and speeches that followed.
Secretary Battie seemed to have on his
finger ends any and every song called
for. The singing opened with ’Ameri
ca,” and after the Introductory Address,
Lieutenant Guy De Valroger. of ‘■Mis
sion Miiltaire Francaise” delivered a
most interestingly patriotic address, in
Wheh he reviewed the long exist ng
friendship between his France and The
United States—making frequent refer
ences to incidents of familiar history in
which the names of LaFayette and Roc
hambeau were mentioned and emphasized
by the applause of the audience.
The Speaker closed his address with
the expressed hope that the French and
American Soldiers with their other al
lied nations would soon inarch side by
side into the Kaiser’s Capital City as
victors over tyranny, as the constituted
Champions of World Freedom from the
despotism of Kings and make the whole
World Safe For Democracy.
After Lieutenant De Valroger’s ad
dress, “The Marseillaise” was sung by the
audience standing which ended with
“three cheers and vivo la France.”
Then with most hearty enthusiasm did
all' present inin in “Pack yn vnnr
Troubles”, “Over There”, "and the clos
ing song—" The Star-Spangled Banner.”
By reason of this .Anniversary occasion
the “14th Day of July” has been stamped
upon the minds and imbeded in the
hearts of the seven and eight hundred
American soldiers present as meaning for
the people of France what the Fourth of
July means for the people of the United
States.
There were present from the French
Contngent who are related to Camp Han
cock Truing .Schools, Lieutenant Mous
set. Adjutant* de Renusson and Mrs. de
Renusson. Adjutant Thibaoult and Sar

LECTURE TO MEN OF
QUARTERMASTER
GORPSJNSPIRING
Promotions Come to the Work
ers—lnteresting Branch of
Service —High Class Personel
—Army Cannot Get Along
Without the Quartermaster
CALLS FOR PEP AND HARD
WORK
By “Cy” Hecker,
Just an earfull of that little lecture
that was imparted to us Thursday noon.
It affbrds me pleasure at this present
time to relate to you a few experiences
of men who thought they were dissatis
fied with their positions (I mean you Q.
M. men). It's really not a case of dissat
isfaction with your positions, it’s just a
matter of self pride why 1 can’t have
this and why 1 don’t have what the
other fellow has. There are two things
to be considered in the army, regardless
of the branch, one is length of service
and the other is, are you entitled to what
Is coming to you. Pride in the army
means an awful lot, especially when it
conies to promotions, but—why give up
the experience and think you will do
better elsewhere, when you are only do
ing an injustice toyourself. Any* man
knows that if he is an expert in his par
ticular line, he will be considered in due
time, and just because your commander’s
hands are tied in the way of handling
out promotions shouldn't make you lag
with your work. Don't be discontented
and dissatisfied and think of many ways
whereby you could get something better
somewhere else when you are already in
a position where you could be looked
upon for consideration. You are improv
ing day by day with your work (a work
that is looked upon as just as important,
as any branch in the service); without
you the army can’t be fed—without you
they can’t be paid—without you they
can’t be properly clothed.
Lectures are given you to enlighten you
as to what is being done in other depart
ments just to acquaint you with work
which ip due time—if you are really de
serving of it a promotion will be rolling
along. Everything is being done for youf*
comfort V(JIT are the one that lining
considered in every respect, so why fall
down on the job and be dissatisfied —sit
tight and support the Q. M. Co-oper
ation today tn any line of business means
success and without that it means fail
ure.
Now. let’s all get together and give up
that idea that. J will never get anything
down there and make your work stand
out above all others. We as a company
have established an enviable reputation
throughout the country and to fall down
now would only mean a black eye not
only to the staff but to us as well.
We have wonderful quarters, a table
that can be compared to the best of
them and above all we should feel proud
of the. fact that. we. are Q. M. men—a
branch that demands a man of educa
tion and certain qualifications before he
can enter.
Put some enthusiasm into your work.
It’s the PEP that you put into things
that makes the wheels go around. For
J example. Colonel King of the 28th Di
vision put pep into his men and look
at them today. They are the most talked
of men that ever left for overseas .train
ed up tn the minute, and they will sure
give a good- account of themselves when
the real fighting begins. Why? Because
they were all full of PEP.
When they start slicing the cake, see
what you could grab yourself in the line
of a promotion -go to it, fellows, it’s
there, for you to IT NOW.
With apologies to Robert, W. Service,
a little verse with a lot of meaning—
You’re sick of the game? Well, now,
that’s a shame.
You’re brave and you're young and
you’re bright.
You've had a raw deal? I know, but
don't, squeal.
Buck up; do your damndest and f.'ght.
It’s the plugging away that will win you
the day,
! So don’t be a piker, old pard.
Just buck on your grit—lt's so easy to
quit—
It’s the keeping on living that’s hard.
All hands together for a bigger and
better Q. M. and make them talk about
the boys at the bottom of the hill.
JULY MOVEMENT TO
CAMP HERE ALREADY
TOTALS 2,000 MEN
Recruits to Number of 17,700
Coming to Hancocck During
the Month. Colonel Falgade,
of French Army, Accompanied
by Lieut. Col. Garrison Me-
Cackey of U. S. General Staff,
Pays Camp a Visit

Camp Hancock now totals 2,000 men. The
total movement for the month will run
up to 17,700. The camp’s population is
now about 28,000.
The chief event of interest at head
quarters Tuesday was the visit of Colonel
Falgade of the French army, who is mak
ing a tour of inspection of American
army camps. He is being conducted on
this tour by Lieut.-Col. Garrison Mc-
Caskey of the general staff at Washing
ton. The French officer was much im
pressed with the progress being made in
training machine gunnersat Hancock.
The work of training the men here is
going forward without a hitch. Noth
ing further has been learned at head
quarters as to the proposed extension of
the cam «. although definite information
is expected within the next few days.

VOTED SUCCESS
Declared One of the Finest Af
fairs of Its Kind Ever Given
at Camp. Sergeant Donohue,
Toastmaster of the Occasion.
Numerous Speeches. Former
Officers Present
ROUSING THANKS TO NON
COMS
Amid Scenes of enthusiasm and good
fellowship, the Second Provisional Com
pany of the Mftchtne Training Group No,
I,'damp iiafibbek, held a unique banquet
last Friday evening in the company moss
hall.
In this, in everything else which it
has attempted since coming to Camp
Hancock two months ago. the eScond
easily maintained its high standard and
the celebration, which lasted until 11
o'clock, will go down as one of the
finest affairs of its kind ever given at
the camp.
Aside from the dinner itself, which the
boys were unanimous in declaring' was
“the best feed we have had since we left
dear old Broadway,” the speeches and en
tertainment evoked prolonged applause.
The banquet started at 8 o’clock, when
Lieutenant Joseph A. Ruttincutter, to
whose work much of the success of the
affair Is due, called the company to or
der and introduced First. Sergeant. James
M. Donohue as toastmaster. The selec
tion was a happy one, for Sergeant Dona
hue was at his best on that occasion.
The first speaker to be introduced by
the toastmaster was Captain Oscar De-
Wolf Rr?*dolph, the company commander,
under whose guidance the company has
been trained for service. He said that the
members of the company com nosed one of
the finest bodies of men with whom he
had ever been thrown in contact.
“There is much that you still have to
learn,” said the captain, amid great ap
plause, “but your work here indicates that
you won" have any trouble in learning it.
For one thing all of you will have to learn
how a carry yourselves somewhat as
Shongold salutes.
The next speaker was Captain S. G.
Blanton, now of the Headquarters Com
pany. who formerly was commander of
the Second. Captain Blanton started the
boys of the Second on their military ca
reer, and how well he started it was indi
cated by the great # applause with which
he spoke.
Captain Blanton told an interesting
story of how he happened to select. First
Sergeant Donohue for that place.
“When you boys came into Camp Han
cock,” he said, “you were a bunch of raw
recruits, tired and hungry from your long
trip. J walked down the company street,
and Donohue was the only man who
jumped to attention and saluted me. I
learned that ho had had experience in
the New York National Guard and I said
to him, ‘You are the First Sergeant.’ 1 am
glad to say that he has made good.”
Lieutenant Theron B. Fullerton, of the
Second, was on the list for a speech, but
on account of extreme fatigue he asked to
be excused.
The next speech was by Lieutenant G.
E. C. Garrett, of the Headquarters Com
pany, who was a popular officer of the
Second when Captain Blanton was Its
commander.
Lieutenant Frank B. Astroth in a short
speech complimented the company very
highly.
The Y. M. C. A. was represented by
David 7 j. Jamison and Henry Luessen.
Lieutenant A. S. Kaylor, one <t the
most popular officers of the company,
told how he had gained considerable
weight since being in the army. He indi
cated that he would vouch for the quality
nf food served by the Quartermaster’s
Department.
As each officer concluded his speech the
boys stood and gave three rousing cheera
for them.
’Sergeant Donohue next called on
gold to show what the captain meant
when he referred tn the way Shongold sa
lutes, but Shongold. who is a popular ex
ponent of English physical culture as it
is practiced in Cann Hancock, had evi
dently heard about it and beat Sergeant
Donohue to it by disappearing quite as
ranidly as he enmes to attention.
The next speaker was Corporal Welling
ton Wright, who responded to the toast,
“The Training Cadry.” Corporal Wright
expressed the appreciation of the mem
bers of the company for the kindness,
courtesy, and consideration shown by the
members of that organization to the men.
Although Sergeant Fred E. Ennis re- |
plied to the toast in behalf of the Cadry,
he is no longer a member of that organi
zation. Sergeant Ennis told of the high
regard felt by the Cadry for each member
of the company.
The last sp/*aker of the evening wa»s j
Corporal Willie Rickiefs. formerly the L
Second, but recently transferred to the I
Recruit Company.
■On motion of Lieutenant A:**roth. the ?
boys passed a rousing vote of thanks to
C’arl Stetndler, the mess sergeant, the
Supply Sergeant John S. Foster, tn the
.non-o&mmissinned officers who acted as
the kitchen police, and to the cooks for
their work to make the affair a success.
And thus came to a close one of the
biggest nights ever held in Camp IThn
cock.

War Department Statement
Issued on German Offensive
After Receipt of Reports
From Pershing and Bliss.
Washington.—“ The general situation
this morning is regarded as satisfactory,”
says a War Department statement is
sued today based on dispatches from
General Pershing and Gemeral Bliss, con
firming press accounts of the fighting yes
terday.
Warning is given, however, that the
first day of such a battle is merely gen
eral advance guard action, and that
great pressure of reserves is still to be
looked for.
Tho Statement,
The statement follows:
“Dispatches received from General Per
shing and General Bliss confirm the
press accounts of yesterday’s fighting.
American troops west of Surmelis coun
ter-attacked, captured prisoners, estab
lished and are holding their advance po
sitions. Germany’s barrage was’ met by
counter-barrage which in many places
prevented the advance of their infantry.
Full reports covering the entire front
are, of course, not yet available. The
general situation this morning is re
garded as satisfactory.
“The first day in such a battle, is of
course, is a general advance guard ac
tion. The great pressure of resrves and
concentrated masses is still to be looked
for.”

Modern Dentists’ Duty To Prevent,
Besides Correct, Bad Teeth.
How To Use Brush
A Timely Article of Instructive
Information Upon An Im
portant Subject. Don’t Brush
Teeth Up and Down, or Cross
wise-Read How
From my observation over a long
period 1 know that hardly one person
in a thousand cleans his teeth properly
or knows how, that percentage includes
even the dentists themselves.
In a previous issue of ’‘Trench and
Camp” the statement was made that
the average man spends less than
half a minute cleaning his teeth and
now I will try to tell you how he spends
those few seconds. He simply gives
tjiem a “lick and a promise,” brushing
crosswise and in most cases not touch
ing the inside and grinding surfaces
at all.
I wantZj.o fell how you should use
your toofs brush and why you should
do it tW*f RIGHT way. In the first
place ovi should never brush his teeth
crosswise and the following illustra
tion will clearly show why you should
Ipt
you sweep an ordinary board floor
(and most of us have that experience
when on “K. P. detail) crosswise we, of
course us you can readily see, fill the
cracks with the dust and dirt as we
sweep over them. You can then un
derstand *that if the surfaces of the
teeth arc dirty brushing them that way
cleans the outside surfaces but fills
the spaces between the teeth with dirt
so that after the hasty cleaning that
most of us give our teeth we leave
that “dirt” in those spaces to rot and
cause the teeth to decay.
You all know that most teeth begin
to decay or get holes in places that
are hard to get at The above story
shows why such is the case.
That illustration I have given to
nearly every patient I have had since
I have been .an army dental surgeon
and almost every man has said after
hearing it. “Oh, I see; then I should
use an up and down stroke with my
brush.” lie is. wrong again, for the
following reason: There is a flap of
gum that laps over the neck of the
teeth but is not attached to it, called

Judge Emory Speer Will Hold
Court at Camp Hancock on
July 24th
APPLICATIONS BEING

Over 800 Aliens at Camp Were

fair.
Following up the naturalization several
weeks ago of 851 aliens at Camp Han
cock, announcement is made that 2,000
other aliens of this camp are to be given
American citizenship.
Judge Emory Speer will come
gusta on July 24th., and will for the
second time this year hold court at Camp
Hancock. Herbert E. Gyles, a prominent
attorney of Aiken, who has entered the
service of the government, is no wat
Hancock receiving applications from the
aliens. The work will be in charge of
Louis Weinberger, assistant United
States naturalization examiner, who will
come to Augusta within a few days.
Mr. Weinberger, with the assistant of
Mr. Gyles, handler this work here be
fore.
All “red tape” in becoming citizens, so
far a,s a member of the United States
army is concerned, has been eliminated
by the government. Without filing first,
papers, or even making application in the
district within which he lives, a soldier,
by securing a statement from his com
pany commander that he is well be
haved and loyal to this country, may be
come a full-fledged citizen
The work of naturalizing the 851 men
at Hancock several weeks ago required
but one day. Judge Speer handled the
I situation at one sitting, returning to
Macon the same night. At that time Au
, gusta had the distinction of extending
citizenship to more aliens in one day
( than any other city in the United States.
Since then, though, other camps have
naturalized thousands of soldiers.

gum.” Now if we use the up stroke
with the tooth brush we brush food
or dirt that may be on the surfaces of
the tteth, up under the gum on the the
down stroke that “dirt” is left up un
der the gum where it rots and makes
gum sore and to bleed easily whict
condition in a little time will cause
“Pyorrhea Alvoelaris” or “pus in the
gums,” which cuses the teeth to
loosen and in many cases good teeth
not decayed in the least are lost be
cause of this condition.
Some authorities ciaim that a very
large percentage of the human race
suffer to some degree from this dis
agreeable and unhealthy condition and
from my experience I am of the same
opinion.
Next then I will explain the right
and only way a tooth brush should be
used: Use. of course, some good tooth
paste or powder, either is all right, as
you prefer, and brush DOWN from
the gum toward the end of the tooth
on the upper jaw and from the gum
UPWARD on the LOWER JAW, not
forgetting to brush BOTH INSIDE and
OUT. After cleaning that way for at
least a full minute then brush the top
surfaces of the back or grinding teeth
in ALL DIRECTIONS and in the
morning at the first cleaning of the
day don't forget to brush the tongue
as well for it -gets coated during the
hours spent in sleep so that the many
glands in it become stopped up. If
you are careful not to touch the roof
of the mouth with the brush indoing
this it,will not gag you.
I hope I have shown clearly how to
(•■lean the teeth and have demonstrat
ed why it is so important to do It
right. Bear with me while I repeat
that the object of thesj few little ar
ticles is to try to impress on you the
value of good sound teeth as related
to your general well-being both phys
ically and mentally. It is the dentist’s
"modern” duty to PREVENT rather

festive event being a compliment fronti
the enlisted men to Capt. Z. P. Smithy
the commanding officer of the

company entertains a loyal devotion.
The affair was a most delightful, as well
as elaborate one. The dining room of the
hotel was beautifully decorated with the /
national colors, and fragrant summer ’
flowery adorned each table (these being
sent to the base hospital this morning for",
the sick soldiers). Throughput the eyep-4 :

eral lady guests were present, including
Mrs. Z. P. Smith.
Gift For Capt. smith.
The principal event of the occasion was
the presentation by the company of an
exquisite set of sterling silver military
brushes to Captain Smith, appropriately -
engraved. The presentation, however,
was made to Mrs. Smith, as, according to
the rules of military law, no officer is
permitted to receive a gift from enlisted
men, but Mrs. Smith in a happy little
speech, very gracefully gave them to her
husband, stating that a woman had no
need for military brushes.
The presentation was made by Sergt*
L. D. Utts, one of the. most popular men
of the company, to whom is also due great
credit for the success of the banquet, as

Amusement Features.
The banquet was a success ifi
way, and while It had its touching
dents, it was also not. without pollity
merriment. The best of good fellowship
reigned supreme. Sergeant J. J. Farrell
was the very clever toastmaster of the MMH
occasion. Introducing the speakers and
announcing the amusement features, apd WM
in the course of his remarks, his
ous sallies brought forth much applause. W
During the dinner, popular songs were
sung by some of the vocalists of the ’
company, including Private C. T. Olsbn
and Corp. F. L. Thompson and Paul H.
Stephens. Mrs. Squires, wife of-one of
the soldiers, also favored the assemblage
with several beautiful vocal selectioris.
Mrs| Squires is the possessor of a mezzo
soprano of rare quality and volume and
her renditions were greatly enjoyed.
Other amusement features of the even
ing included several acts contributed by
the two local vaudeville houses, all of
which received a big ovation, and the
men felt greatly indebted to the perform
ers for their kindness Ln appearing for
them. Among them were McLeod and
Carp, McGinnis Brothers and W. C.
Faulkner, all from the New Modjeska;
and Cahill and FdmftJne and Gates and
Finlay from the Wells.
Mr. Pierce’s Address.
The principal speaker of the wcasten
was Hon. Wallace B. Pierce, of Augusta.. '
Mr. Pierce, at all times an eloquent
speaker, delivered one of the most 4n-»
spiring addresses to the Ordnance menK
that has been heard here in a long timb.
He spoke of the great cause they have
enlisted to espouse and of the respons
ibility that is on every man, from the
most insignificant private to the highest
officer, and of the sense of satisfaction
that will be theirs when the great strug
gle for democracy and decency shall have
been won.
Mr. Pierce commended the men fot*
their great loyalty and devotion to their
commander, asserting that if such a spirit
of fidelity prevails throughout the United
States army, its armies should be in
vincible to all foes. He also mentioned
the significance of the many kind ex- ,i
pressions of affection for Capt. Smith that
had been made by the men during the
evening, declaring that for a commander
to be held in such high regard by the
men of his command is a distinction
grater than that of having his name go
down in history for deeds of valor and
heroism.
The speaker referred to the world war
in its broader aspects, and the part that
the American soldiers are playing in mak
ing world history. His address abounded 1
in patriotism throughout, and in conclud- . s
ing he told the Ordnance men how glad i
Augusta is to have them and the Ma- |
chine Gun men here, as they, in a large
measure, take the places of “Augusta’s
own” who have gone out to other camps.
The banquet was concluded at a late
hour with the entire assemblage singing
“The Star-Spangled Banner.”
