—: —— j. ggo| R. (, w M Elaborate Entertainment For Specialists’ School Top-Notcher Show Given Be fore Pleased Throng. Almost Entire School Present. Lieut. Millman Arranges For a Reg ular Schedule of Such Events. Under Sanction of Lieut. Col. Lee, Who Has Mapped Out Big Recreational Program Another of the splendid entertain ments arranged by Lieutenant Colo nel Lee for the Spe?ialists' School was given at "Y” 77 last Saturday after noon, before a large and enthusiastic audience. Although attendance was not compulsory, practically everyone in the School was present, including the. officers, many of whom had their lad'ies with them. The show was a top-not ch er from start to finish, apd the boys in khaki were given a genuine treat; by their enthusiastic applause l they manifested their warm appreciation of the work of the professional entertainers who so generously came out to Camp from Augusta for the occasion. Through the influence and activity of Lieut. Albert A. Millman, who is closely as sociated with the management of the Loew Theatre organization, it is pos sible to have the regular entertainers from the Loew "Modjeska' ’ theatre and from the Keith ■‘Wells” theatre give their regular acts on the ”Y” stage, and this arrangement will be continued every Saturday, for the benefit of the men of the Specialists’ School only. While every act went ‘‘over the top” the soldiers were especially friendly to an act put on by the three of their brothers-in-arms —the famous Bulger trio, now of headquarters com pany M. G. T. C. but formerly of ’the vaudeville stage. The work of these men on the banjo, on the piano, and in comedy vocal numbers is of the highest grade, and would be a credit to a “Big Time” program It is hoped they will take part in other of these Saturday afternoon shows. That the acts put on by the pro fessional entertainers were good goes without saying; they felt the enthu siasm of the audience and put a lit tle extra snap into their work. Raines and Goodrich presented a delightful singing and talking act. Rush, Levan and Sully scored heavily in singing and comedy acrobatics. Sully took some great falls. Auyler and Miller had a neat piano and singing act, with bright chatter. Special credit must W given to the five-piece volunteer orchestra music in remarkably fine style sfnd without rehearsal. The exceptional ability of the leader. Private Leonard Joseph of Headquarters Company M. G. T. C., at the piano, was of great assist nee to the instrumentalists, who ./ere } rivates Schwartz, Davenport ami Benedict. Without their support the show could not have been staged. The rather difficult task of assem bling the properties and managing the stage was assigned to Sergeant Sam Freed, the popular mess* sergeant of School Company No. 1 for Enlisted Students, who has had years of expe rience at just that sort of thing. He managed to improvise t draw curtain and to arrange things in such away that every act went off smoothly. Before the show the entertainers were guests nt luncheon at the Of ficers' Mess, and after the show they /ere taken to Augusta in special -no tors in time for the rfgular matinee. For next Saturd ijr afternoon Lieu tenant Millman is arranging an es pecially elaborate program, on which there will be a number of surprises. Soldiers who can entertain should get in touch with him. The nun of 'the Specialists’ School are keenly ap preciative ofhheir unique privilege in hr.ving this Saturday afternoon <nter ta'nment brought right to them, in stead of having to go to Augusta to see it. It is an important part of the big reert. tional program mapped out by Lieut. Col. Lee. and entrusted to Lieut. Millman as recreational of ficer for the me i of the School- “Take Care of Your Teeth and Your Dental Troubles Will Be Little Ones,” De clares Dental Surgeon Teeth Should be Cleaned Three Times a Day As Carefully As the Mess Kit is Cleaned—M assage of the Gums With Salt-Water Highly Beneficial and Refreshing—Den tal Surgeons in Army High Class and Render Best Attention It is hoped that all who have read the previous articles which have ap peared in the ‘ Trench and Camp” have started to take better care of the teeth and mouth than ever before. We have tried to show clearly the importance of cleanliness of the teeth in respect to the general physical condition and we repeat that NO MAN CAN BE AT HIS BEST IF HE HAS A BAD STOMACH AND IT IS A PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY TO HAVE A GOOD STOMACH IF THE TEETH ARE IN BAD SHAPE.

Excellent Numbers Were Rendered in Able Manner The third flfloor of the Sqldiers’ Club was completely filled on last Thursday night with soldiers and people of the community, who enjoyed the regular Thursday night concert, and the friendly and convivial intercourse afforded throughout these social gatherings. The first part of the program was given over to a song festival, conducted by Mr. Lee, musical director from “Y” hut 76, in which everyone present en gaged and sang the popular war songs from camp. Mr. Lee is a young man of splendid voice, who has a magnetic personality and knows how to make you sing in such away as to make you en tirely pleased with yourself. Mr. Mulherin. who was host for the evening, took the place of Private N. C. Bader on the program and sang two beautiful selections, which were greatly appreciated by the audience. Private Bader found it impossible at the last minute to leave camp. The. next number was given by Private Frank Ridge, who proved himself a real artist by the manner in which he sang three songs. Mr. Ridge sang one of the leads in the original company of “Her Soldier Boys.” He possesses a voice of unusual quality. The other numbers on the program were given t»y Private M<-Whinney and Mr. Lee, who each sang several selec tions. which were heartily appreciated by the audience. Both have splendid voices and are good entertainers. Espe cial erdedit is due Private J. K. Mc- Leod, the accompanist for the evening, who proved himself a musician of rare ability. He will appear on an early pro gram at these concerts for a piano se lection. One of the best features of these con certs is the social period before and af ter the program, which affords the best kind of an opportunity for acquiring a personal relationship with the boys from camp. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF THREE HANCOCK SOLDIERS IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Car Went Over Almost Per pendicular Embankment For About Twenty Feet. No One Hurt. A miraculous escape from serious In jury or death was experienced by three soldiers Sunday afternoon when a Max well touring car in which they were rid ing. and which one of them was driving, struck the. edge of a brick sand-trap on the side of the road just beyond Lom bard's bathing ]X»nd and fell down an al most perpendicular embankment for a distance of about twenty feet. The miraculous part is that the machine did not turn turtle. The wheels became embedded in the soil with the result, that the car clung to the embankment in al most direct opposition to the force of gravitation. The soldiers crawled out, little the worse for the accident.

Foreign Service Badges Numerous With the recent arrival of fifty-one non-commissioned officers of the* cavalry service, F. S. Regulars, Camp Hancock enjoys the distinction of being one of the few big camps in which cavalrymen are now serving. In these days of trench warfare the cavalry has not bad much opportunity to show its mettle, but any one who observes the men of this de tochment. noting their hardened muscles, bronzed faces and soldierly bearing, will realize that this ancient and honorable branch of the service has lost none of its splendid military qualities. These men have been attached to Head quarters Company No. 1. Equitation and transport Department. Specialists’School Machine Gun Training Centre, under the command of Lieut. Fagan to ser\e as instructors in equitation. The total of fifty one is made up of two sergeants and four corporals from each of the regular cavalry regiments now in this country, in cluding the Ist. sth. 7th.

He was engaged in the battle before Santiago in 1898. IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL FOR LT. MAC JOINES Popular Hancock Officer is Given Military Services Be fore Body is Carried to Depot for Shipment to Elkins, N. C. One of the most impressive military funerals ever held In Augusta was that of Lieut. Mac Joines at the R. E. Elliott funeral Home at 10:20 Tuesday morn ing, his death having occurred Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock at the Base hos pital. He was 31 years old. Not only in his unit—4th Company— was the lieutenant admired, but through out his battalion he was known and held in the highest regard His popularity was attested to Tuesday morning by the f(ACt that 22 officers, representing every company of his battalion, attended the funeral. In addition there was the Head quarters band to render the funeral march. A delegation of Augusta Shriners attended the services. The services were conducted by Rev. John S. Jenkins, pastor of St. John Meth odist church, in the chapel of the funeral home. After the services the body was carried to the union station for shipment to Elkins, N. C., the home of the lieu tenant's father. The hearse, draped with a large Am erican flag, followed the late lieutenant’s company in the. march to the depot. On either side of the hearse three officers, and following the hearse sixteen officers marched four abreast. The band led the funeral cortege. Lieutenant Joines’ home was at Ports mouth, (thio. He came to Hancock but a few weeks ago, but in that time he had made friends on every hand. Two large floral wreaths from, the officers and members of 4th Company entirely cov ered the casket. Quite a large num ber of civilians attended the funeral, and as the procession moved to the depot there was hardly a dry eye. Lieut. Ben Levy accompanied the body to Elkins. ALIEN SOLDIERS TO BECOME 0. S. CITIZENS Will Open Court at Hancock Wednesday, and Two Thous and or More Aliens Are to be Naturalized Judge Emory Speer arrived in Au gusta Tuesday afternoon, and on Wed nesday he will hold court at Camp Han cock for the purpose of conferring citizen ship upon 2,000 aliens. He will stop at The Lenwood while in the city. Just how long it will take to handle the naturalization papers of the Hancock sol diers is not known, but it will be re called that a few weeks ago more than 800 aliens of Camp Hancock were nat uralized in ene day. It is likely, though, that on this occasion it will be, necessary to hold court for the remainder of the week.

Commission Candidates Arrive in Camp to Complete Course Begun in Waco, Texas—Snappy Bunch Determined to Have a Company Full of Pep. ‘'Good-bye, MacArthur; Bello, Han cock!” So sang one hundred and six soldiers on their journey from Waco, Texas, to Augusta, Georgia. Those men had been candidates for commissions in the of ficers’ Training Camp at (’amp MacAr thur, Texas, and hist week they were brought to (’amp Hancock to complete their course of instruction In the machine gun camp. The majority of the men were sent to the training camp from the different regiments of the Seventh Di vision, a regular army division. Among them are numbers of cavalrymen, ar tillerymen and infantrymen, in addition to the former machine gunners. At Birmingham, Ala., on the trip to Camp Hancock, they were joined by fifty candidates from Camp Shelby, Mississip pi. Here at Hancock these men from Shelby have been united with the men from MacArthur to form the Fourteenth Company of the Officers' Training School. I Hiring the past week the 14th has been following no prescribed schedule, but have been policing up their camp and making it habitable. Thifi week, however, the real program is being carried out. The llth Company is down to business, and it. is going to make (he other companies hustle in order to follow its lead for it is a safe bet that the llth will lead. The men from Qamp MacArthur had "some” trip on the way over. Just before pulling out of the station at Waco. Candidates Little and Baldwin had a sad season when they took leave of “the girls gthey loft behind.” Hut they had apparently forgotten their sor rows by the time Texarkana was reached, for during the .iO-minul" stop at that city, In with Candidate Gam - brell tK; V we-- >..x*uy some ybung 1 .

At Pine Bluff, Arkansas, all the mon made acquaintances, but Candidate Be; t seemed to be the busiest giving his ad dress to the fair ones who were attracted by his magnetic personality! And Memphis! Will any of the men ever forget Memphis? We spent an en tire night there, and the men surely did have one ga-lorious time’ Many of us are going back to Memphis at our first opport unity. Candidate Zerphy Is one of the loudest in praise of Memphis, and Its attrac tions. While all had one fine time in Ten- The Fifth Year of the War The closing days of July and the first days of August are pregnant with his torical significance. Four years have passed since those days that witness ed the collapse of the so-called CON CERT OF EUROPE. We face the fifth year of the Great War. Some of the soil of France is still in the hands of the enemy. Belgium is overrun. Roumania is in servitude. Serbia is suffering in grim silence. Russia is—well, who knows what Rus sia is? The military autocracy still controls the German policies. Austria has re newed her alliance and allegiance to the "predatory Potsdam gang.” Bulga ria still does the bidding of the Prus s’fc?', bureaucrats. The Clown Prince pulls the strings and puppet Sultan responds. But— The fifth year of the Great War opens auspiciously for us and for our allies in spite of all this. This year may be the last. It will not—SHALL not—be the last if the war is not won. There is an element ;n the Great War far more potent and more per manent than the ruin that has been wrought, or even than the materia! re sources of our own great country and of the countries of our allies. It is more than the will to win—for who shall say that our allies are with out that? It is the will to win plus an enthusi asm for the right. It is more even than that—for it is the will to win plus an enthusiasm for the right and a holy hatred of the wrong. America’s entrance into the war has a moral influence that is not subordi nate even to the weight of her strength in men, money and material. There is such a thing as weariness in well doing. The hopes and fears of the years be fore America’s entrance into the world war took a tremendous toll of our al lies. What England and France and Italy suffered in the defense of what they knew to be the right may never be known. Their sacrifices may never be adequately appraised. But it is to their everlasting glory that they held grimly on, being willing to sacrifice all if need be. Loving the principles of truth and right so that one may die for those principles is a virtue that has canon ized martyrs and inspired succeeding generations. In the face of unconquer able odds the death-before-surrender spirit is the ideal of humanity. It was this spirit that gave to the world the , great names of Lieou Brussels and nessee's metropolis, Candidates Carey, Lane, Margerie, Gambrell, Mtxxre, Roland, Koch ami Dalrymple seemed to be more appreciative of the kindness shown them by certain of the residents of Memphis. In order to be identified, the last named candidate carried a large roll of paper around with him! At Birmingham, the next long stop, the men were royally treated by the Red Cross ladies, ami many of them treated to automoblie rides over the city. We were nearly all asleep when wo passed through Atlanta, but Candidate Caldwell wan wideawake ami managed to stay over until the next train camo through. It was a grand old trip, but after three days of train life, the men were glad to roach ('amp Hancock where they could sit. down to a meal and not have to eat “corned willie” and tomatoes. By now. nearly all the men have been down to Augusta, and many have already made friends there. Candidates Ford and Garvin, both of whom are Shrhiers. took in the Shrtner jubilee in Augusta last week. Their only complaint was that there was so much to oat that they made themselves sick. Candidate Garvin evidently found someone down there whom he likes real well, for he has been going back regularly ever since. The main topic under discussion in the 14th company last week, was the length of the course, of instruction. When we entered the (>. T. at Camp MacArthur we were told that It would l>e a three months’ course. After spending seven weeks there we were ordered to Camp Hancock, and the rumor is persistent that we are to be given fourt months sVderabk- discussion and cussing, for many of the men do not think they should have to take a six. months’ course. How ever, most of them have expressed ade terminatlon to see it through, no matter how long or stiff the course That is the kind of men who comprise the, 14th com pany. The machine gun company at the O. T. C. at Camp MacArthur, was famed for its pep and dash, and now, reinforced by sortie excellent men from (’amp Shelby, the same men are going to make the 14th company the snanpiest In the C. M. G. O. T. c. at Camn Hancock. “Hat. Heze.” A. D. D. t Antwerp. It was this spirit that made the name Belgium an inspiration for ! all time. It was this spirit that made the poet sing "In Belgium reigns a MAN.” But the approach of the fifth year ■ finds in us and in our allies none of this sublime resignation. i No longer is it a case of holding on. ; The historic cry, "They shall not . pass” is obsolete. It has served its pur pose. They did not pass. There is no negative note today. It is what WE SHALL do; not what THEY SHALL NOT. We that are allied in a common cause have the will to win. We shall win. Belgium is overrun. We shall re- „ store her. Roumania is in servitude. We shall set her free. Serbia is suffering. We shall heal her wounds. Russia is ? We shall save heT —from herself if need be. The military autocracy still controls the German policies. We shall crush that autocracy. Austria has renewed her alliance and allegiance to the "predatory Postdam 1 gang.” We shall eliminate the gang. Bulgaria still does the bidding of ! Prussia. We shall stop Prussia from giving any such bidding. The Clown Prince pulls the strings ■ and the puppet Sultan responds. We shall prepare a fine resort for Clowns and Puppets. We have no sympathy with that bla : tant Americanism which says, "We are , in it. The war is over!” We have the most profound respect . for the bravery and sustained fortitude of our allies. Civilization can never 1 repay the debt. But there are facts in the situation ‘ that cannot be gainsaid. We have gone to the succor of our allies at a time i when we can give the needed stimulus, when our optimism will minister to the morale of their armies, when our en- - thusiasm, our vim and—thank God!— our traditions, can have a tonic effect. i The fifth year of the war finds our 1 strength multiplying. We have just J begun to tap our resources. We are united in thought, word and action. I And what of the enemy? His strength is declining. His re sources are being conserved with a ! cruel cunning. In him there is unrest and we hea* the rumblings of disrup . lion. We face the fifth year of the Great 1] war with confidence! Headquarters C«.

Earl E. Smith and Lieut. Leo Kunnart of the Fifth Company. Major Rising spoke briefly on what was expected of a machine gunner, his duties while at training, how he should act while action on the battle field, also to ren.ember that he is a machine gunner and a machine gunner can he nothing other than the very best soldier in the service. Captain Killimett. spoke of how the men arrived at the camp, just from civilian life, men who were big factors in the business world, many making ten times the amount of money they now received. Still they came to Camp Hancock pre pared for anything and everything like a good soldier should do. How at first it was, as he could see, very monotonous for a good many while drilling, some times going over the very same thing a good many times in order to get the results as required by a good soldier. The next speaker of the evening was Lieutenant Smith, who spoke on the ef fects of gas, how to use your mask when at the front .and the quickness that is required in putting them on. Lieutenant Kunnart finished the sneak ing for the officers, ending up with a rousing good speech that was cheered loud enough almost to raise the mess hall rafters. Mess Sergeant Packard was next on th'* program, speaking about the eats and what cook had to do to feed such | a large body of men on a small allow ance a dav (cheeis). First Sergeant spoke of the duties •around the parade grounds and company streets and what was expected of a vrst sergeant. Company Clerk Daly responded next, speaking on allotments and the paper work of a company clerk, which was cheered a good many times during the speech. Corporal Hinckley made a good patri otic speech, filled with every ind’eation that the cm porat is sure bent on get ting the boche. Corporal Gadski was the next, speaker and was < hecred many times. The physi cal talk of the corporal seemed to strike the boys just tight. Sergeant Reelan was the next speaker called upon and he responded with a few well chosen words full of pep. Private Bass was the next speaker, giving his experience from the time he arrived at camp up to the present time, peaking in part as follows; When I first came into the army I did n >t care much for army life and did not pay much attention to what was being s: id but the first thing I knew the captain was right on the job and I (Continued on page two.)
