Sergt. Gail Goolmen acted stage manager, and introduced as the open ing act, Bock. Klein and Robison (the t ’re.e rookies) who as usual enter tained the audience in a lavish man ner. Their act proves conclusively t .at they well deserve the title of Camp Hancock's leading trio. Miss Renta . . the popula- so- prano of Augusta followed J Irvey delighted her audience bv sing ing “It’s a Long, Long Trail,” and scored a pronounced hit which was well appreciated. Al Raymond, the past master in en tertaining. rendered two popular se -1 ctlons with his usual snap and vim which brought forth terrific applause. Handman. Casey and Bulger. Camp Hancocks King of Mirth, Music and Songs, did their “bit” in their usual cl? ver manner. They responded with encores, until they exhausted their repertoire. Private Ely Siegel, late of the Gold en Seals, danced his way into the good graces of the audience Ben Goldberg, the company's favor ite, proved himself to be an enter tainer ‘‘De Luxe." Corporal Frank Smith, presented his breezy monologue and proved his capability as an extraordinary en tertainer.

G T. C. band, who played by courtesy of Capt. Stanley G. Blanton the company com mander. Joseph Marra, Leonard Jo seph, Dave Schwartz and John Gomes, thrilled the audience from the begin ning to the ending of the program with popular and classical selections, and are firmly established as the best orchestra over gathered at Camp Hancock. Their services are in such demand that these splendid musicians have been unable to fill the allotted dates made <.* them. They well de serve the praise showered on them, i not only in camp but throughout the I city. Among those present were Cant, i Louis A. Bacon, the commanding '- , fleer of the company; Lieuts.

Corps, Engineers, Medl > caj Corps, and Quartermasters Corps are represented. A few of the candidates have also seen service in the Navy and , the Marines. A number of the men have , seen service in Mexico and the Philip pine Islands. They come from nearly all the professions and trades of civilian life. Now. gathered together in one or ; i.anization, the 14th Company has become one of the most, homogeneous, smooth I working, organizations in the camp. i _ The past week has been a busy one. The schedule of drill and study' has been faithfully carried out, and the men have been working in earnest. Early in the week a representative of th** war dc i partment from Washington was in camp and made a very interesting and instrue i tive talk to the 14th and other companies i of officers’ Training School, explaining I in detail the ‘‘Rating System” as now , used in the Army. Thursday and Friday* . there w a Battalion Drill, and Saturday inspection and examination in the small arms firing manual. rhursda.v night just before study pe- I riod, candidate Clendenning spoke to the men in regard to giving a dance and banquet at an early date, and they were unanimous in favor of doing so. A com mittee composed of candidates Clenden ning. Lynch. Corbley. Garvin and Dabry uple was appointed to arrange for the • place, music and other necessary* mat ters. It was decided to give the dan- e > two weeks from either Friday or Sat i urday night. When the 11th Company undertakes to do a thing, the men nut their “al!” into it and it is bound to be a success. The Company* is behind the dance and ban quet. and it is going “over the top” < f things socially in and around Augusta and Camp Hancock. There is going to be a hot. time in the old town on the night of the lith's ball. A baseball team has been organized, and it is open to challenges. The team is composed of some excellent, college and former semi-professional players. There is no sweeter music to the sports man than the crack of the hat. against - the ball, and in their daily practice the players are sharpening up their batting . eyes, speeding up on the bases, and , quickening their fielding far ’ties. Altho ; late in getting st a. ted the players expect , to have a successful season. Considerable interest is also being taken In wrestling and boxing. One candidate ’ is considering entering the boxing tour naments. Wednesday night two irn prnmtu. but interesting wrestling mat ] chos were pulled off ( In the first, candidates Schneider and I f’arlco engaged in a lively bout. After about 10 minutes of gruelling work I Schneider succeeded in pinning his op , i ponent’s shoulders to the mat. I This was followed by a lively but rather unscientific match between can- I didates Ford and Kyler. Candidate Ford gamed the decision with a hold probably . unknown to the late Frank Got ch. great est of all wrestlers, but which he used to advantage. Ford calls it his “Bum./ ( Hug” hold, and candidate Kyler avows that it is a successful one. Apollo was fortunate in having an or ach- at Delphi who could answer al! questions put to it. But. the renowned Apollo had nothing on the 14th Company, i ~r, no matter how puzzling the question there : a;- oracle in the organization who ran give the solution. Candidate Tea j gue. In looking for advertising subject mat ter to boost their article, the manufac turers of Herpicide have overlooked two good bets. Candidates Koch and Janacek • have two good craniums on which Her picide could work to advantage. For some unknown reason Candidate Moore has failed to take advantage of his off hours to go into Augusta. Perhaps he hasn't felt strong enough to survive a ride on an Augusta street car. Conse quently he has been spending his spare time writing tn some one In Waco, Tex. Candidate Christie approves < f the is sue hat in preference to the Stetson. He says he edn use his issue hat as a tent and not be crowded. Candidates Caldwell and Garvin have discovered a better rnehod to awaken sol diers than by means of the bugle They have put their method into actual oper ation in Tent No. 7, with glorious results.

Numerous Infirmaries. Health and Com fort Foremost Thought. Makes and Keeps Fighters Fit By Chastain. One of the main reasons why mother dreads to sec Johnnie leave home is be cause she is airaid that he will get sick while soldiering q.nd that no <>ne will be there to give him hot lemonade and administer the health-restoring mustard plaster and biHers. If our hoys’ mothers could really know how well their boys are looked after and if they could know how careful their Uncle Sam is of his nephews’ health many who now spend sleepless nights wondering whether Johnnie will eCer pull through the hardships of this awful war would add a postscript to their prayers thanking kind Providence for giving their sons a chance to be made fit and to be kept fit. There is no doubt but that the average boy will come home in much better shape than lie left it and much of mother’s anxiety on this score is wasted. Besides the ujuial infirmaries, our camp is furnished with one of the 1 most efficient Base Hospitals io be I found in any camp. A trip to the Base Hospital is almost worth getting sick I for and certainly those who have had ■ no opportunity to see this plant should I seize the first chance presented. No ; private home could afford the care of I a soldier as docs this plant and al- | though it is not the most cheerful ! thing in the world to be sick away from home yet the care that is given by the personnel of the Medical De partment is far ahead of that which could be had in the home of the aver age soldier even if it were possible or I even practical for them to be cared for at home. It is a patent, fact that on the surgical staff of our hospital force : may be found some of the most noted surgeons in the United States and t his is equally true of the other members J of the Medical Staff. Only graduate nurses are employed I and many of the soldiers serving as i; ward attendants are second and third jj year medical students. Every care is L taken to see that the food given the i patients is of the best and that it shall ; ; be properly prepared. The wards are j* clean, airy, and cool, and most of them • j are provided with screened porches , where those that are able to do so may j sit and enjoy the outside air. The big ■ rest room for convalescents is decided- j ly the most attractive building in the i camp. Here entertainments arc given for patients that are able to leave the wards and attend them. Movies, vau deville and lectures are given during the week and on Sunday services are held in the Red Cross Rest Room, as well as in most of the wards. Sta- , tionery, games and reading matter is also provided by the Red Cross and the • “Y,” representatives of each of which organizations are stationed in the bos- • pital. In many of the wards there is i a Victrola and merry groups gather I i around these and share their smokes < and swap yarns. If mother at home could see what is • done for Johnnie when he is sick she’d feel a lot better about having him ‘ away from home.

Page Inspires Audience With Enthusiasm At Patriotic Rally Traces Beginning of War; Re views Pre-War Conditions Showing Terror Under Which the Nations of Europe Lived Because of the Evils of Prus sian Militarism; Sounds Note of Warning to American Sol diers; the Role of America in This War An audience fired with enthusiasm filled the Y. M. A. 76 to capacity at the patriotic rally on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the war between the Entente govmnmenes and the Cen tral Powers, on Sunday last, to listen to ('aplain 11. Page, who spoke on the "Uause and Inevitable Outcome of the War.” With remarkable lucidness and in a judicious manner bearing (lie imprint of scholarly and historic accuracy, Captain Page traced the beginning of this, the greatest struggle in the historj of man kind. In his review nf pre-war conditions, when tile whole of Europe wakept in a state of constant terror by the ever-in ereasing evils of rapacious Prussian mili tarism, which threw tin* world into the maelstrom of blood and f.Te, he exhibited a rare knowledge of nternational af fairs. •'There can be no possible verdict other than ’guilty,’ ’’ lie said. “The historic crime of this war." he continued, “which lias brought in its wake untold misery to the human race; which has converted the whole of Europe to one vast sea of blood; which has trampled under foot gallant Belgium; which has ('rushed the life out of heroic Soring; and which has turned the peace-loving Republic of France into a heroic fortress surrounded with grave yards.—this historic crime will fall upon the beads of the Hohenz.ollerns to their everlasting disgrace. “Hut history Is already handing out its verdict. With America's entrance into , the war the ultimate triumph of the En tente is assured. Never again will rapa cious militarism raise its u. ly head. Our participation in fills war was inevi table; because, as the war went on, it. became evident that this was a struggle of world democracy for justice and the freedom of all peoples against the cursed autocracy and aggressive military domi nation of 1 'russianism. Our motives are unselfish and Germany knows it but too I well. For our only purpose in this war | is as mir great president nobly defined it, ‘'l’o make this world a decent place tn . live in,' that such historic ( rime may not occur again. We are animated by this humane idea and will be guided by it till the very end of the struggle. “And when I speak of our part in this war I want tn sound a note of warning, or better, advice, to gut boys destined to go ‘over there.’ Dn not tell the French People that we are cornhig set tle it all for them. The heroic French p< opje have in the long drawn tragedv of four years of war stemmed the tide of the savage onslaught of the Prussian herds-.

I knew the French I people. I have lived with them. Their extreme sensitive feelings will be hurt jby It. We are prepared to do what God has given ns to do, and we ARE going J to do it Nothing will deter us from our task. Stupid, blood-crazed Prussia en k deavored to control our thoughts by pour ' ing in gold to stir up intrigues. How pitifully little does she understand the J idealism of the American people. Let us. then, pay our debt to mir sister re » public, the imperishable France, with modesty. . “One thing more: It is not only neces | spry for us to know how to fight: splen did and valiant examples of our fighting ■ spirit has already been shown. But wo must also know why and what we are i fighting for. We must, lift ourselves up ’ emotionally to the ennobling ideas by , which we are guided in this struggle for liberty, equality atut justice, which Is to be' meted out. to all peoples, great and .-.mail.” The entire audience, composed almost exclusively of soldiers, went into a frenzy of enthusiasm and the applause lusted several minutes when the captain ■ closed his remarks. , The meeting was presided over by Mr, <L E.

I ENGLISH CLASSES ;l CONDUCTED FOR ALIEN SOLDIERS America has well been called the “Melting Pot of the World.” Into this ; vast, seething' caldron of humanity , ‘ has been poured the races of the en- II tire world. From tho frozen fastness es of Siberia to the sunny slopes of ■ Spain and from "Greenland's icy mountains” to the sun-kissed islands 1 of the Pacific, they have come, bring ing with them their ideals, and their accomplishments, all seeking the won • derful Land of Opportunity. I Out of this fusion of the races has ■ come this wonderful cosmopolitan America of ours, simulating all coun- 1 j tries in some respects. but withal j { standing out as a country different from any other under the sun. With the Italian came his inherent love of J the beau)tiful. with the Welshman came the ability to sing; the sturdy Scot brought with him his tenacity of purpose while the Jews’ contribution was his wonderful business acumen. All of them combined to make i America what it is today, tho country of countries. The transformation of these strang i ers to our shores was not the work of an instant, however. No alchemist's touch made them into Americans in a single day or week or year, it was a. gradual transition and today finds America busier than ever in her gi gantic task of making citizens and soldiers from the forclg-speaking im migrants. The present war served to bring out the fact th; t \vhilo there are millions who had been made into good law ; abiding American citizens, th re was i within out gates a great horde of neo ' pie who had been in the country but |a. short time and who. although they ! were embryonic Americans, were not yet sufficiently educated to be called citizens. Along with millions of oth ers, they were drafted at the call to arms of Americans and the army re ceived them, but due. to their lack of English could not use them.

Neither is it the bill of fare for a ban quet of Pittsburgh Steelmen, but merely shows vou what the Seventeenth Com pany. Machine Gun Training Camp, had for their banquet, Saturday evening, Au gust 3rd. Ordinarily, Mess Sergeant La Mountt takes second place to few, but had a vote been taken among the seventeenth, | after the banquet was over, he would have been unanimously elected the best in the American Army. In the good work he was ably assisted by Cooks Smith and . Christi. A* the head of the table sat the officers of the company Capt. Kelly, Lt. Drake, Lt. Husman. Among the guests were a large number of ladies from Augusta, who 1 not only graced the banquet board with their presence, but added to the evening’s enjoyment with their talent. Miss Beryl P.rendnburg and M’.ss Gretchen Bren denburg were especially pleasing and were forced to respond to numerous en cores. Lt. Gusman gave a masterly rendi tion of Tennyson’s immortal “Charge of 'he Light Brigade", while Sergeant Rein hold closed the program by reciting the “Shooting of Dan McGrew." After sing ing the Star Spangled Benner, the ban queters adjourned. The men in charge of the evening de serve a great deal of credit, not only for the manner in which the dinner was .served but for the decorations, the pro gram, and for the splendid spirit of good fellowship which per. eated the hall.

Khaki-clad boys of the Specialists Schools, M.G.T.C., jammed "Y” 77 to ca pacity early Saturday afternoon when, the third week-end vaudeville show was presented by star entertainers from Au gusta theatres. Special importance was added to the occasion by the preence of ' 'ol. E. G. Ovenshine, the new command ant of the Specialists School, It having been his first appearance at a massed affair of the organization. Lieut.-Col.l Lee, former commandant, sat with Col.i Ovenshine in the first row of seats. (’rovvded with pep, the show was un doubtedly the best yet. There were many features that stood out prominently, and’ among those was the debut of Lieut. Al bert A. Millman as an actor in these Sat urday afternoon programs. He displayed genuine histrionic ability and it was' suspected that this was not the first time he worked behind the footlights. As customary, the various companies were formed after noon mess and march-', od to the Y. M. C. A. building. Men, had the option of not attending, but very, few failed to go. The first act went on a little after 1 o’clock, and from then on’ till the national anthem closed the pro-, grom there was something worth while doing every moment. ('he soldiers considered themselves very, fortunate in having the privilege of Wit-, nessing such an interesting bill, and on, every hand there was warm praise for Lieut. Milliman, director of entertain-; ments. He modestly asserted that the real credit belonged to the performers for, their kindness in coming to entertain the members of the Specialists School. • apt.

Every act got by big, and there was generous applause, prac tically all of it being spontaneous. A one-art playlet—this being the one in which Lieut. Millman appeared—was a strong feature. This was "The Job,” which was written by Edword P. Ms- Namee. The act is strongly dramatic at times, but was sparkled with plenty of comedy to relieve any tension. This was put on by William Stuart and Dor-' othyl Dahl, both accomplished artists. . Stuart has the role of a police lieu tenant, the scene<ebeing in the matron's morn of a New York police station. Miss J >ahl represents the big-hearted but un cultured young girl who endeavors to be come pmice matron so she can e-arn enough money to support her sick mother.

The (Continued on Page Nine) To Keep in Physical Trim the Soldier Must Care For His Teeth With the Same Degree of Care He Uses in Caring for Any Part of His Equipment. Dental Corps of Able Men Anxious to Serve in Every Way Possible < . 5 Since the first of these articles on the care of the teeth started thousands of new men have come to Camp • Hancock so we will review some of the lessons. You are in the army with the desire to give your country the best you have, in you and with bad teeth that is im-i possible, for bad teeth cause bad stomachs* and no man can be at his best If his stomach is out of order. You may say "my teeth are not very good but oher-' wise Pm fit." Only to-day I was called, on the phone to send a Dental Surgeon o a quarlntined tent where a man was suffering from a abscessed topth. When we talked to him and examined him wa I found that while he though he was “fit” that without warning he was rendered inefficient. He had been advised by the dentist to have this tooth extracted butt refused, saying that It wasn’t bothering; him any. He failed to understand that the Dental Surgeon In the army doesn’t “pull" teeth for pleasure but for the i good of the patient. If he had realized, that when he was examined the first time he would have been spared, as he told me, two days and nights of agony, before we were called to relieve him. I know from his experience that he will, act differently next time. When your turn comes to visit one of the dental Infirmaries don’t be afrain, for every dentist in this camp is doing the best he can to give you the best and painless dentistry. If you’ll follow, our advice you won’t have to come at ail unless decay of your teeth has gotten too big i start. The following instructions if followed closely will prevent too th troubles from getting worse: You wash your “mess equipment" af ter every meal and your hands no doubt are washed even oftener. Your teeth, should receive the same attention as they handle all the food that goes to nourish your body. Your hands and face of course are visible so personal pride makes t take care of them.
