SSI HIKING SONGS TOUTED KHAKI GLAD Battalions Take Time Out From Field Drill to Learn How to Sing While on the March. Songs With Good Swing and Rhythm Chosen to Work With. Plans Endorsed by Highest Military Authori ties on Training MEN DISPLAY READINESS AND GREAT SPIRIT "If they can fight like they can sing, tfie kaiser s scalp's not worth a ding." remarked a disinterested observer who chanced to witness a real military song drill being put across in one of the Y huts. here they were, some eight or nine hundred men, in fact a battalion, with a lusty gusto that shook the build ing, singing into their soldier make-up a morale that will not stop this side of Berlin. Singing, then whistling, marking time, following carefully the directions of | the perspiring song master, all n remark able unison, typical of the team work | and harmonious action of Uncle Sam's I fighting men. these companies <;f war riors gave some sort of an idea of the strength of purpose back of e»;ry pow ers u 4» note. A singing army lias never been defeat ed and the authorities on training, real izing the vast importance of this invinci ble element called morale in the com pounding of an army, are taking advan tage of every possible meansto make America's great armies «not. only fit to fight but unconquerable. Throughout all the training camps hiking songs and the general rhythm of marching .songs are being taught. « The songs are usually of a popular nature, chosen for their irre sistible swing of the music and their adaptability to all kinds of mixed voices. No song is chosen on the strength of a possibility that some day the words will be placed in the catalogue of classic lyrics whose literary perfection Is unquestioned. "Good-bye, Pa; good-bye. ma. good-bye mule with your old hee-haw. I may not know what the war's about, but by gosh I’ll soon find out. Good-bye. sweetheart, never fear. I'll bring you a king for a souvenir; I'll bring you a Turk and the kaiser, too. And what more can a fel low do?" is sung with a spirit that makes certain the man means every word about bringing home a vutmy, cvni though f dignified and not at all in the. high-brow class, to say the least.

The time is coining when all Mess Officers will have to answer why the men are wasting food found in garbage cans. And the question arises, why are you wasting the first you are receiving. Tn this country there has been a ten dency to waste food as well as other things. It rquires consercration to over come this habit. We have, got Lo get our men out of that habit. * We have a school for cooks and bakers. I but they can’t accomplish everything, though they have done a great work.

I HANCOCK HEALTHIEST | CAMP IN THE COUNTRY I —— I The fact that Camp Hancock leads all i army camps in the United States in the matttr of health and had the lowest death rate during the past six months is revealed in the semi-annual report of the chief of the division of sanitation to the surgeon general of the army. The report shows that the percentage of pneumonia during the six-months perio was lower than at : ny other camp and ' it also ranked among the lowest as to dysentery, measles, meingitis and scar let fever, while the general .average, as stated above was the lowest in the coun try. Hancock's death rate for the slx month period was 2.26, the lowest in tie country. This splendid health record for Camp Hancock will no doubt attract wide spread attention, and will be an ar gument in favor of Augusta as a health resort, a reputation which it has enjoyed for many years.

A WORD TO THE NEWS GATHERERS Every one is awaare of the fact that the newspaper is the best medium through ; which the entire world becomes acquaint ed -learning of the daily happenings of the four corners of the earth. A weekly paper is likened unto a preacher wwho . endeavors to attract his hearers each Sunday, instilling their minds and hearts < with the more modern ideas of the old time religion, but on a much larger scale. One church probably has five hundred or more listeners tn its audience on the Sab bath daw, while the newspaper will carry the news o' Hie world, in various forms, to thousands, or hundreds of thousands of readers who want to know the current events from hour to hour and from day in 1 day, besides gaining a wider and broader view of the life of the other half of this great universe. ' ewspapers. as a rule, are not only dis tributed locally, but cast abroad, and its influence is felt wherever transportation is available. Now then, in order that facts might be obtained, there must he a real source for news gatherings. At Camp Hancock there is evidently a large number of good writers, men of wide newspaper exper ience-men who know the value and de velopment of a weekly paper. These are the men. and others of literary ability, whom the Trench and Camp would like to have co-operate in o i eport or ial way. A suggestion is made that the com - m ..ding officers of each company des ignate men with ability to write say two or three, or more, to act as company re porters from wee kto week. One man can work as editor for the entire company, [ while, with the help of a few others, much newsy material can be gotten with very litlle effort. This can easily bo accom plished when once the names of the men are well known. persnnals. poetry, cartoons and lie true ..0.l re-al the litre of war. written by the soldier, for the ben efit of the soldier and for the folks at home, is what is desired. All writings for the First Group (com panies One to Twelve) and th" Third Group (companies Twenty-five to Thirty si. \o. including Headquarters company should be sent to Y. M. C. 232 and dropped in the red box located over the desk. Companies Thirteen to Twenty, four of the Second Group may give news to i. AL C A. 76, which is their nearest meeting place.

The date of print ing is Tuesday. With the co-operation of (he officers and non-coms and the privates, Trench and ('amp at Camp Hancock can bo made the largest and newsiest sheet of its kind on America. With your help the folks at home will learn to know that the men in uniform are doing a heap more than drill mg in the hot. sun fro mday to day.

Headquarters’ Band played, and there were singers and other entertainers. Al together, it was a big night for the Spe cialists School. Battle Royal. Most thrilling of all was a battle royal staged by nine negroes from the corral. They furnished as lively an entertainment as one couuld desire. So exciting did it become that the spent atom <roso from their seats and cheered wildly. The win ner was the recipient of a two days’ pass, with spending money, and he cer tainly earned the reward. The sons of ebony, each wearing box ing gloves, were put into the ring ami told to go to it. They were a little bashful in starting, but after they finally got under way there was something doing all the time. !<• was a spectacle well worth witness ing. As a climax to the carnival, it would be 1 .Ird to beat. There was no doubt everyone in the crowd thoroughly enjoyed this part of the entertainment. Bouts Exciting. Something not on the program ran a close second to the battle royal. This was a bout between ; h usky fighter, who lay down in the bout .riginally sehed- I uled, and a. little fellow from the aud ience who volunteered to s< ia.p with him. The little man made the big soldier put up a stiff battle, and there was a thr'.ll almost every moment. The judges de clared the volunteer fighter the winner because of the cliff ere.* e in Weight.

He has sac rificed the comforts of home and given up his business in order to do 1 s bit for our country in this time of press ing need. Under such circumstances it is only logical to realize that ho is giving tho. best service he can. i hear th epatients say at times that they have not been treated right because the uentist advised and want t ed to do for him what he considered unnecessary or uncalled for. A man making such a remark fails to consider that the deitist has spent years of his life to prepare himself to . advise aml treat the mouth ard teeth ami that tho average man gives little or no time I the care of this part of his body until dental trouble comes, at which time he assumes thal. he is competent lo say what shall h; done to relievo the condition.

At tho present time we ar ©compelled to ex . tract large numbers of teeth which could be saved for service. Nature has a very positive way of warning us of trouble to came.

For the ’ sake of illustration let. us t; ke our . mess kit tilled with the various artl -1 cles of food issued at a meal. We take a portion from the plate and roll ’ it in our hands into a bolus or ball, which is just what the teeth and longue do with it in the mouth. After doing this I am sure that the first thing you would be prompted to do is to clean the hands.

PARTY Many Guests Present Including Former Members of the Com pany and Lady Friends of tho Men It was a real reunion of old com rades. The mess hall fairly rang with joy and laughter and music. Among those who were there were former Top Sergeant Haymond Mitton and Ser geants Schifficld, Moore and Kaiser man, who are attached to the Special School of the Third Regiment. There were many guests present, among whom were Captain Carnduff, and Mrs. Otto J.. Kampschaefer, wife of the commanding officer, and a whole host of Southern Helles, all of whom, with one exception, appeared to be Ser geant Jack Minkowsky’s friends. The exception referred to was that of a beautiful actress from New York, who seemed especially to know L’eut. L. C. Guenthier, and hq was very attentive to make the evening a pleasant one for her. So it is presumed that she was his guest. Notwithstanding Sergeant Minkow sky’s varied popularity. Top Sergeant C. L. Olson was voted the most popu lar sergeant in Camp Hancock, for he was able to monopolize the attention of the same girl througho it the afternoon and evening. It was conceded that it requires a better soldier successfully to guard one hea t with many entrances than to force a temporary entrance’to any number of hearts with even only one entrance. Th' entertainment was begun with a generous dinner, rai ging from olives, celery, baked pork, and all that, to Georgia punch, with no emphasis on tho punch, which had been prepared by Cooks H. A. Sawyer, Gus Moshes, 6. i M. Kedig, and Hector Belanger, super > vised by Mess Sergeant j arski. Under the direction of Sergeant Minkowski, the girls were placed along the table at every other plate, and the b.-.vs who spent most time shining their shoes and trying to make the peg in their breeches- stand out, arrived only to find the places between the girls occupied by the loss fastidious.* They immediately fell in at the plates in front of tho girls, consoling themselves ”’ith the statement that they had rath er sit in front of the women, so that they could look them over. The other toys, however, oontende that they preferred to sit beside tho girls. They did not give the reason or rea sons for their preferences. Immediately the dishes wore cleared away, the tables were hastily stacked against one side of the mess hall. Then the boys and girls began the glide down the long hall, beneath the flags and crepe and green pines, the artistic work of Sergeant Pierkarski and Private Robert Parks, to the sv-j n g of the jazz music furnished by the L.vision Head quarters Company Orchestra.

WEISGAL 63rd Company, M. T. D. Out of the maelstrom of this cosmic fury; from the stenches of belching, black-throated cannon will emerge a new world founded on social justice, equality of opportunity for all men. and self determination of all nations, great and small. These are the fundamental prin ciples which have become paramount, in the midst of the tragedies of the war. Whatever else might be said of the causes that have brought about this uni versal struggle, two tilings i ust be clear to every political thinker of weight: that this is not so much a war between the ( 'mitral Bowers and the Entente as it. is a conflict between two opposed and irre concilable theories of life. On the one hand wo have the Allied Powers animated by the idea of democracy ami the free dom and self-determination of the na tions as against the Germanic theory of autocracy and the subjection of the smaller nations. This Is. the undoubted political trend of this war. More than this; The war is clearly making for a new union of na tions, great ami small. It is setting up a* new interpretation as well as a new' standard of nationality, giving a new stimulus to the moral principles which go to the making of nationality. In fact, | ties Intensive nationalism manifested it re’f among all the peoples of Europe ong before the war. The desire for na tional self-assertion is deeply imbedded in every people, no matter under what adverse circumstances it may live. •‘Na tionality, like democracy.” says the great American statesman.

A jazz band, which included several perform ers laniiliar to those who used to attend the supply school aftairs, started off with some peppy music. Private Kerkin of Company D, whose tenor is one of the standby drawing cards, followed with Oley Hpeaks' "Your Smile," and encored with "in an Old-Fashioned Town.” Pri vate Hobson, also of Company D, con tributed some fiddle juggling, during which he played a certain familiar jig with his violin in eight or ten different positions. His second offerng was a, Swedish version of Barbara Freitchie, which must have made the respected au thor of that well known poem turn in his grave.
