THE NATIONAL LUTHERAN COM MISSION FOR SOLDIERS’ AND SAILORS’ WELFARE 437 Fifth Ave., New York. “215,000 Men in Service.” AN APPRECIATION OF ; < THE GEORGIA SUNSETS : , t By a Chronic Northerner < E I have often loved to dream in “the ' days when the world was young.” aeons t and aeons ago, before the earth had cool- J ed and human life was ruled by reason when bracch iopods were in the making ! and the playful dinosaur!, roaming the I earth at. their own sweet will, left on the I sands the footprints that Time has I wrought into the record of unwritten his i tory. It has seemed that there must have been such worlds of romance, an unlimit ed scope for the imagination, in mere existence then- with all time in (lie fu ture and nothing in the past. The suns were so much brighter. the towering waves so much wilder, the storms so much more terrible, and life itself—or ganic life at any rate —was so much more abundant--too abundant. perhaps, to please our own super-civilized sensibili ties. I have felt us though the wild beautv of the Southland, with its verdant hills, its vast stretches of blazing white sand, its towering pines, has furnished an ap proach to. or at least a hint of, the wealth of Nature of those days. Certain ly the gods that rule the elements here de not do things by halves. When it rains, it rains; when the sun shines, it surely does shine; and the glory of that Southern sun. rising and setting, is un surpassed by anything L have ever wit , nessed. The unrestrained torrents, with the lightnings playing it would seem almost i within grasp, the passion of the setting sun empoemed in the dark masses of cloud, the graphic promise of that same* sun glorifying the morning sky, must 'stir the least aesthetic soul to wonder. II Nowhere have I seen such colors, no-I | where such delicate tracery—-the sea of I crimson that promises (mendaciously 11 enough) a fair day for the morrow, the ; gilded wisps that float serenely bv and j flaunt their puny brightness impertinent - ly In the faces of the slow, majestic, dark masses, the myraid mingled tints of palest green, orange, and clear blue, all wrought and interwoven in dainty fan tastic imagery: and finally the pure gold of the biasing orb itself, blended on the | ultra-cerulean of the clouds into the rich jest maroon, the hue that expresses hu ■tnan life so well--all the half-formed wishes. the vague out-reachings of the spirit towards God. mingled with the pas- 1 '•tons that bind the soul to clay—al! so 'beautifully, so forcefully portrayed in the embroidery of Nature, the wondrous ma jestic solar kaleidoscope By Regt.

HANCOCK GUNNERS MOUNT MACHINE GUN IN RECORD TIME Remarkable Demonstration Witnessed By Class of High Officers. Time of Seventeen Seconds Sets New Record. ... • That adaptability is the crowning quality of the American sogHera was il lustrated on the training field in front of the First Group Headquarters yester day before a class of Lieutenant-colonels and Majors assembled from camps throughout the United States, for a spe cial course in machine gun instruction Captain J. F. G. Smith, of the Brit ish Missiln, called upon three of his ad vanced American machine gun pupils to demonstrate the mounting of the gun be fore the newly formed class for officers. It was explained that forty seconds was alloted for this operation. The three men chosen for the work mounted the gun in just seventeen seconds—this be ing less than half of the time set by the staff of English officers in charge of in structing. The men taking the course under the English have nothing but the highest praise for their instructors, and the splendid results are only due tn the great consideration given them during the pe riod of training. Wig-Wags From the Signal Corps By Griggs. » Saturday was a busy day for the can teen at the foot of Signal avenue, for Saturday was payday. A day sorely needed and much appreciated. Come again.

A base ball game was held Wednesday afternoon between teams chosen from the Signal Corps. There proved to be some cracking material In out midst for the game was a good one. The team captained by Sgt. Ed. Green won by a score of to 4 over the t*iam headed by Pat. Campbell. Campbells out fit however, gave them a run for their money. Lieut.

This Walker's Club is tn ne started by a former officer of the American Walk er’s : ssocltlon, inc., the largest walk ers’ club m the United States, and one that bo;un« of branches in different cities of the United States. He and several of his fellow tentmißes being detailed at the Headquarters of the M. T. D. and missing the physical training and fine drilling they formerly received, thought it would be to their benefit to get out and take weekly hikes on Saturday or Sunday, when oft duty. They knew the vaj“e of retting out in the open country around the camp, and that ft would result in their filling their lungs with pure and invigorating air. through their veins and fill them with new life and vitality, thereby making them better men physically and men tally. It was thought that other soldiers In the var>us Headquarters who felt that they were not receiving sufficient exer cise wov.’<l be glad to accompany the walkers on their weekly hikes, and in order to further that eml, the idea of a wall ers club resulted. An Invitation is extended to all those, desiring to take part in the hikes, and any men who are interested can receive full Information as to the starting place, time, etc., by applying to Private Harry R. Hertzel, Headquarters Company, M. T. D.. M. G. T. C., Camp Hancock, Ga. MAY EAT MEAT ON FRIDAY Catholics in the army and navy are relieved from the obligation of abstain ing from flesh diet on Fridays with the exception of Good Friday, it was an nounced by the Bishop of Catholic Chaplains, Patrick J. Hayes, in order to remove misunderstanding that has arisen on the subject. MOTHERS’ DAY SERVICE AT WOODLAWN BAPTIST The coming Sunday is “Mothers’ Day" at the Woodlawn Baptist Sun day School, followed by sermon by pastor on ‘"rhe Mothers of the Bible.” All mothers in our church and congre gation, and any others in our commu nity, are urged to be present on “Moth ers’ Day,” especially the mothers with the little ones. Every boy and man will wear a flower in honor of "Moth er’: a red flower if she is living; a white one if she is not living. HOME HOSPITALITY FOR HANCOCK BOYS With the coming cooler weather and more settled conditions at Camp Han cock, it is hoped by the officials of the Augusta War Camp Community Ser vice that home entertainment of the men in the uniform may be stimulated into new life. The absence of many of the active hostesses from the city is partly responsible for the lull in this form of hospitality. Another draw bjxck. according to Mrs. A. H. Bren i ner, the chairman of the W. C. C. S., entertainment committee, is the diffi culty of obtaining domestic help. To measure of to the high standard that prevailed in this respect last season is admittedly a strenuous task. Reports from other camp communi ties where the W. C- C. S. operates in dicates that home hospitality is after all the ideal fomi of entertainr’ent for the men in military service. The boy from Maine who meets the boy from Calofirnia in a Southern home is con vinced of the unity of his country and that the nation is back of c.im when he goes up against Fritz and Heinie "over there. ” Nothing instills this conviction like being given access to the Ameri can home. It is the conviction that makes morale, and morale is 90 per cent in the formula for victory. "The idea should be giver up," says the sec retary of 'the local W. €* C. S. "that the soldier who accepts an invitation to a private home Is looking for a big ‘feed,’ though he enjoys that. What he wants is companionship and good fellowship. The solution of this prob lemof home hospitality in Augusta lies in providing more and more of the lat ter, while not of course neglecting the material side.” Plans for stimulating and promoting home entertainr’* nt are being followed 1 out. The purpose cf the Thursday and ' Saturday socials at the Soldiers’ Club, to which both soldiers and civilians j are admitted, is to enable the people of the city to meet the Camp Hancock men and invite them to their homes. Neighboring towns are also develop ing home entertainment. Sunday af ternoon, Harlem, Bath, Clearwater, and | Aiken, received as guests large num bers of men from the camp. The Pat riotic League of Aiken received sixty men. K. of C. Activities Anthony Bianco, one of the K. of C. secretaries, was called to the colors yes terday and left immediately for Phila delphia to entrain for some Northern Camp Mr. Bianco has been in the ser vice for over six months and has been looked upon as a live wire.

The weekly dance will take place this week in No. 2 building. Guests from the city will be present. Headquarter's jazz bond will furnish the music. A new aspect has been added to th* l K. of U. bouts because of the big fights hold at Warren Park, Lobor Day. The Labor Day bouts have given th* l bdxing great impetus.
