“215,000 Men In The Service”
J. W. B. ACTIVITIES
The past week has been one of great
activity for the .Jewish Welfare Board.
As said some time ago the ideal has
been to have something doing all the
time, and a near approximation to that
state can now be seen.
Last Wednesday night a big entertain
ment and smoker was the feature. Tal
ent was present in numbers extraordi
nary. and not only was present but came
forward when the call far amateurs went
forward.
Violin solo, song numbers, recitation,
and more singing was the order of the
program. The Jewish Welfare Board
wants to take this opportunity to thank
the many men who volunteered to make
; the evening a happy one. Come again
• and be welcome.
i On Saturday evening the Suoeoth re
| liglous services took place. A large
crowd was in the building as Rabbi Spitz
opened the services. Be later gave the
significance of the Succoth celebration
and showed how necessary it was that
every Jew give his all for the cause of ;
J Democracy.
Following the sermon refreshments '
j • were served by the ladies from Augusta. !
Following is this coming weeks’ pro- j
I j gram:
i Tuesday evening—Lecture by Dr. Co
bern of the Y. M C. A. at S o’clock.
Dance at Lenwood Hotel.
Wednesday evening—Yiddish entertain
ment.
Thursday evening -Dance, Welfare Hall
in \ugusta.
Friday evening Services.
Saturday evening Simchns Torah ser
vices.
Sunday afternoon —Entertainment in
Augusta. Ellis Street synagogue.
Some Gum!
Paris.—Tn just two weeks—from
July 17 to July 31 to be exact—SO.OOV
packages of American c hewing gum
were dispensed by one Y. M. C. A.
canteen In France.
A. F. Shepard, of Satfle. Wash.,
who is in charge of the canteen says
that if the wagging jaws of the gum
chewers of the American army In
France could be turned into propelling
power for projectiles the allies could
equip any number of guns of long
range to drop shells into Berlin.
When the 50,000 packages of gum
| were received by Mr. Shepard he con
i sidered it an overshipment and pro
i tested that he could not get rid of
I such an immense quantity. But it
| was all gone in two weeks and the
soldiers are now pleading for more.

I Spirited Boxing Program at K.
of C. Arena.
■ Soldiers numbering thousands were
I again treated to an excellent program of
■wrestling and boxing at K. of Main
Building, Wrights Miro Road, on last
Thursday night, the program being ar
ranged by Acting General Secretary Ar
thur A. McGuigan, who is indebted to
those mentioned below for their kind as
sistance in careying out the program.
Korish Wins Easy Match With Krlszunas.
The first number was a wrestling match
between Korlch of the Mounted Military
Police and Krlszunas of t’ <> Cooks’ and
Bakers’ School, Korish easily winning
Die first two falls in less than two min
utes each. This man is a clever wrestler
and is slated to be matched again at
the K. of arena.
Esterman Forced to Quit With Swatelo.
This bout brought together John Swat
< lo of the Ambulance Company and Her
man Esterman of the Sixty-fourth Com
pany. Both of these men are clever box
ers and heel the interest of the crowd,
however, it was necessary to call the bout
at the end of the second round on ac
count of the fact that an old cut was
opened on Esterman’;- head, causing him
to bleed frofusely. The judges awarded
the decision to Swatelo which met with
the approval of the crowd.
Young Goldie and Dan Peterson in Fight.
Young Goldie and Dan Peterson, both’of
the Sixty-fourth Company, next Went on
.for four rounds, and this uroved the star
bout of the evening. Both men were ag
gressive, clever and quick. The bout was
full of action and for the first three
rounds it was impossible to pick the
winner, but. in the last round Peterson’s
persistence in trying for an uppercut. was
awarded and he connected with Goldie’s
jaw, flooring his ligher opponent and
winning the decisio.
Kid Beebe and Bobby Greer Display
Cleverness.
In a three-round, pretty exhibition be
tween these two boxers of not' 1 . the spec
tators were treated to some clever foot
work and fast punches by both boys,
they being so evenly matched that, the
result was clearly a draw.
Matt Wells and Kid Brady.
Matt Wells of New Orleans, old time
favorite, and one. of the cleverest, light
weights in camp, made his appearance
against Kid Brady. The latter was
clearly out. of condition, and boxed in
place of Phil Virglts, who did not. ap
pear. He could not stand up against
the fast New Orleans whirlwind, and it
was necessary to call the bout at the end
of the first round. This terminated the
nights program, which was necessarily
short on account of the fact that two
bouts were called off because of the par
ticipants having been inoculated. For
military reasons. Jack Williams was un
able to meet Eddie Bartlett <»f the Offi
cers* Training Camp, hut this bout will
take place on next Thursday night.
THE BUGLER
Dedicated* to Sergeant Irving Berlin,
Camp Upton, N. Y.
Our camp life here is tiresome
At times you must admit,
But the cause we’re fighting for is
Just,
And each must do his bit.
The General, the Colonel, the Major,
And the rest must do their bit, like
soldiers— *,
When comes the final test.
The Captain, Lieutenant, Sergeant,
Corporal, too.
All stand for pne when all is done.
And that’s Red, White and Blue.
Now I’ve spoken of the greater lights,
But one I’ve quite forgot
It’s the Bugler, who you'll find
Is always Johnnie on the spot.
He rises In the morning when all the
camp sterns dead.
And blows first-call, both loud and
long,
To get the big Bums out of bed.
They’re writing songs about him
And about his only “Pard.”
The I’up that wakes the Bugler up.
The Corporal of the Guard.
Now the Bugler’s only human
And has feeling like the rest;
Just carries out his orders
And tries to do his best.
But I know in time to come
If they don’t find it out before,
Everyone will love the Bugler
When .he blows Recall from War.

A Fool's Paradise
(By Uncle Walt.)
The German people live in Jiope, because
they’re fed on faked up dope.
The public prints don't dare to tell.
That battles are not going well.
A Germany army meets defeat.
And pulls a panicy retreat.
About a million Huns are slain,
And stacked to mildew in the rain.
Odsfish? we cry, the startled Tents
Will shrivel now, you be!, your boots.
When they have heard of this defeat.
And see their armies can be beat,
They’ll shed all kinds of scalding brine,
And doubtless will take hl their sign.
Alas they don’t hear the news.
And so escape a siege of blues.
The war lords call the printers in.
And say “Announce that we will win.
Os course we dropped our guns and ran.
But that was Lundenhindens plan.
A masterstroke of strategy.
As all of you will later see.
Go, print a lot of cheerful bunk,
And if you hint the luck is punk,
We’l back you up against a shed.
And drill you with a ton of lead.
The printers then get out their sheets.
And make big triumphs of defeats.
The people read, and say, G Whiz"’
How wonderful our army is.
Our Kaiser undefeated dwells,
And Hindendorf is wearing bells.
Some day the tents are bound to wake,
And see how they’ve been fed on fake.
How they've been made a Kaisr joke.
And then perhaps there’ll be some
smoke.

Enforcing military reftaiauons vigorous

His eagle eyes you can't escape,
For he'll catch you if orders you'll try
to violate.
If perchance you’ll pass him and “but

Then button up that button, or you’ll
be S. O. I a
Jitneys must their licenses display,
Traffic to troops must give right of

Uniforms, passes he’ll closely scruti

No one can get by sharp M. P.’s eyes.
All courtesy cards must be signed prop

You can’t put anything over on a watch

BINOCULARS NOT NECESSAR
When a company of American sol
diers took a section of enemy trench
in the recent fighting in the Chateau
Thiery regien, they found numerious
pairs offline binoculars, according to
a story published in the Paris edition
of the New York Herald, which quoted
a Y. M. C. A. man who had been serv
ing the soldiers during the action as
saying the Boches threw away their
glases because the Yanks were so
close to them all the time they had no
difficulty in seeing them. “They could
not run and look over their houlderA
through a pair of field glasses at the
ame time,” said the Red Triangle man.
“Any restitution Germany offers to
the allies will bfe offered, you may be
sure, in the spirit of Griggs. '
The speaker was Edward Hungerford
the advertising expert.
“Griggs and Mlggs,” he went on,
“were kidnapped by bandits and shut
up in a cave.
” ’They’ll take every cent we've got
on us,’ moaned Miggs. 'Every blessed
cent.’
“ ‘They will, eh?’ said Griggs thought
fully.
“ ‘They sure will.’
“Griggs peeled a ten-spot from his
roll.
“ 'Here, Miggs.’ he said ‘here is that
ten dollars I’ve been owing you for so
long.’ " Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph

AbouQten new secretaries are due to
arrive at Camp Hancock this week and
with their arrival will start the new

transferred here frorr I’amp Greene,
(’haHotte, N. Co}. j. O’Leari' of
.Savannah, Gu.. who his been recently
appointed director of operations for the
cantonment 1 ’ and camp embracing the
Southeastern Department, is expected to
visit the camp shortly in connection
with the work. Col. O'Leary is a promi
nent business man of Sa. innah, Ga., and
has been yor years active in the Na
tional Guard of the Stat*? of Georgia,
and was until a short ibm- ago a lieuten
ant-colonel in the United States army, re
ceivlng an honorable discharire on ac
count of physical disability. His knowl
edge of military matters ami proficiency
as a business man, will be of inestimable
value to the Knights of <’olurnbus iif
carrying on their 'welfare work in this
territory, and we an indeed fortunate
to have secured his services.
A HIGH AMBITION
BLIGHTED '
It has long been true that inspiration
comes suddenly and from mysterious
sources, but it remained for Register-d
Mall Clerk Long at the <'amp Postoffice
to demonstrate the proposition at <‘amp
Hancock. When the aeroplane from
Americus. Ga., flew over camp last Wed
nesday one of the most interested obser
vers of its graceful maneuvers was the
s.<rne Mr. Long, who had never been
known to desert his desk for an\ previous
excitement -4 any kind.
On this occasion, however, he was real
ly interested —in fact so deeply was he
interested that he immediately rushed
to the telephone and got in communica
tion with his aimable friend. Frank Jazz
Welch, mail clerk at Division Headquar
ters, and put in an urgent request f< r ad
mission to the Air Service of the United
States Army.
Being expert on that ll'ne Frank
was able to attend to the application with
despatch and efficiency, so that it. was a
matter of but a few hours before the en
thusiastic Mr. Long was notified of the
decision of the official board.
But, alas' and alack! The decision was
adverse. In mild and soothing terms the
hoard stated its disapproval of the appli
cation for the reason that the services
of Clerk Long at the Registered Mail desk
are considered absolutely indispensable,
and it was not deemed wise t<> gratify
his ambition to fly among the clouds and
frighten the little birdies.
So doth High Ambition perish!
Woman's Way
Slie never gave hjrn half a chance.
At proms or games or teas.
But when he donned his uniform.
She did to please.
She kn‘*ted him a muffler.
(Tod ng by several feet).
She faithfully rolled bandages,
(Which never could look neat).
She started making sweatees
And warm and wooly socks,
But the insides were so bumpy,
They felt like ragged rocks’
And when nt last he went to war,
She wept a salty tear,
And wrote a letter every day,
Beginning each, “Jack’ Dear!"
Now isn’t that just likt a girl?
As long as he’s plain man
She turned away each fond advance.
Before it e’er began.
But when a soldier he became.
A hero brave it seems,
She could not do enuf to help
The "idol of her dreams.”
