LUNCHEON MSES CAMP'S CAMPAIGN fob™™ General Edwards and Staff Guests of Headquarters Company Officers o o MACHINE GUN CENTER BOND SALES $755,550. That, the Liberty Loan is go ing over the "top” at the Ma- | ; chne Gun Training Center in | | Camp Hancock is apparent by J reports submitted by the va- | rious units up to Friday mid night, October 18th. The total j sales at that time was $755,550. ' The subscriptions since Fri- | | day cannot be compiled until | | Monday, but the Camp Liberty | Loan officials believe that Gamp 1 Hancock will be right up with the leaders. | The Central Machine Gun Of ficers’ Training School continues j to lead all the other organiza- ' tions, followed closely by the | companies of the second and | third groups, of the Main Train- I ing Depot. The Machine Gun I School has also made a very j creditable, showing In this drive. ' Brigadier General Edwards | has complimented the Camy Lib- | erty Loan officials for their I splendid work and showing I o O Brigadier General Oliver Edwards and his staff were guests of honor at Liberty Ixran luncheon given Satur day by Captain Clarence 1. Worcester and the officers of the Headquarters Company, Machine Gun Training Cen ter, to the men of the company. The mess hall was crowded to ca pacity when the Headquarters Com pany Jas 8 Band started proceedings. While the lunch was served. Privates Cooper and Greeley entertained with popular songs, and Sergeant Al Ander derson, of the Personnel Detachment, gave an exhibition of magic and sleight of hand which merited the applause he received. The hall was decorated with pat riotic’ colors and appropriate Liberty Loan banners and streamers. Seated at the guests’ table were. Brigadier General Oliver Edwards, Lieut.-Col. Alfred Brandt, chief of staff; Major L. A. Kunzig, chief of operations; Major Harry S. Barton, camp adjutant; Major Jos. Tj. Scott, assistant camp adjutant; Major S. G. Blanton, former commander of the Headquarters Company; Captain Wor cester. 'commanding the company; Captain Harold M. Wilson, camp sig nal officer; Lieut. Samuel Evans, Jr.. General Edwards’ aide decamp; Lieuts George E. Garrett, Raymond B. Sey mour, Frank (). Andridge and James A. Davis, of the Headquarters Com pany, and Lieut. Harold E. Mountain of the Senior Instructor’s Office, Cen tran Machine Gun Officers’ Training School, representing the Camp Liberty Loan officer. After the luncheon was served, Lt. Harold E. Mountain in a brief speech. Introduced General Edwards, who ad dressed the men as follows: "When the first Liberty Loan started I was on duty at Camp Lee, and a thermometer was placed with a dial, on each company shark, with a main dial at the Divisional Headquarters which recorded the progress made daily by the various organizations. This stimulated the Males and opened ways for competition between varoius organizations with the result that al though a marvelous showing was made, it was found later by the of ficials that soldiers who had other burdens to carry such as allotments and war risk insurance, had become over-enthusastlc and subscribed for more bonds than they could possibly carry on their army earnings, and in consequence thereof many cases had to be called in. “But we are wiser now. When this Fourth Liberty Loan started, 1 re ceived instructions to the effect to start a loan, and was expressely for bidden to urge the men of this camp to buy more bonds than their actual al lowance could stand. "I appointed Liberty Loan officers in all organizations and they have done extremely well. Without flour ish of trumpets, we have managed to get fourth place in the camp list and first place in proportion to strength of camps So that I am glad to see that the "pep” and “click” of the Ma chine Guuners was applied in this Liberty Loan drive. "1 wish you men could have heard a letter read the other night from a boy "over there” wherein he writes of being 19 days in Hell. He had been in a sector where it was quiet, when without warning the enemy bombarded that place for IS hours with gas shells, shrapnel, six-inch shells, and other material. When their outfit was struck, those left started forward. For fifteen days they never got over four hours of sleep, some days none at all, and talk about cold- why the cold weather here does not compare with the cold days they have there. So we see hat the men "over there” are en during all sorts of discomfort, and that we. over here, are having a yretty easy time at that. "Now. we all know that every one of us would be "over there” if we could, but we all can't have what we want, we must amide our time. 1 can only say that 1 would want nothing more than to command the men from this very camp were I sent “over there,” and no one would want any thing betetr. "We are all doing our best, whether we be K. P.’s or pounding a type writer or commanding a company. Let’s get behind this Fourth Liberty Loan, as much as we can tofford in the same manner they are doing things on the other side.” Lieutenant Mountain announced that the Headquarters Company Band had subscribed to $3,500 of bonds, which was greeted with thunderous applause. Trench and Camp ads. are reliable. GAS AND BOMB SCHOOL REMOVES TO NEW HOME • Leave Operations Section to Become Part of Machine Gun School. The hand grenade and bombing school, as well as the gas school, which lias been occupying space in the Oper ations section building at M. G. T. C. headquarters, have been made a part I of the Machine Gun School, and the of- I fleers attached to these schools will move the 4 ! respective offices there. First 1. leut. Charles M.

TRENCH AND CAMP | JEWISH WELFARE BOARD The Jewish Welfare Board is utilizing its increased staff to the fullest extent at this time. It is penetrating into the various phases of camp and town activity working in hearty and harmonious co operation with all the other agencies, and coming in for a goodly measure of praise and commendation. As the relatives and friends ot sick men come into town they are met by the "Y” K. of C. and J. W. B. secretaries. Mr. Dreyfoos was assigned to this task • immediately upon his arrival from Camp Lee on the night shift. During the day time Mr. Clark J. W. B. repre sentative. At the present time the hospital staff of the J. W. B. has been increased to two workers and they wend their way through the tents.and wards at the Base distributing • stationery and stamps and offering to all gratis smokes, gum, cho< - olate. fruit, and newspapers. The more critical cases are seen b ythe Camp Rabbi who go.es into the wards with words of comfort an dcheer and writes letters home for the men. The Chaplains, Red Cross, "Y” and K. of C. men welcome the J. W. B. as true mesengers of com fort. Plans for entertainment are being work ed out so that as soon as the quarantine is lifted no time win be lost. Mr. Clark, the Yiddish actor, is rehearsing several plays and securing the co-operation <>f the towns people. The new local (writur in Augusta is open and newly decorated. It is situated at Eighth and Telfair Streets and has al] the conveniences that one expects in a place of this character, j Reading rooms, writing rooms, pool tables j dance ffoor, and all the rest are present i arid the J. W. B. i anxiously looking for ward to the time when the accomodation,- will be utilized. How Is It In the Happy Hills ? (Lieut. Wm. S. Copp.) How is it in rhe happy hills Far from the spoils of war? How is it. where the daffodils Spread their legions far? Adown th? green and gray cool slopes Where purple shadow softly grope Out of the woodlands weird and wild Into the meadows, meek and wild How is it In the happy hills Whose hosts are yellow daffidils? Is there still the sunny glade Where wee folk make sweet minstrelry Plalying on posy pipe and blade In .strange mad moods of melody? How js it in the happy hills Far from the scenes of war Are the golden daffidils Nodding near and far? And do they miss the lads that played On sunny slop? and purple glade, Who eager sought the meadows mild For game or frolic weird and wild Who, like a host of daffldiils In legions spread on France’s hills. Is there less of minstrelry And more, of pipings subtly sad Because there Comes not jubilantly Each rogish, romping lad. ',4 A Stitch in Time BY OSCAR E." HOWITT. London.— (By Mail.)- "All aboard for the sight-seeing tour, "yelled the guide in the front door of V M. C. \ Eagle Hut this morning. The bo* across the table jumped and reached for his hat. "Hold that follow a minute till 1 get a pin.” cried the youngster. But a pin wouldn't do. There was a five inch tear in his trousers below the shadow of his tunic. The youngster was rushed ovo? 1<« "Mother’s (’orn« !" and she sowed the trousers while the soldier stood at at tention. A "Y” secretary held the! rubberneck wagon. It was nothing unusual. Some of the . boys laughed, but many of them h id j seen the woman mend clothes on a soldier before. That is what she does ! day in and day out. Her r.arn is! Mrs. Arthur Gleason. wife of the ! American writer. She works without 1 pay. She has been as near the front ' as a "Y” woman is permitted to go ! She worked for soldiers and civilians in Belgian. She has had the mumps ' with soldiers in France. She knows the boys. Over Mrs. Gleason’s easy bench is a' large sign, reading: "All kinds of mending but no one can spend a cent in this corner.” o : z I I ‘ A CAPITALISTS’ WAR. 1 I I | The Germans have told you i this is a capitalists’ war that ! j ! our rich men have driven us into j 1 j the war for big profits.

New Secre taries Arriving. In spite of the fact that the present quarantine has temporarily curtailed the activities at both K. of C. build ings, General Secretary Donahoe has not been idle in carrying on welfare and recreational work. With the ad dition of four new secretaries who have arrived during the past week, the K. of C. is in position to more thoroughly carry on the work at Camp Hancock, and with the completion of Building No. 3, at the intersection or Wrights boro Road and Pennsylvania Avenue, j in the near future, their familiar sign. ‘•Everybody Welcome” will be conspic uous in every section of the camp.

Since the United Service Committee was organized to care for the relatives of ijick soldiers at the Base Hospital, 1 K. of C. secretaries have been on duty jat the Soldiers’ Club day and night, meeting all trains and assisting in transporting th? visitors to and from the hospital. This organization, which consists of representatives from ail of j the welfare workers at Camp Han- I cock and in Augusta hav<* bee’h doing humane work since the beginning of the influenza, epidemic ond the va rious activities represented have work ed in perfect harmony, with one- object in view:.’ the assistance of those who I have come to Augusta to be with their loved ones who are stricken. This splendid co-opt ration augers much for the future relations of those working forth? ’ recreation and betotrment of: our boys. The lines of the various or- | ganizations engaged in welfart? work j are so closely interwoven that it is ab solutely necessary that they work in perfect accord and the unity shown in this work has demonstrated to every one the advantages « f close associa tions and co-ordination. Mr. M. S. Higas, of New Orleans. Ala., who previous to entering K. of ('. work was a prominent, optermetoist of that city, arrived at Camp Hancock I recently, and through his genial per- 1 sonality has made himself a valuable acquisition to the K. of C. forces.

Donahoe has planned a thorough course of in- I struct ion for the new men who are be -1 ing sent here, which will embrace all jof the features of the work. Secre ! tary Donahoe has had years of experi ence in athletics and recreational i work, and is particularly well quali ' tied to handle this school of instruc » tion. He will be ably assisted by As isistant Gencr..l Secretary Arthur A. ! McGuigan, who prior to entering K. |of work was . ••.nnected in an exe cutive capacity with the*G<*nerai Elec- I trie Company.
