One of the finest links for binding our country to France is being forged by the Association of American Col leges in the arrangements it is making for bringing French girls to American colleges. Various colleges are offer ing scholarships to 200 French girls; and the committee for conferring with applicants has found many more than that number eager to avail themselves of the Opportunity to come to the Uni ted States for iludy. In order that no deserving young woman may be dis appointed. the.

Camp Hancock, Georgia, Oct. 16, 1918. MEMORANDUM NO. 23. The following statement of the purpose and alm of the War Department with reference to Development Battalions is published for the information of this command. s The transfer of a man to the Develop ment Battalion is not a reflection or stig ma placed upon him. It must not be so considered. It means simply that he Is not at the time of transfer considered to pttrforro ei| the hard, strenu ous udtles of combat with ito Htrsr-Mant enormous fatigue, deprivations and hard ships, that call for the very best type of physical and mental menhood. It also means that these men will be grouped, classified and rated according to their ability and In such an intelli gent manner as will quickly determine their exact qualifications for government al service. It is intended that such men will be brought by careful medical and surgical treatment and special physical and military training to such a degree of efficiency as will make them capable of replacing, both in the United States and overseas men otherwise engaged who can be put into the fighting forces. Any idea that a majority of the men transferred to the Development Battal ions will be put back into useful occupations where they c:yi "do their bit" for the government, is entirely sala cious and should be promptly dispelled from the minds of those who have been made thus to believe. There is need for all these men, both here and in France. By order of Major Fleming: Walter G. McGowan, Ist Lt. Inf., U. S. A A d j u ta n t.

Corporal Getty got his warrant. Privates Rea and Riddle have re turned from their furlough. Dad Hilpmt wonders why everybody pick-i on him, but he is the only one that has money. Jim Stokes has given up the life of tlie Red Mountains of Montana and is now wearing tho uniform, but still ho longs to be back where life was real. Sergeant Wassil has lost his voice, now, s»> he got a whistle at last. But Hu whole u-ction wishes he had not. He never gives either it or the section a rest.

There was considerable race between | the two sections in the Liberty Bondi purchase. The second section was in the lead at last reports, buying alto gether $13,000 worth, leaving the first section at $2,550. without a cent of profit and without at tempting to oven cover the expense en tailed in distrbution. The financial loss is shouldered by the ' organization and the soldiers get the ’ goods at cost. For instance, Bull Dur- ! barn tobacco sells for 4 1-2 cents a pack age and Fatima cigarettes for 9 1-2 cents I a pack with all other brands on an equal basis with these figures. The boys act- ; ually pay less than they would in the ’ United States. When the "Y" first, began operations i with the American troops, there was some misunderstanding as to how the supplies would be distributed. In emer gencies, such as engagements wehre the men were under a. severe strain th "Y 1 distribute! tobacco, biscuits, cakes, etc; I free of charge and some of the boys get the idea that all the Red Triangle sup plies were to pass out that way. But the situation is understood now and the sol diers are absolutely satisfied with the system, Bits of Everything First Lieutenant A. M. Haig just re turned from his leave of absence, and will go to M. G. school and Lieutenant H. M. Circle will command the company. Corporal Thomas Mitchell returning from a month’s furlough in Boston, spent a month that is well appreciated. The First Sergeant wishes to know why Torr, did not get married while on leave, but I guess its no wonder to anybody, as he will as soon as the war is over. A funny thing happened to Sergeant McClung a little over a month ago. A lady sitting in front of him, with a big hat, had Sergeant in guessing so he de cided that he would state to have the hat removed and this is, how things took place: "Lady, will you please remove your hat? I want to look as well ajs you." Lady of about 55 just going over the tup said: "Well, if you do sir, you had better run home and change your face.’’ That’s alright, Mark, your time is life, don’t waste it- Work like Helen B. Happy. Sergeant Chesnut before returning from furlough, was asked the following from a civilian: "Have you joined the army?" "Yes, I volunteered —by request.” "Are you a regular soldier?" "No, just a sub-marine." "Do you get a commission?" "No, straight salary." First sergeant says, all the young ladies should work in the postoffice, 'because they can manage the males." j Sergeant Holcombe, the infantry cali ber man, is another man the company is | pjroud of. His manual of arms will pass ; this soldier any where, likewise with the | scrap with the Bochy," his excellent work |on the field is an A-No. 1 man. What happened to First Sergeant So lensky on Monday morning? l?oc any body know’ Our idea is that his wife came to Augusta, and his-smile is w ith him again. Her travel is from Flint, Mich. She now resides on Broad street, in the city of Augusta. It will be noted that First Sergeant will wear more shoes now hiking down town, because at present tho car system is done away with during the check of flu, and his compliance with Memo. No. 4, Hq. M.GT.C.. will allow him to visit her as often as he can conic in time. A song has been offered for the Trench and Camp readers it is guaranteed to be correct, and can be used with musi< , "On If He (‘an Fight Like He Can Love, etc*,’’ this being a parody to that song land First Sergeant is going to guaran tee the satisfaction, a solid approval to all.
