Colton.) > Vr«e night ■shall soon be filled with vEFlsic and the cares that infest the day, so charmingly alluded to by the late H. W. Longfellow, will take to their heels, leaving my fellow specialists and me nothing to worry about in the wide, wide world except time tables and the possi bilities of traffic congestion, between now and Easter. That is. if the Heinies bow to the inevitable and say, Enough! like the kid we used to wallop In our Penrod days. If they don’t —well, we won’t be looking for any more extras and peace conferences and “Unconditional Surren der” across the top of newspaper pages. No, ma’am. Iticification talk wilt bo forgotten in the immediate task of put ting on the finishing touches, and boyo, what a finish! Regimental Sergeant Major Lee H.

And they carried their own ammunition, too. Tin palls, basins and wood boxes and everything loose in the neighborhood propelled by spectral hands crashed in upon us to the accompaniment of ghostly laughter. We suspect Sullivan and Thorns of starting the rumpus but we can't prove it. The only casualty was a bump on Esterkyn’s head, made by a pail while It was leav ing our tent. Corporal Otis Lufkin must boa popular where he and another famous man, who has advanced in the world until he has become as upply sergeant, hail from. First Otis got a comfortable from the neighbors that made everybody envious and his mall has always been heavy, an other thing tn keep the green eyed mon ster squirming.

Sixth Group To Break Into Society Augusta and Augustans have had ample opportunity to get rid of some of the pent-up energy which has been stored away in the period of tense ex citement awaiting the news of the signing of the armistice which will be the forerunner of the world peace. The celebration on Monday night gave them the chance to get it out of their sys tems. .Even the activity following the premature receipt of the fact in the shape of a “rumor’’ was a sort of “let ting loose.” It’s true that the soldiers at Camp Hancock had their share in the parade, but not to so great a degree as they would have had, had the quarantine not been in effect. But that will soon be over. Activities are now under way in the Sixth Group, M. T. D., which promise tc give the boys in that group every or portunity tc, make up for the good times which may have beene lost on account of the restriction. Lieut. Aaron Singer, in charge of the opera tion department for the group, has the whole plan under hi,s hat. He let some of it slip out the other day—fact, not rumor. Each Wednesday night a banquet, is to be given by one of the companies in the group. Group dances will also be held, each battalion giving a dunce once a week. Ab for clubs preparations are being made —a building is even now under going reconstruction—which when completed will result in an officers’ club. Changes in construction of the officers’ mess halls are being made, consolidating, or rather joining two buildings by bridging the space be tween them. In this way space suffi- 66th Company Start Social Activities in Sixth Entertainment and Banquet Held in Mess Hall—Lieut. Arthur B. Fielder and Bride Arc Guests of Honor On Tuesday, October Ith, at the Church of the Sacred Heart, Augusta, Ga., occurred the marriage of Lieut. Arthur B. Fielder, 66th Co.. M. T. D., to Miss Cicela Durban of Augusta, Ga. This charming young lady is one of the most popular of Augustas younger set. Lieutenant Fielder, formerly of “G” Troop, Bth Cavalry, was stationed for qurtfe some time at Marford, Texas, be ing transferred to Camp Hancock about a year ago. Congratulations of the entire personnel of the company is extended. The banquet is the first of a series of social events which are to take place in the 6th Group during the fall season and judging from the enthusiasm dis played and the masterly way in which every detail was handled, the group is assured of some wonderful entertain ments. The 66th Company has started the ball rolling and other companies of the group will follow their lead in quick succession. Besides a most gorgeous spread, which truly embodied the proverbial “soup to nuts” (and we never knew exactly what that, meant before) the assembly was most pleasantly enter tained by the very best talent of the camp, including several violin selec tions by Sergeant Minars, 74th Com pany, classic and character songs by Sergeant Levy, 75th Company; colored Hardboiled Happenings In the sth Group, M.T.D. (By Ossified Oesie; Assisted by the lowa Icicle.) Due to the fact that Corporal Greene, our regular scribe came in contact with the business end of a knife and is now spending ids vacation at the Bat.e hospi tal, Ossified Ossie and Harlem Grouch have volunteered to write us a few lines this week. Regimental Sergeant Major-Buck Pri vate-Battalion Sergeant Major Hamid S Wright is again eligible for admission to] the Sergeants' Club Harold says he is going to be an elevator operator when he gets back home. He is used to ups, and downs in this world. Our seventy-thirty class in physical] culture is progressing rapidly under Lieu tenant Nelson’s instruction. Regimental Sergeant Major Clodfelter sure will be able to grab the long green when he gets back to the city. Why turn yourself into a contortionist over a little exercise, Minnie? After three weeks’ rest at the Base hospital Private King, our ranking or derly, is with us again. King says that you cannot even get away from K. I‘. in , the hospital. Still when you cook eggs for pretty nurses it. is different. Eh, King? Sergeant Coppolo has just come back from Newark, N. J., where he spent ten days. Jimmie says he would not take another furlough If it was handed to him on a silver platter, and for twenty days at that. We don’t blame you. Jim. Who ever heard of Newark, anyway? Do ' the trains stop there? The other day Sergeant Major Clodfelt- ! er sent to the 60th Company for a list of men available for guard duty, and here is what he got back: One PRIVATE I Westman. Conundrum: When is a gold' brick not a gold brick? Answer: When he does guard duty. Our friend, Sergeant Casey of the 55th Company, is so elated over the Demo cratic victory in little old Noo Yawk, 1 that he dressed all up in O. D.’s Sunday and went to town to see his Georgia Peach. Jf you have it as bad as that, Casey, why bother about politics at home? She won’t go there with you- First Sergeant Dryden and Corporal Jackson of the 50th Company must have been to see a Clairvoyant. They each got a six-day furlough six hours before their company was guaranteed. Who; tipped you off, Sarg? First Sergeant Green of the 49th Cn , went to Aiken, S.

TRENCH AND CAMP cient to accommodate the great num ber of officers in the group will bo ob tained. A sergeants’ club is also to bo opened. As a matter of fact, the piano has already been moved in and -well, what more is wanted? Ever hear of a 6th Group sergeant who wouldn’t rather sing than drill or do “bunk fatigue?” You ought to hear them singing “My Yadeline.” Sergeant Stan ford J. Levy, of the 75th Company, will be one of the nroininent fixtures of this now organization, not on account of his avoirdupois, but because of his melodious voice. An athletic schedule has been pre pared by Lieutenant Ustruck of the 74th Company, who has been group athletic officer in the absence of XJeut. William Wood. This program bids fair to bring out the best there is in the group in every branch of sport. Sixty “try-outs” are daily on the football Held undergoing intensive training ami instruction. The Sixth Group expects to develop a winner in the football line. Lieutenant Wood and Lieutenant Ustruck will both be represented on the team. Equipment costing $350 has been ordered. Members of the team will wear maroon and black sweaters on which will be “Sixth Group,” in white. Aspirants to “Weston’s" title for long distance walking will be given plenty of exercise on Wednesday. The officers and enlisted men of the entire Sixth Group will leave at 5 o’clock in : the morning for the old artillery range I where they will go through some of the • schedules of machine gun fire. They 1 will return the same day. The round i trip of about 5 miles should put every one in trim—7s-year-old Weston had ; better look after his title. quartet from 81st Company 7th Group; colored buck and wing dancers from 80th Company, 7th Group; the famous Jazz Orchestra from the 3rd Group and ; also a three-piece stringed orchestra 1 cosisting of piano, violin and mandolin of the 6th Group. The entire affair was a decided suc cess and the various comments from the guests prove the appreciation and popularity of these “Get* Together” meetings. A vote of thanks was extended the promoters, who have worked so hard, and the party broke up nt a late hour, everyone feeling they had materially i benefited by the good fellowship which ' prevailed.

Doesn’t she make pretty pictures of football games? The Fifth Group was well represented in the football game on Saturday. Ser geant Gerber of the 58th Company played the entire game at left tackle and cer tainly played a stellar game. Sergeant Richter of the Headquarters Comp.iny played one-fourth of the game at left end, j while Sergeant Gardner of the 59th Com pany \vas on the second team but. due to the. fact that he has only been out for practice a few nights he did not have a chance to play. I Sergeant Walsh of the 53rd Company ! received a box from home, and from his : appearance one would think that he tried I to cat his cake with hh ears and his l mouth both at the same time. j Sergeant Higel and Sergeant Richter ’of the 54th Company went to Aiken, S. c_, on Saturday with COMPANY and by their appearance next morning the war 1 still rages, on the Southern Front.

In the 55th company mess hall, tastefully decorated with greenery, a very satisfy ing evening was spent, with songs, stories and some splendid talks by officers and enlisted men. The peace rumor of the night before had only served to strengthen the deter mination of the men to show the world that they were capable of making the nest set of non-coms that the war had piodueed. so that when it was all over they could go home with a sense of duty well done.
