A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU :
ILL!
Talking about Christmas, we want to
call you -ittenrion to the Christmas
spirit displayed by Sergeant Lester I.
Cusick. One of his tentmates had
received permission to spend Christ
mas at home and was awaiting the
rival ot a registered letter contain
ing the t ecesssry funds to pay the ex
penses cf the trip. He waited until
the last minute and no funds arrived
and be was in a quandary as to where
tie could get the necessary funds. Cu
sick alto had filed application for a
short leave and aft°r learning the cir
ciutnstanres of his bunkie wiehdrew
his application and insisted that his
tentmate take his money as a. loan and
mak- arrangements for leaving on the
train he expected to go on. This in
cident is only one of many that have
occurred in this camp and shows the
calibre of the soldiers in the American
army.
We take great pleasure in informing
the world at large that Private First-
Class Jeremiah Sullivan is a member
of the Camp Hancock basketball team.
We know he will make good. Ataboy,

We always maintained that Private
Ray Cooper was “some boy." Here's

S.L. THOMAS, RETURNED
FROM FRANCE, SPEAKS
AT LIBERTY THEATER
Mr. S. L. Thomas, who has recently
returned from the French front where
he was in “Y” work connected with the
Rainbow Division, gave the address at
the Liberty Theater Sunday afternoon.
He told a number of startling stories
showing the atrocities of the Huns. One
of the most thrilling was as follows:
A ‘W’ truck, after a severe battle,
went into No-Man’s Land and picked up
the wounded soldiers. Germans. French
and Americans, ’ >ne truck was filled
with men who had been gassed. A
German, less badly gassed than others,
lay on a stretch- r side by side with an
unconscious American boy. On the way
to the hosupital the truck broke down
and the doctor threw his flash light in
side to see how the patients were bear
ing the trip He found the American
boy's breast covered with blood. H
threw his flash light on the German’s
cot, found him conscious and streaks
of blood on his face. Investigation
proved that th' German had reached
over, grabbed the arm of the uncon
scious American, got his wrist between
histeeth. and gnawed lhe artery
asunder. Thon had thrown (he arm I
over upon the unconscious boys body
so that he could bleed to death from
this wound, and probably hoping that
no evidences of the act would be found
implicating himself in the crime.
The Main Training Depot Band, Lehi
tenant W. J- Hershenow, leader, gave
the opening concert, which is a popular
feature of these Sunday afternoon Y. M.
C. A. meetings.
Next Sunday afternoon Bishop Leete
of Atlanta will speak, and the Band
from tlm Ordnance Training (’amp will
furnish the music.

LECTURE AT J. W.B,
BY DR. WILKINSON
STIRS AUDIENCE
Amid loud cheers and enthusiasm.
Dr. Wilkinson, educational secretary
of the Y. M. C. A. at this camp, speak
ing before an audience on Friday night
which filled the Jewish Welfa/o Buil
ding to capacity, declared that now.
that this terrible world catachlism lias
been brought to an end with democ
racy triumphant, every subject people
will have a voice in the determination
of its own destinies; they will be mas
ters of their own affairs and no nation
no matter how great and powerful will
ever again dare lift the sword against
the other.
This has been a war against war, he
went, on, and now more than ever, he
said, we must give our unflinching
support to President Wilson. We
would have suffered for nought, mil
lions of human lives would have been
sacrificed in vain, did we rest content
to return to pre-war conditions, to the
status quo ante. President. Wilson,
he continued, is the spokesman of the
vvorhl democracy and lhe guardian
over the rights of the small national
ities We may well rest assured that
under his masterful ladership the
world will emerge the better after lhe
Versailles conference will have been
ended. One thing we'must remember,
he said, with great emphasis, the prew
ident’s position at the peace conference
would be an embarrassing one if he i
difl not have a united people behind
him. 1
In opening his remarks Dr. Wilkin
son stoke of the three great nations* l
who l ave contributed most to the 1
world the Romans, the Greeks and',
the Jews. The Jewish contribution, he ! -
said, is the superior because it has re- Ij
vended to the world the secrets, the ;
mysteries of the universe. The Jew
ish prophets, he continued, were able
to look into the enigma of the veiled ’
fut tre and with their clear vision see .
the noncatination of events. They ,
were thus able to tell the world of
the coming of peace, when the Lamb i
and the Lion shall lie together, in an '
age vthen barbarity and brute force ’
was paramount. When ho declared
that the .Jewish people will once again
be able to establish themselves as an
independent nation on their ancient
soil there was wild applause and cheer
ing wn*di la.sted for several minutes.
In reviewing pre war conditions and
lhe cause:- which brought about this,
’he greatest struggle in the history of
the human race, he exhibited a rare
l.now'.edgo of international affairs
which astounded the audience. He <
came i<- the conclusion that a league
of nations was the only solution to the
many problems involving the settling
of world affairs. Speaking of the
< haotic (onditions existing in Russia
.it present, he said, that the. world little
undirstards the heart of great Russia
and less does it. understand the mean
ing of revolution. 1 wm stek of atti
tude of the capitalistic press of this
count'-y vdth re;;ard to Russia, ho said
with feeling. A democracy and a sta- :
hie government cannot be created over :
right Is s’ill in the throes of convul- <
sir.n and it will, as it should, take time
beforg order will ho re-established. ■
Those if us who have no patience with 1
Russia show their ignorance of world ;
IRtury. The French revolution lasted i
thirty yenrs, and I tw» you men. Rus- ;
sia will emerge one. of the greatest
countries in the world in much less
than thirty years. That the audience j
was pleased with his liberal attitude, i
toward that suffering country was i
manifested by the applause his re- I
marks received. <

them. Ho also paid ft high tribute to
co-operation he has received from Dr.
Wilkinson in his work at camp.
The religious services of the evening
which preceded Dr. Wilkinson's lec
ture, were conducted by Rabbi Lean
Spitz and Private Meyer W. Weisgal.
There was also a musical program in
which the following participated: Na
than Levy, violin solo; Privates
Brenner and Weisgal, vocal selections,
and Jewish folk songs. At the con
clusion of the meeting, the usual
“goodies" were handed out to the sol
diers their interest in which was al
most equal to that of their interest in
the musical program.

2nd Development Battalion.)
combination entertainment of city
and camp talent started the week of De
cember ninth with a crash. Most of the
performers on the program were artists
in their own line. Miss Ridley and Mrs.
Fair are both musicians well known to
the music lovers of Augusta, Miss Rid
ley being a student of Carl Diton, the
famous pianist who. several years ago,
graduated with honors from the Taris
Conservatory of Music; and Mrs. Carr
having studied voice in the conservatory
at Howard University. Miss Johnson
doubtless is too modest to claim to be a
specialist but in our judgment sht. is far
above the grade of amateurs as a. reader
of both serious and humorous selections.
Among those, who figured from the
carnp were Lieut. Dickerson, of Chicago,
who has entertained many large and
critical audiences in the North and West,
as a violinist; Lieut. Simmelkjaer. of
New York, whom the men at camp never
tire of hearing: Secretary Reddick, who
surprised and delighted us all with his
dialect readings from Dunbar: and the
quartette from the old Headquarters Co.
Tuesday night kept up the. pace set by
Monday night. The "World in Pictures’’
interested us all with scenes from the
battle fronts before the signing of the
armistice. And s William S. Hart pic
ture entertained us as only that, artist
can.
The livest evangelistic meeting packed
the “Y” on Wednesday night. Dr. S. L.
Thomas of Baltimore made religion and
the religious life so attractive to the men
that one hundred and nine signed the
War Roll and many others began to think
o fbecoming soldiers of Christ.
Thursday night a packed house again
greeted the movies, and as usual every
body enjoyed the live sing-song that, pro
ceeded the pictures.
Then to make a fitting end to the
week we had the best night in many
ways on Friday. Secretary Payne with
his pau'r and crayons drew during the
first fifteen minutes a picture of Mar
shall Foch which all the men recognized
as the great Generalissimo. Then Sec
retary Johnson gave the men a most in
teresting and instructive lecture on Li
beria. Secretary Johnson being a na
tive Liberian was thoroughly conversant
with his subjec tand handled it in such
away that the men got a great deal of
real fun as well as real instruction from
his lecture. The Chieftain’s costume
made entirely by the nalives was inter
esting for that reason.
On Saturday morning Secretaries Jones.
Robinson and Johnson made a long wet.
trip to Belair, Ga . and brought back a
big truck load of Christmas greens, •
plenty of hollv and mistletoe for the
fellows to stand under. ‘*Y” 79 has been
most blessed in finding a number of

th l ir services at any and all times for
tlic comfort and convenience of the sol

EVENTS OF THE WEEK
AT “Y" HUT 231
By S. R. Blanton.
The thought of the soldier during the
past few weeks has changed from that
of war tn that of peace and civilian life.
Not many days ago his favorite sub
jects were "How to Live at the Front,’’
“Over the Top,’’ and -My Four Years I
in Germany.’’ |
Now the most popular among the
hooks he is reading run something like
this:
“The Pastor's Wife,'*
"A Girl of the Limberloat.”
“A Dream of Blue Roses.
As a result of this change our hook
shelves are kept almost empty. Our
books in constant circulation, and the
educational secretary on constant duty.
The Automatic Streagraphic Ma
- hine showing slides on sex hygiene
has been an extremely interesting
guest this week, and it is safe to say
that. 3t>,000 boys have learned the les
sons phesented my the machine.
The educational lecture of the week I
was given by Solon J. Rieser on the I
subject of the soldier’s readjustment I
to civilian life. Dr. Rieser Is a mag- I
netic power and his audience listened I
throughout the discourse with great I
entupsiasm. |
