MONDAY, THE SIXTEENTH.
Good mu Hie and strong programs in
general were characteristic of the en
tire week's effort at Army Y. M. <A.
232.
The Majn Training Depot Band, under
the leadership of Lieut. W. J.Hershenow,
opened the evening's entertainment on
this night. There were frequent recalls,
along with numbers played by special
request. Music hath charms, and this
holds good wherever the soldier may be,
and it does not matter how often the
band plays, he never seems to tire of
this pastime. Secretary Honeyman fol
lowed the concert with his illustrated
lecture on the "Lights and Shadows of
New York City.’’ The slides shown were
the best,and represented the city as
shown by pencil, word and camera, from
the days of Henry Hud on down to the
present time when the modern sky
scraper climbs for fifty-five stories into
the ether blue. The nest of the mam
moth edifices that clustered on Iow»t
Manhattan island is by all odds the
most conspicuous group of commercial
and industrial buildings on earth, with
a daily changing skyline that is almost
kaleidoscopic so that one marvels at
each recurrent visit to this mighty
metropolis.
The views as shown gave the various
changes from the woods and tepees of
Red Men who sold their magic terri
tory for the vast sum of twenty-four
dollars. While telling the story verbal
ly. and by picture, the speaker was
frequently interrupted by bursts of ap
plause which showed the appreciative
ness of the large audience.
TUESDAY, THE SEVENTEENTH.
Physical Director Riddick arranged for ;
a large number of informal < vents to he
pulled off indoors, with the use of the
mats. More than eight hundred enthu
siastic soldiers were look* r:-on at tin
athletic work on the mat in the center
of the large auditorium V 232 was the
site of a real gymnasium for more than
one hour and a half, the seating capacity
being banked on all four sides. It was
indeed an evening of events worth tak
ing notice.Tumbling, handsprings. pyr
amid formations, one leg wrestling were
just, a few of the stunts. The boys took
off their coats and shirts, and volunteer
ed to show the audience a Jive time,
with th© work as a pleasure to them-
SeivvS ,r€ well
Athletics of all kinds, both indoors
and out of doors, mean much (o this
great world of ours. The character and
strength, with the forces of endurance,
play a large part in the life of the sol
dier, as well as the civilian, who stand
for righteousness, civic reform, and all
the things that help to make the world
a safer place to live in.
WEDNESDAY, THE EIGHTEENTH.
A full program followed the evening
mess on this date. Although the atmos
phere outside seemed rather chilly, a
large and appreciative audience, crowded
to the doors at. every entrance, and
standing on the counters and tables as
usual, greeted the well-trained Head
quarters Band, under the leadership of
Bandmaster Marat. No time was lost
when these num camo into the audito
rium. One piece after another was
played to the delight of all present, it
was a real, genuine concert, lasting more
than a half hour, after which one re<-l of
"A Suitable. Suit” was thrown on the
screen. The lights then being turned
on, Chaplain Harris G. Beck, of the
First Group, in Iris inimitable style, spoke
to the soldiers for fifteen minutes. Cur
rent events were given In connection.
Applause greeted the chaplain again and
again. The Band now struck up another
tune, and then "Some Job" was screen
ed, showing two reels. Popular airs
were interspersed throughout the even
ing. The musicians kept up their beau
tiful work bteween each reel. Several
reels of “World’s Bvents” were then
pictured which concluded the evening's
program. Every man in the vast audi
ence sat in his seat along with those
standing, until the last turn of the movie
lever was made.
THURSDAY, THE NINETEENTH.
On this evening an ideal mid-week
service was held that gripped the. entire
audience. L. S Thomas. the great
evangelist, who has just returned from
the Trenches, where he has been doing
“Y” work among the American soldiers,
was the speaker. While he was booked
for a religious address he did not hesi
tate In giving the benefits of his exp--.
rience to the big audience as well as
a clean-cut Gospel message, so that the
men went to their tents that night with
a lofty conception as to why America
entered the war anil why the <i ’forts
of her sons, as well as the sons of her
Allies, have been gloriously sum -ssful
in recent months.
"Men." declared the speaker, "are not
afraid of the Gospel of Christ; thev are
charmed by it and by what it means to
(he world in time of war as well as in
time of peace. They are eager to hear
it straight, and it doesn’t have to be
dished up under a camouflaged cur
tain.”

Notes from the Base Hospital
(By D. R. Horgan.)
Our Beau Brummel matches, who have
been trying to perforin the impossible by
attempting to retain the interest of more
than one of the fair sex. altogether am)
at. the same time has at last seen his
popularity at an end in at least one
quarter. Mat thought that the flu was
a good alibi for not keeping a date the
other evening, and informed the fair
maiden to this effect. But alas! he had
not counted upon said maidens calling at
the hospital to see him. Mat was out
at the time. He is now racking his brains
for a plausible explanation to make to the
lady He should have known belter, but
youth will have its fling and if it errs it
is generally, because it has not heeded
the word of older and wiser men.
Red Carrot hers and Shorty Mittel, two
of our old standbys, have departed for
home, amid joy and grief We miss the
cheer formerly dispensed by them in such
liberal volume. t’zar Silver is said to be
heart-broken over Short} 's departure..
Smith, who followed them by a tew hours, i
is said to be advising the capitalists of
the country as of yore. He continues to
grieve over his inability to retrieve Shorty
from his socialist e tendencies.
Classes in philosophy will continue to
meet in the vicinity of th- temporary
dmieile of Socrates Herr, until such time
as the members are acceptably philoso
phized. For tfie guidance of the new
comers, we beg to advise that said Herr
will be found at Bed 26. Any problems
they may have, will be speedily solved by
Socrates.
Blake and Gleason have moved to
Ward 31. We are not sure as to the rea
son for the move, but are led to believe
that the captain was prompted in hav
ing them transferred, by his d< -ire to
give a little time tc the other patients. It
is said that they had the captain working
so hard to facilitate* their discharges
that he found but little time to attend to
other matters.
Wardmaster Silver, more popular un
der the name of Czar Silver, is spending
a few weeks in New York The trip
was made necessary by the departure of
Shorty Mittel. The breaking of the
brotherly tie. caused Silver such a fit of
depression that it was considered neces
sary for him to take the trip, before ho
collapsed entirely Matthes is Ward
master pro-tempore. Ib* has tried to fol
low as closely as possible in Silver’s foot
steps. but his limited experience prob
ably enhances his efforts, as he is hardly
as able a despot as Silver.
Stevens, our able authorit} on military
law, is said to be anticipating a cal! f om
the adjutant general s office. i > aid in
solving the many problems that arise in
said office for solution. We think we
know the reason the A G. does not call
him. Steves interpretation of the law
is at variance so frequently with the
opinions of other, that it is probable that
the A. G. fears a clash from time to time
and fears that he would have to admit
Steve was right. You notice we said
probable.
Candidate Mountain, attorney and coun
sellor at law of Indianapolis, Ind., wishes
to advise his many clients that he will
be detained in Ward 12 for some time to
come. He is so busy advising his fol
low sufferers that he will not be ale io
handle outside matters, except between
the hours of 7 a, m. and 10 p. ni We
cheerfully recommend him to any per
son desiring to be convicted er losing a
Isuit at law
TRENCH AND CAMP
At the close of the address the speak
er made an appeal for decisions for |
Christian life. Me put the proposition
to the boys in the most convincing way,
which caused nearly two score men to
decide for the Christian life.
FRIWAY, THE THIRTEENTH.
The rain seems to bring the fellows
(away from their tents when not on duty
On t|jis night, drizzling as it was.,about
eleven hundred "Sammies'' packed the
house to the doors to greet the trio of
young ladies who had motored from
Warrenton, Georgia, to entertain at Y
232. It was a long way to Hancock,
but they got there. The trip was a most
enjoyable one. for the charming and
talented entertainers won the hearts of
every one present.
Mrs. Davis, of Warrenton, appeared as
a vocalist not a few times, with Miss
Allen, whose home is in Atlanta, as pian
ist Miss Allen also rendered service
i on the "ivories" with several soles. Miss
Beck of Texas, but now schooling in
! one of the colleges of Georgia, enter
i tained in a humorous way with a num
ber of recitations and anecdotes.
• Interspersed through the evening was
soldier talent. Sergeant Otto Heinrichs
rendered a piano solo, followed by Ser-
I gearit Haas. Several duets were then
presented by these two talented soldiers,
■ which brought loud applause.
Variety talent was the program of the
1 evening. Sergeant Woods, of the First
' Group, who is well known as a magi
cian. trickster, and whistler, gave a
' number of bird imitations, as well as im
itating the monkey, sawing wood. etc.
‘ As a whistler the sergeant has few
equals. With the accompaniment of
1 Miss Allen. Sergeant Woods whistled
i the tune of “Listen to the Mocking
Bird." also the chorus of “Strutters’
Ball. A slight-of-hand performer, in
civilian clothes, by the name of Mr.
Gibson, performed very cleverly.
j The program drew to a very happy
close when the announcement was made
■ that the apples would be served. Sec
’ retary Luessen, in his humorous style,
to the delight of his hearers, told a
’ number of funny stories. At this time
■ the apples were being handed out with
the assistance of the visiting trio, the
Misses Davis. Allen, and Beck, also Mrs.
Curtis, Mrs. Stevenson, and Miss Cobern,
lof the Army Y. M. C. .
SATURDAY, THE TWENTY-FIRST.
Movie night is always popular with
the boys Let them sit two or three
hours watching a good picture and you
will be satisfied that the buys had a
good time. The’question which is con
stantly asked by many of the boys is
this. 'Movies Tonight?" If the answer
is in the affirmative, a large crowd is
assured with the least possible effort.
Preceding the movies on this night
Secretary Lotissen led in a sing-song,
accompanied by Otto Heinrichs on the
Piano One of the best, show’s of the
season—-"In His Own Home Town,” by
Mr. Ince—-was screened. All thru the
performance, Mr. Forman, of the Head-
I quarters Band, played very appropri
ately in his easv style on the piano.
SUNDAY MORNING REGIMENTAL
SERVICE.
On Sunday morning Chaplain W. A.
Jenkins gave one of his characteristic
sermons on a Christmas topic, showing
how the Babe, born in the Manger at
Bethlehem, grew to manhood as a Gal
ilean peasant, after which, In a most
humble manner, projected his teaching
into the nations of the earth as to make
Him al thin time the commanding per
sonage of all ages who wants men to
come Into His service so that He may
impart into their being Ihe larger life
and reign supreme in the hearts of men.
Following this excellent sermon. Chap
lain Harris G. Beck led the Bible study
group along the same line The two
even’s made a profound impression on
al) who were present.
SUNDAY EVENING.
This service was very interesting.
The program was in charge of Chaplain
Jenkins. A song service preceded the
splendid constructive address by Dr.
A Haban. of the Army Y. M. C. Ant
Camp Hancock. A goodly number of
war roll cards were signed after a very
.•during appeal.
MONDAY, THE TW E NTY .THI RD.
k'or weeks the educational nights at
this hut have been of exceptional in
terest and profit, the program on this
evening being of tl • fcame high stand
ard. The attractions were the musical 1
’■ ’’lists. as welt as the speech by the
Build ng Secretary. Lieut, and Mrs. H.
R. Stevenson gave several numbers '
which were enthusiastically received, as ,
were likewise the solos of Mrs. Colonel .
Lee. wiih Miss Mirian Cobern as ac
companist. All of these artists will bp
most graciously received on return dates, !
if such can be arranged. ' 1
Judge Henry C. Hammond, who was
slated to give his lecture on "New
Ideals of American Citizenship," was 1
unable to meet th<> engagement so Sec- 1
rotary Harry Curtis was called to fill ,
the breach and gave before his own men
the lecture on "Patriotic Awakenings'’ 1
that has been so warmly received at
ally or informally.
The soldier-welfare committee of St.
John Methodist. Episcopal Church. Dr.
John S. Jenkins, pastor, with. Mrs
Edward Clark as chairman, will present
a program of unusual interest to all:
Popular airs Misses Rosalind and
Elizabeth Jenkins (with guitars.)

The latest order Issued by a council
of medicos for the guidance of Ward
Surgeons is considered a marvel of suc
cint ingenuity. It recites: "When in
doubt give C. C. pills.”
A wire from Ward 12’s sommander of
the fleet, at present, on furlough states
that he misses the egg-nogs and other
delicacies of the ward kitchen.
• “My Kingdom for a Bucket of Coal.’*
It was om* of those cold wet nights
with the wind blowing a gale that makes
one think the "Sunny South" misnamed
and the pleasing heat of the big /a rd
stone had died t<» zero when Private Solo
mon and one were elected to go for coal.
Horrible dictates! The coal box was
empty and a guard nipped the emissaries
in the act of filling their bucket at a cer
tain forbidden pile. It was a glorious
chase and ended in Private Solomon’s
hasty retreat under the sheets, clothes
and all unrcinoved. Courtmartial was
i imminent. Seignor Mountain, our Indiana
| lawyer, was to plead the little man’s
case. All were ready for the fray when
a settlement out of court was obtained
and announced by defendant’s brilliant
counsel. Private Solomon neglecting to i
emplox the wisdom of his Bibilieal proto
type could not restrain his exuberant gra- ’
titude and forthwith out of his bounteous!
munificence spent four dollars on nut ,
bars foi the boys and proceeded to I

JABS FROM THE FIRST
GROUP OFFICERS'MESS
Cook Instructor Chas. Roberta was
very much disappointed having his
student-cooks leave for New Vock,
when he had to remain. We wish it
were possible for horn to act as cook
on the troop trains, as we believe he
ran cook corn-beef without his dip
loma, which lie has framed and hanged
over the stove in his tent. Robert,
you will be home one of these days,
sooner or I"J er.
Sergeant Klein has not been able to
eat his own food for several days. He
is sorry he has to leave —not.
J. H. Broyles, known to his pals as
the 72-hour man, is still wearing the
cook garb. He is very good-natured
at that.
We will have to order a larger hat
for Cook Thrasher. He is now in
charge of the officers' mess.
We've got to hand it to Cook J. H.
Quinn for his good habits. Always on
the job—always ready with a smile.
We are sorry to see him leave for the
"sticks,"
If you want to seee K. P. Duffy in a
good humo come to the mess hall
while he is drying dishes. You will hear
him saying, "Peaches Down in Geor
git.” We wonder if this is the limit
to his musical vocabulary. Here one
of his own:
If something good you want to see.

Notes From Company
D, Group 2
Our first sergeant has been seeing
pretty much of Augusta lately, in com
pany with Sgt. Libby. Various ru
mors are afloat as to ‘the nature of
their visits. Anybody that can really
go to town so much and seemingly
find enjoyment, certainly is indured
to the discomforts of army life.
Why is it. that, every t mo the pass
list is posted on the bulletin board
Coke Bode has to affix 2:00 p. m. af
ter his name?
This company is very fortunate in
securing three sergeants from the
Cooks’ and Bakers' School. As a re
sult we had Pie’!!’ for dinner Sunday.
Truly it was a. wonderful day for us.
"Who’s got some candy?" says Corp.
Johnson.
First Sgt. Maloney has served notice ! |
that he absolutely refused to wear al
42 blouse.
Will somebody please explain to Pvt.
"Windy Woodtick" Utecht, that a real
loser loses more than a "jit."
Under exceptional circumstances. A
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year to all.
Songs—Connor Cleckley, "The Christ-
Child'' and "Silent Night." ?
