SOLDIERS INTERESTED '
IN MERCHANT MARINE
AND SHIP YARD JOBS
More than 300 applicants have applied
during the past week at the office of
the t'nited States Shipping Board, at
the camp in th building next to the
pos toss ice.
Ren informs tic n relative to employ-
• ment Loth in the shiplards and in (he
i m< rchnn' marine is furnished to the
nun nboii* to be lischarged. While no
Jobs are dispensed, as the office Is not in
fact, an employ rne r t bureau, still a rec
ord of .h< nuri is taken and the central
office of the dumping board, is notified.
Th- boa id notifies the shipyards near
est the man’s horm .as well as the offic< s
of the merchant marine at some neigh
boring port, and as soon as a varan' v
or oppm tunij < . sis for the applicant he
gets his n«>i4H'\t ion directly from the
agency Mhicl las employment for him.
Due to tic, nut hot . zed increase in the
shipbuilding ptcgiam of the (.’nited
States, intt rest ha , keen increased in the
shipyard industry, as well as the vast
merchant merino fleet which will sail the
seven seas flying th- Stars and Stripes.
Representatives of the merchant ma

to furnish the me i with any details re

rle nru-’-’b’i'ii murine offers a chance
to see the world. Besides giving the
men of the sea the chance to return io
their former work on board a ship, the
marine will train men desirous of work
ing on a ship. There is a great oppor
tunity of seeing the world, for the mer
chant marine will see that the men are
shipped to a different port on each trip.
Beside, the men will also be paid while
taking the training course on board the
training ships.
There is no obligation. The men do
not have to accept the jobs offered them '
through the shipping board. But placing
their name upon the records puts them '
in the position of receiving the various 1
offers from the numerous firms. The
shipping board, because of its great ac
tivity apd its start on a campaign of
rapid expansion, will give the discharged
man a better chance of getting rapid
employment than other fields, for the
need for workers in both the shipbuilding
and merchant marine fields is growing
daily.
I WEEKLY DANCES FOR
MEN OF MACHINE
GUN SCHOOL
Following the lead of the Victory
Hop. the formal dance given last week,
the officers of tlie Machine Gun
School inaugurated a series of informal ‘
weekly dances in the Knights of Co- I
luinbus building at the west end of
Pennsylvania Avenue by holding a 1
most enjoyable party at the same place
Wednesday evening.
The Machine Gun Band, under the
leadership of Band Beader Streek,
making its first appearance, as an in
dependent organization, rendered ex
-1 cellent music and the school is right
proud that it has a good band leader'
and band of its own. The floor was
in excellent condition for the dancing
of the preceding week and the attend
ance was just sufficient to fill the
building without crowding. For many
officers, who are awaiting discharge, I
this was a farewell. For those offi
cers who are to stay and carry on this
affair was a promise of social devel
opments which will make their fur’b. r
stay at Camp Hancock more pleasant.
Col. Geo. .1. Holden, commandant of
ti e Machine Gun School, has ordered I
that these dances shall conform to mil- ‘
itary rules, namely that they shall '
start promptly at 8 p. m. and stop
promptly at 11 p. m.. to the end that
the ladies attending may be returned
to their homes in Augusta at area- :
sonable hour and that officers mav re- :
turn to camp by midnight, in accord- i
ance with camp regulations, and get '
sufficient rest to fit them for the du- 1
ties of the succeeding day. An ex- |

Machine Gun School Now
Reorganized on Peace Basis
The Machine Gun School has now been
reorganized o carry on its specialized In
struction upon a peace basis. The great
school in which thousands of men re
jci ived an intensive course in machine
gun training, has consolidated all of the
specialties of the school and retained as a
nucleus instructors in the various fields
in preparation for the possible expansion
of the school.
Those branches in th*' different, spec
ialized lines, such as gas. liaison, gre
nades. automatic rifles, equitation, etc.,
in addition to machine gun work, which
now have been centralized into the
school have been incorporated into the
permanent course of instruction at the
machine gun school.
The present organization of the school
now includes two model companies, aA
well as equipment for a cavalry troop.
There Is now a motor machine gun com
pany and an infantry company, and in
connection with the infantry, the person
nel will be trained for cavalry as well
as infantry drill with machine guns.
From the school there has been re
leased almost all the personnel under
training, and upon the completion of the
SOLDIERS DISCUSS
WEIGHTY QUESTIONS
AT OPEN FORUM
Alive to the interests of the Jewish
men in (’amp Hancock, the Jewish
Welfare Board Thursday night ar
ranged for an open forum at which
questions of vital interest in Jewish
The principal question for discussion
was the American Jewish Congress,
which convened at Philadelphia this
week. The keen interest of the Jewish
soldiers in matters which ordinarily
are of secondary importance to sol
diers separated by many miles from
the life pulsating with Jewish inter
ests was manifested by the intelligence,
with which these questions were dis
cussed.
; The opening address was made by
I Dr. Leon Spitz, camp Babbie, who
presided. After briefly reviewing con
ditions in Jewish life as they now ex
ist, he introduced as the first speaker
Corp. Morris Margulies, of the camp
personnel office. Mr. Margulies, who
hails from New York, was elected a
delegate to the congress from the
tthrd congressional district, which has
as its reepreseentatives at the con
gress. among others, such men as Ja
cob H. Schiff and Nathan Strauss, re
ceiving a vote only second to that of
Nathan Straus, who is often spoken
of as the foremost Jew in the world.
As one actively associated with the
movement from its very inception, he
gave an historical survey of the con
gress. His address breathed with the
nationalistic spirit of the Jewish youth
whom he was to represent at the con
gress. When speaking of the Palestine
Resolution adopted at the congress, he
said: "It is with a sense of deep re
j gret that I must say that circumstan
■ ces made it impossible for me to be
' present at the congress when the his-
• toric resolution for the creation of a
national Jewish homeland in Palestine
was adopted. American Jewry has ris
en to the historic height of an equally
historic monument."
Mr. Margulies was followed by Pri
vate Glassman of the Ordnance, who’
spoke on the congress from the point |
i of view of the Jewish radical nation- I
! alist. Sergeant Joseph Freifeld spoke
at length on the philosphy of J>. wish |
nationalism which is now permeating !
’. Jewish life throughout the world. |
Jewish nationalism, he said, unlike the i
, nationalism of all other peoples, has ‘
| been fostered on strange soil. This was ;
the acid test of the idealism of Jewish 1
nat onalism.
Following, Private Meyer W. Weis- ;
gal was called upon to introduce a res
olution of protest against the mas- j
sacres of the Jewish population in Po
! land and in Galicia. In introducing
: his resolution. Mr. Weisgal said: “It
s a tragic historical coincident that
the Jewish congress idea should have
been born at a time when Jewish blood 1
was reeking throughout Russia and!
, Poland; and that now when the Jew- :
j ish congress is convened the tragic lot!
jof our people is even worse. The |
• atrocities practiced against the Jewish
I population in Poland and in Gal cia i
j are indescribable. Thousands of help-
I less men. women and children have
been murdered in cold blood."
The resolution which was adopted
after considerable discussion and with
an amendment to the original draft as
drawn up by the mover, was forward
eed telegraphically to the American
Jewish congress, the Zonist organiza
tion of America, and the Jewish Wel
fare Board. The resolution reads:
"We, American Jewish soldiers, in
meeting assembled on Thursday night.
December 19, 1918. at the Jewish Wel
fare Building, Camp Hancock. Ga..
join American Jewry in protest against
the horrible atrocities committed by
present field class, there will only re- ‘
main eighteen officers, who are recent i
graduates from West Point Military Ac
ademy.
The school has now been cut down to a
total of 60 officers and 500 men. The plan
for the. future working of the school has
been worked out. and with the efficient
personnel which Is maintained to carry
on the executive and instructor work, the
school will be prepared to carry on its
comprehensive scheme of training ma
chine gunners in connection with the re- _
organization of the army on the peace
basis.

CHRISTMAS DINNER
AT CAMP SOMETHING
TO LOOK FORWARD TO
Mess sergeants are already coaching
the K. P’s. as to how to serve that
sumptuous v hristmas dinner.
According to rumors, the Christmas
feast will outrival that of Thanksgiv- -
ing. And all the hoys will admit that
that was sure "some feed." ;
The Christmas handout is going to
be all to the merry- Merry Christmas.
Talk about good things to eat, why
each of the mess sergeants is busy ar
ranging a menu that will make the
boys wonder why Christmas doesn't
come more than once a year.
But this year’s Christmas, now that
the war is over and the boys are out
of the trenches by Christmas, is going
to set down by the fellows as the best
ever, so far as that special dinner is
concerned. ‘Mr. Hoover is away in
Europe, and anyway he left word to
slip the men in the army “swell eats."
All you have to do is bring yourself
and your appetite. There will be plenty
to eat, and plenty of variety. That
camp Christmas dinner is going to be
right in keeping with the Christrmas _
cheer.
Os course there will be turkey there.
There will be a whole army of tur
keys. More than 30,000 lbs. of this
juicy bird will be on the table d’hote
for Camp Hancock, and., that means
more than 2,400 turkeys.
In addition there will be—oh. there
is no use giving it away. Just don’t
miss that mess call, and be sure to be
on hand. It certainly will be worth
your while.
