After the performance n buffet supper
was served to the entertainers and the
few invited guests.
General Secretary A. E. Lawler re
turned from Atlanta after spending sev
eral days there, booking the moving pic
ture program for the month of January.
He has secured some new releases, which
will have their rst showings at the
Knights of Columbus buildings at Gamp
Hancock. The bookings are all for feat
ure lilms, which will star such well
known celebrities of moving-picturedom
as Alice Brady, Mab?l Normand, June
Eldvldge, Kitty Gordon. Ethel Clayton,
Marie Dressier, Carlyle Ulackwoll, Monta
gue Love, Johnny Hines, Wilton Lack
aye, Tom Wise. Robert Warwick, and
others. Pictures will be shown at Build
ing Number One on Sunday. Monday and
Friday nights, and at Building Number
Two on Sunday, Monday and Thursday
nights.
Notes of Building Number Ono.
Secretary Arthur A. McGuigan return
ed from a business trip, which included
Hot Springs, Little Rock, Arkansan.
Memphis, Tennessee; New Orleans and
Alexandria, Louisiana. He spent New
Year’s Eve In New Orleans, which, he
says, runs a close second to .New York
in its welcotm to the New Year. Mac
says he had BQME party--one of the sort
in which he shines. No details were
forthcoming, and the boys area 11 won
dering what kind of a party that was.
Secretary Wm. A. Gallagher was the
most important man on January the first
and second at Building Nmuber One,
holding down the job of general secre
tary while Mr. Lawler was in Atlanta
He had the assistance of the entire mem
bership of the Coffee Clvb b it was hap
py to relinquish his weighty responsibil
ity. After his experience as general sec
retary. Gallagher looks as though he had
added ten years to his ago ami lost
twenty pounds of avoirdupois. tt cer
atlnly Is a shame to make him work so
late in the evenings, giving him no chance
to catch up with his personal cotre
spondi-nce. How fortunate ar? the
Washington damsels receiving billet-doux
signed “W. A. G.”
Freddie n*»sel has quailed us a master

the union will be forthcoming. His work,
thawing the pipes after the freeze mi
Friday night, was much appreciated b>
McGuigqn, who has just returned from a
statu that Is nut dry, and also, Satur
day night Is "Bath Night." Some catas
trophe if Freddie had not been on the
job. By the way, Freddie, was it jou or
the bugle out of tune New Year’s Eve?
Several letters and a telegram have
been received from Secretary Thomas
Menehlon, en route to Camp Grunt. The
telegram was from Chicago, announcing
his arrival, but said nothing about his
return. We wonder if the night lifts of
the Loop District has tempted Pop.
Secretary Thomas J. Ruffin, who left
a week ago for Camp Dodge, |s still
among the missing. Afraid we will have
to organize a relief expedition to go to
his rescue.
"Curly” received his usual package of
"eats" from "The" one of the fair sex,
and as some of the other boys of the
Coffee Club suffer from hunger, too, they
would like to have her address. Surly
says, "Nothing Doing." Stingy I
Sergeant Gus Kuhnbaum will make his
exit from the Coffee Club next Tuesday,
when he will he discharged. The fair
haired maiden in New York will wait
ing to welcome the returning hero with
open arms. Gus claims that she is his
sister; a good story as Gus tell It. But
lay off. on this stuff- wo are all
from the North, for which we are thank
ful.
The Coffee Club, these cold evenings, is
the rendezvous of the secretaries and
"Regulars” at the Number One Building.
The membership is fast decreasing, as
everyone has the going- home habit.
Here s hoping the Chefs Butnam and
Murray will remain at Camp Hancock
indenitGly. They have been augmenting
their ropertotr of "oatß,"--even being
ambit lona Woleh-rareblt-warrl. The
memb-rs hope they will bo successful In
this new stunt, as a real rarebit those
cold evenings Is the tastiest morsel ever.
Building Number Two.
Secretary Tommy l>wan has finally re
ceived his overcoat, after many weeks of
anxious waiting. It is some classv coat,

At last Private Joe Cortege has been

At the dance Friday night, Secretary

Camp Hancock to Return to
Civilian Ranks
1 Lt. Col. G. B. Strickler, construction
quartermaster at Camp Hancock, has re
signed his commission in the army nnd

Os the thousands of army offict rs who
have been stationed fit Camp Hancock,
none is more popular than Col. Strickler.

exquisite silver pitcher as a token of
the esteem ip which he was held by the
community and there will be sincere re
gret among his many friends that he is
again tc leave Augusta.
WORK.; EARNEST
TO KEEP HANCOCK
A most enthusiastic meeting of Augusta
business and professional men was held
at the Masonic hall Monday night at
which camp matters were discussed in the
presence of forty or fifty prominent men.
After hearing statements from several
men who have recently been in Washing
ton. the conclusion was reached that Au
i gusta has a chance worth fighting for
; to have Camp Hancock made a permanent
army post, and it was decided that the
original camp canvassing committe should
make a canvass of the business interests
at once with a view of raising funds nec
essary to getting Camp Hancock advan
tages before the proper authorities.
One of the most encouraging addresses
made was that of Mr. James C. Jackson,
who was recently ip Washington and who
told of certain interests who have pledged
themselves to exert ■ v-rv effort to im
press upon the War Department the folly
of dispensing with the camp near Au
gusta.
Senator Lodge was talking about an
outrageous profiteer.
"The man is not typical,” h<> said. "If
he were typical then I’d despair. I’d
ijrrow as pessimistic as the middle-aged
: womagi.
"A salesman was selling a bedroom
clock to a girl.
‘1 recommend this clock with its il
luminating attachment to switch on." he
said. "It’s a very good thing to tell i

the girl.
" 'Oh. you will have some day,’ said
