Y M. {. AS ARMY
BRANCH AT FORT SCREVEN
Officers Appointed by Directors of the Savan
nah Association

At a recent meeting of the board
Mems Christian Association the fol-
lowing officers were appointed for their
army branch at Fort Screven: Chair
man, Sergt. NJ. T. Simpson; vice chair
son, Private R. E. Thornton, and secre-
tary-treasurer, Corpl A. L. Laurensen.
The army secretary at the post is
Mr.. r. NJ. Mitchell, who was a few
nonkhs ago called to that position by
he Savannah association. Mr.. Mitch
IL has had valuable training as a
christian worker, and since going to
Fort Screven has rendered valuable
service to the men at the post.
Sergt. Simpson, the new chairman,
is from the One Hundred and Sixteenth
Company, and is highly thought of
both by the officers and men. He is
is vice president of the social club,
and holds an important Office with the
Army and Navy Union. Previous to
enlisting in the army he was interested
in the Epworth League. He is a
Georgian by birth and has the conf
dence and esteem of all who know
him.
Private Thornton, vice chairman, is
from Texas, and is in the Fifth Com
pany. His genial manner has won
for him many friends He holds the
position of superintendent of the Sun
day-school at the post.
Corpl. Laurensen, the newly appoint
ed secretary-treasurer, succeeded
Corpl. Jackson, who resigned. He is
from the One Hundred and Sixteenth
Company, and has since the associa-
ton started at the post taken deep
interest in the work. His sterling
character has made its impression
upon his fellow soldiers.
The work of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association at Fort Screven has
had it's ups and downs. always labor
ing at great disadvantage on account
of it's inferior quarters, caused by the
crowded conditions al the post. Col.
Anderson, the commandant of the
post, appreciates the value of such
an organization for the men, and Is
willing to do all in his power to fur
Their the association cause. He is anx
ious to make the social life at the
post as attractive as possible for the SOL
diers, and in this all of the officers
cooperate.
The recently issued order OF Secre-
tary of War Taft directs that permits
sion be granted the army Y. M. c. A.
to establish it's work at the various
posts in the United States, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and that COM
handing officers facilitate the efforts
of the association to provide helpful
physical, intellectual and unsectarian
religious influences, to provide suita-
bile quarters, if available, in the new
Post Exchange buildings for which an
appropriation of $1,500,0O0 has already
been granted. While this order gives
the association quarters at the most
available point where soldiers will meet
for recreation, it does not place it in
charge of the Post Exchange building
nor has the association sought to Sc
cure this. The order is practically
the same as that issued by the de-
partment in October, 1899, under which
The Savannah morning news., 1904-04-17

some eighty rooms or buildings have
been provided at the various posts by
commanding officers for the army as
ISOLATION work, and which Is now con-
Quoted at an expense of over 900 a
year. This order will give the aSso-
citation a far larger opportunity of
service to the enlisted man. Many
officers have been strong in it's advo-
Cacy. Chaplain Randolph says: I'VE
gladly welcome the associations as
sistance." Chaplain Groves states:
"There is a kind of work the associa-
ton can do for the soldiers that no
one else seems able to do as we'll" A
secretary is provided, but the soldiers
carry forward the activities, and no
sectarian bias is recognized. A re-
turning officer from the Philippines
stated that 1t was his deliberate judg-
ment that the association had saved
many lives in the islands by helping
soldiers TO overcome the terrible men
tai depression which often attacks
them far away from home.
The Fort ScreVen branch provides
the men with a nice reading room sup
piled with papers and magazines; a
library of over 100 very fine books, pre-
scented by Miss Helen Miller Could
part of a circulating library, these be-
ing sent on every few months to an
other post ana anOIner DOX Delrg re-
ceived in their place. They have also
ping-pong, carroms, checkers, croki-
mole, etc, for the amusement of the
men, and entertainments are provided
from time to time. A zonophone also
helps to make the time pass pleasantly.
Writing material is also furnished the
members. An organ has recently been
given to the association by Savan-
nah gentleman, and around this al
most nightly a goodly number of the
men gather to sing songs, and once a
week the men gather for a religious
service 1t is the purpose of Mr.. Mitch
ell to get some prominent Savannah
men to go down from time to time
and address the enlisted men. The
membership dues to the army branch
are only 50 year, and it also entities
a member to the full privileges of the
Savannah association.

VISITING COUNSEL
ARGUE IMPORTANT CASE.
Railroad Case Occupied Entire Time
of Judge Cann.

Railroad Case Occupied Entire Time
of Judge Cann.
Practically the entire session of the
Superior Court yesterday was occupied
by the arguments of counsel in the
demurrer filed in the suit of the At
lanta and Birmingham Railroad
against the Southern Pine Company
OF Georgia.
The case involves more than $4,000
Action is brought against the defend
ants because of alleged failure to
erect a sawmill between Nichols and
Douglas of a cutting capacity of 90
900 feet daily, and for alleged fall
ure to ship their lumber over their
line at freight rate as stipulated in
the contract.
The demurrer to the bill is a very
lengthy one, attacking the bill for in
sufficiency on many grounds. The
most interesting is that the contract
for a guaranteed freight rate, being
IN violation of the laws of interstate
commerce, and the rulings of the Rail-
road Commission, is illegal, and the
plaintiffs should. therefore, be stopped
from proceeding upon it.
The reading of the bill, the demur-
rers, both special and general, and the
argument of counsel, occupied the en-
tire time of the court until its adj
journment at $3.50 o'clock. There is a
strong array of counsel on each side,
a number of visiting attorneys being
here.
Messrs. King, spalding & Little OF
