There is also a lively bunch of pros

Irish names in evidence there is no

is no more faithful school boy in the

10TH INFANTRY.

Under the careful supervision of Cap
tain C. 2. Futcher, chaplain, the fea-
lures of the open-air theater have been
quite successful especially the band
concerts, motion pictures and minstrel
shows held during the past week.
The American Eagle presented to the
regiment by it's friends in Philadel-
phia has been mounetd in Colonel
Browns tent and is a very appropriate
decoration and mascot of the "old
First"
The idea of the eagle was taken from
an example by regiment of volun-
teers from Pennsylvania during the
Civil War. That regiment never saw
defeat and the friends of the First
thought this regiment should have
such a mascot.
The soldiers leisure hour fund of
about 5000, which was raised in Phil
adelphia, has provided the regiment
with baseball outfits, soccer balls,
boxing gloves, quoits and other sport
ing goods. They are being put to good
use by the men of the regiment The
work of the Soldiers Leisure Hour
fund committee is very much appre
ciated.
Through Mr. Greenwald of the Stan
ley Corps, q trung of fifty reels of mo-
tom picture films has been received,
which enables Chaplain Futcher to
conduct shows on Wednesday and Sat
urday evenings. Films have also been
obtained through the courtesy of the

PARLEz- VoUs FRANCAIs? oUI on
NON?

The burning question of the hour:
When are we going over? The answer
seems to vary according to ones frame
of mind or access to supposedly relia-
BILE information. Another question of
equal Importance, although perhaps
overlooked should be: Can I speak
French?" The possibility of an attrac-
tive French maid for a teacher may
offer bewitching allurements to the
susceptible, but results may be hardly
commensurate with risks. Others may
hope to have recourse to the Indian
sign language to meet their needs. 1t
is a true but homeiy saying that "ali
signs fail in dry weather"
For this reason it is suggested that
officers and men take advantage OF
the French classes being formed by
the Y M. G.. A. In these classes the
fundamentals of the language will be
explained in order that the student
may continue by himself if he desires
It is hoped in this way to bring man
in touch with his environment some

FIRST HIKE GREAT SUCCESS.


On Saturday morning, the first prac-
tfce hike in Camp Hancock was under
taken most successfully by the 56th Brig
ing The Sixteenth. Eighteenth and
total of more than 5000 men and the long
column swung out of the camp and down
to Highland avenue, Augusta, thence up
Walton Way for a considerable distance,
where a by-road was taken through the
woods and fields and the return trip
made over the WrightsborO road to camp.
General Logan and all the officers and
men were diSmounted and with two ex-
ceptions every man finished in excellent
condition. This is highly commendable
when it is considered that fully rs per
cent of the men were green. Only %
per cent had been to the border and the
troops swung along the line of march with
the ease and steadiness of seasoned vet
Grams. 1t proved the thoroughneSS of the
mems physical training, for much of the
march was over rough and untrayel 81
roads
Upon the return to camp, the brigade
was reviewed by General Logan near
division headquarters. The troops left
camp at 9:45 and made the eight miles
in good time, returning at Has. The
men sang popular songs along the line
of march and the officers realize the need
of thorough coaching Of the men in sing
ing the late songs 1t inspires them and
makes the marching easy.
General Logan was delighted with the
splendid showing made by the troops in
tho DIVISIONS first practice march.

FIELD BAKERY.

Here we are! The Field Bakery,

Frank L. Mueller and which has en-
rolled 101 able men who will endeayor
to divert the minds of the soldiers of
the 18th Division from hard tack.
Still while this great uplift movement
is in progress we cannot forget our
second best ccomplishment-the sew
ing circle-which was called into an
extra session Friday afternoon to as
certain whether our president, Mrs.
McAninch, should or should not be
elected on the charge of neglect of
duty. The vote was 27 to in favor
of the epection so our roster is now
only 40, but we hope to increase our
membership shortly

1osRp FIELD SIGNAL BATTALION.

On Wednesday last the baseball team
representing &C" and "B" companies
locked horns in their initial contest of
the Camp Hancock season. The con-
test was freely advertised through the
battalion as being one with strenuous
possibilities, and there were some who
even formed the idea that "B," better
known as the old timers, were in for
a terrible beating
The real test on the field was some
what of a disappointment as "B" COM
pany, with quite a reversal of their
border form, came through with a
brand of play that brought home the
bacon to the tune of 10 to 3 in eight
innings. McCdbbeny started on the
mound for the Outposts and managed
to endure the bombardment for four
innings, retiring in favor of Law, who
was relieved by Brickley in the eighth.
Anderson went the entire route for the
wire pullers and was som what stingy,
three hits being the extreme limit of
his generosity.
The semi-weekly bareback circus
goes on apace, in fact, several PAGES at
a time, having passed into the critical,
or photograph stage. Some really hair
raising pictures of equestrian aero
batic have been taken, and if they
should happen to be published in the
future, it is a safe bet that Whitley
will not recognize himself under the
enormous pyramid of soldier acrobatS
f~stOoned on and about him. The
boys have attained such degree of
perfection in this interesting branch of
gymnastics that they are now able to
go through an entire performance with
scarcely word being said; a decided
improvement being noticed since last
Wednesday. All that is now required
to complete the enterprise is a Barnum
to make the name sound familiar.

PORTLAND, June Is.--One of the
most notable features of the livestock
trade at North Portland for the week
was the complete change in the cattle
market situation. Total run of cattle
for the week was comparatively light.
This in itself creates an excellent
rice situation.
