THAT ELK PARTY
WAS SOME AFFAIR

The Elks that have been in the ha-
gathered in the ball room of the Mayer
hotel Saturday night and sat at a
banquet that is still lingering in their
memories.
When the herd got together there
were about forty stamping on the fes-
tive lot and they gleefully tossed their
antlers and made playful attempts to
gore each other in friendly manner.
Goodfellowship was prevalent through
out the evening, as 1t always is where.
ever there is a member of that frater-
nifty. The ball room was gay and bril-
liant and the tables that covered the
floor were loaded with things 10 make
good cheer.
DR.. c. w. West was toastmaster and
the various members were called upon
to make remarks on different subjects
OF current interest. The Elks won't
tell just who made the speeches and
what they said but it Is gathered from
spo eches were made. This shows that
under the surface of mirth there was
solemn vein in the meeting, proving
that those members are thoughtful
citizens. Each Elk wore q cap with
antlers projecting upward, and as they
sat at the tables, which were ar.
ranged with military precision on the
floor, the scene was one of a vast herd
Of noble Elk.
Before they departed for the night
(or morning) each one signed a regis
ter, giving the place where his lodge
is located. This register Is kept in
the possession OF VIM. Mayer of the
Mayer hotel. Following Is the list:

COMMANDER 28th DIVISION

Christmas is with again-the happest,
hottest day of all the year-the day that brings
gladness and Joy into human lives in Christian lands than

For almost 1000 years, the Christmas spirit has

there is great concerted effort to bring happiness and
joy into the world The murderous slaughter in Eu-
rope and Asia is abnormal growth the life of the
nations, which when removed, will restore purged
and purified and exalted in ideals of service
than before.
AS we gather about the table, thoughts

far away to the friends back home and we may feel
assured they will be thinking of u.s., and through the
ether there will come to their of good cheer
of remembrance of future that shall sanctify
the day in this crucial moment of our history

MONDAY, TUESDAY,
WEDNESDAY, HOLIDAYS
Captain Baker, of the British
Army, Introduces Application
of Masks. Sixteenth Week Of
Training Begins.


The approaching holiday season finds
the men of the Twenty Eighth Division
about to enjoy period of well-earned
rest and recreation from the intensive
training to which they have been sub
jected since their first steps in Camp
Hancock. From the splendid exhibit
tions on all sides, it can be seen that
the men are moving nearer the goal
of perfection steadily, and without ex
ception, results have been more than
gratifying to the energetic officers who
have spared no effort, in this purpose.
With the coming of their sixteenth
week of training, the Artillery Brigade
under General Price will have covered
we'll defined course of range work,
having demonstrated their qualifica
tions in that direction before their
practice ceased.
Many of the Infantry units have had
several days practice on the rifle range
and the spirit displayed by all hands
promises the closest margins in the
final tally. The men have been i'm
pressed with the Importance of their
piece, and have taken hold with de-
termination to win.
Under the supervision of Captain
Baker of the British Military Mission,
several Of the units have been intro
6uceo to the novelty of applying the
| masks which are such necessary part
of trench warfare. This work will be
continued for several weeks.
Probably the most spectacular ex-
hibitions Of bayonet practice were given
at the reservoir last week under the
direction of Captain Ryan of the Brit
ish Mission. The men are learning the
new drill in splendid fashion. and are
perfecting themselves rapidly.
The Infantry regiments, under the
Division Engineer Officer, have com
be put in practical use in the execu-
tion of the program for the future.
Considerable practice was had in the
building of bridges and in reconnofs-
sance work.
During the past few days. the men
of the Fled Hospital have done some
clever work pitching and removing the
hospital tents to various parts of the
drill ground of the Sanitary Train.
The men struck one of the large tents
and stored it on the wagon in exactly
eight minutes.
The Field Signal Battalion enjoyed
some unusual work in field signaling
while attached to the artillery brigade
on the range.
The new units arriving in camp are
quartered on the site of the former
55tl Infantry Brigade. a number of
the men are in quarantine for obSer-
walton purposes.
Major General Muir has ordered that
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday be
observed throughout the Division as
holidays, with the dropping of all work
except that which is absolutely essen
tial The government has arranged
that each man in the Division shah
have not less. than one pound of tur-
key, with all the other accompanying
delicacies, for his Christmas dinner.
Many Of the mess halls have been
beautified for the occasion.
The Christmas message Of Major
General Muir will be found elsewhere
in this issue.
