NEW YORK-Four brigadier gener-
ais, four colonies, and a whole as
sortment of minor officers and privates
are helping Robert c. Culbon maintain
sports in Camp Gordon, at Atlana, Ga,
and they are having coolies of sue
cess.
Camp Gordon was one of the first to
send football team out to do battle
and the contonment presented an ex-
tra-ordinary gridiron machine. Varsi-
ty men by the dozens were encamped
at this southern resting place for SOL
diers and they responded we'll to
call for moleskin warriors
Cali athletic activities in the camp
must first be sanctioned by the gen
eral council" Culbon told the United
Press, land when approved orders are
given out to carry out schedule
throughout the camp. The Y. M. G. A.
has nine physical directors in the
camp. During the month of October
over 117,443 men used equipment of
the Y. NJ C. A. for athletics. A good
average for good sized city is $4,000, |
so you can see the tremendous interest |
there is in athletics in this camp. Pro-
ceeds from the football teams are |
used to purchase athletic equipment
for every company in the division.
when this camp opened in Septem
Der the men sent here were from Ten
nessee, Georgia and southern Alabama
and about the only support they were
with was baseball. Re-
Gently this division has been recruited
rom New England states, New York,
new Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mary
and, and the group, as whole is con-
with all forms of athletics
Vow boxing, football, basketball and
soccer are about evenly divided for
irst attention.

John j. Pershing has turned man-of-
business. Had to when his country
handed him the job of managing the
biggest enterprise in American history
military and commercial.
General Pershing's grocery store
alone dwarfs the biggest wholesale
grocery to the size of crossroads
store
His transportation problems make
those of any private concern look like
ehildrens' play with a string of clock
work choo-choo cars.

And these are only two divisions of

His employees will be numbered not
by thousands but by millions as the

carried out to the full And we are
proceeding on the assumption that the
war will go ON to a military decision

A business firm breaks into the Sun
day papers if it distributes real ben
efits to its employees over and above
their pay.
With the Boys All the Way
Pershings responsibility to his boys /
only begins with their pay. Feeding
is a day-to-day job. We must clothe
them, make soldiers of them, arm
them, provide perfection of surgical /
care when they are wounded. And
when a Sammy from home makes the
supreme sacrifice General Pershing
the soldier, sees that as far as the
permit, that Sammy
receives an honorable burial, the sol
dier's due.
The further you follow the parallel
Of Pershing's firm and the big bust
ness house, the smaller becomes the
private concern.

HOW AMERICAN SOLDIERS
HUSTLE ON OTHER SIDE

The army must unload the ships. II
must furnish all Transportation and
storage. Cold storage must be found
for perishable foods.
Army Had to Build Docks
The army had to build docks to ac-
commodate bigger ships than had ev-
er come into these ports before Store
houses and barracks were quickly pro-
jected and laid out Railroad yards
were put in so that the docks could be
quickly cleared to make room for
more ships. To do these things
Pershing had to import labor.
The ports lacked unloading mach
inery4cranes, engines, light railways
There was no use trying to make
shift with the appliances of the old
days. Pershing had to get big men
to head the departments and they are
doing their tasks under his general
direction.
Food and Clothing Depot
Transportation problems don't end
with the unloading of the ship We
had to have big food and clothing de-
pot, a medical supply base and an
aviation center

A Little More GRAY

All this goes on under the SQUARE
built, solid soldier-man, John j.
Pershing, who never was trained to
bulld sea-ports, run grocery or make
new railroads out of old. He tackled
the job because his superior said
there's the work-go to it," His
temples, already shot with gray, have
grown little grayer; his determined
face seems to have few more wrin-
kles. But that indomitable square law
still means the same to those who meet
him-force, courage and, as an old
time Sammy said today, the belly for
a fight"

Picks Biggest Men

The quartermaster had too big a
load under the new emergencies in
France. General Pershing examined
the situation and made a new depart
ment-the department of transport
ton. He picked one of the biggest
railroad heads in America to boss this
section. Now the quartermaster mere
ly distributes food and clothing to the
troops. The transportation department
takes over the complicated task of car
rying it to the men in billets, training
schools or trenches.
The engineers also were overburd-
ened. So Pershing made another d.
vision of the work. Hereafter the
transportation department must do
all construction work necessary for
the transport of supplies or men.
Yes, business is fine, thank you, un-
der John J. Pershing, "Black jack"
soldier and business man.

DRIVE ON BRITISH LINE HALTED.
Gen. Hais Saves Front In Spite Of
Terrific Raid by Germans.


With the British Army in France,
Dec. 5.-The Germans evidently have
stopped their tactics of sacrificing
men in an effort to break through the
British lines near Cambria. The Lon
don report says. however, the success
of the enemy in gaining footing at
two places is minimized by the
achievement of the British in hating
the attempted advancs. The Germans
still claim the capture of 5000 men
and 100 guns around Cambria, but the
British war office says the number OF
captured prisoners on each side is far
in excess of that figure.
The expected drive of the Austro-
Germans In Italy has not begun, but
1t is believed new infantry operations
will begin as soon as the weather
clears little.
On the Aisne and Meuse fronts the
French and Germans are continuing
their artillery duels; but no infantry
moves are recorded.

British and the Turks for the posses
