Camp Building opened.

With more than 400 soldiers present
the song service at r. M. c. A. building,
Sunday night. was the most interesting
that has been held since the building
opened. On account Of a number of
companies being quarantined, reducing
to about 1900 the men in that section
who are free to go about the canton
ment. the attendance at the meeting
was remarkable.
DR.. John s. Laird, religious secretary
of the building. gave an address on

top" can be interpreted in Other ways

the phrase Is used.

Music was furnished for the services

Judson j. McKim, camp general Sec-l

It was all the result of an alteration
between two Of the members of the

II appears that about Thursday noon
simmons surreptitiously returned q
towel which belonged to Portnoff to
supply. Sergt. Abrams. PortnoR pro-
tested 1T the hasty action, .whereupon
Sfffm0ns challenged him to deadly
combat. But, being almost mess time,
PortnoR. either not wishing to fight on
an empty stomach or not desiring to be
late Tor dinner, suggested that the
conflict be postponed. At this point
one Of the sergeants advised the bell
ligerents to settle their difficulties with
Stoves at $3.50. So 1t was decreed.
The coming battle was the chief topic
of conversation for the rest of the day.
The contestants carefully trained for
the combat. The rules against gam

bench and spoke as follows: when q

For instance, the tie you purchase for him here will prove his favorite and you will see it knotted under his collar more often than any tie in his collection.
