MILITARY ACTIVITIES
kEFT AT HIGH PITCH
Notwithstanding the fact thai sew
eIal thousands of the troops were away
from the cantonment on their bond
selling campaign. military activities
were carried on for the most part just
rs though they had been here. Es-
pectaily was this so with the regiments
OF Pennsylvania and West Virginia, for
which there were not such a large
number OF men who were granted
leave. But the Virginia regiments were
considerably depleted. which made
things sio.:-up to some extent.
One man was awarded a
crcyron to-day. He was Henry w
Rose, Of Ga North Twcnty-third Street,
d member OF Company F., OF the Three
Hundred and Eighteenth Regiment.
Captain John Crum made him a SER
ge.nt. Several other men in the same
cvmpany won appointments. as follows:
