THE CONFEDERATE
REUNION.

The Annual reunion of Camp
Yates was held here Thursday
and Friday of last week. A
splendid attendance of the vet
erans and their wives were pres
ent although the decision TO
have reunion this year was
made the week previous.
Owing to the shortness of the
notice of the reunion the COM
mittees could not make the
arrangements necessary for the
proper entertainment of these
old veterans, and it was imposs-
ible to secure speakers from
distance. We are sure however
these old fellows and their
wives had good time anyway
sitting around and recountlng
the stirring events of the sixties.
At the business session K. d.
Gamblin was reelected com
mander, J. II. Sanford, Lieut..
Com. and f. NJ. Ross Adjt. A. q
Gamblin and j M. Smith were
elected as delegates to the state
, reunion with w I'll. Walker and
j ID Cox as alternates. Before
adjournment the following reso-
htions were passed unanimous
ly.
We the old soldiers of Camp
Yates are now at the close of
another and our most enjoyable
reunion, and in parting we de-
sire to tender our hearth cit
thanks and appreciation for the
courtesies and genial hospital
ity shown US by the good people
OF Philadelphia. Since we have
been in our reunion we fully
realize that nothing conld have
been done BY you to have made
us more happy and contented
during our stay in your little
city. We desire to tender you
our big appreciation of the kind
feelings and devotion to US as
manifested by your labors in
our behalf. We shall ever cher
ish in our memory the kind
hearted and welcome reception
you have given us and the many
deeds of kindness and loveshown
us the past two days. We de-
sire to thank the general arrange
ments committee for planning
out our stay with you that has
left out nothing for our welfare
and comfort.
To the ladies and gentlemen
who were so faithful in looking
after our wants at mealtime we
wish to extend to you our spec
ial thanks as we'll as all others
who had charge of the mess
hall. We thank the young ladies
who took part in the night exer-
cises and we wish to especially
thank the program committee
for making such well arranged
program for our entertainment
and desire to thank the differ
ent speakers who so kindly ad-
dressed us during this reunion.
We will now say farewell and
if we never have the pleasure
! of meeting you in the capacity
of the Old Soldiers Reunion, it
is our parting prayer we will
meet again where we will have
one everlasting reunlen. rdIe-
well. Long live the people of
Philadelphia.

THE MOTHERS WHO
ARE LEFT BEHIND.

Many of our boys have gone
on that long uncertain journey
that will end in the trenches Of
France. Others are waiting the
call that will send them after
the ones VINO are already in
camp.
Much has been written of the
boy, OF the opportunities unfold
ing before him, of his dangers
and of his prospects for doing
great things. In this first impul
Sc to keep the boy in the pub
lie eye we have been forgetful
of the mother who is left behind.
From an Omaha woman, Mrs
Jennie Lewis, the World Herald
has received a letter that every
young man who is going to war
or who has started will do well
to read and think about. This
is what the mother writes:
"Much has been written to and
about the boys who are giving
Iup so much for our country
| would like to say a word to
those boys about the mothers
who are left behind !; mothers
whose hearts are almost break
ing; mothers who are near the
border, mothers you may never
see again, mothers who would
give their life for you. You are
going to leave that mother.
Have you left an ything undone
that would make life aud mem.
ory Of you, all they should BEL
Remember it may be your last
chance to grant some wish IL
may be the last she will ever ask
lof you. Save that mother - " Y
the sad thoughts you can and
save your own heart from aca-
ing as well.'
When the official notice comes
that the unit must entrain all
is excitement. The future is
full of thrills. Thoughts are cen
tered upon the events that are
yet to come. To the boy the
keen sense of exhileration over
comes the heartache that will
probably come later. The boy
is leaving home he is going to
the front, he will soon be in the
midst of wars activiti es. He is
hogeful, buoy confident and
excited.
But the mother how different
it is with her. There stretches
before her a future of empty
days. Her boy has gone. Even
in the midst of patriotic prepar-
alton the mother can not still
her fears or reconcile herself
fully to the sense of sacrifice.
The boy does not think erious-
ly of this. He is filled with am
bilious aspirations. He pays
but little heed to sthe present.
His thoughts are elsewhere.
Perhaps the boy is forgetful
of the fact that this mother bore
him, she Graded him in his baby
hood, she reared him as a youth
and now she gives him to his
country ar a man.
If our boy is forgetful today. he
will find out that there will come
time when, far off, lonesome
and bomesick, in the midst Of
hardship and facing great dan
ger, there will come a flood Of
emotions inspired by the thought
of the mother he left behind.
After all it is the one who re-
mains at home who always feels
the pang OF separation most keen
ly and today our sympathy is
with that dear self-sacrificing
mother who after years of patient
watchfullness gives her boy to
his country. --Commerclal APP

and could, if necessary, assemble 1al ge fleets for emergency use. This ". III probably not be done, however, as It is thought best not to disturb eXiStiLks business any more than is absolutely necessary
 Tn addition to the trucks required by the transport division, the signal ' corps will require machines with spe- 1 cial bodies and devices for their pecu- liar needs such as trucks for field ] wireless stations, airplane and balloon conyeyors. etc In the surgeon gen. | erals department, where many hun ! dreds of ambulances will be required, ! I understand that for the sake of eff :. ficiency in their operation and main- 1 tenance, these will be confined to but two or three different makes, for which orders have already been placed The miscellaneous uses to which trucks and cars will be placed are too num- erous to mention For an interesting, concise and authoritative summary of the part played by automobiles, trucks and airplaneS in the war, let me Sug- gest that you refer to an article in the National Service Magazine for May, 1917, called Mechanical Transport in Modern Var by Major Palmer F.. Pierce, member of the general staff of the United States army.
 "The next question is how the war will affect the demand for trucks for commercial requirements. In spite of the upheaval in almost every normal activity in business due to this world crisis, the normal demand for trucks, it seems to me, will continue and be augmented during the var at least, and probably for a considerable period
 
 tors Among the causes contributing to the increased demand are the fol- lowing:
 q General business activity throughout the country including in creased output of war materials. As prompt and dependable deliveries are important trucks will be sought more
 than ever to supplement present
 methods
 70 Shortage of Horses. According to statistics compiled by the National City bank of New York, there are ap- proximately 100000, 900 horses in the world. of which about one-third are in Russia and one fifth in the United States The Russian supply by reason of war conditions is almost wholly un available, except, for her own armies Hence our Allies have been obliged to draw upon us for their requirements. Since the beginning of the war about | g.. 900 horses and mules have been eX- | ported per month to the Allies In addition to this drain on our domestic supply. it is estimated that eleven 1 thousand a month will be needed to 1 keep our flag advancing as fast as the 1 others A military authority in Wash 1 ington told me that approximately 5,l- l 900. 900 horses and mules had teen
 killed thus far in the war It requires i but little effort of the imagination to foresee that the effect of this shortage ! of draft animals will noticeably in- ! crease the demand for motor trucks as i a substitute.
