Our week has been one of various &C
tivities: Monday night we had a crowd
of young negro boys give an entertain
ment which the soldiers enjoyed i'm
mensely. The performers too were
pleased with the generosity of the SOL
diers, Git was payday, ana requested
an early return engagement.
BY laying special wires zee were able
to give our motion picture shows Tuesday
and Friday in the new building. The
soldiers are just as anxious as the secre-
taries to see it completed The car
penters have almost completed their
work and the electricians promise us
light this week By special arrangement
our building is to have a veranda on the
west side overlooking the drill grounds
From this front of vantage one can
watch the soldiers drill or see the games
on the grounds nearby. The secretaries
are now occupying their quarters in the
new buiuing
Our program Wednesday evening by
Augusta talent, under the direction of
Mrs, Brand, was one of special interest
to the soldiers. Among other musical
numbers was one by a small girl dressed
| in patriotic C0iors. Her stirring songs
caught the soldiers fancy. A stringed
quartet from the Military Police Head
quarters made it's first appearance and
was wei received.
Saturday evening our physical director
staged the first of a series of boxing
matches. There were three interesting
bouts by men from the 10TH.
Sam Berarde of the 112th would like to
meet any wrestler in the division weigh
| ing $50 lbs. Arrangements should be
made with Bell or Paris, Co. I, 10TH.
Teams for basketball and football are
being organized to prepare for regimental
league race that promises to Guido the
worlds series for interest and enthusi-
asm.
Company B. 112th, has received fine
looking new football uniforms from Mead
vile. Pa,
This week will be a continuous moving
day. The old 18th. now the 111th, will
receive 1875 men and 81 officers from
the 9Th. The old 10th, now the 10th,
and the old 10th, now the 112th, will each
| receive a similar number from disbanding
regiments. This will increase our brig
AIDE to over 10000 men.
| A quartet composed Lieut.. McCluskey,
Surra. Tebbs and Hause sang at the regi-
mental service Sunday morning.
Since the trenches have been dug and
camouflage spread about it is difficult
walking at night near our building. One
of our secretaries, after recent expert
ence, thinks he knows what they mean
when they say, lover the top"
The men who were running the ''old
army game" in the woods near the path
on the way to town. found out that the
army didn't approve of gambling. These
men, soldiers from one of the regiments
nearby, were arrested and marched off
| to the guard-house a day or two ago,
much to their surprise and disappoint-
ment. They had however reaped a
harvest from the soldiers around payday
Perhaps that is why men were so anx-
ious to get money orders to send home
1t is a common expression that if the
money doesn't go home the first day it
doesn't go at all,
Our religious work director, Rev. Reid
S. Dickson, of Lewistown, Pa, spent the
week in New York. AS result of a
conference there with members of the
War Work Council, Mr.. Dickson will soon
sail for France to engage in association
work there. In the short time he has
been here Mr.. Dickson has opened many
promising fields of activity. He has
made many warm personal friends among
the officers and men who will learn with
regret of his early departure from camp.
