OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP,

The announcement that an Off
GERS training camp would be held
at Camp Meade beginning some
time in January has aroused great
interest among the men, for it will
give those who really deserve
commissions an opportunity to
win them.
There are many soldiers at this
cantonment who will make Off
GERS of the highest type. 1t was
in realization of this fact that the
War Department decided to have
a training camp for that purpose
at Meade.
Applications for entrance to this
camp will be far too numerous to
take care of all of them. Per-
haps a large percentage will be
deserving, but as only a certain
number of men can be permitted
to take the course, very high
standard will most certainly be
required in order to reduce the
number.
The selected men here are for
tunate in having this opportunity
to rise from the ranks.
Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1917-11-07
HELP WIN THE CAMPAIGN.

The thirty-fve-million dollar
fund for the Y. M. c. A. must 90
"over the top" 1t must succeed
if the association is to continue
its work along present proper
tions in the military camps. And
the soldiers here in camp in
whose interest and for those well
fare the association is conducted
can help the campaign in a very
effective way if they will.
There are about $4,000 men
here. Working together for one
purpose, toward one goal, they
can prove an invaluable factor in
carrying the drive successfully
through.
And it will only demand of
each man little of his time and
the cost of postage. Let's see
how.
Write a letter to the editors
of your local papers, whether
you come from cities, towns or
smaller communities, and tell
what the Y. M. c. A. has done for
you at Camp Meade and ask the
people to get behind this big
movement to furnish funds for
carrying on the work similar to
Meade in every cantonment in
this country, and especially in
France.
Don't LET any chap neglect to
write because he thinks he can't
write. All he has to do is to tell
the plain truth in his own way to
the local paper. The papers will
be glad to print what he says,
for the people are hungry to
read it.
You may not realize how much
the people appreciate the boys in
the camps. Now let each of you
$4,000 men do his duty, and it will
go a long way, much farther than
you think, in making the great
campaign tremendous success.
WILL YOU DO 1T?

SEVERN CROSSING DEATH TRAP

The watchmen swung their
lanterns to go ahead. And the
jitney, carrying half dozen
soldiers, went over the tracks.
And the Pennsylvania flyer,
Washington bound, whirled by.
BY the closest possible mar
gin the jitney escaped destruc-
ton. Had it crossed three Sec
onds later it would have been
struck by the fast-going express
and its occupants killed or in
jured.
This happened Friday night
about $50 o'clock at the Severn
crossing of the Pennsylvania
railroad. Several accidents in
which soldiers and civilians have
lost their lives have occurred at
this point within the last month.
Following these tragedies, it was
announced a stricter guard sys-
tenn would be kept at the cross
ing.
In view of the above mention
ed incident of Friday night,
when bya hairs breadth another
accident was averted, we must
say this present guard system,
however strict the railroad au-
thorities may enforce it, is en-
tirely inadequate to safeguard
the lives of those who must use
the crossing.
Something must be done i'm
mediateiy to prevent a repetition
Of the terrible accidents that
are still fresh in the minds of
everybody at the camp. There
must be a gate system, at least,
and those in charge of it must
know when each train is due at
that point. Two watchmen, or
even three, who swing lanterns
and who apparently care moth
ing about train schedules, offer

Kuhn went in his machine to visit
many of the barracks that they
were occupying. He saw that the
cooks were on the job. He pro-
claimed at once the policy of a
square deal and he made it known
in the same breath that he wants
to see the colored men measure

devolves upon them as soldiers.
The feeling the officers have
for Gen. Kuhn is of kind not to
be compared to any respect for
authority in evidence in every
day life. 1t is a thing nobody can
understand who has not been
here. This devotion helps to
throw light upon the mysteries
of history, to make it clear why
Napoleon's men stood by him so
firmly.
