TO CORRECT KES.

The impression has gotten out that
a charge of Scots is being made to
any one coming to the work rooms OF
the Red Cross headquarters to sew.
This is a mistake. Everybody is cor
daily invited to come and sew and be
gladly received free of charge.
A report has also gotten out that 100
pajamas have been rejected at the
New Orleans headquarters. This is
also a mistake, as no shipment has
been made from our headquarters yet.

If I do not fall-if I come back at ali
Then I will come back clean.

But | viii control by the God in my soul,
The might of my mans desire
WI tight my foe in the open.
But my sword will be sharp and keen
For the foe within would lure me to sin
And I will come back clean

Brave medals that I have won
But the blood in my veins shall have no
stains
on bride or on babes urborn
Ard the scars that my body may carry
Shall not be from deeds obscene,
For my will shall say to the beast. obeyl

Oh, not on the fields of slaughter,
And rot in the prison cell.
Or in the hunger and cold is the story

But the old old sin of the senses
Can tell what that word NAV mean
To the soldiers wives and to innocent

SPARE THE HOLLY.

Once again Trench and Camp re-
quests the soldiers at Camp Hancock
to spare the holly growing in this sec
ton. This is the urgent request of
many southern women who are doing
all in their power to make it pleasant
for the men in camp.
of all natures handiwork,- the
south he's ben lavished with 1.-THE
holly holds first place in the affections
of the people, because of its beauty
and scarcity. There is so much of
sentiment associated with the green
leaves and red berries of the holly tree
that 1T has become a valued possession
among southerners. In real estate de-
velopment, many southerners have Sc
lected a site for a home because of the
presence of perhaps one holly tree on
the land
IN view of the wealth of associations
attached to the tree and the many
manifestations of good will towards
the men in camp by the kind hearted
southern people, we believe the men
Of the Twenty eighth division will for
go their natural impulse and spare the
holly growing in the vicinity of the
camp.
The conservation committee of the
Augusta Woman's Club makes the APP
peal, and we are sure that the chival-
ry of the men from the north will re-
spond to it.

WHY WE ARE AT WAR.

Trench and Camp would like to see
more entries in the literary competition
on why We Arc at War"
The editor asked one young man to
write an article on the subject and met
with the rejoinder: 1--WE been trying
to find out myslf why we are at war"
That answer sums up the reason for
Trench and Camp offering prizes of
SIS. SO and 81 for the best three articles
on the subject. We want every soldier
in Camp Hancock to understand tha
great issue at stake.
The time will be extended to satur-
day night, to permit you to take ad-
vantage of the offer.
Get busy!

A Dos77raobEe Foe

Here is one of the strongest indict.
ments against Germany we have seen
It was published by the Aviation Sec.
ton of the United Etates:
Democracy is being assaulted by
the most damnab!e foe that ever
fired a cannon. that ever drove
home bayonet, that ever ravaeed
a neutral state. that ever sunk a
hospital ship, that ever shelled
women and children in Iifeboats,
that ever crusified and castrated =
captured enemy soldiers, that ever
cut the right hands off boy chill
dHen in captured territory, that
ever raped women by the thous-
aads. that ever lived 60 fqsten it,
demon clutches on the throat OF
civilization"

A GOOD RECORD.

Elsewhere we print a summary as
well as the detailed figures, of what
the Army Y. NJ. c. a. at Camp Hancock
has done during the past month. 1t is
i record of achievement and the fig
ures are set down 50 that all may know
tn exact amount of effort being put
forth.
There have been many disconcerting
features hampering intensive work
educationally and religiously. Chief
among these is the religious schedule
of activities and the time off, when
ing tn Wednesday and Saturday
Afternoons and Sunday. 1t takes an
exceptional man to hunger and thirst
for educational and religious matters
after he has been drilling hard all day.
with all sorts of extra duty thrown in
as well as 81 weekly night hike or a
period of two or more days spent out
on the rifle and artillery ranges. To
meet all these conditions, the work
must be highly adaptable and we are
glad to state that the men in charge
of these activities are not one bit dis
couraged or lacking in resolution to be
of the utmost service.
The fact that almost 100000 men
crowded into the "Y" building during
the month proves the need of social re-
taxation for the men. The fact that
$4,000 pieces of mail were dispatched,
evidences the heart warnings of the
men who congregate at the buildings
nightly and keep in touch with the
home folks by means of Y, M. c. A.
stationery and other facilities. The
thrift campaign has heen hanpered by
the fact that with Liberty bond in
stallments. allotments and other ex-
penses coming first, there has been as
much to send home as formerly. How
ever, the gratifying total Of ST. 12S is
a goodly sum to handle, when it is con-
sidered that the amounts come in small
sums for the most part.
Despite the busy activities of the
secretaries. time was found to have
personal conversations with $50 men
concerning their souls welfare, and $50
men made definite decisions. In com
parison with the results in the churches
of any single community, it win be
seen that although conditions are alb
normal, there is much earnest work
being dene. An in all. Camp Secretary
Tomlinson and his associates have rea-
son TO feel proud Of their achievement

Trench and Camp is the recipient of
much poetry, for which we are CRATE
full Some Of it is good, some of it is
bad and quite a bit Indifferent, but
we are glad to look it over and use
what we feel is Just to our readers.
The muse has been working overtime
and is but another evidence of the
psychic Influences that have been de-
ve1oped through the war spirit of the
nation. There are many outpourings
of the heart in the effusions we receive
and it is a good thing. for if young
man or young woman was obliged to
bottle up those warnings, sometimes
passionate sentiments, the result would
be disastrous and might lead to dis
traction. Let Trench and Camp be
your safety valve. Send in your
prose or poetry and if it passes the
censor, you may have the joy of seeing

THE COMING INAUGURATION

In March President Wilson will be officially inducted into office for the second time.
 Congress for the time being does not seem to be overzealous in putting through the presidential propaganda It is fairly we'll understood when Congress meets after the inaugura- ton and changes are made in the makeup of both House and Senate that the strength of the president will be considerably reduced
 It is always wise to make hay while the sun shines, and it is shining very brightly just at present for the Demo- cratic party.
 Overconfdence has directly resulted in the defeat of many men and meas ures. Overconfidence was the direct cause of the defeat of Charles Evans Hughes last November
 It would be wise for the Democratic leaders to do something now, do it quickly and effectively, if they wish to see the administration program car ried out effectively.
 Just at present the Democrats cas- fly control both branches of Congress. and more than this, the president has the confidence of a number of poten- tial Republican leaders, but this may be different a few weeks hence.
 Our foreign relations are such that President Wilson is hesitating in urg- ing issues that he would personally like to see passed in Congress.
 The situation is one that has to be Automatically considered and decided with the utmost caution and care.
 There are a number of measures that the president would like to see put into effect immediately, but be- hind this desire is that conscious feel ing that it would not be wise to hurry such legislation.
 At the same time there is nothing like the present. We can look back on our yesterdays and realize what they meant, what we lost and what

BONE DRY" OPPONENT
 IS SARCASTIC

Representative U. A. Gentry re- ceived the following letter from a con- stituent at Hope:
 When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the earth to re-establish rerum primordia, the "bone dry" measure would be a corker. But it is no corker. There are many other things or measures the legislature may pass. For in- stance: The abolition of marriage. legalize murder, put a tax on poverty, prohibit its constituents from walking on their feet, compel the electors of Arkansas to vote only for its present members, thereby perpetuating itself or establishing sort of Tyranico Representcio Hereditum form of gov ernment. With very kind personal re- gards for you and supreme contempt for the bone dry measure, am yours" etc.
