 BIRMINGHAM GIRLS
 AT CAMP MCCLELLAN
 The following interesting account of the recent entertainment given at Camp Mcclellan was contributed by one of the soldiers who had the pleasure of attend ing and will be read with much interest by many in the city:
 Perhaps the most pleasing entertain ment of the year was rendered last eve ming at Y. NJ c. A. No. 113, at Camp Mcclellan, by six thoughtful Birming- ham girls. Nearly 1000 happy soldiers crowded the Y. M. c. A. auditorium to greet and applaud the excellent num- bers given. In charm and beauty and in 1 delightful personality it is doubtful whether a finer sextette could be found | in any city in the south and the Virginia and New Jersey boys couldn't begin to show their appreciation. Many boy, 1 fine hearted boys that they are in form | ing in the line to meet the young ladies, i was thinking fondly of that girl back | home that perhaps he might not see again. It is indeed a great pleasure for l the thoughtful woman who has oppor- tunity to visit the boys at the base hos | pital and bring happiness and comfort to the men that only a woman can. | Chaplain Taylor of the 111th field ar | tillery and the Y. M. c. A. secretaries and officers do most sincerely voice the 1 appreciation of the soldiers for this most pleasant evening. Miss Hale at the piano played some very well chosen selections and Miss Augusta Gill delighted the boys with three vocal solos Miss Amelia Line took the hearts of the boys by storm in | her recitation of Down by the Rio Grande," while Freeda Robinson was | ipI,n fo t1n tat | the rafters by her excellent work on the violin. Miss Bettie Gilmore satisfied the | curiosity of the lads in khaki when | from a great trunk beautiful harp was | taken and four wonderful selections rem dered. But perhaps most of all, Mrs. l Mills, almost in a minute in her pleas | ing personality and friendliness gained the love of some hundreds of soldiers | boys in her relating of Uncle Joe at 1 the Telephone" It is doubtful whether | a more eager lot of boys could have lined up to shake the hands of the President or the governor than those who passed by to voice their apprecia- tion of the happy evening. and Y. M. c. A. No. 11S already adopted by one church, voted to adopt in turn six young ladies from Birmingham
