tGFeenFlile NawS.)
Members Of tho British and French
military missions to Camp Sewer
have been instructed that they will
leave with the Thirtieth Division, re-
naming attached to it until further
orders. Receipt of these instructions
has put an end to much speculation
as to whether these officers would ac-
company the division or remain at
Camp Sewer to train the next troops
sent here.
Efforts to obtain an opinion as to
whether the officers we're pleased at
the information met with little sue
cess. Members of the British mis-
sion, however, limited that thero were
other reasons besides the safety Of
the position which caused them to
wish to remain in Greenvil,e, but on
the whole they preferred to get back
where there was more chance of see-
ing action.
Equipped Will, Vickers Guns.
A large number Of Vlckers ma
chine guns have recently been re-
ceived at Camp Sewer and Capt. A. j.
Pack, Of the British army, the heavy
machine gun instructor, ia now bus
lily engaged in instructing the men of
the machine gun 'battalions in their
use. Heavy machine guns are used
principally by these organizations.
"Vickers Camp" as it Is called,
has been established at the rifle
range and Capt. Pack and the classes
he Is instructing eat and sleep there
for the duration Of the course. 1t
had been thought by some that the
division would be equipped with
Browning machine guns and auto
matte rifles, but apparently this Is not
to be the case.

Tuesday evening of last week. The
smoke following the explosion was
also very noticeable, 1t seeming to
hang in the same position several
ed to the northeast Of Walhalla, and
this coupled with. the Spartanburg
statement would make the falling of
the meteor somewhat below Green

here. No explosions were heard by
citizens OF Walhalla who saw the

DID YOU SEE THE METEOR /?
White Cloud Appeared In Sky, Fol-
lowed by Loud Explosions.

Spartanburg, April 23.-One of the
most remarkable meteoric phenom-
ena Of which local scientists have
any record burst over this county
this evening at $40 o'clock and was
witnessed by the soldiers at Camp
Wadsworth and many civilians III
this and other counties. Although
1t was yet daylight, the illumination
in the heavens cast shadows of every
object. The shadows of electric
wires overhead were suddenly out
lined OH the ?avements, and red
glow filled the heavens. Those who
looked up saw hanging a little to
the southeast in the center of the
sky. a floating white cloud, as If
shrapnel shell had burst, and the
smoke remained stationary.
Three minutes after the bright
flash there came the sound Of three
distinct explosions. Many said it
was a signal sent up from the mill
tary camp, perhaps a star shell they
are trying out, and many Of the SOL
diers accepted that explanation. At
the office Of the signal corps it was
said that no such thing had been un-
dertaken, and that the cloud was
too light to have been caused by an
explosive sent up from the earth. A
short while after the explosion re-
ports came from many nearby towns
OF the same experience, showing that
it had been witnessed 80 and 40
miles from Spartanburg. Authori-
ties of local colleges say 1t was a re-
markable meteor.
