Camp Wheeler Notes

Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga, February -(Special.)-A the Alabama artillery men are feeling gingered up these days, some pictures to show the public who are doubtful about Secretary Bakers state ments of confidence.
 They've shot some enthusiastically fired them and they have heard the noise and smelt the smoke and jumped and felt reassured because they didn't jump any higher and didn't run step. One court-martial broke up hurriedly and ran out to see if it was true that Uncle Sam really meant those guns to shoot with.
 They say they are going to shoot a little play-like load for the six-inch how itzers, just enough for the movie man to register smoke. But the officers who know abont it don't like the idea very well. The tools to operate the howitzers have not yet arrived, so that. although the guns have been here for months, nobody knows whether the recoils have enough oil or not. It is a little like try ing to fire the old cannon that adorn city hall squares-nobody wants to bell the cat
 There is an organization at Camp Wheeler that is distinctly and uniquely all Alabama. That is the famous 18th field artillery jazz band under the direc- tion of Sergt. Mai Jimmy" Yates.
 It wasn't so long ago that the present l2-piece band had considerable less mu- sical instruments. than now. Those were the days when the fame of the band was confined to Battery B. Then one memor- able night Colonel Harrison (now at Fort Sill but then commanding the 116th field artillery), left the camp and the men of the band stole from their battery street and gave a stunt night performance at one of the army ''Y'' buildings.
 Since then the jazz band has played at practically all of the "Y" buildings in the camp and at many Macon entertain ments.
 The following data concerning the jazz band was furnished by one of it's mem bers. It contains not only the member

HAT WILL BE PASSED WHILE WAR LASTS STATES DR. STUART
No Peace Between Labor and Capital Until Labor Recognizes the Value of
 Brains, Is Statement

Dr. George R. Stuart preached to ca pacity audiences yesterday at both She morning and evening hours. In the morning he preached on When Will Peace Conner" taking his text from the eighty-fifth Psalm.
 You had just as well make up your minds that the hat is going to be passed as long as the war lasts" said Dr. Stuart, flor while others are getting messages of their boys falling in the trenches or going down at sea, it Is as little as could be expected of you to contribute to every cause that is worthy. in order to aid in this great struggle
 q want to tell you of truth and mercy meeting and righteousness kissing They were together once, but when will they be together again? They started in the Garden of Eden, but somehow they got separated, and that is the picture as it was originally and shall We ever see it again?
 "The father of lies is the devil. The devil stepped in and contradicted what God said about the forbidden fruit to Eve, and she accepted it. and truth walked out The lie took it's place. Then Gods mercy was shut out. Mans first disobedience broke the great har- mony Of righteousness, and then righteousness was destroyed. Then con- science took up her lash and with her strokes came down on the guilty party and peace left the Garden of Eden.
 MEET AT THE CROSS
 will these great virtues ever meet again? There is only one who can bring them back together again, and He is Jesus Christ. When He saw the law, He said, Father will go They went away from Eden and they met again at the Cross.
 We have the criminal before the judgment bar and he tries to get up scheme to clear himself, but the judge sees through his lie and no mercy is shown But on the other hand another criminal stands before the bar and con fesses everything, and asks for mercy; and he gets it. That is justice and mercy"
 Dr. Stuart told the story of the Phar isee and the Publican, Jesus and the woman and zacariah and his tax steaI ing, drawing fine point from each in stance.
 Your good deeds won't pay for the black ones that you hide. When you get up against the judgment bar jus tice will eternally damn you. Now, when will we have peace. Never without right eousness, for there is no permanent peace without righteousness.
 VALUE OF BRAINS
 ''We are going to have some great bushes troubles-we are having them now, between capital and labor, and they will never have peace until labor recognizes the value of brains. If a man thinks out a plan that will take care of brawn, he merits his place, and labor must recognize the power of brains to organize
 We may lick Germany, or Germany may lick us-personally I believe that one or the other will happen this year. but we will have to make a lamb out of a lion if we expect permanent peace; for a lion will keep on fighting, he will never lay down like a lamb. l am trust

Sufficient pulverized coffee is placed in the bot tom of the outer cup to make one cup of the beverage. Then the perforated inner cup is set in place and boiling water Is poured into it. It Is left to draw" for few minutes, just as in the preparation of tea; then it is poured out into the waiting cup. The perforations in the inner cup of the device strain the beverage.

 MEN HANG THEMSELVES
 At the evening service Dr. Stuart spoke of Men Who Hang Themselves" using the biblical stories of Haman, Judas and others.
 :" Be not deceived, for God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sowe.h, that he shall also reap and if could make men realize that thing tonight, l could chase them out of the pits of hell and into heaven
 Hanging is a mighty good way to get relief from bad man, and I expect the example of Judas would be a good one for this country if it was more generally followed. There are great laws and they run back through three gerer- ations. There are some mighty good families that raise mighty bad children, and it Is very likely because they let their neighbors do most of the sowing

 SABBATH FOR A FROLIC
 "A good many people think that God Almighty made the Sabbath for frolic, but you can't get anything good out or sin, and man who believes that there is fun in sin is a fool All suicides result from sin. They wind themselves up in their own nets.
 There are men all over the country Who are working their wicked schemes to get elected to office, and they may be elected, but God is here yet All the hanging is not over Haman made his plans on ambition, and hung from the gallows that he builded for Mordecai.
 When will folks get brains enough to see through ladder? Judas dealt with business too much, he was obsessed with making money and became blind to unholy business principles-so much 90 that he ended it by going out and hang ing himself.
