Youngest Majors Mississippians

A special to The Philadelphia Record
from Camp Humphreys, Va. states
that that camp lays claim to having
the youngest atjutant in the American
army in Maj John E. Harris, who is
doubtless one of the youngest majors
in any branch of the service, having
been born in Pass Christian, Miss, on
October 30th, 1898"
The youngest major in the army is a
native of Macon. The daily papers
this week announce the promotion of
Capt. Gus. Tolson to the rank of major.
and as he was born in Macon in the fall
OF 1895. has not yet reached his oath
birthday. Maj Iolson as stated in the
Beacon some time ago, was a member
of the Washington Artillery and spent
a year in Texas before the war broke
out. lie was intensely interested in the
life, and being a natural student and
gifted with a mathematical mind, his
promotion was steady. For several
months ne has been instructor in the
School of Arms, Fort Sill, Ok. The
friends of the majors mother, Mrs.
Jeanne Tolson, will rejoice with her in
her sons good fortune.

pieces will give concert here on
Friday, October 4th.
A detachment of the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station
Band of which Lieutenant John
Philip Sousa, the March King"
is director, will visit Macon on
Friday, October 4th.
The band will consist of thirty
trained musicians, and a concert
will be given during the stay in
the city, which will necessarily
be brief, inasmuch as the Liberty
Loan Organization for the eight
federal reserve district, under
whose auspices the tour is being
made, is seeking to have as many
points visited as possible.
The success of the Great Lakes
Bands on their tours during the
Third Liberty Loan campaign
was remarkable, and there is an
lnsistent demand for it's return.
The band is scheduled to arrive
here at 1922 o'clock p. m. and
the concert will be given imme-
diately after the band reaches
the city.i
This announcement it is expect
ed will result in a large crowd
from the surrounding country
and neighboring towns visiting
Macon on the date of the concert.

This is a splendid opportunity
for college men, as the training re-
ceived and the practical expert
ence given during vacation periods
and after graduation will fit them
for service as officers in the Navy
or Merchant Marine if they desire
to continue that vocation after the
conclusion of the present war.
Thorough instruction in seaman
ship will be given, and engineer
ing students will be given spec.
ial subjects in addition to the
regular curriculum, and. after gra-
duation, a finishing off course at
the Navy Steam Engineering
School, thus fitting them for engi,
neering officers, who are always in
demand for Naval and Merchant
Marine service.
1t will be necessary for appli-
cants, af physical examination and
acceptance, to secure transfer of
their cases from their Local Board
to the Local Board at Starkville,
that they may be directly induct,
ed into the military service.
Applications should be made to
the Mobilization Officer, who will
make full explanation of all re,
quirements and all benefits to &C,
crue.
No engineering students will be
accepted, as such, under twenty
years of age.

The Devils Lake base ball team met
the Fort Totten Indian team on the To-
cal grounds Friday evening. 1t was a
rather disinteresting game as the To-
cal team proved too strong for the
boys across the lake, and when the f.
nal count was made it was found that
the score stood II to 1 in favor Of the
home team. Melhouse pitched for the
locals and done good work all the way
thru, allowing but three hits and strik-
ing out eight men. This is his first
time on the mound but with good con-
troll and plenty Of speed and curves he
will be, used in other games in the fu-
ture.

have always been well able to hold up
their end against any team that cross
