GET C0NvALESc|NG
Base Hospital Will Serve.
Put "Pep" in Bayonet
Training.

CAMP HUMPHREYS, Va. Septem-
Der 21.-American soldiers recuperat-
ing from wounds received overseas
will be brought to the new base hos
pital at Humphreys and rehabilitated
both in mind and body until they are
able to resume their former occupa-
lions or given the opportunity to
learn new ones.
When completed the camp hospital
will be run in conjunction with the
Walter Reed Army Hospital at Wash
pital for wounded soldiers from the
capital.
When all the wards are completed
the base hospital here, which is under
the command of Col. Charles E. Doerr,
will have accommodations for 1900
patients, making it one of the larg-
est in the country. The commission
ed and enlisted personnel Of the base
hospital, which now consists Of sixty
officers and 800 enlisted men. will
soon be increased by the addition of
enlisted men of the Medical Corps.
"Pep' With the Bayonet.
Each officer at Humphreys-there
are 1000 of them-gets out every
morning at lU.f0 o CLOCK LOT UdyOutI
and physical instruction according to
the pep system" devised by Maj. D.
w. Dawson. Nothing has been said
as to what will be the fate of the
officers who fail to measure up to
prescribed standards. but he will un-
doubtedly get assignment to serv-
ice battalion or similar command
where snap and speed are not quite
SO essential.
The real drill does not require Off
GERS to run backward. in circles or
hop around on one leg. These exer-
cises are for jerking up the indifer-
ent or careless officer to take the
drills seriously and take the place of
displining or Furnishing him in other
ways which would not be half SO ef-
fective.
The officers who fall down" at the
fast drills are required to do these I'M
usual stunts while the others are 'at
rest" After it is all over the other
men "kid" the unfortunates. To
avoid being made ridiculous they are
apt to put their whole soul in the next
days drill.

at Camp Humphreys having COM
pleted their period in quarantine, the

ski, an American officer who was born

The strength of the development
battalion to start with will be ap-
proxtmately 1000 men. and it is hoped

mac. about one-half mile from the
main barracks. has been selected as
a camp for the development battalion.

cient or illiterate. and if it proves i'm
possible for them to learn to speak
English in three months, some of
them will be assigned to labor or
service battalions.

FEEDING GERMANY.

Why should we feed Germany?
When there was no food shortage in
her country she appealed to this coun-
try for funds to buy milk for German
babies ia prevent infant mortality,
and the money she asked for wa. used
in destroying our muniton factories.
1t was she who refused neip toward
the French children during the great
siege and when the situation was Sc
rious.
The Germans are endeavoring to
create disseHsion among the allies
and make the people sympathize with
Germany Let us remember that if
she should be hungry it was she who
sunk the grain ships; her armies
made the gardens of northern France
waste places; her men chopped down
the orchards and left a fruitful coun-
try blackened desert. Not a single
field in her country has been disturb
ed, her orchards are intact, and now
they whine for food from their en-
emies 1t was German women who
tainted prisoners of war with food,
only to snatch it away and make the
men go hungry. AS they SOW so let
them reap.-Cor. Chicago Tribune

RED CROSS SPEAKING.

Editor j. M. Thompson of the New
Orleans Item, who has just returned
from France, came to PaScagoula
Thursday to speak in the interest of
the Red Cross Christmas Member
ship Drive. The speaking was sched-
uled for the courthouse, but on account
OF bad weavaeI' and the small crowd
present the meeting was switched TO
the Dixie Theatre, where Mr. Thomp-
son addressed large audience. His
address was interesting and instructive
throughout and will result in much
good to the Red Cross cause here.
Capt. Thos. Usher, a British army
officer, who was also to have been
presnt, failed to arrive on account of
delayed speaking date in Mobile but
Col. Thompson made an able sub
stitute.

Cross In France In cooperation with
the commanding officers of our fighting
forces in that country. Details Of the
plan to make Christmas AZ merry a
possible for the soldiers In these insd-
tutions have Just been received at Red
Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist
ed men on duty at these places will
also share in the distribution OF Christ
mas cheer. Because Of the limited

the Red Cross was compelled to aban-
don its original plan to send special

patients in France. All the articles
distributed will be obtained over there.
This is to be an old fashioned cele-
bration in every sense Of the word.
Every soldier will hang his socks on
the tree. The socks will be tied with
red ribbon and In addition to the good
les mentioned above will contain
handkerchief and card, on which
will be outlined the services the Amer

our soldiers. Each soldier will re-
ceive sufficient number Of Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art

able him to write to members OF his
family and his friends back home.

ton. After dinner there Will be
musical entertainment, motion pic

RED CROSS FIGHTS
DEADLY EPIDEMIC

Besides the special work conducted
by hundreds of Red Cross Chapters
throughout the country in checking
the recent epidemic of Spanish 1nflu-
enZa, the organization through Its
headquarters at Washington is prepar-
ing to fight repetition Of the expert
ence that was so disastrous this fall,
educating the public thoroughly re-
garding the symptoms and the proper
care at the beginning Of an attack. In
addition to this, the American Red
Cross is fighting tuberculosis. The re-
cent appropriation to the National Tu-
berculosis Association will be used for
educational as well as relief work
throughout the country.
So much has been said about the
aftermath Of the epidemic that espe
cial attention is being given to the
work along this line. The weakness
which follows influenza leaves the pn
tient In a condition which makes him
a good field for the germs of tubercu-
losis. A thorough physical examina-
ton, proper food and clothing, the use
progress of the disease at once.
tuberculosis, or consumption, as it
is frequently called, is both preventa-
BILE and durable, provided the treat
ment of the disease il begun before it
is too far advanced. Medicine plays Z
comparatively small part. The fire.

cures" should be looked upon as poi
son. The only medicine which should
be taken Is good tonic which will
stimulate the appetite and build up
the system generally. The main cure
lies in proper food, sufficient rest,
fresh air and sunlight and living, If
possible, according to the plan pre-
scribed by a good physician. This re-
news the patients vitality and soon
kills the disease entirely
For several years the Madonna TIL
berculosis Association has been financ-
ing its wolk by the sale of Red Cross
seals at Christmas time. The seals
sold for penny each and by making
a concerted effort enough money was
usually raised to carry the work
through the year. This year there will
be no seals sold because the American
Red Cross has made an appropriation
for the anti-tuberculosiS work, and
those who formerly spent their time
selling seals will join in the work for
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
during the week of December 16 to %.

CHRISTMAS 1918.

Doubtful as it was a few weeks ago
that war would come to a sudden close
and many as were the forebodings of
desolation for long period when the
grateful news spread over the country
that the valor of the allied troops had
triumphed and the armistice followed.
Huriedly peace preparations were set
on foot and once more the silver lin
ing appeared through darkened clouds.
Christmas of 1918 finds most of the
world tranquil and full of joyful resolu-
tons. May this peace loving season
bring happiness into the hearts and
homes of every nation.
The Chronicle extends to each and
every citizen of our favored coast the
compliments of the season.
