the fellows with stories of baseball.
The building was damned full and Ty

France and all of the Allies were round
ly cheered by the large and enthusiastic
audience that gathered to hear NJ Jean
Picard at Building n on Thursday even
ing. The battle-scarred veteran from the
French front delivered a splendid and very
helpful message to the men who are soon
to leave for the European fields of war
fare and his remarks were punctuated by
frequent vigorous applause. The movies
of the devastation in France, evidently
created strong impressionNon the men.
The men served by this building, as we'll

The Bible class work is gaining great

for the Father and of What Father
Expects of His Son." said that the
average Father expected his son to be
better man than he was-and that he
expected him to be a real man.
Secretary Frederick b. Heitkamp, for
the son, and speaking on What My
Father Means to Me-" told of the ex-
ample of industry, sacrifice and love
of the Father; the love of the Father
for the maintenance of the family, his
respect for womanhood, and his love
OF God. While we can not be better
men than our Fathers in a civilian way
we can be just as good in the army
but there, more than any place else we
can do it only with the help of our
God"

FeVer1Sh aCt1Vity-in these two
words is best summed up the condition
79 during the week just ended.
The Second Motor Mechanics have
literally swamped the secretaries I'M
der q sea of suit cases, boxes packages
and letters.
Last Sunday morning Regimental
service was held in the building. Mr..
Orlo B. Price gave one of his usual
powerful addresses. On Sunday even
ing the 109th Band furnished an in
spring musical program, contribut-
ing greatly to the success of the song
service.
On Monday evening Captain PICARD,
of the French Army gave an eXcep-
tionally fine talk before a crowded
house on France and the war He told
of our allies deathless spirit in the
face of supreme sacrifice, and explain
ed the living conditions which om
American boys will find abroad. Cap
tain PICARD emphasized the need of
clean moral tone in the life of the
army
Spirited boxing bouts in the open air
ring were contested on Tuesday
evening followed by stirring patriotic
lecture on Lincoln by the Honorable
w. B. Pierce, of Augusta, which the
boys seemed to enjoy greatly.
On Wednesday evening, Father and
Son week was fittingly observed when
Mr.. c.. H. Harrington, our building
secretary, addressed the men on the
vital subject, encouraging more boys
to write home to Dad and showing that
there is nothing which can quite equal
the wonderful comradship of a father
and his son.
Thursday we had moving pictures
before an audience which damned the
building from screen to counter. ]. f.
Braun, the splendid tenor from Phila-
Philadelphia, entertained us with some
fine solos.
One of the rare musical treats of the
season was furnished on Friday by
the appearance of the famous Uni
versity of Michigan Jazz Band, which
travelled all the way from the Au
gusta Arsenal to entertain the boys
of 10, and certainly lived up to its
widely heralded reputation. Like the
Grand Canyon this band fulfills all eX-
pectations.
One of the enjoyable features of past
weeks has been the singing of trench
songs every Saturday evening under
the leadership of Captain Walter B.
Spencer of the End Motor Mechanics.
Although the departure of this regi-
ment now deprives us of Captain
Stfong's personality he has left behind
him good groundwork on which to
build the future singing Of trench

PATRIOTIC EDUCATION.

So as to awaken in America further realization OF Just
of peril Germany is to the world, group Il
prominent Americans have organized what is to 3e
known a committee for patriotic education. The
first active work OF the committee will he 10 issue
carefully prepared pamphlet entitled Know Your
Enemy" by Elmer Ellsworth Fdttenhouse. This
pamphlet will widespread distribution only
America but in the and and IN allied coun
tries Of the United states.
The pamphlet aims depict from the words of the
German lords and of observers just the horrible
warfare the Teutons waging and just what
the Prussan soldiers to strive for
victory at cost.
Patriotic education of this sort is something needed
in America today. Too of in ignorance Of

shown that there a nobler spirit; ofter spirit which
we must assume-the spirit Of pity for the Germans
may hate them down deep IN our hearts, but still
deeper instled feeling of pity for the mis-
guided Germans whom are forced to kill for the

We NAV feel inclined to hate the Hun that murders

This is not a war of hatred We are not lighting the
