--Sergt. Geo. l.. Wilson, Of Camp
Pike, Little Rock, Arkansas, Is in
Walhalla to-day with his family.
Sergt. Wilson is on his return to
camp from Newport News, Va, to
which point he and commissioned Of
iicers went in charge of colored men
for service in the army and in the
army labor squads. Within the past
few weeks this camp has furnished
considerable numbers of oolored men
for the service. These were the first
colored men moved, however,
though Camp Pike has been send
ing men to various points for seve-
raj mopths. Camp Pike accommo-
dates ordinarily about $4,000 men,
and the camp has been depleted seve-
raj times, with the exception OF those
men who have charge Of the training
OF the forces. Mr.. Wilson is enjoy
ing splendid health and is looking re-
markably well. He has gained in
stature to such extent that he is fur
nished clothes made to measure, his
suits being out size, and not ordi-
narily taken into the calculations OF
the government in outfitting the men
of the army. While he is permitted
no latitude In speaking of the prepa-
rationS being made for effective par
ticipation In the great European war,
still he said this much: That the av-
erage American citizen knows moth
ing Of the actual preparations going
on, not even the men Of the army
realizing to what extent our country
Is preparing. He was amazed when
he got to points on the coast and saw
the activities there. But" he says,
there Is none too much being done.
We might as we'll realize that we
have got big job before~us. And
we're going to do the work" The

Wilson will be here for but a brief
period. His many friends are de-
lighted to meet him again.
