UPTON LOSES ITS
SENIOR CHAPLAIN
DR.. Manning Returns to Trim
ifv After Years Service.
Special Despatch to THE Sun.

CAMP UPTON, Nov. with the re-
turn of the Rev. DR.. William T. Man.
ming to his work as rector of Trinity
parish. New York, this camp loses its
senior chaplain. DR.. Manning has worn
the Khaki of a voluntary chaplain since
November of last year, when he came
here assigned to the 302d Engineer Regi-
ment of the Seventy-seventh Division.
He not only conducted services two and
three times every Sunday, administered
communion and cared for his charges
spiritually, but interested himself I'm
their athletic activities and social at
fairs
When the 3O2d Regiment took record
DAYS hike in the dead of winter De-
Manning accompanied them, trampinS
fifteen miles. The cold was so intense
that the food froZe before the men
could eat 1t from the field kitchens.
In March the regiment left for over
seas. and an effort was made 10 take
their chaplain along, but the age limit
prevented. He had come to camp at
| first for service OF three months. but
he became so intensely bound up with
the life here that his term was con-
tinued. He became chaplain to the Sixth
| Battalion, and has been with that unit
| ever since.
Through Dr. Mannings instrumental
| ity the organization was presented with
| the first colors ever possessed by bat
talon organization. His efforts have
| brought a number of noted figures before
| Upton soldiers. The Archbishop of York
visited and spoke at Or. Manning's in
| N-.ation, as did the Bishop of oxford. re-
Gently Miss Maude Adams. who served
as a Y. w. c. A hostess house worker
| for several weeks, also came here first
as his guest. He was responsible FOR
concert during the summer by the Po-
licemens Glee Club of New York.
The interests and welfare Of his boys
have been very dear TO DIR. Manning
ever since his introduction to Upton.
Last spring, when the 3OSth Infantry
was in the midst Of preparations for a
| parade in New York on Sunday, the New
York sabbath Society protested, calling
| 1t a violation of the day. DR.. Manning
issued a statement arraigning the So
ciety and calling its action unpatriotic
Or. Manning believes universal mill
tary training should become a perma-
nent feature of the country'S education
Military training" he said Improves
men not only physically but mentally
morally and spiritually 1t makes men
as we'll as soldiers. The results of the
training here are an unanswerable argu-
ment for A wise system OF universal mill
tary service as a permanent feature OF
our country's life, No one could be here
and see the results shown in the men
| without desiring the same thing for the
young manhood OF our country as a
| whole"
