fore, Mr.. President" responded the
soldier. Il used to be a traffic police
man at the Grand Central station.

namesake like YOU" said the Presi-
dent.

fare agencies of the camp, acting
through General Joseph A. CASTOR.
joined yesterday in observing the
anniversary of the fall of the Bas-
tile. The celebration was held in

fare board. Addresses were made
by Edward c. Baldwin, head of the
Young Mems Christian Association;
Francis A. Litz, of the knights of
Columbus, and A. A. Steinbach, head
of the Jewish Welfare Board. There
was music by the depot brigade
band.
The "Marseillaise" and other
French patriotic airs were played.

Italian flag was displayed a few
weeks ago to indicate the feeling OF
fellowship with the Italians. Every
commander impressed upon his men
the Importance of this day was mark
ing the fall of autocracy in France
and thus ii is a date of rejoicing
for all liberty loving people at this
time when liberty is fighting for its

1900 New Men Coming
Everything is being put into shape
for the arrival of 1900 new men
this week. The number may be
swelled to 10000 before the week is
over. The men will come from
Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee
and the District of Columbia. While
Pennsylvania will not send any this
week, it will have it's inning next
month, for most of the men from
the Keystone State in the August
call, will be sent here to make up
new liberty division.
Unofficial word was received to-
day that the 313th Infantry of the
18th Division, which trained here,
had reached "over there" Absolute
confirmation of this, however, could
not be made. 1t is a fact, though,
that the 313th sailed some time ago
for France.
The work of enlarging the water
supply and the sewerage system of
the camp will be started within a
few days. More pipes will be laid
and filters built. The coming of
1000 signal corps men. in addition
to the regular selected men, will
make great demands upon the two
systems.
