REM0UNT DEPOT TENT 235

One of the most enjoyable features Of
the year was the address given by Lieut..
Picard The sides of the tent had to be
let down to accommodate the men VINO
crowded to hear him. He told what the
men could expect to find when they
reached France. He expressed the view
that the Russian debacle would net little
direct benefit to the German cause.
AS a result of the visit Of Lieut.. Picard.
French class has been organized for the
sergeants Capt. Biddle, who always has
the interest of his men at heart, has gen
erously consented to teach the class.
On Thursday night tie men and officers
of the Remount enjoyed splendid con
cert by the 111th Infantry Band. We
deeply appreciate the willingness Of the
various bands of the division to relieve
the tedium of the Remount with theb
much appreciated concerts.
Our last weeks treat Of good things
was splendidly concluded by an address
by the Hon. Samuel L. Olive, lieutenant
governor Of the state His unfailng good
humor and the truth he brought were
much appreciated by officers and men
alike. We owe him an especial debt Of
gratitude because he came to us against
the advice of physician.
Volley ball has become very popu-
lar sport among officers and enlisted men
alike. An exciting series of three games
was played between two teams of off
Lieutenants Nolacheck, Poulter and Beck
were the invncible trio opposing Cap
tain Wells and Biddle and Lieut.. Morris.
The first game of the series was won by
Capt. Wells and his team on a margin of
five points. On Saturday the tide of the
contest had changed and Lieut.. Nola
checks team won the final games of the
series after two holly contested and ex-
citing games. The victOrs are to be the
guests of the Vanqushed at dinner at tho
Partridge Inn next Saturday evening.

tendance considerably but those present
found the captains presentation of facts
not only interesting but altogether i'm
pressive.
Through the efforts of Secretary Nc
Arthur, alent from Augusta is being en-
listed fc the Tuesday evening entertain
ments. Mr.. McArthur's acquaintance in
the city enables him to do especially eff
ficient work in this line. The presence
of the ladies from town is warmly well
coined by the men. and their efforts are
appreciated.
Building 232 has perhaps the most con-
yenient and commodous provision for
letter writing of any building in the
camp, but the space is over crowded
nightly, and men who come late often are
unable to find room for their correspond
ence. Monday evening is being reserved
as an open night, which entertain
mentS. are not scheduled as a rule, in or
der that there may be more time for writ
ing and readingg The arrangement seems
to met with the approval of the men gem
orally.
Two excellent bands, both of them
generous with their services, help to make
life attractive in this section of the camp.
The Sth Regiment Band, attached to the
Machine Gun Battalions, alternates with
the band of the 18th Infantry in concert
work in the building. Friday night is the
regular band concert night, but the bands
play frequently by special arrangement

A FOurthleSS July

There are three great days in the
vocabulary of the small boy One

but far greater iSthe Fourth of July
For this redletter occasion he plans
and works and saves for weeks, and
the greater noise and smoke, the
larger his satisfaction But these
are times Of war, and any spare
powder should periodically 60 a.
cross the sea to help shell the kaiser.
Young America, however, not
understanding his regret, will rise to
the occasion with the true spirit OF
Valley Forge and turn his efforts to
celebrate our greatest national holl-
day in other ways To parents and
the chiIdless, the ban on powder
will not'cause any great regret, but
gathering years should not dim the
spirit of the day, nor make us tor

fathers and mothers might well get
busy at once with plans the boy
who fails to have what he considers
a suitable celebration feels distinct
loss which nothing in after years
can recover or compensate.
Nor will it hurt the older ones to
work back to the days when the
picnic dinner in the shady grove
followed the reading of the Declara-
ton of independence. ard once

German Hints.

The German correspondents with
the army. commenting upon the
halt of HindenDurg'S latest drive,
agree that the advance has gone as
far as the General intended to 60
They advise the German people TO
be patient as no great campaign
can be fought out in a day and hint
vaguely at change in the method
of fighting which will give the war
a new aspect.
1t is safe to conclude at once that
the uniformity in the tone of
German newspaper comment
is the result of instructions from
headquarters. One obvious purpose
is to make the people content with
the knowledge that tfindenburg is
not going straight on TO Paris aud
to keep up their hope by promise
OF something new and more
devastating in store for the Allied
armies
The mysterious forecasts of an IN
expected turn in affairs may also
be intended to mystify the Allies.
From some source there have come
neutrality-suspicious. that theGerman
fleet will soon appear in the open
sea and give battle. There may be
a connectisn between the two and
both may be efforts to spread terror
by dark sayings and unexplained
hints. But war is a guessing game
and the explanation will be found
only by waiting If it is true that
the next move of the Germans is tC
be on the sea, they will find a prop.

The scarcity of tramps is very
noticeable of late. The man who
can work has no business tramping
over the country these days, and if
he cannot work he should remain
stationary. The first man who asks
for something to eat in this busy
country should be shown the field
and if he does not work, show him
where TO start going.

With these possibilities in mind
the Food Administration is advising
Federal Food Administrators in all
states to make 4 careful survey of
ice available for shipment With
this information in hand it will be
comparable easy to rush quick relief
to any community that may be
threatened by any ice famine.
Reports from the Administrators
surveys will be studied in an effort
to formulate plans Tor building up
and maintaining sufficient amount
of stored ice to assure the commun.

period of hot weather and TO insure
against suffering in the event of an
accident. The Food Administration
will also study them with a view to
having records of the nearest ice
available in case of unexpected

Ice is frequently shipped from

Administration is anxiousto arrange
for exchange of information between

However, Administrators are beln(
