Admission, February 1e.-(SpeciaD Since the establishment of Camp Mc- Clellan an influx of charming women has come to Anniston from New Jersey Maryland Washington Virginia ana Delaware to be aear loved ones at the cantonment.
 In every phase of war work these women of the military circle have pa triotic comradeship of service for tne'r country.
 There are larger number of soldiers at Camp Mcclellan from New Jersey than from any other state. consequently we find larger number of women from New Jersey in Anniston.
 One of the popular New Jersey brides Mrs. James J. McNamee. is gifted reader No night during the winter was too cold. too rainy, or too disagreeable to prevent Mrs. McNamee from going to camp to use her rare, gift for ths pleasure of the Camp Mcclellan boys She is well known in all of the Youns Mems Christian association huts, where her presence never fails to bring Forth anplause from the khaki-clad audiences, who ever welcome entertainment with eager delight.
 Mrs. McNamee is also member of the New Jersey unit, who give so much time to working for the Red Cross that ia to save humanity. She and MT. Me- Nance have both won many friends in Annlstons social circles.
 Mr. McNainee before enlisting was an officer in the City Bank of New York. The position is being held for him while he Is doing his bit for his coun- try as one of the army of clever news paper correspondents, who are proving that the pen is mighticr than the sworu.
 Mrs. Charles Barbier. wife of the gen eral of the New Jersey troops, IS most helpful in Anistons war work. Mrs. Ba rber's wonderful Red Cross work m Panama. when General Barber was Tn service there, has become an oft re- peated story. Anniston is fortunate to have in her midst woman so well trained and with the Red Cross worK so dear to her heart. Mrs. Barber or panized a New Jersey Red Cross unit and directs them in the surgical dress ing department Last week the New Jersey class made 600 sponges, while others served at the machines or by hand.

She gives dinners in honor of the soldiers every week. Recently Mrs. Taylor was the means of securing from the Quaker City Motor club of Phila- delphia numerous sweaters. 100 convales- cent robes, scores of sleeping socks. caps. scarfs and quantities of boxes of home made edibles, which she distributed at the base hospital.
 The New Jersey folk are noted for their generosity to their men in uni form. Every month. valuable tokens of appreciation are sent from some town in the state.
 Last week the members of Company A. 114th infantry. members of the ma chine gun company. and the members of Company l. were made happy by a gift from the citizens of Passaic, N J., of a fund of several hundred dollars, and several hundred pounds or s.snokes' Capt Frederick E.
