THEATRICAL UNIT
FOR 18TH DIVISION
Understood That Such Unit
Will Be Organized. Only
Best Talent Accepted.

Foy some time past a theatrical unit in
this division has been advocated. 1t is
understood that an order has just been is
sued by Lieut. Col. Fuqua which prac
tically assures the naturalization of this
project. 1t is reported that this will be,
headed by Col. Fuqua, Maj. Donnelly and
Lieut.. Rafferty,. Lieut.. Rafferty, has act
I'VE charge of the organization, his prin-
eipal attention being devoted at this time
to the personnel department. Sergts.
Field Hospital have been selected already
as stage manager and wardrobe, property
and makeup man respectively. They
will be detached from regular duty in
their company, Mr.. Bopp was formerly
connected with Honey Boy Evans Min
strels. while Mr. Frank was wardrobe,
property and makeup man for the New
York Hipp0drome. A large numeer of
men in the division have already applied
for service in this unit. all of whom have
had previous experience. Only the most
talented will be accepted.
It is the plan to form several theatrical
companies to become members of this
unit. Those qualifying are to be detached
from regular service now required. 1t is
expected that much high class entertain
ment viii result from this movement
The morale of an army is greatly bene-
nted by entertainment of the right kind.
This has been clearly demonstrated by
the 7. M. c. A. and other organizations
trying out this method; and the fact that
the military authorities are now under
taking this project upon such a large
scale is a most gratifying result of all eff
forts made in this direction in the past
The interesting part of this project is
that 1t is planned for the express purL
pose of furnishing entertainment in the
Rest Camps ON the other side. This or
gRnization will form part of ''the silver
lining to the cloud" of gas and other for
eign matter.

MORAL STANDARD
HIGH IN U. S. ARMY

One of the uses of the proceeds of
Liberty Loan that will appeal strongly
to the great mass of American people
is the care and attention given to the
moral welfare and protection of the
American soldiers.
Heretofore with the American army
and even now with some of the armies
of our allies the moral welfare Of the
soldier ana sailor was and is a matter
largely ignored. In the German ar
mics provision is even. mace for i'm
morality.
It is to the glory of American arms
and American national character that
of the men who wear the United States
uniform high standard of conduct is
expected and demanded. Kipling's

find their prototypes In the American
army.

during the celebration of high mass last
Sunday and many casualties resulted
President Poincare visited the church
where he met Premier Clemenceau, Car

ready arrived. The president afterward
visited the wounded in the hospitals.
The killing of the women and children
who were praying in the church has
caused a feeling of horror and intense

one paragraph of this article which
should interest you.
XXX X From Paris has come the
suggestion that the extraordinary
range of the gun is due to the projec-
tile being provided with q second
charge, which explodes when the first
stage Of the flight is completed, giving
it a fresh impetus. This theory Is
secuted by General O'Callaphan, as is
also the variant of it, that the pro-
iectiIe is fitted with propeller en-
Aiding it to continue it's journey when
At is no longer drigen by the PROJECTING
force from the gun"
Now, while I have respect for this
generals opinion, still I do not believe
that it constitutes the subject on this
score, a closed one. Far from that,
the foot that these ideas are being
considered by French experts, who are
vitality interested, should at least, give
them the option of being open for the
time.
This coincidence, to my mind, seems
ample yindication of the thought that
prompted me to write anent this sub
fect. and tina It's, great numbers OF
minds from the masses thinking upon
a given objective, should be able to
produce something that will offset the
new Hun weapon Of prabable Austrian
design.

While we have lost considerable play

will be on the job as usual, which is a
mighty important factor for the club.
With Speaker in good batting form and
Jack Gfaney and Bobby Roth, Cleveland

For the infield there are Floyd Farmer,
Marty Kavanaugh, Ivan Howard William
