REM0UNT NEWsIES

M. Picard gave a very interesting lee

day afternoon on the conditions in France.
His description of the battle of the Marns
and other notable battles was very real

trenches in France. NJ Picard's talk to

STORIES OF LINCOLN

Elk Senator Cullom tells the follow
ing story of Lincoln:
with the purpose of encouraging
the serious minded. care worn Presi-
dent who received us, Senator Trum-
bull cheerfully greeted President Lin
coin, saying;
" Mr.. President, I hope that you are
looking on the bright side of affairs
On Capitol Hill we all wonder that YOU
can do SO well in these trying times
especially as you have no precedent to
guide you in anything, judicial, civil
or military
Heartily .grasping the hand of SEN
ator Trumbull, and also clasping mine
Abraham Lincoln looked straight into
the eyes OF the senator and squarely
turned toward me, and I saw upon the
face of that grand man smile of con-
tentment, peace and hope such as few
men ever saw; and Lincoln thrilled
me with his manner and his words.
Even now the memory of his words,
his wonderful smile, his confident man
ner thrills me. He very earnestly said:
Thank you, Senator Trumbull, for
every word of encouragement But.
please tell the boys of Capitol Hill
that l have precedents for everything.
Tell them all that I shall commit no
dangerous error; that l shall not blum
der because have precedents, and /
carefully follow them. 1 get my prece-
dents, Trumbull by my bedside at
night get them while am on my
knees. l seek my precedents then and
there; and they come to me from the
source of all wisdom"
Ex- Senator Harlan adds the follow
ing incident:
at was after a defeat Of the Federal
army in 1868, when all loyal men were
agonized and apprehensive, that Sen
ator Harlan voiced his fears, when
Abraham Lincoln said:
Men do not realize the value of
the teachings of the Man of Nazareth.
Few men know how to say their pray
ers; and fewer still know how to pray
at all. I believe in God. and when
pray want to have my !, windows
opened toward Jerusalem ~

THIRTY SOLDIERS AT
BAPTIST ENTERTAINMENT

Thirty soldier boys of the 18th IN
fantry, accompanied by Captain James c.
Shaw regiment adjutant, and Lieut. Will
lis w, Hall, Chaplain, were honor guests
Of the Baraca class of the First Baptist
Church Of Augusta Saturday evening
when banquet was given in their behalf
The occasion was arranged so that a
fitting program might be provided for the
Observance of Father and Son Week.
Three minute talks by ne members of
the GLASS; as well as half a dozen others
among the specially invited guests, served
to create the spirit of the occasion and
bring home its significance to all those
taking part in the banquet.
Oyster stew, celery, sandwiches apple
turnovers, coffee and cake were pro-
vided for the guests, and after the
''doughboys" had eaten all that was good
for them, the evening was devoted to the
informal program that had been ar
ranged by the teacher of the class Ad-
dresses were made by Rev. Adams, of
Y. M. G. A. Building No. rs; Rev Dr.
Vines, pastor of the church; Chaplain
Hail. of the 18th Regiment; Bowdre
Phinizy, of the Augusta Herald; Private
Burdick, of Company c; and Corporal
Paul Fergus, of the Headquarters Com
pany. Major Dimes, well known violinist,
was on hand to give several especially
tine selections, and one of the most
pleasing features of the evening was the
talk by Rev. Kunkle, of the good old
Keystone state, who is here visiting the
Pennsylvania boys as a camp pastor"

There is one man in the 10TH regi-
ment whose first name has long been
a puzzle to the mail clerks and some
officers, until it is now definitely es-
tablished that his name is really I'm
known" No, this isn't joke. When
letters started coming through ad-
ed Unknown Hartman" the mail
clerks thought the missives were des-
tined for the dead letter office Then
saddler by the name of Hartman
was identified and his first name was
found to be-"Unknown. And so
Hartman, minus real first name,
known by Unknown" and so identi-
lied, is far from being not known in
the outfit. What's in a name, any
how; for Hartman is better known now
since he's called Unknown" than he
ever was known before.
The fellows who pound the type
writers at headquarters are getting
into the game these days. They have
just completed the gas course, and now
they are taking an hours physical
training work with the headquarters
company every morning, to put them
in the pink Of condition to battle with
the universal keyboard and sometimes
balky typewriters for whole day.
The library is finding warm place
in the hearts Of the men of the 18TH,
and the boys are getting as familiar
With the volumes on it's shelves as
they have already become with the
many splendid features Of the Y. M.
c. A, Building rs. There's nothing
like going down to the library and
picking new book right off the shelf
and becoming absorbed in it's contents
for an hour or so, and many a dough-
boy only regrets-especially il he is
of reading habit-that time in the
army is only too short to follow out a
good course of reading.
Another one of the 18TH regiment
officers has been called away to SER
vice elsewhere" He is Captain Fred
erick p. Schoonmaker, of Company c,
Bradford, who has the honor of pilot
ing the first old 10th Pennsylvania In
fantry company into southern sands.
Now, it is altogether probable he will
be the first of the former 10th officers
overseas. No definite announcement is
made regarding what work he will take
Ip.
Keenest interest has been manifest
ell throughout the whole regiment, fol-
lowing the suggestion in the papers of
few days ago of a prospective parade
of 10000 troops through the streets Of
Augusta Even if the plan is not fol-
lowed out the 112th will be represent
ed in a patriotic parade on Washing
toms birthday February 22nd. Com
pany 70 has been invited to Aiken, S.
c., and all arrangements for the trans
portation of the soldier boys have been
completed
The fellows who had been home on
Christmas furloughs and did not re-
reive their December pay We're the
happiest mortals in camp when pay
day came around this month, even
though it was late. They received
both Defenders and January's pay
at one throw, and such fellows like
Sergeant Major Johnson, Color Ser
geant Luse and others felt like young
millionaires for a moment.

THE WHlTEcAPs.
Have you ever, ever, ever,
Seen the whitecaps out at sea7
Have you ever read the message
That they bring to you and me?

Into bubbles on the sea.
They are like the lives of Inortals
Starting out so bright and free.
Only glimpsing through lifes portals,
When dashed to eternity.
