CAMP GORDON PLANS
TO HAVE A BIRTHDAY

Atlanta, Ca, August 23-Camp
Gordon will celebrate it's first birth
day next Tuesday, and a general
holiday will be in order for the camp
The military youngster has had an
amazing growth in the one years
time. 1t began with only the small
amount of $4,000 men to it's credit:
and now usually has nearer 10000 in
training all the time.
Its barracks and buildings are be-
ing increased all the time, and it
grows faster than the famous beam
stalk of old. That it's training is of
the best is borne out by the fact
that the Eighty Second Division, the
first trained at Camp Gordon, is al
ready holding it's avn sector on the
western front in France.

THE DUKE OF CoNNAUGHT.

Prince Arthur was created Duke Of
Connaught forty-four years ago to-
day, May %, 1874, and thus became
the first royal prince whose leading
title was Irish. He was then a. young
army officer of twenty-four, and four
years later the Duke of Connaught's
Establishment Act was passed, MAX
ing the same provision for the Duke
as for his brother Alfred. Connaught
was long a nominal kingdom, and
the name, as a title of honor is thus
historic and royal The O'Connors
were the rulers of Connaught in Gel
tic times, and in the twelfth century
Roderick O'Connor, of Connaught,
became king of all ireland. After
the Anglo-Norman conquest of the
Emerald Isle Richard de Burgh, cal
led the Great, became Lord of Con-
naught. Later the title of Lord of
Connaught passed to the Earls of u
ster. The Connaught title IN 1854
passed to Prince William Henry,
brother of George Ill, who was
created Duke of Gloucester and Ed
inburgh, in the British peerage, and
Earl of Connaught, in the Irish peer
age. The title passed to his son, who
died in 1884. when the Connaught
earldom became extinct. Forty years
later the Connaught title was revived
and conferred on Prince Arthur.
