Mustering-Out Order Effective Saturday
and Last Men in N, 0, P and Q to Leave
Wednesday-63d In New Role.

Blocks N, o, p and @ will be prac-
tically emptied of soldiers by the

main until Wednesday.
In short, the men and officers of
the 31st, 32d and SD F. A. regiments
and the 18th Ammunition Train will
be mustered out of service and re-
turned to private life.
Some of the physical examinations
have already been made and the
paper work will occupy several days.
Men will not begin to leave camp
before Friday. 1t is understood that
the zone system will be followed in
connection with the plan, SO that men
living farther away than $50 miles
will be sent to other camps nearer
their homes before receiving their
final papers.
Plenty for Expenses.
1t has been estimated that the av-
erage sum of money to be given a
soldier as he leaves will be $50. This
Will vary according to the distance
OF his home from Meade. He will
be given 3k cents per mile for trav-
G1lNk expenses. 1uIS VIII give uIHl
plenty for meals on the trip. Some
soldiers will still have money in
their pockets when they reach their
destination. Two cents a mile is the
railroad rate for soldiers.
Maj. Frank Henneman, who is su
pervising the rehabilitation here,
has a corps of tellers all prepared to
handle the money and the "hand-out
will proceed with dispatch.
The new government ruling will
permit the soldiers to retain their
uniforms four months.
It is planned to discharge about
1000 men of the Depot Brigade and
Development ~>battalions this week.
These are being sent out as fast as
the officers can complete the task.
Many men, of course. are being held
for further medical treatment.

BY NEW PHONE IN AIR
Radio Men of Aviation Corps Ar
rive in Meade-To Be Muster
ed Out Soon.

Attached to the 10Th Service Com
pany, Signal Corps camp, are eighty.
four men. whose experience with the
Aviation Corps has taken them far
up into the thin atmosphere of sew
eral thousand feet above the earth and
given them a taste of the most mod
ern of warlike adventures.
These are the men whose speciality
has been working with the new wire
less telephone between airplanes, an
experiment which has proven a COM
pletef success in the American Army.
The boys are members of radio
squadron. whose business it is to send
messages from airplanes and to keep
UP a constant line of communication
between scouting, bombing and battle
planes.
said Private Kunst, formerly a travel
ing salesman of Chicago. that we can
talk twenty-five miles by the new
phone and without difficulty. OF
course. this requires the best condi-
tions. Six miles, however, can be COW
cred by phone in any kind of wind or
rain and the work is now beyond the
experimental stage"
Make Regular Flights.
Private Kunst declared that the
boys of the detachment, who are all
non-coms or privates. no commits
stoned officer having been sent here
with them, are capable Of going up
just as do the regular observers. In
fact, he said the boys usually are
expected to test out plane and it's
radio equipment before the regular
pilot and observer make their flight.
Asked if the men of the detachment
would remain f1iers after the war, he
said:
There is not sufficient inducement
in a financial way for most of US, and
/ think we shall go back to private
life, with the same professions as
formerly I shall do so. at any rate
II expect to keep up my expert
ments with the phone. however, and
shall make my own instruments
When l have the opportunity l ex-
pect to do a little flying. 1t is pos
sible that the wireless can be ope-
rated between two ground stations
but under present conditions. l think
it would not be as successful as IN
the air"
This detachment is the first batch
of airnien that has been regularly
stationed in Meade. 1t was rumoreo
a long time ago that Camp Franklin
might be used as combination signal
and aviation camp, but this was never
adopted as a plan. The air service
men now here are said to be here
merely for mustering-out purposes.

duty when the armistice was signed

CAMP MEADE MAN
IS CITED THRICE
Griffith Clark of 23d Engineers
Grows -Four Inches on the
French Front.

A tall. we'll knit chap entered the
office of the colonel of the 23d Engi-
neers, in = block, late last fall and
said he wanted a job as private in
the regiment, then 10000 strong. He
had his father with him and the par
ent was smiling a proud smile.
The lad was less than eighteen
years old and his name was Griffith
Clark, son of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Booker Clark of Howard county. Md.
But you are very young" said the
colonel, what can you do to earn a
place in this regiment"
Griffith said he felt he was pretty
we'll equipped and that he could drive
an automobile as well as the next TEL
low Mr. Clark was frank in telling
the age of his son, but gave him such
a fine reputation that the colonel de-
cided to take the lad.
Griffith had an older brother, Book
err, jr., who also entered the samee COM
pany. Since then they have had fine
time together and their experiences
have thrilled their family and friends.
= The 23d went to France early in the
Year. 1t has been in some of the
toughest" places in the occupied ter
ritory and has made a name for itself
in the annals of engineer regiments.
1t is now engaged in the task of
building a fine military highway into
Metz.

Promised Commission.

Not long after the 23d reached the
fighting front Griffith Clark was cited
for bravery. Before he had been
there many weeks he was cited again
and this occurred three times. when
the commanding officer informed him
that he would be made commits
stoned officer.
Since entering the Army, Griffith
Clark has grown four inches (mak-
ing a total of six feet four inches)
and taken on many pounds of flesh.
He likes the Army life and his brother,
too, is fiourishing on the experience.
When the regiment was in Meade
last winter one of the chaplains, a
Roman Catholic priest, was taken ill.
Grifith's father visited him in the
hospital In September. Griffith lay
i'll of pneumonia in France. The
priest took the boy to his own quar-
ters and nursed him back to health.
The friends Of these boys take pride
in pointing to the patriotism of their
father, who has been one of the most
active workers in all kinds of war en-
terprises. On Thanksgiving day he
had twenty-five soldiers as his guests
at dinner, all the men having been
wounded in the battle of Chateau
Thierry.

FORMER SOLDIER FELLS
AN OFFICER IN STREET
Assailant Will Be Prosecuted by
Baltimore Civil Authorities if
Apprehended.

An officer of the United States Army
has been beaten by discharged SOL
der from Camp Meade and the mill
tary authorities are anxious to have
the culprit punished.
The assault occurred several nights
ago in Baltimore, on Scott street, be-
ginning on the midnight train of the
washington, Baltimore and Anna
polls railroad, where witnesses testi-
fed that the officer. lieutenant, was
forced to demonstrate with the SOL
der for crowding him in seat. The
officer was severely injured and had
to be taken to a hospital for treat
ment.

.aThe officer told him that he should
show some respect for a commits
stoned officer of the Army of which
the soldier had been a part. The sol
der declared that he would not let
a reprimand from him go unresented
and told the. officer that he was pr1-
vate citizen, and was as good as the

service. This is expected to fill up a
considerable portion of the camp. About
2,O00 men. mostly negroes, were sent
here Monday and Tuesday from Camp
Dix. Some had been in Meade before
going to Dix. The Virginia Coast Artil-
lery companies are being mustered out
slowly.

This regiment, which came here from
the Preside at San Francisco in August,
is one of the finest organizations in the
whole Army and the men are prepared
for any service, 1t is not unlikely that
they will be sent to New York, and per-
haps the Regular Army men of the regi-
ment, who were sent to the I'D Infantry,
may be transferred back to their old
companies.
Those who are familiar with the
regiment know the character of the
men in the 63d. They are exception

confidence in their ability to whip the

Wounded Being Received.
Preparations are being made to re-
ceive a considerable proportion of the
wounded from the other side in this
camp. A detachment of seventeen
men arrived here Saturday and were
sent at once to the base hospital.
Among these men was Sergt. Elisha
D. o. Davis. Company c. 313th Infan-
try, 10th Division. who was shot at
Montfaucon. He said the assault
which the regiment made was terrific
in its intensity and the danger was
increased by the excellence of the
German position. Machine gun nests
had been placed in woods beyond a
wide field, across which the former
Meadites charged. He saw his own
commander. Capt. Rupp, killed by a
high explosive shell.
Regular Army men in Washington
are said to be in favor of making
Meade a permanent cantonment. Bal

A strange thing happened as the
general was advancing along the
front-line trenches on accommodating

the line was quite a long way OF

discovered the general invited him
to step out, camoufage the machine

ordered to institute a search for the
offending ex-soldier, with the idea Of

Ger as to strike him. The soldiers who
leave for their homes will do so as a
whole with the knowledge of duty
well performed. They will not be dis
posed to resent any little petty differ
ences which may have arisen in con-
nection with their officers in camp.
Certainly they will not wish to spoil
their good records by doing such a
dastardly thing as assaulting an Off
Ger of the Army.
Firm in the belief that the soldiers
of Meade are gentlemen, l am conf
cent that they will offer the salute as
a matter of courtesy so long as they
wear the uniform"
It is hoped that the Meade men will
adopt the pledge of the Camp Dix
tankers, who before being discharged,
agreed to stand by every military
courtesy to which they had been ac-
custOmed during the four months in
which they were permitted to wear the
uniform.

If you combined the curative proper
ties of every known "ready-made" cough
remedy, you probably could not get as
much real curative power as there is in
this simple homemade cough syrup,
which is easily prepared in few min
utes.
Get from any druggist 21h ounces of
Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle and
fill the bottle with syrup, using either
plain granulated sugar syrup, clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as
desired. The result is full pint of
really better cough syrup than you
could buy ready-made for three times
the money. Tastes pleasant and never
spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation gets
right at the cause of a cough and giv~s
almost immediate relief. 1t loosens the
phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle
and heals the sore, irritated' membranes
30 gently and easily that it is really
astonishing.
A days use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
Group, whOoping cough and bronchial
asthma, there is nothing better.
Pinex ia a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine eX-
tract, and has been used for generations
to break up severe coughs.
To avoid disappointment, ask your

else. Guaranteed to give absolute salts
