COL. SAXON ACCEPTS
BUILDING FOR SOLDIERS
Y. M. c. A. Bungalow in &C Section
Dedicated With Special
Service.

The new Y. M. c. A. building &C. the
bungalow located up among the pines
near the new ofhcers' training camp,
was formally dedicated Sunday night.
Judson ]. McKim, camp general sec
rotary, was the principal speaker, and
he turned over the building to Col.
Saxon. commander of the 154th Depot
Brigade. who accepted 1t in behalf OF
the men of that brigade and other COM
panies located In that section.
Col. Saxon took occasion to praise the
work Of the association, declaring that
it is an organization vital to the well
fare Of the soldiers. During the Span
American war, the Philippine Occu-
patton and the recent Mexican border
trouble, he said, the association per-
formed a service to the army which
could not be estimated in terms of fig
ures or words.
Mr.. McKim told of the increasing
scope Of work which the association
was undertaking here at camp. citing
the fact that already ten buildings are
in operation and that two more are In
the course Of construction. He then h
impressed upon the audience the sig
nificance Of the red triangle-that II
stood first of all for religion. In every
Army camp throughout the United
States, in France. Italy and Russia. he
said. the red triangle can be seen, tbs
emblem that combines fellowship and
good cheer and religion.
The 164th Depot Brigade Band fur
nished q very enjoyable musical pro-
gram. T.. E. Stacey, executive Secre'
tary Of the building, was chairman O.
the meeting. Chaplain Whitman offeret
the opening and closing prayers.

BOXING BOUTS AT ~" BUILDING;
USUAL SKILL DEMONSTRATED

Owing to the fact that a number OF
the boxers of the 315th had passes last
Saturday, the program at the "Y" build
ing last Saturday night was not so
large as usual, but the quality was
there the same as on previous coca
sions.
To start the ropes swinging, Stanley
Hinkle and Doherty, both of Company
F, S15th Infantry. went three rounds.
Both of these men are old hands at the
game and gave a good exhibition.
The second bout was between Kilgus
of the Supply Company. 316th, and
Krussan Of Company G., 315th Kilgus
was heavier than his opponent and may
have had little the better Of the ar
gument.
Three fast rounds were fought be-
tween Mike Flemming of Company G.,
315th, and Joe Gavin of the Supply
