in a few more weeks the laundering
of three-inch guns will be heard
around Camp Wheeler. The big ar
tillery range, twenty miles in length
in Twiggs county, ten miles east OF
the camp, is rapidly being completed
and just as soon as possible artillery
practice will begin. The four-polnt
seven and the three-inch guns arrived
some time ago, and have alredy been
distributed. A quantity of ammunl-
ton has also been received.
Members of the 18th, 117th and
11Sth Field Artillery, as well as mem
bers of the Eighth Field Artillery, are
anxious for range practice to begin
They have been following training
program for several months that has
kept them confined chiefly to camp,
but as soon as the range is complet'
ed, more advanced training will be-
gin.
The three machine gun battalions
that will soon leave for overseas serv-
ice are now engaged in target prac-
tice. A miniature range has been
laid out at the foot of a steep hill
near division headquarters, and all
last week the rapid fire Of the ma
chine gun had bee kept up morning
and afternoon. Seven machine guns
are in use, and detchment, under
command of six officers and one Brit
ish officer are taking turns on the
range.
The men are being taught how tC
load, take positions, change positions
fire, set and gauge distance, and ev
erything they must know before they
can take a position in front line

made during the past two weeks.

Monsignor Patrick G. Hayes, Bishop

will sail overseas in the near future
to make a personal survey of the spir-

head of the Catholic chaplains, Mon
signor Hayes has already made tour
of many of the encampments at home,
and the information he has thus gained
at first hand is invaluable to him in
directing one of the most vital works
helping to maintain the excellent mo-

On the battle fields of France the
K. of G. chaplains, as we'll as all Cath
Ollie chaplains, are giving a splendid
account of themselves; but in the
camps at home, altho the work is not
attended with the hazards of battle,
yet it is not less arduous, requiring
unusual stamina in the men who un-
dertake it.
Many thousands of rosaries, scapu-
lars, medals and other articles of de-
votion are distributed among the men
every week, and the attendance at
Masses, whether on week days or Sun
days, taxes the capacity of each K. of
G. building. And one greatly appre-
ciated feature of the work done by
both K. of G. chaplains and secreta-
ries is the daily visiting of the men in

Definite steps have been taken to ex.
tend the work to Great Britain, and
the thousands of American troops sta
toned there, either in training or on
furlough, will be able to enjoy the same
hospitality extended by the Knights to
the American troops in France.
Coincident with these great strides
in promoting the undertaking abroad
the Knights have decided to institute
service clubs in the large metropolitan
centers at home. The need of the X
of C. clubs has been keenly felt in the
great cities, where soldiers and sailors
and their relatives halt en- route tc
and from the encampments. The clubs
will serve as centers for accommodate
ing the men and their relatives, and
will be equipped with all the essen
tials of comfort and recreation that
are to be found in the X. of G. camp
buildings.
