GLeanir1gs From
Company 2, M.G.T.C.

The Second Company had its first tour
of guard duty from o'clock Friday after
noon. AS the work was new to most of
the men, it was quite an experience for
them. For some time past this important
duty was performed by the men of the
Ordnance Department.
At first the prospect of two hours on
and four hours off, for twenty-four
hours did not appeal to some of these
short-time soldiers but, after eontem-
plating in silence the stars of the South
ern night" all agreed that the experience
was well worth the discontinue.
The experience in guard duty given to
the company so soon after it's organza-
ton is part Of the plan of the officers to
possible, Captain S. G. Blanton, the
commander of the company, in speedily
training the men, in the expectation of
finishing the infantry drill instruction be-
fore the scheduled time, which calls for
the completion in eight weeks. Their
presence of several weeks has already
shown wonderful improvement in the SOL
dIer life.
Despite the great amount of detail
work that has been given daily to the
company, captain Blanton announced sew
eral days ago that the Second is more
than week ahead-in training-of the
other companies of the Machine Gun
Training Center.
LUG oSCOid Company maze an early
start for the baseball championship Sun
day afternoon, when it won two games
the first with the Sixth Company, and the
second with the Third Company The
score in each contest was nine to four in
favor of Company 2.
The baseball team was organized at the
suggestion of Captain Blanton and First
Sergeant Walter Reed.
Corporal Clay was the big feature in
both victories. He had the Sixth eating
out of his hand all the way, and his bat
ting sailed things at the very start of the
first game. Those who stayed for the
finish of the last game with the Third hit
the hay late but happy. The game was
won in the ninth inning when the boys of
the famous Second" batted through the
lineup and scored eight runs.
A challenge has been issued to play any
team in Camp Hancock or Augusta, Ga.
A game is beng planned for Sunday, June

HONOR TO THE ARMY COOK

as E Twiggs." Mrs Anna A. Toland
of the Hampton Terrace Annex North
Augusta. has submitted the following
poem in answer to the former verse;

ing close attention to the possibilities
OF electrical power. It has a scheme
for dividing the United Kingdom into
districts in which super-power pIantS

coal would thus be consumed and less
labor needed
Naturally the most attention is give

mapped out new transportation routes

both in production and distribution
and concentration of certain phases of
the work In accordance with demon
strated skill can a single industry hope
to compete with German concerns.
They hold that competition after the
war will be between nations rather
than between individuals.
The British banks are aware of the
great demands that will be made upon
them to finance this colossal program.
They are concentrating on reserves OF
capital upon which to build an ade-
quate credit structure. These amalgn-
nations are significant Of the growing
feeling that to win their way. or even
to survive, the peoples OF the British
empire must draw closer together So
cially, politically and economically.

Preparatory to this development,
Great Britain is taking what is proba-
bly, the most remarkable inventory
ever attempted. Under the direction
of the Ministry of Reconstruction, the
Ministry of Munitions, Department of
the Foreign Office and Board of Trade
and other governmental agencies near
ly hundred committees are collecting
information throughout the empire.
These inquiries touch the life of the
British people in all its phases.
For example, the Prime Minister'S
Committee on Commercial and Indus
trial Policy is considering what indus
tries are essential TO the future safety
of the nation and what steps should be
taken to maintain and establish them ;
what should be done to recover home

Of especial interest TO Americans is
the Indian Cotton Committee, which
is studying the cotton market with a
view to the development of long staple
cottons in India
In the direction of developing new
industries the Engineering Trades
Committee is compiling list of the
articles suitable for manufacture, by
those with engineering trade expert
ence, which were either not made In
the United Kingdom before the war,
but were imported, or were made In
small or insufficient quantities and for
which there is likely to be a consid-

problems connected with promoting
these new industries will be taken up
