The Fifth Year Of the War

Antwerp. 1t was this spirit that made
the name Belgium an inspiration for
all time. It was this spirit that made
the poet sing "In Belgium reisns 4
MAN"
But the approach of the fifth year
finds in US and in our allies none of
this sublime resignation.
No longer is it a case of holding on.
The historic cry, "They shall not
pass" is obsolete 1t has served it's pur-
pose. They did not pass.
There is no negative note today II
is what WE SHALL dol not what
THEY SHALL NOT.
We that are allied in common
cause have the will to win. We shall
win.
Belgium is overrun. We shall re-
store her.
Roumania is in servitude. We shall
set her free.
Serbia is suffering. We shall heal
her wounds.
Russia is --? We shall save her
from herself it need be.
The military autoeracy still controls
the German policies. We shall crush
that autocracy.
Austria has renewed her alliance and
alIeqiance to the predatory Postdam
gang" We shall eliminate the gang.
Bulgaria still does the bidding of
Prussia. We shall stop Prussia from
giving any such bidding.
The Clown Prince pulls the strings
and the puppet Sultan responds. We
shall prepare a fine resort for Clowns
and Puppets.
We have no sympathy with that bIa-
tant Amercanisn which says, I'VE are
in it, The war is oVer!"
We have the most profound respect
for the bravery and sustained fortitude
of our allies. Civilization can never
repay the debt.
But there are facts in the situation
that cannot be gainsaid. We have gone
to the suecor of our allies at a time
when we can give the needed stimulus,
when our optimism will minister to the
morale of their armies, when our en-
thusiasm, our vim and-thank God!-
our traditions, can have tonic effect.
The fifth year of the war finds our
strength multiplying. We have just
begun to tap our resources. We are
united in thought, word and action.
And what Of the enemy?
His strength is declining. His re-
sources are being conserved with a
cruel cunning. In him there is unrest
and we hear the rumbIinss Of disrup-
tion.
We face the fifth year Of the Great
war with eonfideneeI

II is hoped that all who have read

Lane, Mergere Galnbrell, Moore, Roland
Koch and Dalrymple seemed to be more
appreciative Of the kindness shown them
by certain Of the residents OF Memphis
In order to be identified, the last named
candidate carried Il large roll of paper
around with him!
AT birmingham, the next long stop, the
men were royalty treated by the Red
Cross ladies'. and many Of them treated
to automobile rides over the city.
We were nearly all asleep when we
passed through Atlanta. but Candidate
caldwell was widcawake and managed to
stay over until the next train came
through,
days Of train life, the men were glad to
reach Camp Hancock where they could
sit down 10 a meal and not have to eat
"corned willie" and tomatoes.
By now. nearly all the men have been
down to Augusta, and many have already
made friends there
Candidates Ford and Garvin. both Of
whom are Shrmers, took in the Shriner
jubilee in Augusta last week. Their
only complaint was that there was so
much to eat that they made themselves
sick Candidate Garyin evidently found
someone down there whom he likes real
well for he has been going back regularly
ever since.
The main topic under discussion in the
14th company last week. was the length
Of the course Of instruction. When we
entered the O. r. c. at Camp Macarthur
we were told that 1t would be three

weeks there we were ordered to Camp

that we are to be given fourt months

Another of the splendid entertain
ments arranged by Lieutenant Colo
mel Lee for the Specialists School was
given at ~" n last Saturday after
noon, before n large and enthusiastic
audience. Although attendance was
not compulsory practically everyone
in the School was present, including
the officers, many of whom had their
ladies' with them
The show was a top-notcher from
start to finish, and the boys in khaki
were given a genuine treat; by their
enthusiastic applause they manifested
their warm appreciation of the work
of the professional entertainers who
so generously came out to Camp from
Augusta for the occasion. Through
the influence and activity Of Lieut.
Albert A. Millman, who is closely as
ISOLATED with the management OF the
Loew Theatre organization, il is pos
sible TO have the regular entertainers
from the Loew "Modieska' theatre
and from the Keith "Wells' theatre

stage, and this arrangement viii be
