The soldier boys of Camp Hancock
are the most liberal and kindest-
hearted soldiers on earth.
Or at least that's what a penniless
sailor lad whose home is in South
Carolina thinks, and there's the story:
1t was a little after dark one day
last week. and several soldiers were
passengers on a train bound for Camp
Hancock.
1t was a day coach and was hot
and crowded. The soldiers were all
standing, having courteously given
up their seats to women passengers
In a corner seat was huddled a
lonely looking sailor of Uncle Sans
navy He had a worried and pathetic
look in his eye.
In the same seat with him sat a
girl. She has her husband and a
brother in the United States army,
and she loves and admires all Uncle
SAINTS men.
She sympathetically asked him
what troubled him and he poured out
his story
He had received a ten-day furlough

from Connecticut. The first thing he
thought of was home and the quick
est way to get there.
He boarded a southwark bound
train with only enough money to get
him part way 10 South Carolina, and
was now nearing the place where he
must get off, stranded, only half way
home.
The patriotic spirit of the pas
sengers in that coach manifested it
self when the girl gave the lad all
she had in her pocket book and then
told the other passengers who con-
tributed toward ticket for the UNI
fortunate sailor.
But it was not the passengers who gave
the most, but those soldiers of Camp
Hancock. who, in spite Of the fact that
they have only enough for themselves
freely offered their all.
The happy look in that T-year-old sol
dier's face was enough to repay the pa
triotic passengers for their generosity.

daughter of Mr. Henry Hogrefe also of
Augusta. Sc is very gifted young
lady, as We'll as attractive, and is loved
by all who know her.
The church was beautiful in it's aiorn-
ments of graceful palms and huge white
baskets filled with flowers, the green and
white being most effective against a
BACKGROUND of the br,gnv color of the
American flag. The only attendants were
the six usherS. friends of the groom from
Camp Hancock: Sergeant Walter j. Al

Bernard Match. Roy Duggen, and Robert
A. Fleming, who preceded the young cou-
pie to the altar. The bride was charm

"Under False COlOrs" Is Great Feature.

Pathe will soon release here an other feature in which Frederiche Warde and Jeanne Eagles have the leading parts. It is called Under False Colors," was written by Lloyd Lonergan. directed by Emile Chau- tard and produced by Thanhouser. The last time these two stars ap- peared in the same production was in Fires of Youth" which was more than ordinarily successful and was very we'll received by the critics.
 The story is most timely dealing as it does with Russia and America just prior to the dethronement or tha Car MT. Warde plays the part of John Colton. an American million aire.
 Jeanne Eagles plays the Countess Olga a Russian revolutionist- Flee ing to this country to escape arrest in her own country. she imperson- ates the daughter of Polish friend of Mir. Colton and. so gains his con fidence.

Excellent Background for Play NoaU Running at Pdldce Theatre.

"A Mothers Sin" gives rather a wrong impression of the play at the Palace in which Earle Williams is starred since it contains other ele- ments, both instructive and grip, ping, and "A Mothers Sin" turns out to be no sin at all.
 The background for the play is carefully staged and in keeping with the plot, showing no lack of ex pense to obtain the desired result, and the characters exactly fit their parts The fox hunt" alone is a feature carried out in every detail, and but one incident of the many ad- mirable details which go to make up the play Indeed, one will make no mistake in getting entertainment and instruction from this feature to be seen again tonight at the Palace, along with an excellent comedy, Hamlet Made Over" and the usual news features.
