ORDNANCE
men At LARGE CAMP
More Than 5000 Soldiers
are now Training at
Camp Hancock.

An interesting story from the Au-
gusta Herald concerning the Camp
Hancock ordance corps has been sent
here by Stanley Sayres. one of tho
Pendleton boys stationed there.
Others are +. w. Bond Lou Steelham-
mer and Bob Livermore. An extract
from the clipping follows and may
prove of interest to those who have
relatives or friends there:
with a total population of eight
thousand or more, comprising three
regiments, the ordnance camp at
Hancock has probably gained its maxi.
mum strength FOR the summer and
the work of training these units for
overseas service Is going forward with
a vim.
"A few of the ordnance companies
have been abandoned during the past
few days, these men going to other
companies so that all units might be
brought to war strength. The ma
chine gun and supply schools of this
camp are turning out a large number
of graduates each month. Hundreds
of these graduates are now ready for
service abroad.
Like other branches of the army.
the ordnance knows no caste. Former
bankers and leaderes in business life
are working side by side with the
poorest of laborers. These men are
required to perform guard duty, |
sweep the streets and mess shacks, |
assist in the kitchen. cut wood and !
perform other menial tasks. One pri- |
vate in an ordnance regiment told the /
writer that in civil life he made 5000 !
a month as a public accountant, and
today he is assisting cheerfully in the
rough work of the camp at salary of
$50 per month. 1t is all for the cause,
he says.
Men See Real Service.
''It is . mistaken idea that the ord
nance hHanch of the service is non.
These men are taught the
Use of rifles and pistols as well as the
Use of the typewriter. the pen or the
ldding machine. The men being turn
I'd out by the machine gun school will
'e called upon to go to the very front

,airs to guns, and the casualty lists

FESTIVE AUSTRIA

For more than year Austria has
been seething with ~cvoit. AS the
Richmond Times Dispatch says, the
unhappy people of that country want
peace above ali else. They were on
the point of separate negotiations to
that end when Russia collapsed. The
conquest OF that country gave Ger
many something to promise the Aus
trians. The hope Of abundant food
from Ukraine was held out. The par
t!tion Of Roumania was guaranteed,
and with these prospects before them
the Austrians re-entered the fight.
1t is now known that these people
were fed upon false hopes. There is
little food to be had III Russia. There
is less to be had in Rormania. Mere
ACQUISITION Of lands does not satisfy
hunger. The annexation c. new do
main, however broad it may be, has
not ended Austria's prlvations, and
the fall Of Russia and Roumania has
b,~ dght peace no nearer-that is, tri-
,.mphant peace. The central powers
are still faced by powerful and relent-
less enemies, and the end Of the heart
breaking war is no nearer now than 1t
was when Russian hordes were mo-
bilizel on their northern boundaries.
It is not easy to foretell what may
come of all this. Again and again
during the past two years Austria has
seemed On the verge of independent
action toward peace, but each time
Germany has held her in check. The
more powerful government may con-
time to dominate its weak and Yacil-
lating ally. But soon or late the de-
movement will come, and when it does
the final blow will have been dealt the
German dream Of world dominion.

the Entente as political and military
ally against Germany and Austria"
the correspondent Of the Daily Mail
telegraphs from Annemasse, in
France, near; the Swias border.
The correspondent says he draws
this conclusion from oral statements
by an authentic witness whose obser-
vations extended up to the end OF
April. The great masses: of the Ger
man and Austrian peoples. this in
fornant declares, are more than sick
of the war. They think and talk OF
nothing but bread, and their morale
IS so low that the governments are
fearful of bolshevik movements.
Among the incidents given in sup
port Of the story Of terrible want is
the case of two prisoners of war en-
p!oyed at the gas WORKS in Vienna
who, he declared, were murdered by
fellow workers who ate part of their
bodies. The Arbeiter Zeitung, OF
Vienna, demanded an investigation
and the entire issue was confiscated
in consequence. The affair was re-
ferred to in parliamet, but was hushed
up in the Vienna press.
The narrator said he and his fam
ilv had lived for weeks almost entire
" on mushrooms gathered in forest
outside the town in which he dwelt.
New York, May 22.-Camel meat,
dog meat and horse meat are being
eaten in Saxony by the poorer classes
according to the Berliner Tabeblatt
Of April 7, copy of which has been
received here.
The camel meat is being sold in
Zwickau and comes from the Mohail
camcls of the Hagenback Managerle,
which gaveta show in Zwickau in
March. The camels were sold to a
butcher because of lack of fodder. The
larger camels gave from 300 TO 400
pounds of meat.
Consumption OF dog meat and horse
meat has increased greatly owing to
the wartime scarcity of meat and
the price also has gone up. Dog meat
sells for , marks Is pfennigs pound
and horse meat at ] mark 80 pfenniGs.

precedented traffic from Baltimore.
One man will board a train to the
Capital City. With him on the de-
pot platform will be dozen friends,
each with big suitcase, which is
lifted clinkingly to the car. By the
time the passenger is ensconced ne
takes up more room than a British
tank.
1T has bred nuisance" is the way
it is described by one of the railroad
officials. Most OF the offenders have
been colored people. They get aboard
a train with quantities Of liquor in
side them and with huge saitcases
and bundles Of the intoxicant in their
arms. It has become almost impos-
sible for ladies to travel in the day
coaches. We want to stop this, our
sole desire being to protect our pas

It is thought that the Pennsylvania

trains between Baltimore and Wash
ington will>eventually follow the lead
of the Baltimore and Ohio road.
