Barracks Bible Glass Drive.

Under the leadership of DR.. w. p.
Nelson, religious work secretary at
~" hut, large number of barracks
Bible classes have been organized in
Franklin cantonment.
Two weeks ago Dr. Nelson initiat-
ed this Bible class movement, and,
with the hearty cooperation Of all the
secretaries in u" hut, soon had the
drive in full swing. Interest has been
aroused among the men, which has
steadily increased, until there is now
class in nearly every block in the
camp The secretaries are leading
some of these classes, but in most in
stances the men are taking hold them
selves and furnishing leaders from
among their own number.
The<t book which is being used
in the classes is Bosworths About
Jesus" and the subject matter is
proving to be of great interest and
help. This is a good beginning and
there is certainly a promising outlook
for this movement during the time
that the men remain here.

MRS. NEWTON D. BAKER
SINGS FOR THOUSANDS
"Y" Auditorium Crowded and She
Proves That Soldiers Like Well {
Sung Grand Opera.

Men at the Base Hospital were enter
tained Tuesday by number of vocal
selections rendered by Mrs. Newton d.
Baker. wife of Secretary of War Baker.
The boys were delighted at having an
opportunity to hear Mrs. Baker, who
has paid numerous visits to this canton
ment. Many of those who were in the
gathering were overseas men who are
here for treatment for injuries received
on the firing line in France. At the
conclusion of this function Mrs. Baker
was entertained at dinner at the Host
ess House, Mai. Gen. Jesse Mel. Carter
and his chief of staff, Col Forsyth, be-
ing invited guests.
Following this an entertainment was
held at the main "Y' auditorium at
which Mrs. Baker sang several selec-
tfons. DR.. T. S. McWilliams was the
host at the dinner and also introduced
Mrs Baker at the evening concert.
There were several other entertainers,
who kept things going between the Sc
lectionS rendered by Mrs. Baker. owing
to the fact that Mrs. Baker is well
known in this cantonment as vocalist,
the hall was packed and the DTen ap-
plauded and demanded many encores.
The wife Of the Secretary Of War
brought the large audience to its feet
when she sang When Pershlngs Men
March Through Picardy." The selec-
ton. most appropriate one for the
occasion, thrilled the $500 men who had
crowded into the hall. and she was ap-
plauded again and again. Mrs. Baker
opened the program with a selection
sang sTn May and "'Ll Damoiselle."
She was accompanied by Mrs J. j. Low

One of the most interesting expert

chased by submarine. Shelby went
over with the Coast Artillery Corps
from Fort Caswell N. c., and when off
the Irish coast his transport came
very near being the object of an at
tack by a German submarine. Only
the careful guiding of the boats COM
mander saved the craft from an at
tack. For some six hours, Shelby told
one Of the O-hut secretaries. the boat
kept closely to a ZigZag course and
thereby outwitted the German fight

Shelby also tells of the day his

zone and the situation for a time
seemed perilous, as the possibility OF

SAVED BY BIBLE
AND MOTHERS PICTURE
Sergt. Meads of 313th Infantry
Was Given Testament by Horner,
Old Meade "Y'' Man.

Charging across no mans land
with his regiment. the 313th Infantry,
Sergt. c. II. Meads,- now in the Base
Hospital. Camp Meade, was saved
from almost certain death by the
presence of his Testament in his
pocket over his heart. A bullet
struck the Testament and lodged in
the center of it.
One of the strangest things in con-
nection with the incident was the
fact that the bullet stopped in the
book just at the point where the
sergeant had placed the picture of
his mother. 1t seemed as If her
prayers had some influence with the
Almighty in the staying of the bull
let's power.
The testament was given to Sergt.
Meads by Lafayette Horner, assist
ant chaplain of the 313th Infantry. in
August. 1t was September 2S when
the sergeant was wounded.
"Horner was a " man." said the
sergeant, when he was in Meade.
He was social secretary at E-hut,
and when he went into the Army he
was made assistant chaplain. The
boys liked him very much and he
did a fine work"
Meads is able to be about again,
and called at the Base Hospital nut,
where he told the story OF his Won
derful escape. He was later wounded

as they arrive we will try to send
them to you so that you will not have

sure to place them on the left arm"
1t has been arranged to send away
as soon as possible the men who live
farther than $50 miles from Meade.
Just as soon as they arrive in the

The other men left here will then be
permitted to say farewell to military

A large number of men have come

Remarks of Religious Work
Director r. S. McWilliams at

audience observed the passing
of the great ex-President and
former commander-in-c -chief Of

when news of Quentin
Roosevelts death was flashed
across the sea a striking car
toon appeared in one of our pa
pers. 1t represented a service
flag with four stars-one for
each of the soldier sons of Col.
Roosevelt. The angel of death
was touching one of those stars
with her scepter and turning 1t
to gold. while Col. Roosevelt,
with a countenance expressing
. mingled courage of a soldier
and grief of father. stood at
salute. In the opinions of
many, there should have been
five stars upon that flag. The
fathers strenuous pleadings for
preparedness and for a vigorous
prosecution of the war were
WORTHY at least a fighting regi-
ment for the cause of our allies.
This morning at an early hour
the angel of death touched his
star and turned it to gold At
AIS am. that great heart, proud
of four soldier sons, yet aching
for one dead and two wounded.

the death of an ex-President,

chief of our Army and Navy.

judgment for the head of the great

A magnificently engraved gold watch,

this handsome remembrance diamond
stickpin, from the men, worth at least

felt and this demonstration was in
deed spontaneous and undoubtedly
more appreciated by him than the
actual gifts bestowed upon him.
The entire regiment of $500 men
was marched in military order as IL

Bissell brought his men to halt and
at present armsv they were arr
ranged in lines on either side of the
roadway
Col. Croxton rode by and the look In
his face was one Of pride. mingled
with sadness. He was leaving a regi-
ment which many had nominated the
finest on this side of the ocean and
which was counted upon to undo the
best or the worst that the much
heralded Prussian guards could show.
Passed Through Long Lines
There were tears In many eyes as
the commander, who had brought
them proudly through the early
training days at the Preside In Fris-
co and later with distinction in the
addition of the finishing touches in
Meade, passed through the long lines
and finally made his way to the sta
ton There he was joined by the
officers and the final good-byes were
said. 1t was cheering and yet q
disappointed lot of soldiers who said
farewell.
Sergt Cody made the presentation
speech Friday evening on behalf of
the enlisted men. while Capt. Horton
expressed the sentiments of the Off
GERS when the second. gift was be-
slowed. The colonel replied with q
fine appreciation of the men and offl-
GERS, but was visibly affected by the

Nothing in tie whole history OF
Meade, with the exception of the de-
parture of the famous 10th Division
itself, has so stirred the heartstrings
of soldiers as the spectacular and
dramatic going of Col. Richard {. Z.
Broxton, commander Of the 63rd In
fantry He was a classmate at West
Point of Gen. Pershing and Gen. Car
ter.
Coming at a time when the boys
were preparing to go to New York,
Washington, Baltimore, Norfolk and
other cities to perform guard duty,
his resignation, which came Friday,
was without a parallel in camp an
nails. The members of his command,
who had come to respect and revere
him as one of the finest soldiers in
the Army. were amazed and keenly
distressed. They had counted upon
having him lead them throughout
their sojourn in the service He had
served thirty-two years when retired at
his own request.
The news, "the colonel has resign
ed" spread like wildfire throughout
the regiment and camp, ana every
one wanted to know the reason. 1t
can be stated safely that but for
the fact that the regiment stood lit
tie chance at this stage of the war
of going overseas that the colonel
would never have thought of leaving
his old friends. He went to New York
at 10 o'clock Saturday morning to be-
come head of the Vitagraph company
of motion picture fame. His ex-
ceptional ability as an organizer is
counted upon to be great asset to
his new employers.
