18TH CO. s FAREWELL.
BANQUET AND DANCE

Tuesday evening, June II, will be
day to be remembered long BY the
men of the 18th Company. 154th De-
pot Brigade. stationed at Camp Meade.
On this date they had their farewell
banquet and dance. 1t was a very
swell" affair and one of the best that
has ever been given at the camp.
Lieut.. Dixon, the mess officer of the
company, assisted by Sergt. Wells,
the company's mess sergeant, pre-
pared the menu. Sergts. Lavender,
Ackis, Parson and Hazel, the com
pany's chefs. prepared the meal. They
certainly did justice to the name of
chef The meal was prepared in
such an excellent manner as to sat
isfy the most exacting critics. These
men are in civil life employed by
large hotels in the cities and summer
resorts as head chefs All present at
the banquet Tuesday could easily note
which the food was prepared and
served. The menu was as follows:
Queen olives Celery.
Roast Spring Chicken
with chestnut dressing.
Broiled Ham.
Dreamed Mashed Potatoes.
French Peas. Canned Sweets.
Lettuce and Tomato Salad.
Fruit Salad Ice Cream.
Assorted Pastry. Assorted Chocolates.
Fruit. Ginger Ale.
Demitasse. After Dinner MINIS.
Cigars. Cigarettes.
There were ladies present from Bal
timore and Washington. Those from
Baltimore were the guests of some of
the soldiers of the company. The
ladies from Washington were secured
through the kindness of the Knights
Of Columbus and were chaperoned by
Mrs. X. Jenkins, captain of the 18th
Company, American Red Cross, Wash
ington. Dinner was served at eight
o'clock and covers were laic for
about 200.
Sergt. Austin's orchestra played
many fine selections during the
courses and one had a very hard task
to convince himself that he was not
attending a banquet in a hall some
where in New York or Washington.
After dinner the couples wee es-
corted by Secretary Henson o. the
Knights of Columbus to the X. of G.
"a" building for the dance. The
dance started about 9:30, and amid
streamers and confetti the joy Of the
city was brought out to Camp Meade
to aid in bidding farewell to the men
of the 18th Company. In a short
space of time they will all be home,
civilians once more. Delicious punch
was served during the dance and was
quite refreshing
The company is commanded by Capt.
Dunn, who has always shown a de-
sire to give the men as much enter
tainment and amusements as possible.
Sergts. Sipes, Seay and Dichs were
the entertainment committee, and
under their supervision everything
went Well. The entire staff of the
Knights of Columbus "A" building
was at the service of the company.
The dance stopped at IL O'Clock and
the men escorted their company to
the station and all parted happily and
contentedly.

RIGHT STUFF STANDS
OUT IN MEADE: BOYS
League of Nations Idea Popular
and Allies Are Given Credit for
Part They Played in Victory.

There was something about that au-
dience which came to the main ~"
Sunday evening that made those who
looked on from the side lines think
that soldiers. new and old, are pref
ty good lot.
A little boisterousness in the begin
ming was soon dispelled by DIR. Thorn
as w. Lingle, the religious work di-
rector, when he told them the story
of how Billy Sunday asked the ladies
to remove their hats one night, adding
that all those with wigs would be ex-
cused DIR. Lingle said that he would
like to have every one keep quiet ex-
cept those who were sitting on a
tack.
DR.. Lingle's talk was not a Sermon.
but in the fourteen minutes he re-
qured he explained thoroughly the
need of Christian principles in the
relations of the nations. just as with
individuals. He told of the old feudal
system when people were not safe on
the highways of Europe back in the
middle ages and the outgrowth Of in
dependent governments which fol-
lowed this condition and which re-
suited in jealousies and increased az
maments.

Misrule for Long Time.

The lack of Christian influences"
he said, continued in international
politics until the present war, when it
now seems to have been supplanted
with the league of nations. founded
on Christian teachings. duty and OBJ
legations taking the place of might
and rights"
The boys applauded these references
and il was plain that the new code
which President Wilson has inaugu-
rated in world affairs is One which
meets a responsive chord in the hearts
of soldiers.
But in the movies which followed
there was an even more striking IL
lustration of the right thinking of the
average soldier. When the defeat of
the Germans was made evident in the
handing over of the peace terms to
the boche delegates at the Palace of
Versailles the picture went on to
show the different steps in the great
conflict which had finally brought
about the defeat of the Huns.

Cheer All Allies.

When the Belgian army was shown
marching forth to stop the Germans
at the frontier forts there was loud
cheering. and II increased in volume
as the French. the British and the
Italian cohorts were seen marching
onward to certain victory. The steady
clocklike columns of the American
doughboys. with Old Glory carried in
the center of the line, was the signal
for tumultuous applause.
But it was a fine demonstration of
the fairness of Americans when the
different armies which helped to win
the war, notably the French with
more than a million dead on the field
of battle. were given the credit which
they so richly deserved.
1t made one feel that this was the
spirit of proud acknowledgment of

Playing without it's regular catcher,
the 18th Infantry was defeated Thurs
day by Base Hospital team at the hos
pital diamond, the score being to 5.
Richardson pitched for the regulars
and was touched up comparatively lit

was considered The team was far off
in its. fielding. due principally to the
failure of Tensley to be present. Lam
caster. and Sales caught well, but they
were not used to the position and had
had little practice.
Lavoie did not develop his usual bat
ting streak, although he took full adj
vantage of his opportunities on the
bases. His home run was the result of
an error by the center fielder and an
equally poor play on the relay to Sec
ond base His injury was one of the
worst features of the game. In getting
started on fielding play at first he got
tied up in his cleats and sprained his
ankle. He gamely continued the play,
however, although it was evident that
he was badly hurt. 1t is hoped that he
will not be kept out of the game.

the men in khaki, except for few
regulars.
The remount hut was dedicated and
opened May Is. 1918. The hut was pre-
sented by Mr. Baldwin, the "Y'' camp
chief at that time. Gen. Kuhn ac-
cepted the hut on behalf of the mill

Secretary Wilson was put in charge
as executive secretary and continued
in that capacity from the opening to
the close. Secretary Rosenberg, who
was associated with Mr.. Wilson dur
ing the last four months, did excel
lent service. His genial nature and
willingness to help in any way pos
sible have made him a great favorite
with the men.
