SERGT. JONES TELLS 0F CAMP CONDITIONS Conscientious Objectors Are Given Opportunity to
 SAow Mettle
Of Birmingham. Ala. Statement December 31, 1918
 RE&0IJRCICS

Sergt. Charles Jones of headquarters detachment at Camp Pike, Ark. has returned to Birmingham, having been honorably discharged from service and has resumed his position with the Bir- mingham traffic bureau. q went to camp about eight months ago." said Sergeant Jones, land was placed in headquarters detachment where I was made secretary to Lieut.. Col. Phillip J. Kieffer, commander.
 Camp Pike is one of the best in the country and there were approximately 6O,000 men stationed there, while there were only 2000 girls in Little Rock, so you can readily see they (the girls) were most popular. However, the girls didn't worry the enlisted men as they had eyes only for the officers, so the privates and noncommissioned of- hcers were forced to find amusement in other channels. such as playing "Black Jack" and shooting craps. This really was not bad, as they only did 1t for amusement and anyone will admit that even soldiers must be entertained.
 The bluest period of soldiers life, l think. is when he passes through the receiving station and is given his blue bag with his clothes and kit and marched about two miles to the camp. It is then that fellow realizes he Is in the army, for before that time he has been looking forward expecting wonderful things and the realization mat army life Is not all sunshine comes something like Q jar. Howere, the feeling one experiences when dis charged makes all the rest worth while.
 With every bunch of drafted men that came into camp there were always a number of conscientious objectors and they were brought before the adjutant who heard their reasons for their belief. These men, if found to be conscienti- ous in their belief, were offered non- combatant service and were placed in the quartermaster or medical corps, but if they were not conscientious they were sent before a board of medical advisers, who decided what should be done with them. Many were sent back to the camp to do regular military duty and if they refused were sent to Fort Leavenworth, or some other prison. The conscientious objectors were not from any special religion, but were men of all denominations.
 "Of course, was anxious to get overseas, but when the war was over l was Just as anxious to get out as all or the men were, I believe. Bir- mingham never looked quite as good to me as 1t did when I came in from Camp Pike with my discharge in my pocket and am glad to be back and see my old friends again."
 Sergent Jones has lived in Birming- nam Tor several years, having come here from Chattanooga when O |. Buan, .secretary-manager of the Rir- mingham traffic bureau, came to this city.
