MACHINE GUN
SCHOOL WINS
TRACK NEE I

In a very exciting track meet that was
held on the main parade grounds the Ma
chine Gun School proved an easy win
NewboIt OF tBe Machine Gun School was
the star as he won the 100-yard dash
and broad jump His time for the hum
bred was the best that the men of this
camp have seen, making the run in 12.2
seconds.
Thomas from the school should not be
overlooked as he gave a great exhibition
of running and scored eight points for
his team.
The men from the Goth infantry won
second place will give them all run with
a little practice.
In the high jump these men won places
and the 220-yard dash won second and
third The second group was not repre-
scented by many men, but Eckberg showed
up very well winning second place in the
shot put and broad jump,
The training battalion did not show up
very well as the athletes are all out to
the range. 1t was lucky for the Machine
Gun School as these men always proved
themselves good athletes. 1t is hoped
that these men will be able to enter the
next meet.
These meets are d great success and it
is the wish OF everyone that Captain
Ashmore meet with Riddicll and Ross of
the Y, NJ, c. A, and carry on these events
regularly.

War Department Orders That
Uniforms Worn BY Discharged
Enlisted Men Shall Be of dis
sued" materials Only
MERCHANTS WARNED NOT
TO SELL UNOFFICIAL.
UNIFORMS
A Bill Before Congress to Au-
thoTize Enlisted Men to Keep
Uniform They Wear Home

War Department orders that uniforms
worn by discharged enlisted men shall be
of issued materials only. Merchants
warned
Augusta clothing merchants and the
dealers and tailors within Camp Hancock
who have been selling serge. whip-cord
and gaberdine uniforms to enlisted sol
dierS, are warned in war Department
order Just received, to discontinue the
practice upon pain of exclusion from army
camps.
The order requires commanding Off
GERS to prevent any person soliciting
orders from soldiers or delivering uni
forms to soldiers about to be discharged;
and discharged soldiers will not be per-
mitted to wear uniforms made by civilian
or other tailors.
Army customs and regulations pre-
scribe that enlisted men shall wear no
other outer clothing and insignia than
such as is issued to them by the Quar-
termaster. There is issued to the enlisted
man an overseas cap or campaign hat,
hat cord, wooden and cotton olive drab
shirts, wooden and cotton coat with col
lar ornaments, WOODEN and cotton breech-
es laced at the calf. web waist belt, laced
canvas leggins, either field or russell
farching shoes, and a wooden overcoat. If
he wears any other kind of outer clothing
he is 'out of uniform" and is subject to
detention by the Military Police, with
veriOus embarrassing possibilities before
him. Army officers say that a mans
discharge does not remove him from re-
sponsibility for attractions Of military law
committed either before or after his sep
aration from the service.
This new War Department order ex-
tends the time discharged soldier may
retain his issued UNIFORM. The present
law authorizes discharged soldier, or
officer, to wear his uniform three months
after his discharge from the service The
officer may wear his uniform thereafter
only upon occasions of ceremony The en-
listed man is given thirty days more,
latter the SaEsl9Et54l " tire Ihlee -tIilIat in
period, in which to return his uniform
to the government.
An act is now before congress, which.
If passed will authorize enlisted men
to keep the uniform which they are per-
mitted to wear home and to wear that
particular uniform, only, provided some
distinctive mark or insignia, to be is
sued by the War Department, shall be
worn.

BUT is FOR HIS ACCOMMODATION IF HE
DESIRES IT
THE ORDER.

"Al commanding officers will take steps to insure
that every enlisted in their command understands
thoroughly that the War Department does not desire to
discharge any soldier who cannot civil employ
bent 1t viii be made clear to every soldier that where
Ne would normally be discharged under orders for de-
Mobilization he may remain temporarily in the military
rvce at his written request until such time he

fmain in the army temporarily does not in any way OPP
crate to compel him to remain in the army for long Pc
Rod of time against his will. Any who would normal
have been discharged if he had not expressed his de-
sire in writing to remain in the service may thereafter be
discharged from the service at his request whenever
hb thinks he may secure employment All such as
ate retained temporarily under the above authority will
