SOLDIER SHOW
BIGGEST HIT OF
SEASONATCAMP

The Columbia, S. c., Record has
the following to say of "The Hickory
Nuts" who will be seen and heard
here Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee:
Undoubtedly the biggest hit of
the season at Camp jackson was made
last night by the men of the Thirtieth
division, when they produced a part
of their famous original show, Click
ory Nuts"
The performance was given at the
big " auditorium on Jackson Cir
Gle by the consent of General Faison,
commander of Camp jackson, and
formerly commander of the Thirtieth
while overseas.
Iwenty-siX soldiers composed the
cast of this excellent show and of
these, seventeen have been wounded
and three are wearing decorations
for distinguished service. None of
the men had ever appeared on the
stage previous to enlistment, but are
rapidly concluding that their futures
for time as least, lie along the lines
OF the theatrical profession. This
conclusion is certainly justified since
professional critics who have re-
viewed the ingenious whole have pro-
nounced it the equal of the best given
by Kelth's in the largest cities.
The organizer and coach of this
remarkable offering is Captain O'Hay,
who is himself as great an entertainer
as any one on the program. Captain
O'Hay introduced the acts and kept
up running fire of humor that lit
orally made the setting for the play.
Each OF his appearances on the stage
was the occasion for an uproar from
the audience in response to some
brilliant sally.
"The program each number of
which was encored one or more times,
lis appended.
"This act had 'em all fooled the
audience declared. When Captain
.O'Hay announced that Private Hap
py' Hudson had brought home with
him a charming little French bride,
ana CHereupon as DAINTY and pretty
ia little girl appeared as anyone
could have expected to see, it was
later a matter of difficulty to make
anyone believe it was a frst-line
fighter of the 18th machine gun
no other than Sergeant Wilson.
Private Cunningham of the 117th
field ambul nee, did some excellent
interact solo work from his reserv-
ed seat in the midst of the audience.
'The usual grand finale ended the
evenings entertainment after which
General Faison distinguished the oc-
casion with a pertinent congratula-
tory talk to the performers. Chief
among his statements perhaps was
that declaring that none Of the cast
had been sheltered in the least, but
were SCARED warriors of the first
line fighting and had when tired and
taken to the rear for rest originated,
practiced and accomplished the play,
just reproduced, in order that the mo-

AMERICAN ATHLETIC
 SPORTS ADOPTED
After Observing Effect on Poilus, Recommends Boxing
 and Basketball for Army

A compliment to American soldiers is implied in the decision of the French governme to adopt Am eri- can athletics and physical education in France. The task of inaugurating the system of American physical edu- cation in the French Army has been assigned to Louis c. Schroeder, for merly the physical instructor of the Young Mems Christian Association college ait Springfield, Mass, and he will confine his initial efforts to the Ecole d'Artilleire at historic Fontain- bleu.
 MT. Schroeder, speaking of his work, said:
 '"The French government has been watching the work of our boys and also their play. The authorities are much struck with the enthusiasm of the American soldier both in his
 fighting and his recreation, and they feel that whatever games, physical education and methods have produced such good results are best for them to employ in their schools and army It is curious fact that the French do not approach the question of com petitive games and massed recreation from our American angle. With us
 it is largely a question of pleasure amusement and recreation, but with the French it is a means to an end i and that end is the physical recon struction of the race.
 'It is but a very short time since the French had adopted any of the English or American sports and yet 1 in that short time they have devel- | oped some fine athletes. Boxing is
 still a novelty in France, yet they have l developed Carpenter, one of the bes | boxers of the day. Naturally strong 1 keen and enthusiastic, the young mer 1 of the army have taken to basketball
 quickly and in the few contests tha | have taken place between French anC 1 Ann erican teams made the Yankees
 show everything they had in reserve

AN UNTIMElY JEST

0T is difficult to perceive what possible
amusement Jester could derive
from spreading the false report during
the mass meeting at Atlanta, Ga, the
other day, that President Wilson had
died. thus forcing Vice President Mar
shall to discontinue his address. We
must ever have the practical joker
with us and certainly none OF US has
any objection to a reasonable Jest, but
to spread the erroneous report that the
chief executive of the nation is dead,
goes far beyond the bounds of propri-
ETY. and the extended limits usually
given the joker.
President Wilson was a sick man. II
all of the reports coming from the
White House can be interpreted cor
rectly. There is no such thing as par
tisanship in sickness. Party lines are
forgotten. The public interest and
sympathy enters into the hope that the
nations chief executive will overcome
his temporary illness and soon be him
self again. Under these conditions the
public joker becomes a business and
when he spreads false report Of death
he places himself among those who de-
sire to make national mischief. The
Atlanta incident discloses that we still
have the public fool with US.
