■ 1 THE CADUCEUS. OFFICERS’ PAGE (BY LIEUT. WILLIAM L. MUNSON.) FINE WORK. Capt. Thomas .1. Nelan, detachment commander of Base 54, has been hav ing drills with his men in full over seas equipment. The appearance made by the men was fine,’ the drill ing being excellent. The very ex cellent showing made by this outfit speaks very highly for the untiring efforts of Capt. Nelan. Col. Page, who has had a world of experience in the army getting men ready for overseas service, said last Saturday morning that “if Capt. Ne- lan’s work could be improved upon he didn’t know where that improve ment was.” Capt. Wnliam S. Scruggs, who was called home last week by the serious illness of his mother, has returned. RETURNED TO DUTY. Capt. Benj. Choate, who has been spending the last ten days with his family at Louisville, Ky., has return ed to this station. WANT THE CHANCE. The officers of Base 54 were all down to give the nurses of their unit a send-off last Monday night. The nursing corp is now forming at New York. The, cheering showed that all were pretty glad that they were going across soon. FAMILY VISITS HERE. The family of Captain William Cor- nog, which includes the wife, two daughters and son, William, Jr., all of Lavonia, Georgia, are visiting the detachment commander. While in Charlotte the family is staying at 491 North Graham street. ANOTHER iyi,AJOR. Another major is added to the offi cial staff of the U. S. Army Base Hos pital, Camp Greene, this week, in the arrival of Major Frank H. Lahey. Maj or Lahey is assigned to the surgical service of the hospital. He has been connected with Rockefeller Institute in New York city before entering mil itary service. Just prior to his trans fer to Camp Greene he was in the U. S. Army General Hospital, No. 1, at Williamsbridge, N. Y., where Lieu tenant-Colonel William Sheep, former Camp Greene Base Hospital Command er, is now stationed as commanding officer. HOT TIME. The news that 54 was going out caused a commotion in the east wing of the officers’ quarters this last Tues day. Capt. Dawdle broke down and cried. Major McRae stood on his head; Major Evelth recited “the charge of the light brigade;” Capt. Nelan did the dance of the seven veils with the seven missing; Capt, Har vey looked wise and said “I told you so,” while Capts. Ray and Connoly just naturally fainted away from joy. CAPTAIN RETURNS. Captain Leaonard Hart has return ed to the hospital after spending a few days at the bedside of his fa ther, who was seriously ill at Merid ian, Miss. The father is. much im proved in health at the return of the captain. Lieut. Thomas has returned from his leave. HAY FELLERS! The tennis court in the rear of the officers’ quarters are now the scene of some bloody battles. For real strength and staying qual ities, Lieut. Freed holds the belt, ’rhe other day after playing for three hours he reefed one into the inop of the street -car road at Liberty Park. But for the genuine refined graceful stuff give Us Lieut. Cobb. There is not a fault to find with his playing, only that—well, the thing that we started out to say, as Luke McGluck would say, was that early in Ihe spring Lieut. Wagner constructed the courts with the notion that he wouid keep them in condition, but since then has been a change in quarter masters and not that we mean any thing by making the statement, yet the courts do need rolling and levell ing up. NEW CAPTAIN. Captain Edward Richardson, who comes from Rockefeller Institute, New York city, is the last officer to be joined with the staff of the U. S. Army Hospital, Camp Greene. He is enrolled In the medical service. TO CAMP LEE. Lieutenant W. F. Newhouse, form erly connected with the base hospital laboratory, has been transferred to the Camp Lee base hospital. Capt. Swanick is examining troops at the camit ’Twas worth a million dollars, that smile on Capt. Dawdle’s face, when he got the news that 54 was really on their way. Sable clouds have silver linings. Which is well since the un fortunate affair on the diamond last Saturday. r.; n:j Queen City Printing Company 14-16 EAST FOURTH STREET Office Supplies Office Furniture Stationery, etc. THE BEST PRINTING Queen City Printing Co.
