THE CADUCEUS. UNDER THE CROSS AND TRIANGLE HARRY HERZFELD J. H. DOWNIE TRANSFERRED. Two more familiar faces are being missed since Sunday from Knights of Columbus building, Secretaries W. H. Walsh and Edmund Eenihan leav ing for service in other camps of this country. Secretary Walsh, who has been with us tor the past month, is now at Charleston, supervising the arranging and equipping of a newly completed building. This will undoubtedly re- qure two weeks to accomplish. After finshing this mission. Secretary Walsh intend.s retracing his steps and set tling again at Camp Greene. Early Sunday morning “ole boy” Ed Lenihan turned his back on Charlotte and pointed towards Paris Island, S. C., where he is bound to make himself liked with the Marines as he was l;ere. Secretary Lenihan was also at this camp a month, and the boys are sorry to see him off. THE DAYS OF YORE. ENGLISH CLASSES. NEW K. OF C. SECRETARY. All you boxing fiends tread your way to K. of C. Building No. 1. We have with us Mr. Martin Byran, known to the fistic world, as “Marty Burns,” flyweight champion of Staten Island, N. Y. He has fought such prominent battlers as Frankie Daly, now boxing instructor at Camp Up ton, WSllie Murphy, and others. “Marty” is a wizard at the science of self-defense, and all interested in learning a few “pointers” call around and get acquainted. Hundreds of boys stooped over desks with pen in hand, each engross ed with the idea of presenting the news and reassuring those at home of their welfare, heedless—as in a trance —of all the disturbances and distrac tions around. The Columbia and Pian ola completeley hidden from view by other khaki boys tensely listening as if in deep reflection. A line of im patient fellows yearning for an op portunity to show their skill at pool. And here and there is an easy chair, feet on railing, lads absorbed in the reading of an interesting magazine or book. Gone are these stirring days of yore with its picturesque crowded and over flowing buildings and. the hustling Knights of Columbus secretaries. But General Secretary John W. Ke- boe has eagerly grasped this oppor tune lull in preparing and planning ex tensively for the imminent storm. He again foresees the days of ago and promises to release a few surprises when the new men arrive. Classes in “English for Foreigners” will be opened early next week in the hospital “Y” and will be under the direction and taught by Camp Educa tional Secretary, C. M. Oliver. All men desiring aid and improve ment in the use of English are urged to register with any of the “Y” secre taries before Tuesday of next week. FROM HOOSICK FALLS. Prom Hoosick Falls, N. Y., comes J- H. Downie the new K. of C. secretary at the base hospital. He takes the place of Arthur J. Donnelly who goes to Camp Jackson, at Columbia. Secre tary Donnelly has been a live wire and his services will be much missed but his successor is entering into his la bors with spirit. BACK AGAIN. Rev. Mr. Welch, religous secretary, has returned from a ten-day confer ence at Blue Ridge, and has resumed his duties as ward visitor. MOVIE NIGHT. The usual movie night was-held at the Hospital “Y” Tuesday and al though it was one of the hottest nights of the season the audience was of unusual numbers and a great five- reel W. S. Hart picture, “Blue Blazes Rawden,” was shown. Mrs. W. S. Willis presided at the piano during the entire evening and added in no small way to the enjoyment of the show. Beginning next week two programs of movies will be shown weekly. NOT NEGLECTED. During his recent visit to Camp Greene, Major J. G. Stephenson, su pervising engineer of the camps un der the jurisdiction of the southeast ern department, made statements to the effect that our camp was not be ing neglected and that we were hav ing the same improvements made here that were being made at the oth er camps. He added that the roads here com pared very favorably with those of the other camps and that the greatest handicap in the rapid improvement of the army cantonments was the lack of material, but that this condition was rapidly being taken care of so there was no cause for annxious thoughts regarding Camp Greene.
