ORGANIZING.
In response to the recent call for a
thousand able-bodied medical men for
immediate service overseas four new
hospitals are being mobilized at Camp
Greene.
Evacuation hospital No. 30 which
has already sent fifty of its number
to the Bose Hospital for training in
that work, is forming rapidly, men
and office s being transferred to that
outfit almost daily.
■ The three base hospitals now un
der way are numbers 122, 123 . and 134
in addition to Base No. 92 which has
almost finished its preparation for
foreign se’'vice.
All of these organizations are locat
ed just east of the Tuckasegee road
near camp headquarters.
“Do your share and do it well,” was
the theme of the address by Captain
Gleason of the headquarters’ staff, at
Che Lafayette day celebration at the
Liberty tent last Friday afternoon.
“Some of us may be called upon te
make the supreme sacrifice,” he said;
“others will remain behind but we are
each doing our share and I am sure
we will all to it well.”
September the sixth was set aside
as a day in which to commemorate
the birth of Marquis de Lafayette, the
French patriot, who did so much for
America In the first days of her exist
ence.
The patriotic appeal of Captain Gles-
son followed which brought the
crowded tent to its feet a mass of
whistling, cheering soldiers, gathered
from all part^of the camp for the oc
casion.
The hoys eave way to their spirits
by singing the batt’e hymn of ti’e ■
public which led up to the introduc
tion of J. T. Mangum of the “Y” who
delivered the principal speech of the
afternoon. He described the life of
Lafayette from year to year and told
of his firm devotion to his ideals and
above all that the born French aristo
crat had the courage of his convic
tions.
Extracts from his address are:
“We believe, under God, that t^c
time is not far distant ’til the Stars
and Stripes, the Tri-color of Franca
the Union Jack of England and the
battle-scarred banner of Belgium will
stand side by side for the democracy
of the people.”
In concluding liis remarks Dr. Man-
gum said, “Let us one and all thank
God for our country and her ideals—
and we can look into the face of the
not far distant future to the one God
one element and the one divine effort
toward which the nation moves.”
