THE CADUGEUS MEDICAL SUPPLY LESS INFLUENZA The "latest addition to the detach ment, Jack Canine, was formerly at tached to the Dispensary, Base Hos pital, Camp Greene He is a very quiet, reserved sort of a fellow, obeys or ders without a word, never misses rev eille, draws no pay yet is always hap py. The only howl he raises is when Taps blows and he is forced to re treat into the supposed-to-be-dog-house that Tom Goldman built for him in the nearby woods The Country is saved! It took one of the limited service men to do it too. This chap works in one of the D Wards. He has outlined to Sergeant Dalquist the exact .way in which the Property Office ought to be run, al so it is said he has his eyes set on Sergeant Harold’s Caduoeus job. S. G. O:. please take notice. Warm Weather Helps in Disease Bat tle Balmy weather with its days radiant in sunshine is helping Camp Greene medical men in their struggle against Spanish influenza. The hold of the disease upon the camp, which has caused ambulances to carry crowded loads of patients to the Base Hospital, has been loosened to a degree and many of the flu victims are returning to work. Conditions at Camp Greene have been much better than physicians had expected when the wave of disease first swept this section. The pure air and warm days have been of the greatest help, medical officers assert. Enthusiastic, over the response that had greeted his first efforts at Camp Greene, Ira Hamilton, the camp sing ing leader; confided to a Caduceus rep resentative, at headquarters recently, that the spirit shown by the men was to be greatly admired. Mr. Hamilton, who is from the city of Chicago, arrived at this station Friday to take over the work of or ganizing the singing of the soldiers here, with the ultimate view of estab lishing well trained bodies of singers with each organization. Mr. Hamilton has been working at the large recruit camp at Syracuse, N. Y., where he states that the men took hold of the idea with a vim that spelled certain success. XJp until the present Mr. Hamilton has confined his work to the 810th Pio neer regiment of negro troops where he has met with singular co-opera tion and success. “Bobby” Whally was reading “Blue Bird” the other evening when a good sized piece of terra firma came up and forcably insisted that he immediately take up the “Study of the Stars” Bob by acquiesced. When he “came to” the fun started. EIGHT RETURN.

Ar thur Farrell, from New Haven, Conn.fi “Buck-a-day” Greene says that the army isn’t such a bad place after all. You get your free board, and—if you’re wise and got a lot of friends— well, you can save that Buck, less allotment and insurance. Gosh, but we must be good; Here we only have 34 men and everybody seems to direct their challenges in everything toward us The best of it is, we come out on top, too I guess we must be there We belong “Over There.” THREE CALLED HOME. The hand of Death has reached out into the intermediate families of Three of our members during the past week, calling them to their homes. Cpl, Dempsey and Pvt. Raymond Meyers, of the Caduoeus staff, and Bill Sadliek are the unfortunate individ uals. After a very pleasant leave of sever al days duration Mrs. Jennie M.
