PUT IT ACROSS Mlt^STREL SHOW ONE OF SEASONS HITS. INFORMAL DANCE 4. it SiSSi* ■^he minstrel show, given by the ^'ase hos- ital. at the Auditorium, Thursday night, was one of the most sucoeasful military productions yet staged in Chariotte. Nearly every num’'er was enchored and features of the choral assemblies were called for continued repetitions. Corporal Joe Lawlor put across the big hit in his comedy efforts, which were of a class not tinctured with the amateu:ish. P ivate Gates sang with that ex pression which has made him one of the best known of the soldier songs ters who have performed in u.iarlotte. There were no weak numbers among the end men specialties and the organization by Sid Meye s, di- ector, and himse f a vaudeville per former of marked ability was the talk of t; e :i.y on Friday. Efforts may ,ue made to have the minstrel show re- p oduced. An informal reception and dance was given by the Wa -Camp Commun ity Se vice to guests of the Red Cir cle Inn and thei f lends at the Sol- die s’ Club Satu day evening, Novem- be 9tli. This was the occasion of the fi St- ente.'tainment tende ed guests of the Inn by the o ganlzation and was given at the Soldiers’ Club he causa of its supe io.' ente talnment fa cilities ove that of the Red Ci cle Inn. In addition to this fact, oppor tunity was given for the fi st time u show a la ge numbe.- of office s the facilities for enlisted men who have the exclusive -rights of the club when they a;e at liberty. Because of the qua antine having been lifted in the city, and the fact that enlisted men were not attending the club on tnai evening it was pe misslble to enter tain the hotel guests at the club on that occasion. Although the invitation list was con fined to the guests living at the Red Circle Inn, among whom are nurhber- ed about twenty office s and thei: wives and the lelatlves of a number of enlisted men, quite a number of offi ce s called during the evening under the imp ession that it was the o«, caslon of a public dance. They were cordially invited, however, to partici pate in the dancing which was con ducted in the open-air pavilion of the club, followed by an Info-mal recep tion in the club, when f-uit punch was ee ved, and a short musical pro gram was rendered. A new piano has been purchased for the Red Ci"cle Inn. It is p-oposed to conduct info mal musica’s at the ho tel In the future for the entertain ment of guests and their friends. Eve-y effort will be made by the; Wa”-Camp Community Se-vlce to make the home life and envi'onment of the Red Ci"cle Inn as attractive pnr guests as possible. THE CADUCEUS. By BERNARD A. STOCKING.

FOOTBALL ALL UPSET CANDIDATES FOR COMMISSION WONDER ABOUT STATUS. (By Sgt. First Class Owen Fuqua) Conjectu-e is ripe among the several Camp Quartermaster Sergeants who were candidates fo" commissions as to the bearing upon their advancement the peace armistice and new war orders will have. Some expect to be commissioned just the same while others g’^ope in the shadow of doub't. Discussion on the subject holds the, center of in terest among all the quartermaster men. Edwa d F. Golden has been dis- cha ged from the se vice and has left for his heme in Kankanna, Wiscon sin. Golden leaves many f lends in camp whj3 wish him success. John H. Goldsmith of the 77th Field Artillery, who has been a patient since Decembe ■, 1917, was discha gea f om the hospital and has left for Camp Mills, New York. Louis Dodic has returned to duty in this camp. MYSTERIES OF OUR NEW HOME.

Many of the would-bes in digesting the current periodicals find a ray of hope while others feel ce Jain after reading the same matter that the end of t^e war sealed thei" doom for the coveted bars. Orders have been given out that the training c'asses for office ’s be stopped and that no new cal's for candidates for the officer’s schools be accepted. There a 'e more than 100,000 men In the officers camps now in operation. It is being hoped by the youthful aspirants that t''e olde- officers who care 'ittle for the army life in itsell and who should be willing to al'ow their g’ory to rest 'with the golden m^meri'^s of the campaigns of 1918. will want to make way for younger men. There is an ,appa"ent advantage for the more youthful in that their percentage of ma -ried men is small. By keering the unmarried men and dischar."ing those who have families the expense to the government in fur nishing quarters, light, fuel and added allotments would be cut down by sev eral figures. A large po’ tion of the army will re main Intact for some months to come. No doubt France will ask of the United States that she leave a por tion of her army “’over there” for the ' labor Oi putting the devastated land in better condition. The quota men tioned fo” this service is 800,010 men. Albert B. Hart, in a recent article points out the need of retaining a goodly coast defense and -tne bene fits of permanent military training. If these ideas are put into effect there will be need for many regular service men. 'The candidates for commission are holding fast to the old adage “While there is life there Is hope.” Football fans of Charlotte will be given a real treat at Wearn Keld Saturday, November 16,. when the Camp Personnel will line up against the Remount 300. in the first big foot ball game Charlotte has witnessed this season.
