The army outdid Itself when It lay-
ed out the Thanksgiving dinner fo.
the men of Camp Greene, Thanksgiv
ing day. In every organization there
was a menu that bewildered those
who attempted to read the high sound
ing names. From soup to cigarettes
the bill of fare carried the eager sol
dier through the joys of testing the
best products of every clime.
Nearly every organization had print
ed menu cards, which set out the
names of the officers of the company
as well as the list of eatable to be
served. Following is the menu for
the detachment of the base hospital
and which corresponded to the din
ner placed before the other men of
the camp:

THE CADUCEUS
FINE TRIBUTE TO FRENCH SOLDIERY
The following tribute has been paid by George Clemenceau, edi
torially in the L’Homme Enchaine, to the soldiers of France:
O heroes beyond knowing—you whose names will never appear
in. the gilded rolls of your country, needing no historian to enshrine
you in the history of France! The place that you have carved for
yourself is so sublime that others will one day be jealous of your hav
ing taken it. You who dreamed, while in the lines under Are, that
you could do no more than gvle your lives, now know that beyond
death Itself you remain alive and cherished in the hearts of all
whom you have preserved. For it is you, indeed, who are saving
France at this hour, or, if you prefer it in another way, it is France
who now achieves her destiny through you. It is new France—re
awakened and revlvlAed—a better and lovelier France into whom
you have transfused the purity of your rich lives. Honor to you,
noble artisans of the great regenerated country! A fairer and more
beautiful France will attest to your having lived!
KHAKI WINS
USING STEAM
SUITLESS HOSPITAL LADS TREAT
’EM ROUGH.
Clad in the khaki of true American
warriors, because they have no foot
ball suits, the base hospital gridiron
eleven carried their warmly contested
game with the Personnel team to a 6
to 0 victory, at Weam held, Friday af
ternoon.
In summing it up the conclusion is
that the hospital boys were simply
too rough for ’em. They hammered
the line''of their gritty opponents un
til the Personnel players cried for
mercy. Once the hospital eleven was
‘ on its own two-yard line with no
downs and the line held for four
downs.

tc.l team suffered a dislocated knee as
the only victim from Injury.

Viewed the game and cheered con
stantly for their respective teams. The
Personnel players were garbed in
showey red suits while the pill rollers
wore only khaki clothes and Aeld
shoes, as no suits have been provided
for them. This contrast of attire was
the subject of some rallty when the,
game opened, but the winning score
coming in the Arst half, won the admir
aticn of all spectators for the flu
Aghters.

MODERN AGENT IMPROVES
HOSPITAL.
The latest touch of modern im
provement to come to the base hos
pital IS the use of steam in cooking,
heating and to bloy the Are whistle.
In the detachment mess hall three
monster steam coffee urns have been
installed so that the army coffee
which Alters through Into the tin cups
is of the Child’s Restaurant variety.
It is now Impossible to look into the
top of the container to see if there
will be enough of the liquid to ppply
your “buddy”, Ave men back in the
line.
Steam cookers, three of them and
each of Afty gallons capacity have
also been placed in the detachment
mess hall. These heaters will cook
meot, oats, potatoes, beans or make
coffee, besides many other uses not
yet tried.
The Are call is also expected to
come from a steam whistle in the
future. A big copper whistle, more
than a foot long and four inches
across, has been placed above the pa
tients mess hall, the most central loca
tion for the hospital. A series of
calls to designate the seat of the Are
wilLbe worked out so that concerted
action will follow dhe blasts of the
loud whistle.
Probably the most needed improve
ment which steam has wrought is
that of heating the patient’s mess
hall. Steam heaters, ten feet long
each, have been placed along the
walls and have taken the place of the
four big stoves that formerly stood
at the intersection of each table row.
The steam heaters dry out the Aoor
much better than the old furnaces and.
take up much less space.
chapter and a member of the execu
tive staff of the War-Camp Community
Service, is in charge of the event.
This fact together with the assistance
of the chapter members and especially
invited friends, insures the men in
uniform a thoroughly delightful even
ing and one characterized by typical
southern hospitality.
