Dunn showing up iti colorful plenty about the U. S. Army Base Hospital, Camp Greene and among the camp Quar termaster groups and here and there among the office forces in the camp. There are a number at the base hospital who are either wearing or are entitled to wear three of the silver stripes because of eighteen months service in the army. Most of the hospital force is entitled to two of the silver markers. Some difficulty is experienced in buying the honor stripes locally. When the Charlotte stores have been supplied it is ex pected that nearly every soldier’s arm that swings along Tryon street will be noticed because of the bright stripes, which shine on the left arm six inches above the end of the coat sleeve. The men of the Base Hospital De tachment who are entitled 3 silver stripes are Sgts. Nlerzwicki, Hages, Derwort, and privates Merchant, Teu ton, McCleary, Schofield, Greene, Men- ga, Palsaeck, Stocking, Richardson, Hammane, Hitchcock, LeRay and Ser geant First class Cameron. SAYS WE WERE NEEDED President Wilson ordered the re cognition of the silver stripes in a statement which holds some comfort for the disappointment of missing the sight of Boohe prisoners and the land where our heroes have trod. “The President,’’ the order reads, “desires, on behalf of the nation to express his appreciation of the vital ly essential and self-sacrificing ser vice given by officiers and men whom military necessity has held and is holding for performance of duties out side the theatre of active operations. Their contributions to military suc cess is no less than that of those who have had opportunity for service at the front. On them developed the creation of the great armies of the nation and their supply with the equipment and stores indispensable to military operations. “Without them, the troops abroad could have accomplished nothing. In many instances their retention on home duty has been due to their ex ceptional military and administrative efficiency. They have been in readi ness for any service which the inter ests of the government required them to perform and have been cheerful and without thought of self when given duties not in accordance with their own desires. The country holds in grateful appreciation the fundamen tal service they have rendered in win ning the war.’’ The officiers and men will be en titled to wear one silver chevron for each six months of service. BRINGING HOME THE BIRDS Private Eugene Menga is the de tachment hunter as well as the official detachment barber. He has been hunting nearly every clear day since he arrived at Camp Greene last fall. The boom of his double barrelled shot gun may be heard in the thickets to the west of the hospital barracks at all hours of the day. The above picture shows “Gene" bringing home some game, which he declares to be two quail and a rab bit. He stoutly maintains that it is not the first show of success that has crowned his Rip Van Winklian efforts. MAKES HIT ENTERTAINMENT BIG SUCCESS AVhlle the chill Winter winds were sweeping in icy blasts and the howl ing rain pouring down in seemingly endless quantities past the hospital Red Cross building on Sunday even ing every thing beneath that shelter was cozy and aglow with friendship. The usual Sunday evening entertain ment took place but it was of unusual quality, men from the lower camp as sisting the hospital personnel in fur nishing amusement to the large and appreciative gathering. Baird the new hypnotist from the detachment furnished his share in the program by putting a few of the boys thru stunts that aroused the amusement of the assemblage. Sgt. Chas. Cohen of the 153rd Labor Battalion made an in teresting address embelished with humorous stories and amusing anec dotes and concluding with a recitation of “My Mate” by Robert W. Service. Miss Mazle Nichols one of the fair probationers entertained the gather ing with a dramatic and well-delivered selection. With the ending of this interesting pro.gram the player-piano was brought forward and harmonious music of the “caymed” variety kept things hum ming for the remainder of the even ing.
