TRENCH 'I QUARANTINE AT CAMP SPOILS SOLDIERS' FUN Feature Program for Thanksgiving Day at "Y" 106 Js Being Arranged?Other Notes. Thursday evening found the regiments in the vicinity of this building in quarantine. The-Thirty-Ninth and Fiftieth and some units of the FiftyEigth were restricted to their reservations. As a result all the mllltary talent was drawn from the FiftyEighth. The newly organized Jazz orchestra from the headquarters company was again with us. playing at the ." eginning of the program and between the other numbers. Under the lead-1 rship of Corporal C. C. Smith at the piano this new musical outfit is com-, ing along finely. It is expected that :he.v will be here agian next Sunday! for the home hour. Lieutenant Tap>en. of the Fifty-Eighth brought over I several members of his regimental) rlee club. They sting several selec-> :ions during the evening. The glee! ?lub has had frequent rehearsals un-' Jer Lieut. Tappen. formerly of the Cornell university glee club, and their! performance was a very creditable' >ne. The feature of the evening was I he presence of Miss Austin and Miss icheibel from the Redpath Chautauqua! ,.n? Miss Austin is from Ttelerium and I Wore she played the violin she spoke briefly concerning the war and the :errible days in Brussels just before :he capture by the Germans. She nade a most decided hit and was encored several times. Miss Scheibel roved equally popular with her soprano solos and artistic work at the piano. After a program which lasted it least half an hour the young ladies emained and sang with the men. La:er Miss Austin Joined tho Jaa orchestra and played first violin." On paving it was announced that we I vould be favored again at home hour; m Sunday, and it Is a bet that there I ..111 ?.? .. Vila. frnm 1hp Fifty Eighth and the First New Hampshire. A feature program is being arranged at Building 106 for next Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. There will be a special program of movies and highclass vaudeville. E. D. Pennington of company A, of the Fourth U. S. in,'antry, will be here with his slack vire. Those who have seen hira say hat he cannot be beaten in his line. Vnother top notch performer is Elvood of the same regiment, who is a championship roller skater. He will lo, among other numbers, h is special- j :.v: "the bottle glide." There will be ipecial music and a big sing during he intermissions. If the Fifty-Eighth s out of quarantine by that time Ser-. teants Kovasch and Allen will be on land with their black face act, which s a show in itself. The regiments served by this buildng seem to be especially strong for nusic. Our staff of pianists is large md expert We have heard many at| >ur movie shows, stunt nights, and religious services. Oorporal Smith, >f the Fifty-Eighth, is especially effoc:ive at the community sings; Fifer, Jaughlin, ^icnulty. of ihe Thii tyKinth have also helped out A new nember of the staff is Private Gagnon, if the First New Hampshire. There ire several quartets and sextets, betides all kinds of stringed and brass organizations. One of the cleverest performers yet discovered is Private Muzzicato of company M, of the Thirty-Ninth. Htn banjo and whistling act is a "Hum Dinger." The motion picture machine is going strong these days. The films have been good, the light is strong, the screen is newly cnlcaniined, the operators are expert. Private Andrews of fnmnanv F. of the Thirty-Ninth, Private Rubel, of the Fiftieth: Sergt. Grantham of company B. of FiftyEighth, and Corporal Trotticr, of company C, Fifty-Eighth, are all union operators and are rendering most satisfactory service. * CO. G. 47TH REGIMENT. Corporal Hoy D. Stevenson was visited by his sister Vera, and father Joseph Stevenson. They ^rlved on Saturday evening from Linton, Indiana, and after a very pleasant visit in Charlotte and Camp Greene, left for home on Sunday night. Corporal Harold P. Neel spent the! week-end at the home of Joseph King, j several miles from Charlotte. "Some class" to Harold. The manly art of boxing took up I the athletic hour on Monday, and so j much "pep" was injected into it that Private Oscar Wrye suffered a broken! nose. Speaking about noses, Copl. Eugene ; Graves went to the hospital Tuesday I to undergo an operation that will remove part of hia "Gravy" will never miss it. ?shnnnine Tuesday I night. Why? Hay day of course. Judging from the numerous paclK ages of sweet things that Private Robert Walker lias been receiving lately, we would opine that the state of New Hampshire is not particularly suffering a shortage of sugar. Sergeant Fred Kern leaves Wednesday for his home in Indianapolis. Ind for a short stay with the home folks. What will the rookies" do, Since the song festival took place in the Y. M. C. A. shack last Monday afternoon we have discovered a number of lusty voices in Co. G.t we never knew before. IND CAM? HOSTESS HOUSE IT CAMPNEMMPLETION Y. W. C. A. to Provide Place Where Soldiers and Their Relatives May Meet. A low structure with many windows and a broad veranda nestles amid the trees at Camp Greene, not far from the postofflce. This house, now in a well advanced stage of construction according to Young Women's Chris I..., nlcnn IB Iho Homn I Greene Hostess House. It should be ready for occupancy within a few weeks. When the Y. W. C. A. secretaries assume their duties there, another interesting phase of camp life will be opened up for the soldiers?the purely social, as contrasted with the never ending preparation for war. The building will be attractively furnished, and every effort will be made to give it a home-like appearance, with most of the accommodations of the home. Here the wives, mothers, sisters and other relatives of the soldiers may meet Rest rooms will be provided, and a cafeteria probably will be operated that the visitors and the guests may obtain a meal at the camp. The building is being constructed under the direction and authority of the Y. W. C. A., as its part in the great task of providing opportunity for recreation and social life for the soldiers. Its location is considered as nearly ideal as could be found within I he camD. and is such as will make it l possible for a maximum number of j soldiers to come to the building by walking a minimum distance. It is, J however, almost two miles from the ] quarters of some of the troops, especially those near camp headquarters. ] About 80 per cent of the quarters for soldiers are within three-quarter? l of a mile from the building. 1 HEADQUARTERS COMPANY OF i THE 39TH HAS A DANCfrfj (More Truth Than Poetry.) By "Muggsy." When the headquarters company Held their only dance, Damon wore a biled shirt; Joy and Thomas pressed their pants. The jockeys had their necks shaved And their shoes d'd shine. One and all, they voted To have a jolly time. The tlrst to arrive was MacClurkin And with him was a pretty Jane. I caught uangiots witn ner a.-nirung. Said she looked like his sister Maine. Keggs and Cute Chuck Carey Strolled in with girlies two and three, Then Martha and Elizabeth They were good to see. The band leader. Mr. Berry. Started" In to p'py, And the only dance that was a dance Was merrily on its way. Next came Emma and Winifred, Tyre, Anna and Marie, s And the cutest little blondy That Muggsy yet did see. Willis, Safford and Genial Jess And Charlie Rogers too; ( While Jocko in the corner Used up all my poo too. Asher looked cute, and nifty? He was certainly on the job. And believe me. Greasy Polak With his feet ain't no slob. Every fellow had a girlie. The drummer, he had mine. Jewell, with Joe was a waltzing While Rogers killed all of the wine. 1 Enjoyed by one and all. You never saw such a jolly crowd Assembled in a hall. V.'c then had a moonlight waltz, The lights were never seen The band stopped a-playlng While we swapped "spits" with our queens Stuber and his wife Had dances quite a few When I looked over at the doorway I spied a Dago and a Jew. They had no invitation? Nobody told them to come. And then the fight, it started. That put our dance on the bum. Willis, he got a nice cut. r:irla faintcil whf*n tlutv saw him bleed; Lord have mercy on the Dago Who did the dirty deed. For if he is ever drafted. He has not the nerve to enlist. We'll tecah him. not about a razor, Cut with a regular fist. But we should worry. We will hold another dance When we kill old Kaiser Bill, And back to Syracuse from France. CHILL SENDS SOLDIERS TO WARM "Y" HALLS The "Y" buildings throughout the camp are the big centers of attrac- j tlon in the camp these recent chilly! days. | The "Y" secretaries are putting in some strong programs in their movies, talks and otfTfer programs.
