General Haig told 'em to hold the 8 April, we can't count on you. Have a heart, won't you? April 26 has been designated as "Liberty Day" by President Wilson. There ought to be a large number of Camp Greene soldiers who will i avail themselves of the opportunity!, to attend the music festival. soldiers get "over there" there will be ! a lot of folks back home who will be I looking for a quick termination of the j war. They know what the kaiser's troops will be up against. For some reasons these past few weeks on the western front have been dark ones. Hut those who are thor- ' oughly conversant with the military situation believe that it is only the shadow that comes before the dawn. 1 After the smoke has cleared away the ' advantage seems to be with the "alHere are some figures that are il- ' lumlnating and most encouraging. ' "The venereal rates of the American army In France week by week since January 10 up to date averaged but one-third of one per cent This means that only one man out of three . j?j ,.. ? n These figures fare General Pershing's. N"o army of men ever gotten together has probably had the intelligent and sympathetic care which has been given the American army In turning from France writes as follows: "On General Pershing's breakfast table each morning the one thing that appears is a report on the coni ditions of the men front the different parts of the field." The I'nited States army that is now being formed is not only going to be an efficient fighting force when the time comes for them to strike, but the l VH government is giving them such train\ fUH ing and instruction that thfey are gov ine to be better citizens when they f return home to take up the oattiea, and the problems of every day life. One has only to closely observe these men in the camps to reach this de^ hose American soldiers who have been engaged in any of the battles during the recent German offensive on the western front have given a good account of themselves. This was to be expected, of course. In common with a large number of other observers. Trench and Camp wishes that j there had been two million to assist the British when they were bearing j the burden of the offensive. The I French soldiers played a myniflcent part wherever they were attacked, but the bulk of the fighting was launched against the British, whom the Germans had an idea that they were go itj m i A training school for Y. M. C. A. IjH Ml secretaries was begun at Camp Greene^ thus week according to plans which. " ^^V | have been maturing for some time. 1 The purpose of this school is to train ! the "Y" men for more efficient ser- | Dvice ami more complete instruction in the principles of the organization. | "The school, which begins Its work I today, will be under the direction of i j)r_ j, o. tirogan. camp executive! Mflflftl secretary, who will act as dean. Y. oil 1311 MW, M. C. A. building 104 will be used lU U]|| l|| as the place of instruction. The I classes will be held daily from 8 a. fl/l I I ifll Many prominent men will constitute BU I fl Mill che faculty. Included in the list are: Rfl 111 |f|| Dr. Morse, who will speak on associa-1 tion history and principles: Dr. A. | Ah Hi Kll M- Traywick. whose topic will be: ID I | H| personal life of the secretaries: Dr. La J'rade, of Trinity college, who will lliO I I Hi speak on the historical background of the war; Drs. Rondthaler. Weatherford and Jackson will speak on the Bible. Beside the visiting notables Dr. Grogan will be assisted by Messrs. J. T. Man gum, C. M. Oliver and A. E. Bergmarf^of the local Y. M. C. A. staff. | W ~ Fp^fV' :< X' TRENCH A Mr. H. M. Beatty. w)io has been the moving picture expert at Y. M. C. A. headquarters for some time, was called to Memphis, Tenn., on Friday by the draft board for the purpose of examination. Mr. Beatty. who is an expert mechanic, will no doubt enter some branch of the service where his ability can be utilized. The Camp Greene remount station has been 'served by the Y. M. C. A. in the past, but plans have been made for a larger usefulness there. Mr. W. J. McCreery, who has been the I efficient educational work director of 1 "Y" building 102, went out on Satur- 1 day to take charge of the work. A 1 tent has been erected for "Y" use, and the soldiers located there have entered hartily in all plans. The educational department is planning to do a geod deal of work in the way of teaching English to foreign born soldiers in camp. Classes have been set up for the Fourth ammunition train and at the remount station. Chaplain Cowart. of the ammunition train, is directing the work there, while SJeUtenant Nooe is directing the teaching of the classes at the latter place. The actual teachng is in most cases done by. the none commissioned officers. All of the tenchlne is under the direction of Mr C. M. Oliver, the educational director of the camp. ThcCgmp- Greene army Y. M. C. aN V staff has a valuable addition in the ^ person or Rev. W. T. Thompson, Jr., \ who arrived here the first of the week to become religious "work director of the camp. Mr. Thompson conies here from the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church, of Knoxville, Tenn. He is a young man, though one of the most prominent preachers in the southern Presbyterian church. It .is bleieved that his connection with the army Y. M. C. A. will result in fine accomplishment. He is given a cordial welcome by every Y. M. C. A. secretary in the camp, and no doubt he will soon And a secure place in the affections of every man whom he K will serve Since the departure of Dr. McKeen the position of camp religious work director has been very e: acceptably filled by Mr. J. T. Mangum. social work director of the Y. M. C. A. Dr. W. L. Darby, who recently Ul camp to Camp Greene to do religious ^ work for the army Y. M. C. A., has recently been made building secretary of "Y" building 105. It is expected that Dr. Darby and his able staff will be able to make . things fo hum around that building. 10 Some of the most instructive and interesting pictures ever shown here . were put on the screen In the "Y" buildings In Camp Greene the past i week. These pictures are sent out by A the government, and have been shown V\ under the auspices of the military ? authorities. Schedules have been ar- ^ ranged, routing these Alms so that am every military unit could see them. Commanding officers have detailed their regiments to the different "Y" huts. These pictures depict the life of the soldiers in the American camps, showing the different kinds of training which is being given {hem. In many cases the pictures gave instructions that was invaluable to the attentive Camp Greene audiences. Both officers and men have remarked on the great value _which has been received. Those units which have not seen the pictures will- have the opportunity this week. ^ s ?'
