'^SBP TO SING IN THIS GAMP . > ? ?. . Miss Margaret Wilson Will Give Concerts on Monday May 27 In "Y" Building. ? ' Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of President Wilson, is. going to sing at Camp Greene; according to. an announcement made this week by Mr.- J. T. Mangum, camp social secretary of the army Y. M. C. A."** Miss Wilson will give two concerts on Monday, May 27. a complete announcement of which will l>er made later. Mies Wilson has visited a large number of military camps and cantonments of the Unitect States since war was aeoiarea, ana *n an or mem she has been given a genuine ovation. She has been singing to the soldiers in the T. M. C. A. buildings everywhere, and it is under the ausplees of the war work council of the Y. M. C. A. that she comes to this camp. While it is .undoubtedly true that Miss Wilson's great popularity is due in large measure to the fact that she is the daughter of the chief executive of the country, at the same time sh^ has a charming voice that will delight all those who hear her. Thfe singer wants it distinctly understood that her entertainment is for all of the soldiers, both officers and men. On account of the probable demand for seats at these concerts it will not be possible for civilians and ladies to i < " gain entrances to the "Y" huts. Miss Wilson wants it understood that the entertainment is primarily and en- ! tirely for the soldier lads, and she is evading that notoriety and publicity which her presence In the city might ?y incur. Not as the President'sdaughter but as a patriotic woman who is doing her bit to bring good cheer and happiness into the life of the soldier?such is the role that Miss Wilson likes to play. ?he will be given a tremendous welcome here, and Camp Greene soldiers will look forward to her appearance on the "Y" platform. + FIFTH COMPANY. TOIRD REGIMENT, MOTOR .MECHANICS The Fifth company may well be ^ proud of tho dance it gave on Wednesday evening last. The dtince will I long be remembered, not only by the men of the entire regiment. The whole floor of the %auditorium presented a very pretty scene, with the ladies and men gliding to and rro I to the tunes played by tho Third regiment band, to whom great credit ! is due. All of the men of the Fifth company regret that they have lost tho tl offlcershlp of Capt. J. J. Peet who In tl his 8hort''8tay won their hearts. In u saying good-bye to the boys on the drill field the other day, Captain Peet. much to the delight of Cheyenne/ p Moseman, rescinded his order to take w Chey's name and void his pass for one week. After the hike^yout of the first battalion, Private Lozocerto of the Fifth p y. company, certainly showed his opponent from the Third company that weight does not always win in. wrestling.
