" Forces at work on the Dowd road s owards Camp Greene began laying the t j, pavement the past week, and it was 1 e stated by W. R. Matthews, chairman a [s i of the board of Charlotte, township t ,t_ trustees, that work will progress as i d I rapidly as possible and will be com- s a> j pleted within a comparatively short r j time. s When the road is completed it will i h | mean that Camp Greene will be ea$l? ' ,v from all narts of th^ CitV \ ,e j Of Charlotte and into all parts of the ] e} cdmp. The Tuckaseege road is at s js present carrying the greater part of i o the traffic between city and camp, this 1 ,o road having been paved with an 18- ( jt foot roadway some time since. i When the Dowd road is completed l H there will be a paved street down each i n side of the camp, to the back side, l ,_jand leading into the principal streets r of the city. Leaving Independence j ig square one may go down West Trade ] [e' and thence into the eastern side of ] ,r j the camp, both ways being paved like ] iy I a city street. It will be a tremendous 2t improvement over the roads of last ( winter, when there were only the# j j. worn out macadam roads leading into* j the camp. i n + ^ HOSTESS HOUSE GIVES J p CONCERT ON SUNDAY < te ' re ?- The Camp Greene hostess house is I id now ready for the soldier and civilian c- visitor, having recently been completee, ly overhauled and beautified, both in- , v- side and out. A short program was th given on Sunday afternoon, inaugurati ing what it is hoped will prove a very r| popular service for the soldiers located ir. I at this camp. The managers of the th i house are very anxious to serve the n- soldiers and their friends, and are y; excellently equipped to do 80. ly For the benefit of the new men re recently arrived here it might be well ill to state that the hostess house is loin cated on the Tuckaseege road, near an the present aviation headquarters. It at is situated In a beautiful oak grove s- that will furnish shade and comfort ie on the warm summer afternoons and of evenings. It is hoped that a large use e- will be made of it. ND CAMP REENE.

While official announcement Is lackng, there are abundant indications it Camp Greene that the order, isued several weeks ago providing: for he splitting: up temporarily of the dotor Mechanics Yegiment into small quads'and seding these squads tofacories where aeroplane parts are manifactured, has been amended. So fan is could be learned, relatively few nen of these regiments have been ;ent away for special practical train-' ng courses. '. ? Lieutenant Colonel Roy C. Kirtland, ! rho was commander of the Third klQtor .Mechanics regiment when it irrived here, is now in general comnand of both the Third and Fourth] dotor Mechanics regiments, it is un- j lerstood. It was stated these regi-; IICI1UJ lor l>UI |>uaca ui nuuuuaMawvu i lave been formed into a brigade, com* nanded by Lieutenant Colonel Kirtand, as the ranking officer of the two egiments. Major Phelps is commandng the Third Motor Mechanics and Vfajor Coker is commanding the, Fourth Motor mechanis, it was re? ported. General Kennon is commander of: :he camp. The impression seemingly , prevailing at the camp is that General Kennon has been designated as per- 1 tnanent commander of this army post, which will eliminates a degree of lisorganization which arises as a con- ! sequence of changes in the units sta- I :ioned there. Under the regular policy of military administration, the rartk- J Ing officer at this camp was the commander. : TWO PROMINENT CLERGYMEN ON VISIT TO CAMP GREENE | Camp Greene will be visited this week by two prominent clergymen,, both of whom will make a number of j addresses to the soldiers located here. Dr. Wm. H. Milton, rector of one of the largest Episcopal churches in the houth. will be In camp practically all; of this weekfl He is to speak at "Y" | building 106 Tuesday evening at 8:15 : o'clock, at 102 Thursday night, and Friday night he will be at the base j hospital. Dr. Milton is a speaker of j much force. He has visited a large: number of military camps and canton- I \ lents In the southeastern departmenfc^R/ clergyman representing the war ouncil of the Reformed church mMmmmi rill be at camp. He will speak at 'TP59 04 Wednesday evening at 8:15 o'ctouaB nd at 105 Thursday evening. ? In spite of the fact that the eventngis^H^ re rather warm now there should be ood congregations out to hear the 'M ddresses that will be made by these.^ wo gentlemen. They will be welraE rorth the while. * 2?
