Fourth Recruit camp, has an actor well known in the theatrical profession in Private Claude J. Cramer, of New York city. Mr. Cramer has been on the stage for six years, playing in the leading vaudeville chouses throughout the United Slates and Canada. Before he was drafted In the army he did charity work for soldiers and sailors, and appeared with wonderful success, pleasing everyone who saw him. Mr. Cramer waa one of the men who appeared in Charlotte last week at the Piedmont theater, with Sid Myers, the boys with eccentric feet,' in "Getting Acquainted." Both of these gentlemen are members of the Fourth Recruit camp. * V,' x . >? Companies Nine and Ten Consolidate. The Tenth company under the com mand of Lieutenant Raeder, ha* consolidated with the Ninth company, with Lieut. James S. Gough in command. The first sergeants of the two companies .Sergeant Boggs, of the Ninth, and Sergeant Gilmore, of the Tenth, flipped the coin to ascertain who should be the first sergeant of the consolidated company, the winner being Sergeant Gilmore. The two are getting along admirably, and in the Charlotte parade Saturday they expect to show the other companies the value of first class training and discipline. Notes From Company SI;. Private James Terrence Hoban, the smiling rookie o? Company Six, camp four, is kept so busy answering perfumed notes that he hasn't time to answer mess call. The poor lad is falling away to a ton. Private Joseph Schneider, of the same company, has again returned i to us after being away for the past ] month at camp personnel office headquarters. He is glad to be back again and hopes to be sent overseas shortly. COMPANY REPORTER. A-TEN-TION! Just as we landed, off of the train It started in, a swell of a rain!

The officers that hax? been taking gas instruction for a lttle over a week under the direction of LJeut. E. D. Gilmer have begun to realize its great importance. As soon as they become proftcient in the work they will pass the instruction ott to every man in The. ciaocf.q ftr? interesting? and the drill work of getting the mask on when a gas alarm is given is a most important feature. The use of gas in this most modern of wars has been constantly on the increase until this branch of the army's training has assumed an im- . portance equal to any?other training given. The training In offense and defense, as well as the production of offensive weapons and anti-gas appli- , ances is now carried on by *n organized corps. Heretofore part of the work 1 was handled by the medical corps, ' part by the enginee s, part by the ord* 1 nance, and part by the bureau of mines. The personnel of these organ- 1 izations employed in gas wprk has ; been united under the chemical welfare service. x ' The director of this cores'14.no less j a man than Major General William . L. Sibert, the general wjbo headed the first division of tile American army to. go to France under General Pershing in 1917, and the man 'who, ;as an- engineer-ofllcer'of the army was responsible for the construction of the Gatun locks and the Gatun datp of the Pan- ] ama canal. Prior to his appointment as director of the chemical welfare service he had, for aeveigl. months been the commanding general of the , southeastern department .of,the drmy, j of which Camp Greene is a' part. ? An officer of the chemical welfare , service has been appointed-chief gas officer of Camp Greene and Is devel- ' oping gas training in this camp. Tlfe j, insignia of the corps Is two crossed retorts surmounted by a hexagon.-rep- ! f resenting tne tJaroon nngr a symooi ( of organic chemistry. This Insignia As , probably now seen In this camp for , the first time. The final object in all training in . defense in gas warfare Is to save lives ; by teaching the men to protect them- . selves. To do this it is essential that a man shall have a knowledge of and understands the principles underlying , the use of gas and the tactics which , are used by the enemy. In addition he must understand all apparatus glvfen ' him for defense, and be drilled thor- ' oughly in its use. Defense against gas is on an entire- ; ly different basis from defense against shells, shrapnel or bullets. A soldier can be guaranteed absolute protection from gas if he enters Into the training with a determination to learn ev erytblng that is given him to learn and to comply with all ordsrs given i him. Most of the gas casualties can be shown to be the result of disobe| dience to orders. Which orders were made with the on^ ultimate purpose of protecting the soldier. Discipline then is of prime importance in attain| ing the final object In training in gas I defense. A difficulty frAOiientlv onrmmtprpii I in anti-gas training arises from the I mystery which men associate with the I word "gas." "When we add to the word gas the word "chemistry" the mystery is Increased. Most people think that all gases are inflammable. Few people understand that the physical qualities of gases are as well known by those who' are trained to handle them as are the dimensions of a block of wood. Gasses are credited with all sorts of impossible qualities of movement and death dealing, even those considered educated men. There is an intensity of ignorance and superstition attached to the material of gas warfare that is not found in any other.branch of miliary training. ? It is. therefore, of pripie importance that in anti-gas training a soldier be disillusioned as to alarm and distrust that may exist In his mind, that the idea of mystery and the supernatural in regard to gns be re| moved, that he be brought to realize J i that he has adequate protection, and ( made .to feel a sense of confidence In i his apparatus. At the same tmfe he must not develop a sense of recklessness. With the knowledge that he acquires of the dangers of gas he should develop both confidence and caution. To gain confidence in the mask it Is essential that the soldier shall actually go into a deadly gas with his mask ?i. and be shown that properly han it niToras mm protection. In addi- | tion he must be taught how gas is used, how it travels .when and where it accumulates, how it can be removed, when to expect it, the signs and alarms as gas attacl-s, and what to do at the time of attack. He must learn to treat. his respirator with as great respect as his rifle and carry it through a gas defense drill in as smart a manner as a manual of arms. When it is realized that at the front a mask is constantly 1 carried, that in the front lines it is always at hand even-when he sleeps, a man awakes to the,fact that the quicker he becomes familiar with this apparatus the more confidence and comfort he will have. By drill the man learns to obtain protection in the minimum amount of time. Speed Is ee TDK .IVtitX Of""PEACE.** By Salrator Florto, 4th Recruit Camp, jffl ??* ? . M sentlal to safety. By lectures and dls- Jfc courses the man learns the common V sense of gas, Its use and defense. The drill carried dri. In -this camp Is t>ased on these considerations. The men are urged to come into the work witi. a full realization of the signlficanco and purpose of it In this as In many "other matters pertaining to,, life shd death,' powcr^ Is knowledge'. t THE ^AMERICAN j llteD CROSS ^33 This last week has tajceil the avillty ' J cf the Red CrrJs lh- way and " ' they are doing a splendid work < In / helping" the soldiers all-eVer the caipp. .J One-of the latest changes In-, the . 1 recruiting stunts the arrival of Dr.' - 1 Alexander Johnson who will be as- y*:\yV. jo date field adviser succeed ng Rev. ir.g U B.
