Dinner <m Cokiucl Macomb's Birthday. | At the dinner given in honor of Colonel Macomb's birthday Monday, October 21. by officers of camp head- I quarters, the following members of i the orchestra at Camp Four gave a! concert, under the leadership of Pri- j vate Oscar Appel: Alfred Barlettajio. clarinet. Jack Clessel. cello. SJ. B. Schlaudecker. piano. Oscar Appel. violin. Private JC. LongtixfT of the Camp j Four quartet, sang several solos. The music was greatly enjoyed by | the officers, and the orchestra and I singer resi>onded to several encores. | Company Nineteen, which in the past has shovn that 'action' speaks louder than words, issues a challenge; to any b;tseball team in Camp Greene, and said teams that accept must be good. Company Nine or Base Uos- f pital Ninety-two are preferred. Company Nineteen has won nine games; and lost none, and claims the most skilled and handsome company design in Recruit Camp Four. Company Nineteen has subscribed for over $11.000 worth of Liberty bonds, which is a record worth talking about. Company Nineteen will drill alongside of any outfit in Recruit Camp Four for L'nder Lieutenant Swain and Lieutenant Rohrer. Company Nineteen is instill.>?! with such "pep'* and "never say die" spirit, as has never before been seen in a limited service outfit. Compnnv Nineteen takes its hat off to no one. and must be shown by any company that claims superiority in IJU UJ anv way. snape or lurm. ^ H so this kops for all companies in Recruit Camp Four. Before you claim i ionv honors vou had better consult Company Nineteen. HARRY J. WEISFIAM. S?'ic:e:irit Company Nineteen? "A Man Ttuinks f-Yoni Company Three. Cha'lencc to deadly combat! O.
