H 'hrough the year has been THE COU OPERATIVE PRESS. \ The Southeastern Department has been extremely fortunate in having as co-operative publishers of its sevfcnl[|iS ?ral Trench and Camp editions, such i i "nergetics, liberal, broadminded. far Ireeing burines* men &6 the owners and editors of OUR CO OPERATIVE PRESS, as we like to caH them. We feel they are one of our own family, that their service has been second to cone in the interest of the boys of khaki and blue. Of course, the trained newspaper men in khaki and blue, and in tb? .inform of the several welfare organizations have lent their untiring efforts to make the papers & success, and they deserve unstinted praise? but it all hinges to THE CO-OPERATIVE PRESS. Thelr's has been the bigger task, their's the furnishing of white paper, of type, of their time, their money, \ UC3 their training, their all.

They hare given their time, their money, column after column of'space, j ream upon ream of white paper, | boosted every lean driven, exploited j food conservation, gasless Sundays | and whatever issues the heads or our I great Democracy have considered essential to winning the war. They have done all this and more. They have "overscrlbed their bit"? and with it all the press has been ; less appreciated, has received fewer compliments and has piled sacrifice upon sacrifice without any hope or thought of reward?the consciousness of a duty well done being deemed sufficient compensation. The newspapers have kept the people at home informed not only of the j news of the war, but their forceful ( editorial comments, Ul-supporting of i the one aim of us all?to win the I war?have maintained the morale of I America as no other agency has or I would hare been able to maintain it "The power of the press"?was ! never more felt than in the troublesome times since America entered the world's conflict, and only recently have the people of America learned to at least In a small way appre-' ciate its efforts , individually as a paper, collectively as the press of the country and individually and collectively as citizens and workers In a common cause. To the press of the Southeast unstinted praise is merited for support j of everything worthy, everything esi sential, everything conducive to the } winning of the war. I The press of the Southeast has gone | even further. The co-operation of the papers of I the Southeast, their self - denial, their efficiency, their energy has made possible this special edition of Trench and Camp?"The Soldiers' and Sailors' Paper;'' all previous issues and insures the success of all subsequent ones. Scarcely a month ago, Trench and Camp,?the soldier's paper?celebrated its first anniversary, a year of endeavor. cf service second to none Id the estimation of "our boys." To renew the year's accomplishments and do it justice would be impossible. But standing out most prominently /EprOATIONAJi WORK I I AMONG SOLDIERS M The efforts of the educational department of the Y. M. C. A., under the supervision of Educational DirecI tnr- Rov Piindprherk. have been ham pored somewhat through the quaranI tine. Regardless of this many classes have been meeting out In the open and more than 800 men have been attending classes daily studying their lessons just as the children do in the first grades in school, for out of this 800 there was hardly a man who, cbuld read or write his own name and now everyone of them can do that and more too. It is interesting to note that man) of the officers take part in the classes and instruct considerably and most of them remain in the class room along with the boys. When a soldier is so illiterate thai he can't sign the pay roll to get hi* money, that is going some for usually they can do that if nothing else. Ir one company last month 40 met* could not sign up but this month every mar but one was able to read and write and to sign his name in his owh hand writing. The good people of Charlotte have contributed about 1.000 magazine! weekly for the soldiers besides othei reading matter. The business men on First stree! made up a purse last week and abou: twenty-five new Victrola records foi the soldiers and Mrs. Frank Mostellei gave twenty-five new records, Mrs Hutchinson also gave a Vlctrollf which was taken to the boys in th< wards at the Base hospital. In all more than a hundred new record) have been donated during the pas week. It will be of interest to mose wm are not familiar with educaticyial worl in the camps that the Y. M. C. A. i: conducting classes in their A B Cg al over camp Greene and any soldier i welcome to join. In fact officers se aside certain hours and when they fln< that a man is illiterate and canno read nor write it is almost made J part of the enlisted man's duty t< Join the classes. With this comes thi hearty cooperation of the officers ant among the negroes especially wher there are so many illiterates. Col. Wr A. Kent is doing all he can to teacl these colored boys what it means t them to learn to merely sign thei $28,000 hostess house at Camp Gr ; name and to read a letter. After they learn to write the first Impulse is to j write home and you can see signs all over the Y. building "Write that let-* ter home." - THIRTY IjIKUTKNANTS FROM WADS WORTH Friday morning 30 second llcuten- } ants reported to headquarters, coming from Camp Wadsworth and were assigned as follows: Clarence F.

Lieutenant Earl Johnson, who is assistant to the adjutanf, has his ? hands full these days hearing the j, story of deserters who are brought to - j camp and some interesting stories by Ithe men who for the most part have evaded the draft. In nearly every 11 case they have agred to become a p soldier in the regular way rather than r I face court-martial and most of them, . according to Lieutenant Johnson, i} make good soldiers. .One man was 5. tried this week who holds the record , and is a deserter several times, breaks ] ing away from the guards, sheriff hnd t all kinds of officers. He says that he doesn't intend to go Into the army. ? 3 J GOES TO TRAINING CAMP. 1 Lieutenant Munchow left Saturday s for ChilUcothe, O., where he will ent ter training camp. He has been asi sistant t othe adjutant in Camp t Greene and for a time was acting ada jutant.
