THE MORNING, STAR, WILMINGTON, N. C, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 191 7. TEtf W.L I. HAD GLORIOUS "EATS" LUST More Than Hundred Visitors Car ried Presidential Dinners Sergeants and Corpora la Play Ball C. A. Staff Sow at Fort m. J. J. Hurt holds Services Fifty Tiro pillows for Boys. (Special Star Correspondence.) Fort Caswell, Sept. 22. While the sun did not shine brightly today, clouds obscuring: its rays, everybody in camp was bright and cheery. Approx imately 100 girls came down on the steamer Wilmington from Wilmington this morning, landing at the fort at 11:45. .The river was choppy, the wind high and the big pleasure steamer rocked a little as she was moored at Caswell's wharf. A number of khaki-clad sol diers awaited the Wilmington's arrival, and everyone beamed smiles expressing happy anticipations of a few hours companionship vith a girl, a mother, a father, sister, or brother, or friend. Fully 125 people visited the camp to day, being grouped in parties of from two to six; each group carried boxes of goodies, such as home-made cake, bread and candy, milk-fed chicken and other meats every bit of it fit. for our. President and none too good for the boys in camp. ' The walk to camp, which is too long to be called a walk, and too snort lO oe taueu a. lime, uujoucu, mo visitors repaired to tents of their own 4 choice. After a short "rest," during which the boys connived various and sundry plans of attacks on the boxes containing the "eats," eating com menced. A number of the visitors mar veled at the appetites they saw, and at the rapidity in which the eats were "put away." Army grub, of course, is a little coarse, which causes the boys to scorn it when there are delicacies to be had. (time of Baseball. The Sergeants played the Corporals a game of baseball this morning; the Corporals won by a score of 9 to 4. The game was called at the end of the fifth inning; the Corporals gloried in their victory, while the Sergeants ac knowledged their defeat both sides seemed glad to quit, however, though the winners state they would have re mained victorious throughout the en tire nine innings, and the losers argue to the contrary. "Slatz" Darden, the Charlie Chaplin first baseman of the Corporals, stole, home in the first in ning. He reached home-plate in high gear, but appeared to be running the Chaplin walk. Koderick Houston tried to steal third in the second inning, but he was arrested by "Policeman" Fisher, the portly second sacker of the Corpor als. . The line-up follows: Sergeants. "Provo" Lewis, 2b; "King B" West brook, 3b; Tloderick Houston, ss; 'Geraldine" Farrar, lb; David Holmes, ci; Josepn Leaioyne, p; "uottoir amim, of; Harvie Jones, rf ; Jim Davis, c. Corporals. "Ruf" Jones, p; "Chaplin" Darden, lb; "Hank" Gaylor, cf; "Policeman' Fisher, 3b; "Hallie" Haydtn, rf; Jack Rutland, 2b; "Rackie" Morse, If; "Hauckeye" Woolard, c; Snif. Thomp son, ss. Umpire, "Happy" Lewis. Scorer, "Skeeter" McQueen. Joe LeMoyne, pitcher for the Ser geants, was "good while he was going," but he didn't last long; he was sub stituted by Weatbrook, the "King B" twlrler of the Sergeants, who pitched for one inning. "Bob" Lewis was practically worthless on second, while Roderick Houston, David Holmes and "Cotton" Smith dissipated whatever hopes they may have cherished for themselves in baseball. "Ruf" Jones pitches a winning game, as is evidenced by the score. Both "Hank" Gaylor and "Policeman" Fisher got along all right, considering age and size. "Rackie Morse proved him self the pride of the game, while Jack Rutland stopped every ball that did not pass him. catching every fly he did not muff. "Hallie" Hay den played an er rorless game in right field, where he did not have, a single chance. The W. L. L. camp. is badly in need of a name. Caswell rhymes with only one word, which is bad. Sergeant Swain suggested a very appropriate name today. He suggested that the W. L. I. camp be named "Camp Crick et." He is not far afield in his selec tion, for there are enough crickets in the camp to keep up the good name. Dr. John Jeter Hurt, chaplin of the W. L. I., was a visitor in camp Thurs day. He held services in the gymna sium, and a number of the boys at tended. Complimentary from Dr. Hurt, pocket testaments were given to all the boys Saturday morning. Water Everywhere TV one to Drink. Yesterday was practically a "water less" day in the camp. The water plant in Southport broke down Friday night, stopping all running water on the post. Water for washing purposes was scarcer than hen teeth, and very few faces were washed yesterday morning. Ten W. L. 1. boys were on a detail to Southport yesterday morning to lay a water main about four blocks long. There were eighty men in the detail, and it did not take them long to dig the ditch .'for the pipe. Among the prominent "dirt-dobbers" were "Slick" Davis, "Kitchen" McKeithan and "Rackie" Morse; the latter also quali fied himself as a second-class pipe fit ter, in addition to qualifying as a first class "dirt-dobber." "Hardware" Weathers, alias 'Jim," alias "Spud," is the-latest addition to the kitchen. He has learned to boil water without scorching it, though the combined efforts of "Coaster" Grant and Frank Sheppard, also the good offices of Leon Noel and "Happy" Lewis have not weaned him from his "Wil mington blanket." "Buddah" Rhodes has almost become a fixture in the kitchen, but 'tis rumored (fair ones) that he. will be relieved before the year is out. "Dog" Sweeney has become acclimated to Caswell's weather, accus tomed to military customs, but contin ues to grab his feed and growl. The W. L. I., will be represented on the gridiron this season with a number one football team. Friday night a meeting of - the lovers of this sport was held in front of the first sergeant's tent. Sergeant Swain held forth as temporary chairman, and explained the object of the meeting. Supply Serceant R. B. Lewis was elected captain of the team and Corporal "Hank". Gaylor was elected manager. Captain Lewis states there are twenty-five good prospects 'for the team in the W. L. I., and he SUNDAY feels sure, after weeding out those who fail to qualify, that his team will be second to none on the post. C. A. C. Staff Arrives. Major E. D. Kuykendall, command ing officer North Carolina Coast Artil lery Corps, accompanied by his staff, arrived Thursday morning. Sergeant Major James L. Duffy, of the staff, re ceived a royal welcome xrom the W. L. T. boys, and he was pleasantly greeted by his many friends among the other North Carolina companies in camp. Supply Sergeant R. B. Lewis . states tonight that downy pillows lie in the express office at Southport. He will secure these pilows tomorrow and will distribute them to the boys, who are pleasantly anticipating the moments when they will lie their hard heads on these soft pillows. " The members of the W. L. I. are indeed grateful to the Red Cross chapter of Wilmington for these pillows. They are also grateful for the books . and magazines, which came from the same source. Gamp Y. 31. C. A. The camp is soon to( have a Y. M. C. A. The entire lower floor of the middle barracks is being painted and put in shape to accommodate a T. M. C. A, There are about one thousand soldiers on the peninsula, so the need of an institution of this kind is ap parent. The boys in camp were sure glad to greet "Old Joe McFarland, who is now and has been for a long time, janitor of the W. L. I. Armory. REGULATIONS FOR GOLD EXPORTS MADE PUBLIC Restriction by the Government to the Maximum Limit is Indicated by Reserve Board. Washington, Sept. 25. Regulations governing the exportation of gold, sil ver and currency, announced today by the Federal Reserve board, indicate that the government will restrict such exports to the maximum degree except where they cannot be avoided in set tling trade balances. The board .announced as its general policy that it would not authorize the exportation of gold unless it could be shown that the gold was to pay for a corresponding quantity of merchan dise for consumption in this country. The amount of gold which persons leaving the country may take with them was fixed at $200 for each adult. Five thousand dollars in addition may be taken out in currency and $200 in silver or silver certificates without li cense. The board's annoucement, aft er stating the general policy, contin ues: ' "Until further notice the board will approve all applications for the ex portation of Canadian silver coin and currency without limitation. The Treasury Department has instructed collectors of customs to pass such shipments into Canada when approved by the Federal Reserve Bank of the district from which shipments- are made. . "Continuous permits for shipments of Canadian coin and currency, with out requiring an application in each case, may be granted by Federal Re serve banks on oondition that each transaction will be reported to it without delay."

MISS JEANNETTE RANKIN TO SPEAK AT WINSTON-SALEM (Special Star Telegram) Washington, Sept. 25. At the re quest of MaJor Charles TIT Stn Miss Jeannette Rankin, of Montana! tne only woman member of Congress, today promised to er to WinBtnn.5a. lem some time in October and make a speech on woman suffrage. Miss Ran kin said upon her return from Mon- 6 re of the stri Irin e- men hut. -n ly what day she would speak in the twin cities but that it would be some time next month, probably soon after the State Fair at Raleigh. Miss Rankin expects to visit Ral eigh during fair week and she hopes to go from Raleigh to Winston-Salem. It is not at all improbable that she will make speeches in other cities in North Carolina should there develop sufficient interest among the suffra gettes to warrant her in doing so. NEGRO ELECTROCUTED FOR SHOOING DEPUTY SHERIFF (Special Star Telegram.) Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 23. At 10:30 o'clock this morning Charlie Williams, the Iredell county negro who shot to death Deputy Sheriff Miller, of States ville, some months ago, paid the death penalty in the State prison here, after having enjoyed a unique 24-hour res pite at the hands of Governor Bickett, because of the failure of the electrical apparatus of the chair in the death cell to work when tested yesterday in preparation for the electrocution that day. The electrocution went off in perfect order today, the negro main taining a stolid indifferent demeanor to the last. DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE NOT ADEQUATE PUNISHMENT Washington, Sept. 25. Dishonorable discharge of a soldier for an offense committed in time of war does not constitute adequate punishment, in the opinion of the Judge Advocate Gen eral of the army, since such a course might tend to encourage men to seek relief from military service in this way. In a note commenting on the case of a sentry who on being found " guilty of drunkenness and quitting his post as a bridge guard, was sentenced to dis-. charge, forfeiture of pay and allow ances and one month at hard labor, General Crowder gave notice that as a general rule such penalty was not appropriate.
