JjK hll 0 write any more than that first sen- j I njf I tenee to get across the fact that the n B9 8 program was right up to the minutd!' |U Ijl | The mere mention of anything "Yer- ] H llfl I mont" is quite sutticient. but since we HKi I' 'eel Prett-V flood today, and the^ weather is warmer, and peace is nearer, we will ramble along for a 1 it for your edification and iuforma- j fion.

Thus ended another of.those j ATI 11 "Vermont nights." to which we look i forward to with eagnerness. We wish I ipjB to express our gratitude to all who j had a part in the evening program.!

This is the work that strikes deep into the heart. Military rTrepvwM efficiency is not all a soldier needs to fc make him tit. Spiritual efficiency is iho more necessary.

IIII |( J // KKI.K.IOIS ACTIVITY AT "Y" 104 |[]f] HI / / The two masses last Sunday were I Hi flj well attended. About 450 men were llil III present at each mass. In the ab[! All sence of Chaplain Father Tracey, of the Thirty-ninth, who was away taking the highest orders in the Jesuit society, Chaplain Father Sheeran, of lhe Fifty-eighth regiment, officiated. On the same Sunday morning about _ TRENCH i a thousand men were at the regimental service. . Building Secretary Wlnchell spoke at the open forum Bible class on February 3, on the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel. About four hundred men heard this Inspiring talk. On Sunday evening. February 3, we had a band concert preceding the evening evangelistic service. The Thirty-ninth Regiment band rendered a fine program which was warmly ap plaudcd by a house full of men. Bandmaster H. G. Ludam swung the baton in a masterly fashion which showed him to be a first-class musician. The following selections were offered: March. Aux Flambeaux Clark Overture. Tempdweihe. . . Keler Bela Goodbye Broadway Popular Grand* selection. " Faust" Gounod Popular Number Columbia's Call * Wyman The band accompanied the congregational singing under the leadenthip of Physical Director Williams. There was some lusty singing. Religious Director Armburst delivered the sermon, the subject of which was: "Gentleman or Cad." the textual foundation being Paul's statement to the Romans. "Ye are not under the law but under grace." A number of men made the decision for the Christian life and 49 signed the war roll after the service. Dr. McKeen, the new camp religious director, was the speaker of the even ing on Tuesday. February 5. We were glad io welcome him to our hut." Private Chester F. Brooks, of Company A. First .New Hampshire regiment. has proved valuable in religious work. In one day's time he secured 15 signers of the war roll. He believes in helping the other fellow in the Christian life. Nineteen men were present at the enlisted men's Bible class on Thursday 6 p. m. The lesson was on the Lord's prayer. During the first seven days of February 7S men have signed the war roll. /^^fiblc Classes at BuilcVng 106. A successful program of B'ble study is being carried out at Y. M. C. A. building 106. Mr. Allen has a class with an enrollment of 35. At its first meeting tnree weeks ago it was organized with the following officers elected:: President. Herring. Fourth Trench Mortar battalion; secretary. Metealf. Battery D. 13th F. A.. Booster committee is composed of Slegle. Battery D. 13th Buhr 4th T. M. B.; and Richards, Battery F. 13th F. A. Every week the soldiers have a distinct part in the Bible study program. The gospel of Mark Is the subject of the study. Mr. Andrson has the largest class on the staff, having an enrollment of 49. who are all enthusiastic in tKeir study of the ten commandments. Interesting discussions take place In every meeting Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Oliver has a Bible class with an enrollment of 20 which meets Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock and studies "The Sermon on the Mount." Mr. Ellinwood will continue his interesting and helpful class on "The I.ife of Christ." and Mr. Taylor starts a class next week, using the gospel of Mark as a subject. There is a great deal of interest in Bible study at building 106 and it i promises to take on even larger pro' portions. i >r.? ui.Miilui n DII'.IA lull. | Dr. Henry .Mi-Keen. of Benitonville. Ark..

Puts on Classy Stunl Night Program at Y 106. j "The Broadway Cabareters." dircci from a long engagement with Batters j K. of the Thirteen field artillery, anc ! playing for the first time to a Camt ! Greene audience, were the star at! traction of the "Stunt .\ight" bill, at i Building 106. Tuesday evening. Febi ruary 5. j The opening number was an over'lure selection by the Jass band?ani be it said right here, that this par ticular Jass is positively the least ex pensive band ever gotten together foi the entertainment of the general pub lie. A large part of the instrument! were made up from kitchen utensils I which had been recruited from th< mess shack of a certain battery whosi name we believe it best not to men tion for obvious reasons. It Is stated however, on fairly authentic informa tion. that a certain corporal in Bat tery E recognized a long-lost anc nearly forgotten mess-pan, but that L neither here nor there, the fact o the matter is that this self-same mess pan was always musically inclined or, at least, should have developed i very good ear for music, by listen t< its former owner on soup daw. A any rate, everybody in the big irowt \N D CAMP freely admitted that the Jass was > "there." which is enuf sed. The second number on the bill was a "buck and wing" by Young and > KendrlcJc, accompanied by the Jass i band. If applause couts for.anything, i then it was "some" buck and wing dance that these two men put on, or pulled ofll?as you please. 1 The next number was a selection by the band. "Childhood Days," and was rendered in an excellent manner. A couple of Scotch songs were next in order?the kind of "Scotch" that hnosn't xopi) n "chaser." too. Private ; | Pomerantx. who sang the songs in a very capable manner, was given a Hne hand by the crowd, when he appeared I in a "take-down" Scotch hlghlander uniform, complete in every detail? even to the "camouflage" skirts characteristic of the Scotch. The Jass next rendered the "officer of the Dayy" march in a highly pleasing manner. Private Nicholeson. next appeared in a "rube" impersonation, billed as the "Photo Shop." * Nicholeson has the Rubin dialect down to a "T." and kept the big crowd in constant fits of mirth through his act. "For Me and My Gal" was the Jass band's next offering, an was well received by tho audience. A "highland' fling" dance number was the next act on the program, and was put on by Corporal Mahoncy. who danced in a highly satisfactory man| ner. frivaie atones imiuweu ,w?u an "Irish Jig." which brought the house down, or, at least, threatened to. "Too Much Mustard" was next rendered by the band in a ^'peppery" i manner. A "Jewish song" by Private Pomerantz was next in order, his interpreI lation of a Hebrew being exceptionally good, as was indicated by the big I hand he received from the crowd. The'Jass band next played a medley of national afrs in a very artistic fashion, thus bring to a close the I musical portion of the program. I Battery E deserves much praise for j the excellent entertainment which they furnished for the men, and we i hope that.it will be possible to book . them for a return engagement in the ! near future. The musical numbers ' on the bill were arranged by Koehler, 1 of Battery E, who certainly knows how to put things across in an en tertaining und efficient manner. Boxing bouts were next in order, a number of fast "goes" being staged. I The first bout brought together D'evi lin and Smith, both of Battery D, i of the Thirteenth, at 135 pounds. They ] furnished a good, snapjty exhibition, I with honors even. | The second bout brought together I Howe, of Battery D, of the Thirteenth, I and Klche, of the same outfit. They j boxed at 140 pounds, and put on a ! good, old-fashioned "sloughing match ! all the way. This style of boxing alj ways goes big with the crowd, who like a rough-and-tumble, rather than a scientific exhibition. ' Depolo and Viercl, of Battery B, 1 of the Seventy-seventh, next boxed at 133 pounds. Both men were fast and shifty, and put on an excellent bout. I Cyclone Houser and K. O. Warner, of Battery D, of the Thirteenth, were I the participants in the "star" bout of ! the evening. Both men were excepI tlonally clever, especially "Red." and they fought in a manner which had ! the crowd right on edge ull the way. 'They weigher 120 pounds. | Sergeant Leasure. former featherI weight champion of the Hawaaian : Islands, and Lamatta, of Battery E. of the Thirteenth, next staged an ex! hibition bout, and the sergeant demonj strated that he is not yet a "has-been." and might, with a little conditioning.
