Our latest p . victim was the remount team, which we beat handily. It doesn't take our v'"!. team long to learn the bad points of 1 tv a diamond, as was demonstrated on the remount grounds. Culbertson displayed some big league ability in that ( y;-: game that would have made Ty Cobb t P or Heinle Zimmerman envious.

I DAY OF PRAYER WAS OBSERVED FITTINGLY t Memorial Day, which was set apart fit ., this year by President Wilson as a day of prayer and fasting, was observed at Camp Greene in a number of services.
