K EHIRLOTTE MISSING THE
BOYS FROM CAMP SREENE
Streets Appear as/They Did Be^
i fore Camp Came?Soldiers
\ Expected Back Soon.
-V All Charlotte seems to be missing
the soldiers. The streets have turned
gg; back to. ante-bellum days when a man
im khaki attracted the attention of the
r. multitude. It seems hard to believe
that a military oam? is Just odtslde
L 1 the bounds of the city. The absence
- of the soldiers, of course, is ftotlceable
mos ton the streets, in the stores and
at the moving picture shows and theaters.
But In the churches and in the
k homes things look different from what
W, they did a few days ago.
Nowhere, perhaps, are the soldiers
i more conspicuous by their absence
than at the city T. H. C. A. That
hospitable place has claimed the attention
of thousands of the boys in
k khaki almost dally since Camp Greene
jV was established, with the exception of
& the two weeks the building was closed
kV during the spinal meningitis quaranjfpf
tine, and for the last few. days a single
nnldfAr at *Via niunototlnn hiilMlnsr has
i r been considered a rare specimen.
The soldiers have helped *wonder;
fully to keep Charlotte tuned up to
j?. ' war conditions, and their absence
$ makes it hard totalize that the counjjg.*
\|ry is at war, unless one turns his attentlons
to the work of patriotic.so
cleties or keeps close watch on the
papers. The absence pf the soldiers
also bring upon the citizens the realization
that Chagotte too has given a
i majority of its young men to tfce servkv*
fee of the country. The streets are
bare of young men when things are
! contrasted wit hthose of a year ago.
Nevertheless; conditions in the last
j few days seem to Indicate that busiM
ness in Charlotte goes on at a continuous
good rate even Jn the absence of
li the soldiers. With the exception of
V- a few businesses, firms have reported
activities in the business line as good.
The city has not taken the dull appearance
that many believed would
have come about. But it Is expected
!*<>' the soldiers will be back on the streets
In the next few days, and soldipi^ac.
^tlvities will begin to Tiven up, and
Charlotte will be tuned up to the
breaking point again.
^ While it is true there has no tbeen
? /'at Camp Greene over 1S.000 men at
' ohe time since the departure several
months ago of the Fourth regular division,
commanded by Major General
George H. Cameron, there are several
thousand soldiers now encamped
there. Until the ban imposed by Col
onel Kennon, camp commander, is
lifted, these men will not be permitted
to come to Charlotte except on
urgent business. It was stated at the
camp when the restrictive order was
issued that the action was for discl7
plinary purposes, and to Impress upon
7 the officers and enlisted men alike the
necessity of observing strictly the
rules of military courtesy. The4iealth
situation of neither the city nor camp
7 exerted any influence upon Colonel
> (&rKennon in the Issuance of the order,
fpi' ^ was understood.
MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT \
AT Y. M. C. A- HUT NO. 10*
777 Wednesday evening the boys around \
Y- M. C. A. 106 were treated to a
^ musical concert-uy u.-gr\?up i>*?ywm
* .people from Charlotte, supplemented [
by talent from among the soldiers.
The program consisted of songs and
^ recitations. Miss Lavinla Boyer gave
several readings which were exceed'
lhgly bright and gave a fine opporjA
tunity for the reader to display her *
talent, which, is of the first order. Miss
v. tdicy Oliver, who Is visitirfg with folks
-in Charlotte, gave the opening num
bero of the program, which were two
'&> vocal solos.
private Cates, of the base hospital,
7 sang several solos. Private Cates is
beconrfng well knowri as a singer both
v in camp and in Charlotte, and he is
- always received with rounVs of applause.
Dr. Grogan, Y. M. C. A. camp
; secretary, gave a rendition of several

' The above picture is that of Lieu- a
tenant Arndt, commander of the De
pot band, military aeronautics. The 1
Depot Dana is wen Known, nut i
alone for its playing: in camp, but in t
Charlotte and many of the neighbor- i
ing towns as well. For the last few 1
Sunday afternoons members of this 1
band have been giving: concerts at the <
Y. W. C. A, hostess house, and these t
concerts have been said by many to
have been the best ever. The musl- t
cians comprising the band arte of at- a
tainment and there is an orchestra
connected with the band that is most t
unique in its individuality. 1
The soldiers at camp and the civil- t
ians in the neighboring towns are cer- t
tainly fortunate in having been able
to have heard the playing of this S
group of musicians. One outstanding I ^
feature of the band is its willingness f
to render its' services when they are
asked. ?|
