in i-ownu nTlwell known in northeast Mississippi
earned on by the War and Navy De-, .g ar o among

camp actmt.es w.ll, with the view ot , the ... ,
raising tne money, Degin on iuw
day, November 27, an active cam
paign which will continue throughout
the remainder of the week.
Announcement to the effe.t has
been made by Mr. V. B. Imes chair
man of the joint committee, who de
clares that the campaign will be
vigorously waged and that every
possible effort will be made to se
cure the county's full quota.
v Citizens of Columbus and Lowndes
county, like those of other communi
ties throughout the country, have
had numerous calls made upon themi
for money since the United States
entered the war against Germany;
but they have responded liberally to
all of them,, and it is believed that
the call for funds for training camp
activities will meet an equally gen
erous response. The work is just as
important "as any other for which
contributions have been sought, and
local citizens, who have so forcefully
demonstrated their loyalty and love
" for the soldiers on previous occa
' sions, can not afford 4 lagjiehind
nffw.
v -The committee was appointed at
)the request of Mr. George P. Money,
representative of the War and Navy
Departments' commissions on train
ing camp activities, who visited Co
lumbus about ten days ago and who
prevailed' upon the Chamber of Com
merce 'and the Ladies' Civic League
to take up the work here.
Amusements at Camp Pik.
Little Rock. Arki, Nov. 17. Wbea
Johnnie comes marching home, and
among the things he has to tell is
how he saw Maude Adams for two
bits, and hud an orchestra seat, just
ad.d it to the wonderful things at
Camp Pike, and before Johnie has
. told half of the story you will con-
, ':ler this a most wonderful camp,
and not class Miss Adams with the
movie queens or form the impression
that she has joined sto'k.
Within the next two weeks for
they erect buildings very, very rapid
ly at Camp -Pike when they start
them there will be in operation an
enormous theatre under the direct
management of Klaw & Erlanger.
The seating capacity will equal that,
of any city auditorium, and when the
- building is completed the great stars
of the theatrical firmament will
visit Camp Pike, presenting the plays
which have made them world famous.
And the price of admission to these
attractions, no matter how great the
star, will be 25 cents, better known
in Southern camps as "two bits."
Should these stars appear at the city
theatres the prices will range from
$2.00 downward .with wares added.
- These theatres are provided by the
War Service Board and the stars will
, joujney from one cantonment to
another. There are picture shows
also under the supervision of this
board and the Y. M. C. A.
Dance halls are also provided, but
all are off the cantonment grounds,
and under city supervision. The
' soldier patronizes these places liber
ally, and the management has been
restricted to such classes as insure
the patronage of only the respect
able .soldier, with his ever readiness to
give a nickname to' the new things
as they appear, has dubbed the dance
halls an "jitney wrestles." He re
fers to the dance as a wrestling
match, arid the halls all "harge five
cents per dance, hence the balance
f the phrase.
Mr. II. F. Simrall received a letter
: tveral days ago from the Bureau of
var risk insurance of the treasury
department, thanking him for the
lending of his services to sell gov
ernment insurance to the Boldiers.
The letter stated that in the near fu
tures his services would be called
for.

ITALIANS ACTIVE
ALONG THE PIAVE
NOW HOPEFUL OF SAVING
VENICE BY WIDE WATER
BARRIER.
Rome, Nov. 17. Today's indica
tions based on news received from
the Trento front were that the full
force of the French and British con
tingent's would soon be hurled in the
battle to check the enemy.
Only the allies' artillery have so
far engaged in the Piave line battle.
The allied forces are arriving hourly,
both by train and on foot .
Large units of French troops, too
impatient to await steam trasporta
tion. marched across the Alpine pass
es which are deep in snow.
The British and French troops, ar-
riving in the best of spirits, brought chairman, J. T. W. Hairston, R. B.

The Italian navy was active again Committee No. 3: J. F. Frierson,
today against the enemy positions
along the lower Piave. The booming
could be heard distinctly in Rome,
Along the lower Piave the floods
have reached several feet in depth
below where the flood gates have been
opened. The hope of the Italians to
save Venice lies in a barrier of water
twelve miles in width which is keep
ing the invaders from the Venetian
lagoons.
Latest reports show that enemy
efforts to bring over large forces
across the Pisve on pontoons have
met with failure.
It was reported today that British

Students of the Industrial Insti

former United States Senator, who if
endeavoring to raise $150,000 in
Mississippi for Y. M. C. A. war work '

the young ladies upon the splendid
outcome of their efforts and express
ed the wish that every town and city
i in Mississippi had within its 'tonfines
a band of equally enthusiastic work
ers. The local "Flying Squadron," con
sisting of Messrs. Warren M. Cox,
P. W. Maer, " Jesse P. Woodward,
George Y. Banks and S. B. Street,
Jr., got out Thursday and raised
$3000 for the Y. M. C. A. fund.
Lowndes county's allotment is $5,000
and while this is independent of the
money raised by the students of the
Industrial Institute and College, it is
thought that the goal will be easily at
tained. In additions to the general com
mitte known as the "Flying Squad
ron," eight sub-committees have been
at work during the past week and
have met with gratifying success.
They have secured subscriptions
amounting to about $1,000, which,
added to the $3,000 obtained Thurs
day", makes a total of something like
$4,000. The various committees met
at a luncheon at the Bell Cafe at
noon Friday, and had the pleasure of
listening to a fine impromptu talk
by Dr. Frederick D. Losey, a gifted
platform entertainer from New York
who on Friday night closed a success
ful engagement at the Industrial In
stitute and College. Dr. Losey, who
is making patriotic speeches through
out the country, is very enthusiastic
regarding the Y. M. C. A. war work,
and his talk Friday, which lasted only
a few minutes, was a Concrete classic,
having impressed his hearers so
forcefully that it was accorded ap
proval and appreciation by enthu
siastic applause.
The committees did not go out
rli?vday. as Saturday is an imop
portune time to solicit subscriptions,
but the work will be resumed at 9
o'clock Monday morning and an ef-'t
fort made to reach the county goal,
which is $5,000, during the course
of the day.

CHARMS HEARERS
Gifted Man Strengthen Th
Favorable Impression Al
ready Created.
Dr. Frederick D. Losey a noted
platform entertainer from New York
who Friday night closed a successful
engagement at the Mississippi In
dustrial Institute and College in this
city, Friday morning delivered to the
students and members of the faculty
of that institution an address which
was an urgent appeal to women for
war work and which stirred to its
inmost depths the patriotism of all
who heard him. Dr. Losey wears a
"tour-minute man" button, which
makes him one of Uncle Sam's ac
credited speakers. He took a con
spicious part in the recent equal suf
frage campaign in New York, and
therefore spoke as one thoroughly
conversant with the situation when .
be told the women of Mississippi that
their Country needed them more
right now than at any previous time
in its history. He said that the prin
cipal factor which makes women
fundamentally opposed to war, their
correct valuation of human life, is
the quality most needed in public
service in the present crisis; that the
'issors of women must cut through
the govermental which ties up the
life-giving supplies of the nation.
Woman, according to Dr. Losey, as
the meld and conserver of life, is
needed by the government at a tima
when life is being poured out
Dr. Losey, in addition to "the ad
dress alluded to above which, was
delivered Friday morning, made four
other appearances at the college. On
Friday afternoon he lectured on "Ju
lius Caesar" and in- the evening fravc
a dramatic recital of the piay. while
on Friday afternoon he talked on
I "War Poetry," and the same even
ing closed his engagement by read
ing Dickens' "Christmas Carol."
Columbians, who have heard Dr.
Losey before and who sincerely
admire him both as an artut and ai a
man, ore indebted to Dr. L. G. Paint
er, head of the English department
at the college, for this delightful
privilege of again hearing him talk.
Dr. Painter, who quickly recognizes
true worth in men as well as in litera
ture, realizes the fact that Dr. Losey
is one of the most forceful characters
op the lyceum platform, and knows
full well that in hearing htm students
of the college and Columbians gen
erally are not only entertained but
edified.
PARENT-TEACHERS' MEET.

gave a talk on Playground Equip
