Officers and men in Médade are greatly interested in the coming of Bishop #rank Du Moulin of Ohio to this camp on the morning of Sunday after next. He will speak at the main “Y” auditorium. Chaplain Scott of the 17th Infantry is in charge of the general arrange ments of the meeting, which is ex pected to tax the capacity of the building, holding 2,500 men. The meeting is being widely ad vertised because of the prominence of the speaker, who has been in many Army and Navy camps. His success has been such as to create a consfant demand for his services. For several years he has been come ing to Baltimore in connection with the noonday services of the Episcopal Church in the downtown section. His voice is big and has that quality of m Miss Louise Williams’ Performance in Amphitheater a Decided Sensation. The visit of Miss Louise Williams of Atlanta to CC block open-air theater last Friday evening will not soon be forgotten by Meade soldiers. Five thousand persons heard her performance, Miss Willlams gave interpretations of southern negro life in the old days ‘“befo’ de war’ in away that has not been seen in this section of the country in a long, long time., “Bis Patsy” will always be a pleas ant memory in the hearts of the soldiers, as will all the songs and recitations which Miss Williams gave. ~ She comes of an old Georgia family -~ and her mother, still living, has told her at first hand of the negro ways before freedom came. So there is no guess work o cheap vaudeville about her in terpretation. Gen. Gaston, the camp commander, was present, as were Mrs. Gaston, Col. snd Mrs. Hatch and Maj and Mrs. ~Galnes. 1 e s et . < o eet Did yot notice Cory with his trick hat? Some Rube, hey? Noticed the TRENCH AND CAMP musi¢ in it which makes it pleasant to the ear. “When he speaks,” said one man, “everybody can .hear and understans him, while what he says is alway the meat of the cocoanut.” It so happens that Blnhop Du Mou lin is an intimate friend of Religious Secretary P. 8. McWilllams of the “Y,” who has just arrived from Cleve- Mand. They helped to organize the Federation of Churches in Cleveland, which has had such a beneficial effect. Bishop Du Moulin is a son of a bishop who had charge of the diocese of Niagara, in Canada. He came to this country in early life and has been heard in many of the most im portant gatherings of his church with much attention. He had an impor tant parish in Chicago before belns chosen coadjutor to Bishop Leonar of the diocese of Ohio. The Cleve land Cathedral, where he preaches, is always a popular place to go in that city. R e SI,OOO FOR PARTY. Ambulance Boys Set the Pace for Entertaining, For those who believe that the Medicos are a non-combatant force we’ write this article to set them right: At thé barracks of the 385th Am bulance Train last Saturday evening a determined host of mirthmakers fired on ‘a tretqendous front of big eats, and General Hilarity emerged victorious.

GAS OFFICERS CLEVER. Attract Men From Other Camps to Course Here. Now that the gas school is in aez sion there are some terrific tales to relate, but they are better left un said. Suffice to say that the officers, Capt. Melendy, Lieut. Dunn and Lieut. Cleary of the Canadian. army, are such efficient instructors that the course is really interesting and at times fascinating. Artillerymen from Forts Hamilton, Washington and Howard attended the last course, in conjunction with seventy-five officers and non-coms from this camp. The tests i the %as chambers will be given tomrrow. Nine of the 211th F. 8. B. non-coms took the examination for entrance to the new BSignal Officers’ Training Bchool at Kelly’s Crossing. The suc cessful candidates for the honor are: Acting M. 8, E. Smith, Company B; Sergt. Hoffman, Company C; First Sergt. V. Goudreau and Corps. Brosse and Lincoln of Company A. Sergt. Richards of the French army, a priest, who enlisted with forty others of the clergy, is stationed at the Headquarters Company of the 211th F. S. B, where he is regarded as a radio authortty. He is conduct ing a class for non-coms three nights a week, teaching Signal Corps duties at the front. The lectures are both interesting and instructive. Maj. Murray B. Dilley, compnanding the 211th F. 8. 8.,, has left the camp on an extended pass, in order to visit his wife and family at his home in Burlington, Vt. Before his advent here he was captain commanding the 3d Signal Service Company in train ing at the University of Vermont in Burlington. The_major was for four teen years an M. S.
