sVJ Reports this morning at Camp Hancock
i ,'' It that the First Infantry of I'lilla-
' W''lDhla. which started south nleht before
f? C;J'fcut, Is running seventeen hours behind
6 '.ft'Wiedule time. The regiment, commanded
W iUVy Colonol Millard D. Brown, was expected
Sghere. early this morning. From all Indlca-lfcv-A
tloiui It will not arrive until after midnight.
&CIn view of this the Third lteglment may be
Sithe first of the Philadelphia units to reach
Jtft camp. It Is reported the First Is held up
ijji" jn iorm Carolina.
.; D and G. with the headnuarters and nun-
iP'X ply companies, arrived In camp this morn-
, ins at 12MB o'ciock,
, , The first section of the cavalry troop train
'carrying these units also brought Colonel
, John P. Wood to camp. It was followed by
three sections carrying Squadrons 11, F, H,
I, K, L and M, and a machine-gun company.
' Troop A brought Its quota of horses and
,. private mounts of several oftlcers were
, brought In on the first section.
' The second and third sections were tin
, loaded by 7 o'clock this morning. The
third arrived' at the detraining station at
t:30 o'clock.. The last section was then
reported as Hearing Augusta. Otllcers on
the second and third sections said the trip
from Pennsylvania had been without Inci
dent. Both of these sections carried many
horses. Troops t,. of Bellefonto: K, of
' JLock Haven, and t, of Danville, were In
the second section. .
The same facility which marked the un
loading of artillery and Infantry regiments
characterized the handling of the luggage
$Ei l1"1 equipment of the cavalry units. The
.. ocvuuii, wuiiyuiK me x iiiiiiueiynia
troops, was unloaded In a remarkably short
time after trucks were secured. Tho Phlla
delphla boys then spent the rest of the
tilght under shelter tents and In mess hallo.
They were not uncomfortable, for there
ma a favorable change In the temperature
.About 3 o'clock this morning. When the
aecond and third sections drew In tho morn
ing was chilly, but the cold wind which
wept tho camp last night had abated.
2000 MC.V ADDITIONAL
When the final section of tho cavalry
teaches camp about 2000 additional men
lll have been added to the population of
the tented city.
The cavalry troops arrived many hours
late. The first section was expected about 6
o'clock last night, and Captain George
Thayer, of tho First City Troop, with the
ntlvance detail which prepared tho regi
mental area for the troops was at the de
training station, anxious to be on hand
when Colonel Wood detrained and much
concerned over the delay.
Immediately after the first section drew in
Colonel Wood told correspondents that de
plto the delay the trip South from Penn
sylvania had been comfortable ; In fact, de
lightful. All of the men had sleeping ac
commodations In Pullman cars and tourist
aleepers. The train wag well equipped and
there was plenty of light, food and watet.
The first section left Phl.adelphia, Col
nel Wood said, at 10:40 o'clock Tuesday
morning. The cavalry regiment was tlie
fourth to detrain here within forty-elght
hours; the Fourth, Eighth and Thirteenth
Infantry units having arrived between 3
'clock yesterday morning and noon.
Just before Colonel Wood's first section
drew In a heavy freight train which
brought baggage and equipment of the
Thirteenth Regiment was unloaded. Before
the cavalry could be shunted Into the de
training station It was necessary for de
tails of men to unload the baggage and
horse cars. This delayed unloading of the
cavalry forces for nearly three hours.
While they wero awaiting trucks In which
to pile their equipment the cavalrymen
rested In their berths". When trucks became
available they were forced to detrain In
the chill morning air. Coming from the
north, where the cold winds are not unusual
at this time of year, tho troops were as-
tonlshed at the chill breezes which swept
across the camp grounds.
Men of tho various troops said the trip
town was without Incident or excitement.
' No one was HI when the first section
pulled In, nor had any accidents been re
ported from the sections following.
THAYEK GREETS WOOD
Despite the cold and the lato hour. Cap.
tain Thayer was on hand to greet Colonel
Wood when ho descended from the train
The meeting was cordial and the Colonel
was assured that his quarters here would
undoubtedly please him. A detail of men
from the First City Troop were on hand
With trucks to aid in unloading 'the regi
ment's equipment. Troop A'h horses were
removed from the cars first and then, with
the aid of tho motor supply train and
truck company No. '.'1, the Philadelphia
boys went after the business of getting
equipment and supplies out of the cars
with eagerness and dispatch.
With Immediate prospects of complete
L mobilization of the division, it was learned
this morning that the new schedule of
training will become rneral throughout
it'1 , camp In the near future. Brigadier Gen-
S. era! Logan's command will tart work
S .tinder the new schedule Monday morning.

Camp DIx Is pro Ing to be u very healthy
place for there arc only nbout a score of
men of the first quota of over 2000 men
on sick list. Of these there nre no serious
Illnesses, all of the cases being minor ail
ments dun to tho change In food ' ami
drinking water.
The division surgeon's otflce now Is work
ing on the eases of a number of men who
have been recommended for rejection for
physical disabilities,
Theie have teen tm i ejections as ct,
but a number have been recommended for
l ejection by the examining physicians. The
system in to examine tho men na soon us
they enter camp. Those who do not get
by this test conic before u board of spe
cialists and are passed upon by that board.
Those recommended for rejection nie finally
passed on by the division HUrgeon.
It Is doubtful If the number of rejected
men will exceed t per cent. While there
have been a few canes In which the men
were anxious to be rejected, the gieut ma
jority of the men who came up liifure the
consulting boatd tried In every ay to
get b:.
It was announced that the men will all
be put through psychological tests next
month to determine whether they have the
mental and nervous organism that would tit
them to be poldlcrs. in this way any "nar
rows" who have gotten by will bo dlscox
cred and weeded out. For this purpose u
board of nerve specialists will com t
Camp DIx next month.
More than a hundred laboreis were put to
work today on the Job of clearing away
the timber on the tract which Is to be used
us a target lange. This range will be more
than six miles long and cover moro than
4000 acres. It will be used us range for
both rifle and artillery fire. It will be large
enough to allow tho field artillery to use
their guns with service ammunition.
The rookies of Camp llx were treated to
their first Wednesday afternoon holiday yes
terday. They all felt that the holiday was
well earned and unbluchlngly reveled In the
opportunity of loafing, of having nothing to
do and all afternoon to do It In. for the
men have been drilled hard and long this
week. Typical of the lookle, they "hit out"
for tho many "pop" stands which hae
sprung up In the little village of Wrights
town ad squandered their money In an orgy
of soft drinks, candy and sandwiches, and,
of course, smokes.
It Is the oft hours "that afford the best
opportunity to really study the men and get
a correct view of their attitude toward
their new life. If there Is one prime char
acteristic of these men It Is their cheerful
ness. One captain said, "They sure nro a
cheerful lot" and that about summarizes
the attitude of nil the men.
It did not take the baseball fans long to
find baseball outfits from the Y. M. C. A.,
and almost every company had a game
going on Us section of the parade ground.
Instead of the familiar command of the
drlllmaster, the parade ground resounded
with the familiar cries of the bleachers.
The athletics of the camp are not organized
yet, but within a month It Is expected that
there will be as diversified forms of organ
ized sports as there is In the college world.
Among the officers there are many stars
who glittered on the gridiron and diamond.
Thero are "Ham" Fish, known wherever
Harvard football teams are known ; Ellery
Huntington. "Dave" West, "BUI" Xlelson,
who won all-American fame as parts of
Colgate's football machine, and Arthur
Warren, an old Ell man.
In the evenings the men find a high-class
entertainment ready for them at the Y. M.
C. A. In tho dormitories they play cards
over Impiovlsed tables, write letters or
read, although the reading matter In camp
Is rather scarce. The officers are observant
of their men and are careful to see that
the men have ample opportunity to enjoy
themselves with wholesome games and
amusement. Gambling Is absolutely bar
red. The lads who like to sing have lots
of opportunity of "agonizing." Ofllccrs al
ways look for that most hopeful sign of
good spirit singing and there li lots of It
in the barracks already.

CRACK HOSPITAL UNIT
GIVES CAMP A THRILL
Youngstown Contingent at
Allentown Good as Best
Anywhere
ALLUNTOWN', l'a., Sept. 13. -The work
of uniforming Youngstown base hospital
unit No. 31, American lied Cross, has been
completed at the United States ambulance
camp on the fair grounds. As the men
lined up for Inspection the verdict of the
ambulance corps officers was that there
Isn't a finer body of volunteers on either
side of the ocean. Colonel Elbert E. Per
sons, .the commander of the camp, said:
It makes one thrill with pride to see
Buch an organization as the Youngs
town base hospital unit, which typifies
all .the energy and purpose of the United
States In this conflict and embodies all the
punch which guarantees America a victor
In this war.
Arriving Sunday as recruits, the men got
a kindly and cordial reception and now that
they are garbed as soldiers In the business
like khaki of the United States army they
have won the admiration of the camp.
Youngstown not only furnished the men,
but of the $60,000 needed as a starter
raised J5B.000 In one hour.
The formation of the unit, which consists
of twenty-seven officers, 151 enlisted men,
sixty-flve nurses and three civilian employes,
circled uround the Youngstown hospital,
with which virtually all the oftlcers and
nurses are affiliated. The enlisted men are
from Ohio, with a sprlnkllnr from western
Pennsylvania.

CAM!' HOOK, Sea Girt, N. .1., Sept. 13.
The question was raised before Ceneral
Bird W, Spencer, Inspector of rifle practice,
today whether members of tho new State
militia might not come to Camp Edge after
the close of the present week and engage
In target practice at their own expense.
The General said this matter would bo con
sidered and passed upon us soon as pos
sible, and seemed pleased with Hie sug
gestion. It showed that tho men nre taking
the work seriously, he said. Somo of them
brought out that In their quarters at home
tho rifle ranges are small, so that few can
be accommodated, and that Indoor ranges
In particular can never hope to furnish the
opportunity for Improvement which the well
nigh perfect ranges hern offer. Should the
proposal be decided favorably to thesn
newly enlisted guards thero ar 3000 men
throughout the State who would bo ellgiblf.
The southern portion of the State will get
Its Innings on Saturday. Trenton will send
a company that day under Klibt Lieutenant
Ezra T. Beers, and Atlantic lUty will have
four companies here, captained by John W.
Dowilng, William C Henry. Krank M. ( un
nlngham and Samuel M. Cob. The heavy
enlistment Atlantic City gave the new guard
Is very much appreciated by Governor Wal
ter 12. Edge, as tho raising of this organlza
tlon to take the place of the old national
guardsmen, now federalized, was n pet
scheme of his, and the town which gave the
State Its present Governor has furnished
mere companies than any other In New Jer-se-
and as many enlisted men as Newark,
wlille It has far outdistanced all other Jer
sey cities.
The companies practicing today came
from Elizabeth, Passaic, Pateison, ftuther
ftrd and Ilackensack, and tomorrow will
be given over to Newark. Bloomfleld and
Orange.
Private George L. Ballentlne, of Somer
vllle. It developed when there was another
posting of scores today, got within two
points of perfect In his fourth round, which
Is the best score of any single round yet
posted. Ballentlne shot eight bullseyei.
straight, and then put the other two of his
ten shots Inside the first circle. He had to
leave for his train before shooting the final
round, forty polntB In which would have
rated him an expert rifleman. As It was, he
got the rating of sharpshooter.
Soldiers of the Federal encampment, the
First New Jersey Infantry and First Ar
tillery, have turned with common accord
to football as a pastime ever since the
crisp fall days began a week ago, at which
time Chaplain Smith stimulated the move,
ment by offering a cup. Today Major Ed
ward James also put up a cup. The vartou
batteries are now picking out the best ma
terial available for coaches. Lieutenant
Kenneth Baldwin, a former Princeton foot
ball player, began yesterday coaching Bat
tery C. Captaincy of this team has gone
to Ilaymond Terhune, champion runner of;
the Barrenger High School, of Newark.
Corporal Young Is captain of the Battery A
team. Lleutenart Dtckerson Is captain of
Battery B team, and Sergeant Battln Is
captain of the Battery D eleven.
The military police had occasion today
and yesterday to run off a half dozen pro
fessional gamblers, loaded dice men and
card sharks, who made their appearance
upon publication of the fact that 3100,000
had been paid out here In cash, No ar
rests were made, but the undeslred visitors
were put on the trains bound for New
York with Injunctions not to show them
selves at the camp again.

Wllltctf Of MN I'JOK bliOWVd lOllllll mid
prayerful In tin- blackness nuclei1 a ware
house at I'amii Meade today six thri-o
iifgro workmen watched every motion of
the long arm and hand of u fouith.
They were n-shooting craps. The niastei
roller clucked tho boiics In tho hollow of lil
fist under his car. rolled hlH eyes upward
In Kll'-nt supplication, pulled up his slt-cvc
In a long motion of his arm and thru softly
flicked the bones on tho ground Willi un

a loud snap of his linger.". '
"Hunk"' he gruntod to complete the
magic, and four kinky head bent clo.-e oei
tho turned-up bones.
"Tray, deure, an' come again:'' monotoned
the roller and swept them up to fling again.
"A half ho do!"
"A half he don't:" ami a dollar was ndded
to the nlnety-tlvc cents already at stal.i
"J'lay ine deni golden chimes!" chortlr-d
the Ethiopian hhooter, as he breathed on lh
bones and eyed tho Increasing pot with
greedy eyes. Thivo times ho passed the
dice In a circle over tho ground and then
huddenly they dropped from his fingers, mis
ponded limply in tho air.
For at this Interesting stage of the game
a soldier sentinel crawled In on the under
ground parly, covered the pot and bone"
with one hand and directed a general exit
with tho other.
Tho "culluhd gemmen" shooters were
marched to the constructing quartermaster's

L'ncle Sam Is opposed to hhoothig craps.
Craps, on the other hand. Is tho leadlng
gamu in Dixie. Hence the confusion
The big squelching of the white-bone
frollo among the thousands of workmen
quartered at camp here came one night this
week when twoscore bone-shooters were
cleaned up In a grand raid on a budding
young Moflte Carlo In tho heart of the
camp, Just opposite where the nightly gospel
meetings were being held.
Professional bone-shootors wcro shower
ing tho cubes with practiced flip on the
crudoly constructed tables set up on tho
sand. Flickering lanterns lit up the dusky
faces of the gathering crowded around the
boards.
Things were booming for tho owners.
"Comb ovan heali he shot a five ten
he rolled," sounded on all tides, invitations
to the play.
"Como over here," lustily entreated
"Cliff" Crawford, the carpenter evangelist,
clad In white Jumpers and blue shirt, as
he shouted and banged on his home-made
pulpit to draw tho gamblers from tho bon
to church on the other corner. Tho preach
er's shouts fell on deaf ears and his cornct
Ist struck up "Brighten the Corner" to
drown the evil whoops from tho bone-roll-lng
space so close.
From the outskirts of his congregation
a platoon of soldiers, gleaming bayonet-,
fixed, stole silently up on tho wooers of
the tumbling bones.
"Hands up, everybody!" was tho sudden
stern command and everything, church,
bones, crowd was stopped as If suddenly
frozen by the hand of death Itself,
The bayonets looked wicked, particularly
when pawing around at their own abdo
mens. The dice and pots were swept up, tables
overturned and gamblers backed against
tho wall as the soldiers closed In on thc-lr
quarry,
"Lawdy, Lawdy, sabe dls chile!" hol
lowly muttered one black and shambly
gambler.
"Keep those hands up," threatened a
soldier, prodding with his gun.
"Dem hands ain't mlndln' me a-tall,"
stuttered the captive.
"Don't you try to run or I'll stick you
with this pin."
"Boss, ah tells yo' dey ain't no mo' run
In me." .
One Italian fainted and a youth was
slightly cut before the whole crew was
finally inarched oft and bottled up. Since
this wholesalo raid tho ancient game has
only cropped out In spots. Ono look at
tho.'c bayonets was enough.
V past master at rolling the bones shh
eied as ho saw an unsheated bayonet pin
today,
"Ah loes inali bones, hut. man, ah loves

THREE HUGE WAR AUTO
FACTORIES UNDER WAY
Designed to Keep Transportation
Facilities of American Army
in Condition
I'mle Sam is organizing three huue port
able automohllo factories and accessory
stores to bo sent to France to keep the
field transportation facilities of tho Ameri
can army In llrst-class condition.
These brand-nuw additions to the I'nlted
States nrmy are known as mechanical trans
port repair shop units Nos. 1, a and 2.
I'nlt No. 1, being assembled near Washing
ton under the command of Major Champ
lln, has In Its ofllcer personnel Lieutenant
William J. MclSvoy, of this city, and It is
probable that other Philadelphia automobile
men will bo enrolled In t,he now service.
Kach of the units will be an Independent
foice of engineers and technical men sta
tioned behind tho battle lines. Here, In a.
corrugated iron and canvas camp covering
a city block, tho various types of army
trucks will be repaired and new parts con
structed, even to the making of tires. Kach
unit will consist of i'on officers and 1200
men, taken as far as possible from the auto
mobile trade. The, enlisted men probably
will b furnished from the draft army.
Three hundred truck! will carry the equip
ment and supplies,
I'nlt No. 1, destined to be the first to go,
will take from the shoulders of the French
and British quartermaster departments tho
task of repairing General Pershing's army
transports. As more Increments of troops
are sent across the other units will ba
shipped overseas.
Lieutenant Mcllvoy, who Is a member of
the Inspection department of Unit No. ,
formerly was an engineer for tho Locomo
bile Company of America at Twenty-third
arrd Market streets. He was commissioned
in the officers' training camp at Leon
Springs, Tex.
There wero no cheer., no last-minute
handshakes or embraces to speed tho boys
of tho Third Pennsylvania Infantry on their
way to tho training quarters at Camp Han
cock, Augusta, (la., as they entrained at
Lansdowne today. Their departure took
place In the early hours of tho morning It
was shortly after .1 o'clock and admiring
friends and sorrowing relatives who had
walled pevcral hours to seo them off had
departed for their homes several hours
before.
Tho regiment was delayed more than
seven hours, during which time tho troopers,
cold, tired and hungry, were fed by neigh
bors and the Lansdowne branch of the
American lied Crosr
It was expected that the regiment would
leave at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
bo fed en route. Hut as railroad diffi
culties piled up, and u sullkient number of
cars wero not nvallable, the men were
forced to wait about the station.
Tho air was chilly, and soon llicy hud
dled in llttln groups about bonflies that
they were forced to build in the streets of
Lansdowne to keep warm,
llOtmilT ALL FOODS l.V SHOP
Mr. and Mr3. C. ('. Dtew, of 10.1 MuICln
te avenue, and IMward Forren, of Wash
ington, visiting Thomas Farrcn, at 98 Mc
Klnley avenue, were the first to go to the
nld of the hungry soldiers. In Mr. Drew's
automobile they went to ICast Lansdowne.
to the only shop open at that lato hour, and
bought up all of tho foodstuffs there, in
liudlng nbout forty loaves of bread, boxes
ol soda crackers, crackers In packages and
cans, Jolly and butter.
Sandwiches weio made up at Mr. Drew's
house, being sliced lengthwise of the loaf
and spread with a quarter uound of butter
or Jelly. No sandwich meat was procur
able. Ten basketfuls were taken to tho
soldiers.
Another trip to L'ast Lansdowne was
made and cans of coffee held by persons
clinging to the running board of Mr. Drew'
tar were brought back and, added fo a
large kettle of coffee already prepared at
the Drew house, were distributed to the
soldlerv.
Inning tho sandwich making L'dwurd
Farrcn remarked that when he was a small
boy ho had done the same thing for sol
diers going to tho Civil War battlefields.
Two Lansdowno members of the regi
ment, (-'allien Ityan, son of 12dward Itynn, of
Lacrosse avenue, and a member of State
Senator Mc.'lchol'3 construction company,
md Leslie Taylor started off on their own
plan, Kach subscribed ; and thou -..nt
1 about the neighborhood uiV.t they secured
a torar or sis, wont to a gn.vsry store and
bought ten dozen eggs, broa.i and other
necessities.
These soldiers then got about thirty of
their brother- soldiers and took them to tho
1'y.tn home. Sablen's sister Cecil scrambled
lh. .s-gs, others helped on tho sandwiches
nnd coffee and then they nil had a "real
party." The soldiers sat down to the long
table In relays of ten. and when thev left
the ltyan larder was depleted.
When 11 became known, that the men
had had nothing to cat since early In the
morning, the members of the ltcd Cross
hurriedly cooked more than 5U0 pofs of
coffee and made hatches of sandwiches,
prepared canned goods and other eatables.
Theso were distributed to tho men under
the leadership of Mrs. M. L. Phillips and
Mrs. Alice Wager Smith.

head of tho line passed the flr station bells
rang and loud applause greeted the soldiers
on every hand. The town, to n man, turned
out to pay tribute to tho soldiers.
Not until they reached the station at 8
o'clock was It discovered for tho first time
that a congestion of troop trains In the
vicinity of Washington had Indefinitely de
layed the arrival of their accommodations.
Mrs. Alice Wager Smith at onco tele
phoned to twenty-five members of 'the Lans
downe Branch of the lied Cross nnd by
10 o'clock a steady stream of eatables was
converging on the dopot. Not u man In
the regiment failed to receive a square
meal. Tho young women of the town acted
as waitresses.
Tho trains were expected to arrivo at
the station at 7 p. rn but did not arrive
until long past midnight.
The men gathered around the bonfires,
laughing and singing, though many, wearied
with the labor of breaking camp, fell
asleep in the streets
An trio troops had not entrained
daybreak.
