P , Bf the privates, after attending

Lackawanna and Northampton counties.
The Northampton boys were disappointed
f when they learned that R. A. Williams, the
Tmm cowouncher and deputy sheriff, who
has been the training sergeant, was not
lolnr South. Williams Is a giant and
, nta a disposition that corresponds with his
physical proportions. He was loved by
( all the men and. next to General Kuhn, was
!? considered the best soldier in camp by the
fy ujstaters.
i The cosmbpolltan make-up of the Seven-tjr-nlnth
Division was emphasized today
'' when the 311th entrained at Disney. The
'. frst men to board the train were John
( Mlskalls, a Lithuanian, of Luzerr. and
k Gregory Papatolo, an Italian, of Wllkes
P'Barre. They led the cheering when the
band played "Let's All Be Americans Now."
U One member of the regiment was taxen
III on the train and was removed to tne
regimental hospital.
jimremiriKK'a nAn nt!KS?S
! Zlmmermann, one of the fifty-seven va
' rletles of "ons" whom former Ambassador
, Gerard has described In his book on Ger
i many, stated that In tho avent of war
i against the fatherland 500,000 uermans in
tnls country would sprlng to arms and
, make Uncle Sam look like a sieve.
f- Just to prove that be was two plus In his
, reckoning, let's take the cases of Herb Wert-
ja helm's father nnd the mala parent of Henry
Jf, Zlegler. Both of these chaps are members
of E Company, 304th ammunition train.
The fathers of these two Americans are
Prussians. First, we'll consider Werthelm,
jiMnlor. He, was born In Berlin, while the
?tother of the Werthelms is a native of
r'Baden. Up to the present time they have
i tatted 1000 In the Patriots' League, for they
k have offered the following to the service of
? the country:
Walter, twelfth ammunition train. Camp
Hancock, Ga.
Hilton, sergeant. Troop A, Sixth United
! ptales Cavalry, who may be now "some-,-'
frhere In France."
Herbert, private 30Uh ammunition train,
Beventy-ninth division. National Army.
"That takes away all the boys," said
Herblt Werthelm, proudly, "but father said
he ought to do something for a country
-that had been as good to him as this. Mil
ton got Into the cavalry many years ago.
and he has always told us that there was
fco place like the army,"
And now to the Zelglers.
They live in Tioga, and both came to
this country forty years ago, direct from
Berlin.
"Did vour father nblect to your rolng
j to fight agatnst the Kaiser?" young Henry
"Did her' flung back the surprised
fronngster, "He told me that if I didn't
St down here and start In to give the
ilser a ticking, tho old man would trim
tat himself. Mister, my father could be
Jnot at sunrise In Germany for the things
thinks about the Kaiser every minute.
Be hates him, and so do all the old Germans
ttat are any good."

MEADE MEN DENY COLD
RECEPTION AT HANCOCK
Refute Rumor by Expressions of
Pleasure Over Greeting
and Surroundings
CAMP HANCOCK. Augusta, Oct 10
Rumors around Augusta and Camp Han
cock that the 1000 selectlvo service men
who arrled from Camp Meado Tuesday
were not favorably received by the Penn
sjlvanlans was branded as false yester
day by the men themsehes. The report
that the men had been hissed by the guards
men had gained currency during the last
few days, while it Is also current gossip
that the officer In charge of the troop move
ment was Inclined to make an adverse re
port to the War Department upon the re
ception of the men, claiming that no officer
of the regiments to which they were con
signed 'was present, and that Insufficient
preparations had been made for their
arrival.
All of the reports have been carefully
Investigated and found by the camp au
thorities In every case to be absolutely
without foundation. Press representatives
have also joined In the ln estimations, and
yesterday Interviewed several of the Meade
men Every man approached spoke In
the highest terms of his reception and ex
pressed his delight In having been sent
here. One man said, "It's so great down
here that I've wired my friends up there
to come on down."
Everywhere the men expressed them
selves as pleased with the transfer, and
that the fellows with whom they had been
hnnked were a swell bunchTof mixers,
The only complaint lodged by the men
In connection with Camp Hancock Is the
lack of hot water and the outdoors camp
ing At Meade they slept In wooden
barracks and enjoyed the luxuries of hot
water In their baths Here things are dif
ferent; they are in a camp Instead of a
cantonment and are subjected to real field
conditions. With the good and plentiful
food, the companions with whom they hae
w.. ntanUaA ih rllmAtA nnri enpml At
mosphere of the camp the men are pleased,
and pay tnat small mailers oi nisiuo logg
ing and hot water are to be forgotten In
view of the added advantages of Camp
Hancock
The military parade through the streets
of Augusta this afternoon was the great
est, in point of men participating. In the
history of the city Eight thousand two
hundred and ten officers and men constitute
the personnel of the Fifty-sixth Brigade of
the Twenty-eighth Division, which took
part in the march. Brigadier General Al
bert J. Logan's command Is the only war
rtrength Infantry brigade In the United
States at the present moment, outside of
the Rainbow Division.

CHARGES OF VICE -DENIED
AT DIX
Officers and Officials Resent
Accusations Reflecting
on Camp Morals
TEMPTATIONS LIMITED
Ru a Btaff Corrtspondtnt
CAMP DIX, Wrlghtstown, Oct 10.
The statement made at the Presbyterian
synod nt Atlantto City that the "forces of
vice are already congregating around Camp
DIx" has brought forth Indignant denials
by officers and officials connected with the
camp Officers were unanimous In saying
that the conditions around Camp DIx were
tho cleanest and healthiest, both physically
and morally, that they had ever known, and
that there was no vice problem to deal with
here as yet. As one officer pointed out,
the location of the camp and all other fac
tors considered make preventive measures
rather easy and very effective. Ho said:
"It Is very evident that when the Gov
ernment chose to build the cantonment In
this rural community It was a wise move,
for it left little opportunity for vicious char
acters to congregpts around here The
small towns arcund here are populated by
people who have lived here for generations,
and except where the Government has
bought their property they are continuing to
11 e on here, and they seem to resist the
tendency to expand The only additions to
the populations of these towns Is where
officers have brought In their families
and where some of the contractor officials
have taken up their residence. It Is Impos
sible for tho men to get liquor within five
miles. All the saloons within the five-mile
radius are closed, and In the districts out
side most of the dealers have voluntarily
discontinued their bottle business.
"The only real liberty the men get Is on
Saturdays and Sundays and then most of
them make a beellne for home, for oer
half the men In camp live within eighty
miles of the camp. They can't get out of
tho camp at night for there Is no place
to go to and get back by 'taps.' If there
i. fta n It. -a (men nn tliA nlltdlflrffl nf tllA
camp T don't think the men would frequent
It much for by night time they are tired
and only too glad to hit the straw. Then
too the Y M. C A. here Is doing wonders
In providing wholesome recreation ana
sports for the men I have seen many army
posts and camps, but tho clean moral con
ditions around Camp DIx are a revelation
to me."
J. H. Kelsey, prosecuting nttorney of
Burlington County, also denied the ex
istence of any organlaed vice around the
cantonment Mr. Kelsey is working with
a committee of prominent citizens of Bur
lington County who are pledged to report
any violations of the law In Burlington
County There have been several cases of
Inclpent Immorality in Mount Holly which
have been nipped In the bud through the ef
forts of this committee of home guards
followed by Immediate banishment One
example of this was the sale of bottled
liquor a couple of weeks ago which develop,
ed Into a menace. The saloon keepers
were promptly called together by Judge
William Llpplncott and an agreement was
reached that the sale of bottled goods was
to be discontinued. Mr. Kelsey also hns
every member of fhe Grand Jury of the
county working with him and each juryman
Is assigned to a definite part of the county
and Is bound to report all violations or
abuses that develop in that territory. Spe
cial officers are also maintained by the
county. Tho borough of Pemberton with
a population of 800 people has a fund of
$2600 for the maintenance of special of
ficers. Another vital factor In vice prevention
here Is the attitude of the people of the
community. Not only the people of the lm
mediate vicinity, but the people from all
over New Jersey seem to plan nil the time
for welfare of their sons In the camp hero
and this co-operation and personal Interest
In the camp In Itself works ps an antidote
to the development of vice.

complete checking up on all such equip

to ascertaining exactly what Is needed for

It is also considered possible that new
