STRANGE CONNECTION
BETWEEN CAMP PAPER
AND OFFICERS’ SCHOOL
CAMP KEARNY, San Diego. Oct. 30
Is there some strange connection
between service on tin* “Trench and
Camp." a soldier's newspaper here
and being ordered to officers’ train
ing school? That is a question men
working on that paper are trying tc
answer.
Within the past few months Robert
Halliday, 158th (Arizona) infantry;
Herbert Messer. 115th ammunition
train; Corporal F. R. Harrow. 143rd
(California) field artillery; E. C. Card
nor, lf.7th (Colorado) Infantry; G. E.
Woodbury, 145th (Utah) field artil
lery; and Sergeant I). It. Owens. 115th j
field signal battalion, all have been j
I called from posts on the paper's stall |
to undergo training looking to their
appointment as officers.
Still more recently, Telford Work.

We arc* prone to think we live in a
wonderful age We are proud of our
marvelous achievements, both in sci
ence and invention. We have con
quered the very air, through the risk
ful ventures of our daring aviators,
hong ago we harnessed the lightning
and turned it to our own uses and
needs and out of its captivity came
the elimination of time and space
through the* medium of the telephone.
Speed is at the* beck and call of every
one. It is ours through the posses
sion of a powerful motor car. or we
may command it when traveling on
one* of our transcontinental trains.

Our greatest surgeons have shown
us how almost any part e)f th human

literally been repaired and made to

are wonders of the* age. Vet in the
face of a catastrophe so appalling as
the? sinking of the Princess Sophia,
with almost four hundred souls on
hoard, how absolutely futile, how
pitifully mean, poor and utterly worth
le ss seems all our boasted know I
edge!
No single* person in the* whole world
r *uId have prevented the awful fate*
which sought out and fell upon these*
helpless victims. The greatest Intel
lect alive today could possess no un
d(*rstunding which might • ruble it
to save even one soul called t that
moment! Mow absurdly inadequate*
are the* powers wo possess!

With all the knowledge gleaned
from hooks, and all the benefits ot
the manifold experiences recorded
throughout the history of the ages for
his own. man has withal no faintest

No doubt In this little (anti perhaps

merely know that "the moving finger
writes and having writ moves on, nor
all ‘our’ piety or wit can lure it back
to cancel half a line, nor all 'our' tears
wash out one word of it."

Your attention is called to the matter of your water supply
for this winter. Last winter we were short of water, caused
vi X; i
in large part by wastage, due to allowing the water to run
continually, to prevent the pipes from freezing.
We have done everything in our power to insure a sufficient sup
gj ply for this winter, and we must stop the wastage! There
j| fore we are hereby giving notice that wherever we find the ;g
|i water allowed to run continually, day or night, we shall im- gj
^ mediately discontinue that particular service until spring.
All accounts are due and payable before the 1 Oth of each month. |j
When we are obliged to discontinue service because of non- j§
payment, a charge will be made for the re-connecting of |
water, light, or telephone.
