CAMP PIKE NOTES.
If you have had an idea that Camp
Pike is only a temporary sort of army
cantonment you should see the three j
great warehouses going up on the j
north side of the track. They are j
each 500 feet long and 60 feet wide j
i with an. 8% foot platform running!
ft the full length, a floor space of over j
100,000 square eet. They have ce- j
IjprHIWfr''foundation pillars and heavy |
firewalls. They are only a part of
the building that is going on all the
time at the camp, and it is expected
that a similar row of warehouses will
soon be lining the south side of the
track.
Some at least of our boys will be
surprised when they reach the French
l!'; areas and find the native soldiers
splaying croquet with a great deal of
▼im and enthusiasm. Another Amer
ican game that is making a hit with
as——————————————
the French { pitching horseshoes.
One great reason for the popularity
of these games is that they require a
little space and equipment and do not
attract the attention of the enemy
gunners as do games that require
many men or attract a large number
of bystanders.
Life at Camp Pike is beginning to
take on a rosier hue for the new men
who are just now emerging from
their two weeks quarantine. They
have had their smallpox and typhoid
fever “shots” and are ready for real
work. They rfre finding it prefrty
hot drilling out in th sun and dust
and are of course complaining just as
the fellows did who were working
here in the winter in the mud and
snow. One of the greatest boons of
being out of quarantine is the privil
ege of visiting the “Y” buildings. We
have a mighty clean bunch of boys
here in the ten thousand new arrivals,
irnd they are going to give the “M.
P’s” much less trouble than did a
lot of men from the great northern
cities.
It isn’t new of course for it has
been told many times and yet it con
tinues to happen every time a batch
of new men go through the hands of
the examiners. Asked as to his near
est living relative the man answered,
“My Aunt.” A little later he said his
parents were living. “But you said
your aunt was your nearest relative”
remonstrated the officer. “She is. My
parents live in Ohio, and my aunt
lives over in Tennessee.”
An order for one million summer
drinks has just been given by the Y.
M. C. A. in France. That won’t last
long, although it may sound pretty
big. If there is one thing on earth
that the American soldier seems to
consider a real necessity, it is a bot
tle of something cold. It don’t make
much difference what it is or what
the flavor, but it must be cold. That
is the chief attraction these hot sum
mer nights at Belmont, the little
street fair town just outside the camp
gates, and in the early part of the
ever ing it is almost impossible to
crowd one’s way to the counter there
or at the regimental and post ex
changes in the various parts of the
camp.
A smile from a pretty girl, or even
from one approximately good looking,
helps sales wonderfully at the Bel
mont restaurant and concessions.
