Huts Declared Greatest Boon to Men and Religions In fluence . Regarded as Just Enough to Be of Benefit. t BY WILL, G. MacRAE. Staff Correspondent. WITH THE ONE HUNDRED A??D SIXTY-SECOND REGIMENT, Camp Greene, Charlotte, Oct. 10. There is one thin? you'll have to do hand It to these North Carolina rains. Another thing, the handy umbrella is as com mon to the natives of Charlotte as ltis to the native of Astoria or Seattle. However, there is one thing- in which they have the Pacific Northwest beaten a. mile, and that is their red, slippery, climy mud. It even has the Calexico mud beaten as to slipperiness. Anyway, It succeeded in stopping all soldier training and wheel traffic in the coun try districts. It is the kind that makes soldiering in the Army like Sunday on the farm too muddy to work in the field, but all right to work in the gar den. Then, too, it is the best little checker of this . intensive training that North Carolina can produce. With the rain of yesterday was a cold wind, which drove all soldiers except those on sen try duty to doing bunk fatigue a thing a soldier always hates to do. Camp Greene was certainly an uncom fortable place. Only the wise took time by the proverbial forelock and had the squad tents fixed with Sibley stoves The officers were a bit wiser than the men; they had oil stoves. However, they didn't have the fore sight to put in any coal oil. They had the moves, but no heat. As it was, there was a mighty Uncomfortable lot of Oregonians in camp. Yet, in spite of this discomfort, the men of the new One Hundred and Sixty-second faw humor in the situation, even though they did spring their jokes and verbal shrapnel lying in their cots. Transfers Are Frequent. Transfers within the regiment have been frequent since the Third Oregon was christened the 162d Regiment. Those affected are Xr;il Malarkey to Company H from Company C, and de tailed to regimental headquarters, and With him Will go Privates George Nel 6on, Company 13, and First-class Pri vate Dan J Malarkey, Jr., Company C. Those transferred from Company L to Company Q are Private Harry Miller, to the regimental barber shop; Richard Van Loan, to .the regimental exchange; Harry Saddler, provost; Ira Williams, H. Williams and Archie Laoey, to the Supply Company. Private Vern Fudge from Company B to the Supply Com pany and Norrls M. Cox, Company A, to the regimental headquarters.

It all adds to the vast amount of work that is being done at this camp. This includes all of the officers from Colonel May down. V. HI. C. A. In Favor. The natural question the home folks will be asking is what provision 1 made for the entertainment of the sol dier. True, there are but few channels open as a diversion. They can go to, Charlotte one night a week, provided you have o0 cents to pay jitney fare. 3t costs that to make the round trip. Chief among the camp activities is the Y. M. C. A. There is alpo a Knights of Columbus tent, but It Is the Y". M. C. A. huts that get the play. The work of this organization at the various camps Js simply wonderful and of great help. Scat tered over the camp and touching every branch of the military service are converted mess halls, the servin counter and kitchens utilized as offices and the mess tables into writing stands. Stationery is turnished free. limited. of course, but with a sufficiently large number of sheets to write of the truth ful happenings of caiiip. Each hut is in charge of a competent secretary- every one Of them clean-cut, frank, straight forward fellows, who have realized that the majority of the men brought to gether here can't be reached through religious talks alone. And right here, I believe, is the secret of the success of the Y. M. C. A. camp work. It is diplo matic to the nth degree, the manner in Which these secretaries bring in a bit of religious thought now and then. There is just enough of it to make those who live in such an environment not forget what they have learned. Most of the Oregon soldiers, when they are not drilling or on some other detail, have a new pastime. It is pick in sr hickory nuts'. Nearly every squad PIONEER PORIXATTO MAX I Called by death..

BALDWIN BOOM STARTED Appointment ITrgcd Ifi Case of Mr. Olcolfs Resignation. Circulars urging: the appointment of Edward t. Baldwin, private secretary to Congressman Sinnott and for sev eral year secretary of the Republican state central committee, as Secretary of Stata are being distributed through out the state. The candidacy of Mr. Baldwin for this office through appointment by the Clovernor is contingent on the possi bility that Secretary of State Olcott himself may become a candidate for Clovernor in next year's election and resigns from his present omce upon entering the Gubernatorial race. Should Mr. Olcott resign in advance of the primary nominating election, it would devolve upon Governor Wlthycombe to name someone to complete his term as Secretary of State.
