W ith them have come four French and three British non-coms. Each is a specialist in some one branch of modern battle. Each has seen very active service within the past two months and most of them bear with them wounds that prove that their knowledge of trench fighting was not acquired in training camps and text books. The French officers are Captain Charles Veyssiere, an automatic rifle expert; First Lieutenant P. Forestier, an expert in the use of the hand grenade; First Lieutenant Bordes, artillery, and Second Lieutenant Veyret, an engineer. The British officers are Major J. B. Sharp, of the famous “The Buffs” and an authority on physical training and the use of the bayo net ; Captain A. N. Braitwaith, a trench mortar expert and Captain H. H. Johnson, whose ability at sniping has become a standard of rifle efficiency.

Many do not understand that its object has been to fur nish excellent talent from New York and vicinity at a price ridiculously low. It also furnishes movies of high character during several nights each week. In this great audi torium are held “ sings,” concerts and stunts. In the near future there will be four splendid minstrel shows by the soldiers. Look out for big programs for Thanksgiving and Christ mas weeks. For Christmas, there will be a three-day production entitled “Follies of 27th Division,” given by talent in camp. Manager Wickes desires your suggestion as to entertainment. He also wishes to know the talent in the camp. This playhouse is for you. It is open every night, and interesting all the time. Next week, November 29th-3oth-December 1, Burton Mank’s noted travelogues will be given. The sub j ect will be travelogue sight seeing in New York. ----------- — o— --------- - The Rotary Club of Spartanburg desires to include on its mailing list all Rotarians at Camp Wadsworth.
