First Regiment is
Soon to Leave
The following from The Greenville
Piedmont will be read with interest
:
The old First South Carolina infantry,
known now as the 118th, at
Camp Sevier, including the Butler
Guards of Greenville, the Pelzer company,
Laurens company, Anderson
companies and other outfits of the upper
section of the state, is making
preparations, with the 117th and
110th infantries, to leave Camp Sevier
in the wake of the 105th engineers,
the first battalion of which was
under orders to he in readiness to
leave today for an unannounced destination.
Equipment is being issued to these
outfits such as will he needed in a
different climate ,sueh as that of
northern France .and as there is a
shortage precaution has heen taken
to equip these three infantries first.
They are destined to he the next to
leave.
Pershing Wants Carolina .Men.
The enlisted men at the camp have
heard that General Perhsing, with
the "rainbow division" in France,
has notified the department that he
wants North and South Carolina
men next, because of their splendid
showing on the border last year.
Efforts to comply with this call is
taking definite shape in the activities
at the camp. Lumber has been placed
on the ground for the construction
of boxes in which the equipment is
to be shipped and work in some
quarters has started on these. Companies
have been ordered to turn in
all surplus clothing that will not be
necessary. Much of the heavy clothing,
it is understood, will be shipped
direct to a point to be picked up by
moving regiments upon their em
barkation.
The concensus of opinion among
, the men is that practically the entire
:tOfh division will have left Camp
Sevier within the next six weeks .although
such reports lack confirmation
at headquarters. It was stated there
Tthat theey knew nothing whatever
i of the existence of such orders, but
orders for movement of troops have
been issued in some instance as late
as eight or ten hours before the appointed
time to leave. "To be in
readiness" is the preceding instructions.
Tt was stated that carload after
carload of "stuff" arrives at the
camp over night. In the afternoon
it is said the tracks may be clear
and the next morning will find perhaps
50 cars standing to be unload
ed. This has been a daily occurance
for the past week.
There's an unprecedented rush.
What does it mean? The enlisted
men, con-coms and some of the commissioned
officers have ventured then
belief and they say past experiences
do not count for naught.
More Arrive From Gordon.
Such gaps as are being made bv
the departure of men probably will
be filled by drafted men from Camn
Gordon and other cantonments. It
was learned from an authentic gouvec
that a contingent of draft men from
camp Gordon was due to arrive at
Gamp Sevier today. Only a few hundred.
it is stated, were ordered here
at this time.
Army Y. M. C. A. Work.
Appeal From John It. Mott, General
Secretary?Great Need Now in
All War Scattered Countries.
" There are more American soldiers
in France today than you think. They
have cut into their principal to go.
You will have to cut into your principal
to support them." '
Thus speaks John U. Mott, general
secretary of the International Committee
of the Young Men's Christian
Association, in a statement issued today
at the outset of the great campaign
which the Y. M. C. A. will wage
during the week of November 11 to
10 for $05,000,000 in support of war
work.
"Soon there will always he 10,000 i
American fijrhtin.tr men on leave in
Paris. We have been asked to build
an officers' hotel for them and meet- i
inpr places for the men, Dr. Mott con- <
tinues. "Already there are 1,500,000 i
Americans in the army here and overseas.
By July there will he 2,500,00.
"Follow one of these soldiers, may i
he he is your own son. your neijrh- i
hor's son or your former business s
associate. Follow him to the port of '
embarkation, which h< leaves when 1
his family does not know, and where >
i
we are trying to do some of our best p
work. Follow him across on a trans- f
port with a Y. M. C. A. secretary all I
the way to the debarkation point. I
Here the harpies are ready?not kept fl
away by a camp zone as in this coun- 1
try. In English of French village his 3
only point of contact with America is H
the Y. M. C. A., hut where he sees B
American newspapers. Follow him
as he will drill this winter in snow
and sleet, quartered in pig sties, cowsheds
or in the open. Follow him out
to 'No Man's Land,' where the only
thing he finds to eat is a cake of
cnocoiate the v. M. t". A. worker has
slipped into his pocket last thinp.
"And you may follow him to those
lonjf dark trenches, where, allowing
a foot to a man, they bury them head
to foot, head to foot, head to foot?
as far as you can see?and then cover
them over. Or you may follow them
as they come out of that other trench,
nerve shattered and weak, to be met
by the Y. M. C. A. cup of coffee or
chocolate. Under fire in one place we
cave 25,000 cups of hot coffee to these
men. Nine per cent of our secretaries
are killed in this work. And perhaps ?
you may follow him home, permanently
disabled on one of these transport
ships for wounded, and here the
Y. M. C. A. worker is also found.
"I never believed in Russia as I do
now. There are four reasons why
Russia is apparently so weak; participation
in the war; political revolution;
social revolution; religious u
revolution. The United States is find- ^
inir her hands more than full with
only the first of these. Then we should
not criticise Russia who is struggling
with all four, I admit their army and
navy are demoralized, and this is
why: They have buried .'1,000,000 of C(
their men and boys; they have had
9 000 nnn or. no nnn w
? wxiwwv liiuvnuiwi WiUUU (II U ill ,
tr
prison camps; they have been betrayed
by their rulers; and then there ^
Cc
is the insidious German intrigue.
What the Russian army needs is some- p
thing like the Y. M. C. A.?call it ,
anything you wish. The Russian sol- .'
diers must be kept in spirit at the
front. It must be done at once. If
we can hold the Russian army together
this winter, even if it shouldn't
fight a single battle, it means one
million French, English, Italian and
American lives will be saved.
"France has cabled for 500 Y. M.
C. A. workers. Italy has asked the
Y. M. ('. A. to take care of its army
of .1,000,000 men. And then there are d<
the fragment armies of Belgium, hi
Mesopotamia and Egypt?made frag- w
ments for our sake. And the prison- v<
ers of war. Sometimes I wonder if I
am awake when 1 realize what they tV
have turned to my country for?what si
mv country can give." dt
