Come to See Us! J V 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 , . t!
