XEW YORK, THTTRffDAY, SEPTE5IBER .20, 191T, NEWS FROM MILITARY GAMPS WHERE BROOKLYN BOYS TRAIN Camp Wadsworth Fort Hamilton CANCELS CONCERT TOUR TO JOIN AVIATION CORPS BROOKLYN BROTHERS IN MARYLAND CAMP I '( 23D GETS 1,000 -MBff IN RECRUITING DRIS!

Encamped in Van Cortlandt Park, September 19 Yonkers, so markedly different from New York and in many regards not unlike Brooklyn, has become the stamping ground for thousands of Brooklyn's guardsmen.

Of all the Brooklyn contingents in the service of Uncle Sam, the Twenty-third Regiment is the only one which, though estranged from home, has found a temporary substitute for its home town. Yonkers is essentially a city of homes. Its many churches, its broad avenues and cool, tree-shaded streets, even its overhead trol-ley wires, are in many ways typically Brooklynlike and, being only five minutes from camp, it has become a daily custom for the soldiers to stroll through its streets amid scenes so familiar. But, in the words of the men themselves, "Are we downhearted? Certainly not. judging from the manner in which they invade Yonkers the evening.

Any soda clerk, movie or theater manager will testify to the buoyant spirits of Brooklyn minute men. The Yonkers Y. M. C. too, has come in for a good share of the patronage, its wholesome and clean entertainment having the broadest appeal among the boys from camp.

Yonkers is also the place where much of the letter writing is done. Drug stores and stationery stalls have provided conveniences for writing and purchasing stamps. On the whole, Yonkers, rediscovered bv Brooklyn's guardsmen, has been found to be not such a bad place after all, as some vaudeville jokesmiths used to say. The hoys believe that Spartanburg, with ail its boasted Southern hospitality, will have to "go some" to beat that particular brand dispensed so unsparingly in Yonkers. "Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching." Of course, they're Brooklyn boys, and one could know that quick enough by their marching'.

They've become really famous, these men from Bedford avenue. They capture everyone's hearts when they swing past in their long, glittering flies precision, poise, dignity, not a flaw. Yesterday was just another of these bi-weekly hiking days in the Twenty-third camp, to which the residents of Westchester and the Bronx look forward with eagerness. On these days they are treated to a show the equal of which, perhaps, is only to be found a few rFrom a Stal Correspondent. 1 Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S.

September 20 A marriage, kept secret since June 30, has just been announced in. the Headquarters Troop of the First Cavalry. The bridegroom is Herbert R. Porter of 1452 Fifty-fifth street, Brooklyn. He was married in Philadelphia to Miss Eloise Belle Grimley of Cedarhurst, L.

I. The two had been engaged for some months when Porter answered the call, on May 29, and enlisted Id the Headquarters Troop. Miss Grimley then decided that if he was going to war he was to have some one to come back to, and the couple slipped away to Philadelphia on June 30. They Had wished to keep it a secret indefinitely, but an especially fond farewell scene on Saturday attracted attention to the two and Porter has now 'fessed up." The men of his troop celebrated by giving him a "skimmelton" last night. Porter was formerly in the Second Battalion, Naval Militia, for three years.

Private Jack Hallett of A Troop has won the title of "the most detailed man In the squadron." Hol-lett, on the day of arrival here, was detailed first to unload horses; next he unloaded supplies; then he was in the detail for watering the horses: when he finished that he was assigned to unloading tent floors, and he finished the day by pegging down the tents for the company olflcers. His next day's details numbered seven. When Wednesday rolled around Hal-lott put up a sign over his cot; it said; "Nothing to do 'till tomorrow." Another especially detailed man was Private William Ryan of Headquarters Troop. Ryan handled heavy lumber, pitched tents, Bulled tree stump's and carried fifty-two trunks Monday and Tuesday, and then, after that form of work was out of the way each day, was called into the Headquarters office to help out as a stenographer. Ryan's opinion is that he is being fitted to become the squadron's jack-of-all-trades.

Troopers David J. Porter and Michael J. Malone of Headquarters Troop, have become famous throughout the squadron as constructing the efficient and highly organized fire-fighting force. The designation came because the third section cook car got afire at Greensboro, N. on the way down.

Porter and Malone smelled sfoke, but couldn't trace It to its source until at last a burst of flame came from beneath the cook stove. The layer of sand beneath It wasn't thick enough and It had set fire to the bottom of the car. Malone and Porter worked- six hours with axes and water before they could extinguish tho blaze. By that time a hole had been burned right thrpugh the bottom of the car and no place was left to set up the stove again. As a result, every man's breakfast on the third section.

Monday morning, consisted of two sandwiches, but they thanked Malone and Porter for that much, as the mess supplies', were all carried in the cook car and were saved by the valor of the firemen. Trooper Dusty (Joseph) Hayes of Troop, has been awarded the medal by his immediate comrades for skill on the various unloading details. It was an unusual feat that brought the honor. Hayes and several others were handling a 16-16-foot tent platform, when the others let go, through a misunderstanding; Hayes, underneath the platform, did an AJax stunt and held the platform on his should ders for a full minute before the others took hold again. "Huh! trying to qualify for holding up a trench single-handed?" asked the others.

It Is being said In A Troop that Trooper Perclval Van Holland of the troop, has brought some knitting with him. Whether he is knitting a sweater for himself or wishes to show some girl at home how proficient he Is, could not be learned. To Trooper Al Stewart of Headquarters Troop, fell the lot of digging an incinerator trench. While he was shoveling away, out of sight, came a voice: "Have you all got a box in there?" "No, we all haven't a box in here," answered Stewart "But who gave you the right to be so curious, anyway?" A face was thrust forward Into the excavation. It was that of Major Edward McLeer.

Stewart saw a great light. Thirty-second Thirty-third Totals 18 12 12 7 794 Camp Upton (Katio'vd Army Revrvits; 15th Infantry, Second Battalion) Fn'rti a Si.iff C'v. Camp I'pli'ii. YuplianU, L. September "') Arriving in camp yesterday for the l.T'S'.i recruits was a combination of all the emotion!) which attend a viat to the item fat.

The men in camp enjoyed the arrival of the new men; I hat all that can be said the event. Never before had thes j. fellows, the new ones, received so much in such a limited period of time. It was hurled at them from all directions, and their weary plod to the barracks was a thorn-strewn path of sarcasm and downright mean jibes. More than once an arrival threatened to leave tile wavering ranks and vent his ycnt-np temper on some persistent and particularly annoying fellow whose remarks stung.

Tiio first train, bringing more than l.Ol'O laborers from the city, arrived at 12:20 o'clock. On it were 200 men from New Hyde Park, Belmont Park, Lynbrook. Itockville Centre, Valley Stream, Hewlett, Woodmere, Cedar-huitt and Lawrence, Ten minutes later the second train, carying the Brooklyn men, from Districts 23 to So, inclusive, pulled in at tho siding. The men were cheering and singing and showed more life than the Long Island, Manhattan, the Bronx and Westchester combined. Thomas Griffin of 10 Tillary street lias tiio proud distinction of being the first Brooklyniic as well as tho first man from the CIrcator City of this second increment to put foot in camp.

So anxious was he to see what the place looked like that he swung off the train while it was still in motion, and throwing his hat in the air gave himself and the camp three rousing cheers. Alfred tilass of District 23, Brooklyn, who was recently operated upon for appendicitis, fell victim to Uie heat and the excitement. He was unconscious when the train arrived and was promptly placed in an auto ambulance and rushed to the hospital. There was no report on his condition, but it is understood that it is not serious. The Brooklynites were well on their way to barracks, when the three trains which followed with the other recruits arrived.

Word went ahead quickly that the "green ones" as these veterans of one week termed yesterday's detachment, were in camp and when the head of the thin column had reached a half way point, the men were out in force to greet their friends and taunt those they did not know. "Now, you are In for a bit," yelled one big fellow. "God help you and have your relatives pray for your soul. Ten miles of trench for you guys to dig, so get ready." Some believed him, but others did not. This was the first greeting.

Later on they were willing to believe anything they heard, and they heard much that was not to be believed. "How are the cats?" asked a newcomer. "Rotten," was the chorus. "Beans for breakfast, beans for dinner and no supper." This seemed to make a hit, for all along the line were fellows, who, looking exactly what they werei well fed fellows with an excess of animal spirits because of the week's clean active life in the open, gave the lie, right and left. They informed the marchers that they had not been given a square meal since they arrived.

There was one man in the crowd who earned a Jewel in his heavenly crown. Frequently he called out not to mind the other fellows and that the food was excellent. He is James R. Ford, no relation to Henry, he said, and he lives at 212 West End avenue. "I never ate such wholesome food in nfy life, and I guess I know every good restaurant in Manhattan," he said.

"I am for this Army life over a house. It is fine." Strange as it may seem there was actual need for some kindly soul of his stamp, for the men were becoming alarmed. Another favorite outdoor pastime was warning the newcomers against the frightful temper and ham-like fist of a mythical first sergeant. One chap repeatedly told how he "knocked men bow-legged before breakfast" and that he was always looking for trouble. The arrivals made it evident that a week in camp does wonders for the civilian.

As the men marched up the road yesterday their gait was a combination of shuffle, shample, hop, skip and a jump. Frequently they were passed by-small details of th week-old soldiers, who were out on tH roads learning how to walk. The contrast was violent. Even the training of a week had lengthened out their strides, squared their shoulders and as one Plattsburg lieutenant expressed it, "has made you fellows look alive, whether Frank G. Mayer, aged 19, and Raymond W.

Mayer, aged 18, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Mayer of 12u Chauncey street, Brooklyn, are now at Camp Meade, Admiral, Maryland, with the Tcnlh New York Infantry, Company L. They both attended Boys High School.

It was good, and we enjoyed it very much. The newspaper men are going to look him up today. His mother can find a ready sale for -pies of that sort and cash will be paid in advance.

From now on the journey to and from the city will not be so hard on the pocketbooks of the men and their visiting relatives. By command of Maior General Bell, Lieutenant Colonel E. E. Booth, Chief of Staff, announced that an arrangement had been made with the Long Island Railroad whereby a considerable reduction in rates has been obtained. There will be special trains beginning Saturday, September 22, leaving Camp Upton at 6:32 a.m.

and 1:30 p.m. The trains will make the run in two hours, arriving at Flatbush avenue and the Pennsylvania Station Eastbound trains will leave the Pennsylvania Station and Flatbush avenue at 11:45 o'clock every Saturday night. Enlisted men may purchase round trip tickets for the sum of 60 cents. The tickets will be good only on trains leaving the city or the camp between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and midnight, and can be used only when the soldier is in uniform.

On all other trains the enlisted men must pay $1.20 a round trip, or round trip tickets good on the special trains only for the sum of $2.60. MITCHEL'BENNETT Continued From Page 4. Tenth Assembl yt District. E. D.

The rest of the outfit is under canvas, although the Twelfth expects to have brick barracks soon. Tents are line in summer time, say the men, but the winds blow briskly at the fort, and when cold nights such as those that last week come a brick wall is better protection than one of cotton duck.

Drill nowadays is mostly with the heavy artillery. In the old days at the armory the manipulation of the big guns was part of the routine, but somehow the men did not reel mat working a compressed air gun was the same as working one that might take its charge of explosive and blow a ship clean out of the water if the chance came. That is why the handling of mortars and heavy guns is receiving such careful attention now. The men have their hearts in their work. Of course camp and fort life would not be complete without an official newspaper.

The "Twelve Twitters" is the name of the little home paper gotten out by Private Sidney Milborn, in whom a mint of unknown talent was unearthed. Mil-born incidentally is quite a cartoonist and it is largely through the medium of the cartoon that he is making his points with the "Twitter." Unfortunately neither a printing press nor an engraving plant is included in the resources of the fort, and the only copy of the paper turned out must be placed on the bulletin board. The companies are eagerly awaiting the next issue on Saturday. Last Saturday, the tort resembled the front doors of a country newspaper Just off the press. The Rev.

James Casey of St. Augustine's Church, is the unofficial chaplain of the Catholic boys of the Thirteenth, and the other units at Fort Hamilton. Father Casey has many of his boys in the regiments, and he is proving exceedingly popular with all the men at the fort.

Bed ford and Atlantio avenues. This 14 the concrete result of a drive which is now only on its fourth, day.

It will last a week. As only 1,000 men are needed bring the regiment to war the campaign could be closed now it all the men who have applied for vat listment could be accepted. A siderable percentage, however, mafi be rejected for physical disability, and 1 for this reason the drive will continue with unabated vigor. A dozen physicians are working' constantly at the armory examining! the new applicants. One batch of recruiters alone, last night, Induced' 100 men to Join thi regiment On one of the Fifth av' nue busfes they toured the theater district in Manhattan, invading several theaters during the intermission and conducting street meetings.

Henry D. Granger and E. B. DeCastro, affiliated with the Mayor's Committee on National Defense, headed the party and made addresses. The Marine Band furnished music Members of the Twenty-third attended a performance in the Lexington Theater, Fifty-first street and Lexington avenue, Manhahttan, and made successful efforts there to swell the regimental strength.

Between the acts of "Shore Acres" the band played patriotic airs and Colonel Norton and other officers made speeches. Soldiers 1 passing up and down the aisles appealed directly to young men in the audience to don the khaki and become their comrades. Five more buses have been donated for the campaign by the Mayor's Committee, making a total of twelve which tour the city daily carrying recruiting parties. The usual evening meeting in front of the armory in Brooklyn last night produced its quota of volunteers. Moving pictures showing army life were thrown on a screen front of the buldng, Prvate House sang and an address was made by Leutenant Law-horn, a medcal officer who returned rcently from France, where he was attached to the Amercan Expeditionary force.

All the members of the regiment are working individually in the recruiting campaign. Private Duryea, who says he never before made a speech, took the stage at the Bush-wick Theater last night and made a forceful appeal. Many private organizations are aiding the drive. The Volunteer Fira -Workers -and First Aid Society held a rally last night in the Prospect Theater and will hold another In the Bushwick Theater tonight, and one in the Greenpoint Theater tomorrow night. A squad of soldiers has been detailed to co-operate.

Russell Dunn, the Brooklyn antl-Socialiirt, was speaking at Sixth avenue and Ninth street, when a bus filled with men of the Twenty-third came along. He at once turned the meeting into a recruiting rally. Moving pictures dealing with British army life will be shown tonight in front of the armory. Saturday Is the big day in the drive, and it la planned to have a band accompany each of the recruiting detachments. Monday night a benefit to raise money for the personal equipment of the regiment will be held at the armory under the auspices of the National Patriotic Song Committee.

The Mayor's Committee on National Defense has issued a statement boosting the recruiting campaign. Sheepshead Bay (Fourteenth Infantry.) Camp Harkness, Sheepshead Speedway Park, September 20 The camp was agog with excitement today at the prospect of a baseball game at the Crescent Athltic Club grounds, between a picked team from the Fourteenth an danother fro mthe First Cavalry, encamped at the Bliss Estate. The Fourteenth men have been coached by Captain Starrett of Company; and have been promised by all their officers, a lot of fatigue duty if they do not win. Old trenches here need filling, and there are new ones to be dug. If the nine men sent out against the First Cavalry do not bring back the silver loving cup that is to be the prize, they will be detailed to fill and dig, it is said.

Privates Smith, Zoller, St. Clare, McNaughton, Lind, Marshall and Aschoff are to play the bases and outfield and a double battery composed of privates Brown and Lombardl, catchers, Harper and Schwab, pitchers, will look after the First Cavalry batters.

DISTURBER OF RALLY SAYED BY SOLDIERS Mob Tried to Get Doyle When He Interrupted Recruiting. By disturbing a recruiting rally of the Twenty-third Regiment at Fifth avenue and Ninth street last night, Columb C. Doylo, 3S years old, of 210 Seventeenth street, amused the wrath of the patriotic spectators, who attempted mob him.

He was com-pcllpd to take rfugs in a nearby restaurant and wits guarded from violence by several members of the regiment. Pilvat John F. Manzinger of the First Field Artillery, stationed at Van Cortland Park, appeared in tho Fifth avenue court today as complainant against Doyle. He alleged that while Sergeant George Smith of the Twenty-third Infantry was delivering an address encouraging recruiting, Doyle broke in with the remark, "To v.lth recruiting, to with England." Poyle pleaded not guilty. He told Magistrate Naumer that as an Irishman he had no use for England, but denied that he said anything in opposition to recruiting.

He was held for a hiring tomgrrgw, 31 21 26 17 23 27 23 24 35 33 10 16 28 21 29 16 16 18 23 34 35 36 33 41 37 41 24 39 2t 27 28 22 21 20 21 20 18 25 92 40 21 29 36 44 14 63 26 39 24 15 27 25 27 20 41 6 25 14 TJ 7 33 17 10 4 18 2 839 826 839 miles north at West Point. The hike yesterday took only a few hours. The distance was a little over ten miles. The route was Westchester road, Broadway and City Island. These hikes, the boys say, are only the preliminaries to that big and final event, the hike over the road that leads to Berlin.

If you want to make history and, besides, take that hike, says the colonel, join the Twenty-third NOW. Next Tuesday will be too late. The Twenty-third Regiment has a little Plattsburg all of its own. Major Addison, that dapper little leader whom one would sooner mistake for a major-general, has started an officers' school In Van Cortlandt Park. Major Addison received his training at an Oklahoma Army post.

What he learned during that training he will now endeavor to impart to the commissioned and ambitious non-commissioned officers of the regiment. A more beneficial contribution to the general efficiency of the outfit has rarely been made, the headn staff believes.
