ISpeiMl of Tho Kagle. i l'aris, August HI Ileing a chaplain in the 1'iHted states Kxpeditionary Force is a far better job than that of a colli ge professor, according" to the llev.

He is a graduate of Holy Cross Academy. Camp Gordon (Special to The Eagle.) Camp Gordon, Atlanta, September Brooklyn men in the recent contingent sent to this camp are finding Camp (Jordon slightly different from the impression they gathered from the letters and tales told bj 5,000 of their friends who are now in France with the 82d Division. There is a big difference between Gordon, the replacement camp, and Gordon the training ground of tho Sid I)i vision. The difference rests chiefly in the fact that there is now very little of the sensational in the training of the troops, no long hikes to Atianta for parades, few sham battles and little excitement of any kind. Ill face, there is little now but the steady grind of thorough and speedy replacement training.

Gordon's present task as a military center is to make ers cruits in the course of a short time. This training period varies in length, in some cases extending as long as three months and in others being cut Uowvn, to six weeks. Of late tlie training period has been the shortest in the history of the en ment center. This means an unnaral-' leled rush of training with no time for anything but intensive instruction in the use of the rifle and tho gas mask and on Ihe drill Held. One angle in 'which the replacement feature has the advantage over the divisional training, however.

is in point of promotion, and Brooklyn's new men seem to be determined to take advantage of this fact. i There is a great need for noncommissioned ollieers, and there is lit. tie trouble for the capable, willing and intelligent num to wjn More promotions have been announced here in the past month than during the entire stay of the S2d Division, other promotions in which Brooklyn men are named are slated to begin appearing soon.

A fcv-n' ft Brooklyn Athlete Took Command When Captain Was Killed All Cited for Bravery. Word has been received here that First Lieutenant Kdmund H. Driggs, famous as an athlete at Adelphi and Princeton, commanded a machine gun company at the battle of the Marne, that he has had a narrow escape from death, and that his company has been cited in general orders for distinguished conduct in that great engagement. News of his escape from death is told in a letter dated July 19, and addressed to his parents, in which he says: "Right after supper Captain Bossl, Lieutenant Millerman and I went forward to reconnoiter some of the positions we were to tako up the follow, ing night. When we got to the headquarters of tho company we were to relieve, Captain Bossi told me I had better ride back aways and find our escort wagon, and then after getting it on the right road to return to camp.

I found the wagon and had Just started buck when hell broke loose. I was stopped on tho road just outside of a little village, trying to tell a soldier on an ammunition wagon where tho Field Artillery was. Shells hit on every side, all at once, and 1 gave my horse one kick and off we went. I rode for about one-half mile with shells just raining up and down the road, when I bumped into a truck and some wagons which were stopped because of gas. I hopped off the horse and put on my mask and just waited and prayed that none of those shells would hit near me.

Well, they didn't; and soon again I was on my way. Oh, it was a hell of a ride, and I don't see yet how I ever got through it. Finally I got back to the company, and from there you could get a view of J. Drills. cverythinc It i a wonderful, though awful, sight.

"Next morning orders came to go for-Wf'il and I took command, as Captain Uossi had not, returned. I'm very sorry lo say that I am still in command, as poor Captain J.ossi and Lieutenant Millernian were both killed by the same shell.

Maley to Work for Liberty Loan. (Special to The Camp Meade, September 28 Two Brooklyn boys were among the members of the first graduating class of the new non-commissioned officers training school at this cantonment. They were Sgt. John Erickson and Corp. Max Horowitz.

The commencement exercises of the school were held Friday. The graduates were addressed by Col. Everard E. Hatch, 154th Depot Brigade, who told the men how important the non-coms were ill the scheme of victory. The non-coms, he said, formed the backbone of an army.

Without good non-coms, possessing pep and qualities of leadership, no regiment or other military unit could advance very far. The school is the first one of its kind established in this country and, on that account, the authorities in Washington have been greatly interested in it. The students who are admitted to the school are such men who have proved by their work that they form good material which may be used in the developing and training of the rookies. 'I 'he course of training at the school includes signaling, bayonet training, preliminary rifle and musketry practice, paper work and training in giving commands. The graduates had an entertainment and banquet in connection with the commencement exercises.

Another class will take up work immediately. Marty Maley of Brooklyn, who has made such a big hit In this camp and in Baltimore by means of his singing and other onterlnming stunts, has been luek-pd with few other soldiers. to make a tour of some of the West Virginia cities in connection with the I Fourth Liberty Loan Drive.

This woman, who is from Baltimore and who said that she had a son in France, met Fred in the vestibule of the Y. W. C. A.

Hostess House. She got talking to Frerl and at the end of the conversation pressed a dollar into his hand and told him to treat himself to a good dinner. Ziegler protested and tried to return the money, but the woman ran down the steps and boarded a trolley ear. The military police wouldn't let Fred cross the boundary line that is marked out-de the station. The best that Ziegler could do was to wave goodby to his benefactor as the train pulled out.

Then he followed her injunction and went into the Hostess House and ate.
