CAMP PIKE NOTES
That his heavy army pack
saved his life is the belief of
Lawrence Earnest Keathly of
Enola, the first Faulkner coun
ty man wounded overseas to
return to Camp Pike. Keath
ly was wounded twice on Oc
tober 9, within 15 minutes
after going over the top for the
first time. This happened on
the Verdun front, in the sa
lient where so many casual
ties Qccured. A machine gun
bullet first hit him in the left
arm. Then a piece of shrap
nel cut through his pack and
lodged in his back. His
wounds are healing and he ex
pects soon to return to Faulk
ner county.
There are just 23 Arkansas
men among the wounded of St.
Aignan Casual company No.
410 arriving here from over
seas last week for discharge.
The remainder of the company
of 154 comprised Oklahoma,
Texas and Louisiana men. All
of them praised the Y. M. C.
A. secretaries with their or
ganizations for the attention
and service rendered them in
camps and at the front.
More than 100 corps of men
and convalescents have en
rolled in the classes being or
ganized at the base hospital Y.
M. C. A. as part of the voca
tional chool established by the
V 11IV/ XllOtl U vllv|l
of the corps of men has been
delegated to the Y. M. C. A.
The instruction of the conva
lescents wounded will be by
experts provided by the gov
ernment. Instruction in any
trade or occupation desired
will be given, the teachers be
ing drawn from among the Y.
M. C. A. educational forces or
the army. Two wards at the
hospital are being fitted with
equipment for use in teaching
the soldiers.
Sgt. Robt. A. Ford of Camp
Pike has received a letter from
i his brother, Fred A. Ford, who
I gives a graphic description of
i a battle in which he took part
! in France, “There is a wonder
!ful brotherhood in the Ameri
| can army” he says, telling of
'the dividing of a piece of
! bread with a Greek and an
; Indian from Wyoming. “Speak
; a good word for the Y. M. C.
! A., the Red Cross and the K.
of C., they are wonderful—
I
the soldiers’ only friend. Nev
er a favor refused.” “The Y.
men and the K. of C. men
came through shell fire where
we were pocketed by German
artillery, with smokes, sta
tionery and chocolate, services
were said by the Y chaplain in
dense woods, drizzling rain,
with mud a foot deep.
Auction sales at the Re
mount Depot at Camp Pike of
army horses and mules will
continue throughout February
it has been announced. Four
sales were held in January,
2,350 animals were sold. Two
thousand horses and mules are
to be sold in February, the
first sale to take place this
weeK. jjates ior me remain
ing sales are February 10. 11,
and 19, and 20. Farmers fn m
all parts of the state . 'have
been among the buyers. At
the sale last week the average
bid for artillery horses was
$107., for cavalry horses $89
and for mules $144. (
About 1500 soldiers were
discharged at Camp Pike last
week, including overseas men
and those sent here from other
cantonments. This number
probably will be exceeded this
week, as orders have been is
sued for the discharge of all
who have made class A and B
allotments who can be spared.
The entire second group RTS
about 1700 men will be dis
charged, as well as 378 men
of the hospital detachment.
Camp Pike is ahead of all the
camps in demobilization.
Carrying two pistol bullets,
one in his pocket and the other
in his back near the spine,
Luther E. Barnett of Elmo City
is undergoing rehabilitation
treatment at the base hospital
He was wounded four times at
Fismes, in the Chauteau Thi
ry front, on the night of I,
gust 25, when an outpost „f s
A mnriPQnc! i xroci 4-4-.— l , _ * 0
Americans jvas ^attacked by a
raiding party of 30 GermL
“They were after prison*''
but they didn’t get them ” v ’
remarked. The bullet near hi
spine entered in the right sid
of the chest and went" npavi!
through his body. His other
wounds were in the right ha^
left leg and left arm. Barnett
says he received good treat
ment in France. “The French
people were kind, and the Y
M. C. A. had three or four men
with us at the front.” He savs
German women clad as men
were found among the Hun
prisoners.
• .Because oi complaints of
non-delivery of letters and
packages, orders have been is
sued that a commissioned of
ficer be detailed to receive and
distribute mail in each battal
lion or unit in Camp Pike.
If the soldiers at Camp Pike
“doggoned” Arkansas weath
er last January—and they did
they are fair and are praising
the glorious weather enjoyed
this January. The baseball
season seems in full blast, if
judged from the many squad
games to be see neaeh after
noon. Basket ball and volley
ball attract many, and the au
ditoriums of the Y buildings
are lively places in the even
ings when soldier teams com
