' We have had some very nice ladies help us. Mrs. Topper, the camp hostess, Mrs. Van Tuyl and Mrs. Searcy as the town hostesses Mrs. Sibbitt with herubottomless cookie jar and the nice ladies who have assisted her have helped you youngsters in many ways from giving you cookies to sewing on buttons. That is one thing that Captain Foley didn't have to get, bachelor buttons, because these good women were there to help you out. They have also been ofngreat assistance to Major.Rucker in getting the girls together and getting them transportation. From my point of view, that is a new era when they bring the girls to She boys. I usled to have to go and look for them myself, -but things are going differently an .it is ue to t ese nice women that this thing has been possible. The town of Leavenworth has done everything, and more thannwe could hope for, due to the co-operationof Mayor Fraser an'd the city ofiicials and the.busi:ness clubs down- town, and that also applies to many organizations through all the district -from which you young men come. You see this array of cups and medals and a lot of them you can't see, because they are smaller. All this is due to the work of our civilian friends all through this corps area. It all helps us in making this camp a success and getting the pleasure to, you. T . THE IDOL or THE 1524 CMTC HARRY A. SMITH Brigadier Gzneral, U. S. Army G-3, War Department A good deal of work was done here before you came by the Regular soldiers of the 17th Infantry. In a great many ways their work, from their point of view, might be ,considered thankless, but I think they are big enough to realize that in their small way they are doing good work. The non-commissioned ofiicers have assisted in drilling you, the privates have done their share and I want to express to'Colonel Kinney and the men my appreciation of their work. That is one thing I want you to carry away with you, that these camps are made possible by many things, but in order to have them you must havea Regular Army which drills during the whole year,-that it is due to these regulars who came here long 'before you did and got this camp in shape that it was possible to get this camp into condition for you and to make it the fine camp that you have had. Remember these regulars when you go home. I Those of you who were here last year remember my predecessor, General Smith. I have known him for years. He has been a school teacher to me and you see what he did. He did a good job-I admit it. I got a letter from him today in which he expressed his regret at not being here. He had hoped to be here and we had all hoped he could be here, but due to his duties in the General Staff he was unable to be present. He sent his regrets and best wishes to you all and when General Smith says a thing he means it. Page On: Hundred One n'.V.1n'4U-V.'.'aYn'n'a'oY.VsVnVp
