Camp § Camp Seiier Wadswortk 4 Miles 12 Miles

Opens the first of May at the urgent request of military authorities to care for army men and their families. Chick Springs, famous for years as a Southern resort owing to the curative qualities of the water, is located on the direct line of the P. & N. Electric Railway (station on hotel grounds) midway between Spartanburg and Greenville. The hotel is new, modern and situated on the crest of hill overlooking a large open air swimming pool and well-kept lawns with the Blue Ridge Mountains as a background only a short distance away. Chick Springs Hotel will be operated on the American Plan and will be the social center of all mil• itary activity, with two cedar hardwood dancing floors, private dining rooms, roof garden, orchestra and open air attractions. Owing to the crowded condition of Spartanburg and Greenville immediate reservations are suggested. Under Management of W. C. MacKENZIE, Formerly Strand and Shelburne Hotels, Atlantic City, N. J.

FOOTE & DAVIES CO., ATLANTA GAS ATTACK

When We Come Back

When we come back, remember . . . the things we planned to do:

The little house upon the hill with room enough for two,

The casement with the ivy, the grass so soft and deep,

The singing roof where drops of rain would lull the night to sleep.

You said you'd hold me tight and never let me go again,

You'd kiss each scar upon my face, and every mark of pain;

When we come back, remember-—you laughed when it was said—

I might be out an arm, but you would hug me twice instead.

I'll know you will have suffered far more than even I,

I'll know the sleepless nights when you could only walk and cry.

Remember, proud of heart, dear, if I should chance to fall,

You'd rather I had not come back, than never go at all.

Remember all the nonsense we said we'd talk at night

When, leaning on the swinging gate, we'd watch the stars in flight;

And don't forget the roses, the tinkling, leafy brook,

And how—you did, you know it—you said you'd learn to cook.

When we come back, remember . . . the things we planned to do:

The little house upon the hill with room enough for two,

The casement with the ivy, the road a winding track,

The little house upon the hill, and . . . and—when we come back!

LETTERS TO MABLE IN BOOK FORM.

Famous Epistles of Bill Are Now Collected.

"Dere Mable" will be handed down to pos• terity. She will take her place in fiction with Portia, Becky Sharp, Rowena, Little Eva and other celebrated feminine figures. Bill's letters to her, which the Gas Attack has been privileged to print weekly, have been collected and illustrated and are now out in book form under the title "Dere Mable, a Rookie's letters to his Sweetheart." The author of the letters, as most of the civilized world and part of Germany know, is Lieut. Edward Streeter of the 105th Field Artillery. The letters are illustrated by the inimitable G. William (Bill) Breck of Co. B, 107th Infantry, a distinguished graduate of the Camouflage College, and a professional artist of note in New York City. Lieut. Streeter, whose home is in Buffalo, started a promising literary career at Har• vard University where he was president of the Harvard Lampoon, a college humorous magazine which has graduated a number of now celebrated humorists.
