the railroad last year." the poster
says, twenty per cent were children
under IA years of age, small children

ground, or sent there by their par
ents to pick up coal Three children
trespassers were killed every day last
year.

altar of public sentiment, because the
railroads can do nothing to prevent
trespassing, and because the public
countenances trespassing and either
will not insist upon the enactment of
laws against this evil, or if they are
enacted, will not insist upon the en-
forcement of such laws.
Reports of the Interstate Com

States last year-one for every three
million passengers carried. The tres
passers killed number more than

Guard have had no duties assigned to
them during the afternoons since their
arrival in the camp on Monday. The
order of the day is company drill from
ternoon. and battalion drill in the early
evening.
Camp life is more endurable this year
than on previous occasions for the
weather is much more favorable. None
of the guards have been affected by
the heat by the drill work, while asst
year many We're overcome.
Many visitors are attracted to the
camp and quite a crowd is usually on
hand for battalion drill Automobile
parties from junction City, Man

and other towns have motored out to
the camp to watch the amateur SOL
