Captain Jens Bugge. who is now

dered to Hot Springs. Arkansas, LOT
his health. Mrs. Bugge, VINO was III
Topeka during the summer, with ner
mother, Mrs Ben Cuttell, expects TO
remain in the west, during Captain
Buege's a bsence. He contracted ma
laria during his residence in the Phll-
ippine Islands, and he still suffers
from the effects of the disease
During the late summer an lnStruc-
ton camp was conducted for the buS1-
ness men of Seattle. Captain Bugge
was one of the officers, having the
place of senior instructor in the camp,
and he is regarded as one OF the pest
informed tactical experts in the army
today A story of the camp from the
Seattle Sunday Times, says of the cap
tain:
Captain Bugge's reputation as tao
teal expert is more than justified by
his graduation from West Point TO
term of service in the war college
He stood fourth in the 1895 gradua-
ton class at West Point and earned
athletic honors a member OF the
football team. His first assignment
was as second lieutenant of the
Third infantry, serving with that reg
iment for two years. He was then de-
tailed to West Point, where he served
for four years Instructor in draw
ing. During that period he made sew
eral futile attempts to join a reg1-
ment either in Cuba or the Philip
hint
ed promotion to the rank of first lieu
tenant in 1898, and became a captain
in 1901.
In February of 1901 he was assigned
to the Twenty eighth Infantry, then
being organized at Vancouver Bar
racks. Nine months later the regi
ment was sent to the Philippines, and
in July of the following year Captain
Bugge was appointed aid de-camp to
Maj. Gen. George b. Davis, command
ing the troops in the Philippines
lone year later he was sent back to
West Point as. senior assistant instruc-
tor in ordnance and gunnery, serv-
ing in that capacity for eighteen
months, when his application for re
lief and assignment as adjutant of
the Twenty-eighth Infantry, then at
Fort Smelling, was approved. Captain
Bugge held this post until August, 1906,
when he entered the School of the
Line. This course was interrupted,
however, by his assignment to go with
his regiment to Cuba and it was not
until August 1, 1907, that he resumed
his course. He was graduated with
third highest honors in the class of
1908 and in 1909 completed his Staff
College course.
He then returned to Fort Smelling
serving nine months more with the
Twenty eighth Infantry. During that
time he made the annual federal in
spection of the Minnesota militia and
was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES with that or
ganiZation in summer maneuVer camp.
August L, 1910, found him en- route
to the War college and a year later
he was appointed on the general staff
and returned as an instructor at the
War college. He was with the Thir-
teenth Infantry in the Philippines
from November, 1912, to January,
1915. returning to the Twenty-first In
fantry at Vancouver Barracks early
this year.
Captain Bugge is one of the most
popular men at camp. Grave and cour-
teous, he fulfills the ideal of the per-
rect American soldier, and no service
he can give the citizen-students is too
great to be rendered graciously He
has suffered from a severe malariaI
attack during his stay in camp, a re-
minder of his Philippine service. but
despite his illness he has toiled early
and late to make the camp successful. -
