peating the oath word for word and
ending with 80 help me Cod" There
were some Of the men who stepped
out Of line when the opportunity was
given those who felt that they could
MT take the oath. In one company
not from Keokuk. there were two men
who stepped out. They stood apart
from their fellows until the oath had
been given. Then someone tainted
them with being cutters. One man
with tears in his eyes looked at his
tormentors and then said:
Maybe some Of you fellows know
why I'm quitting"
A sergeant rushed out Of the crowd
and grasped this man by the hand.
You're D. right we do, and we
respect you for it," he said fervently.
And then other men came UP and
shook the mans hands and some
begged his pardon for their words.
For the sergeant explained that he
was the father of two small children
and the mother was frail and unable
to work to support them, and It was
his duty to go back to these children
and that wife.
The other man said his folks needed
him, but the boys refused &C take this
explanation and he, too, went to his
tent in tears.

QUINCY COUPLE TO
SURPRISE FRIENDS
George e. Shuiiian and Henrietta m.
Brink Married Here Yester-
day Afternoon.

This IS going to be story about
a surprise wedding. Tho couple par
ticipating are from Quincy, and they
don't want their friends to know any
thing about 1t for two months. That's
why they came to Keokuk to be mar
ried. But a newspaper reporter fail
ed to assist in the surprise two
months hence and so here's the story.
George Edward Shullian and Henri
eta Mary Brink came up from Quincy
by automobile yesterday afternoon.
They secured a marriage license at
the county clerks office. From here
they went to the office of J. A. Whet-
stone, justice of the peace, where they
were united in marriage. The groom
asked that the wedding notice be
kept out of the papers for a couple
of months at least.
The groom is in the meat and gro
Gerry business at Quincy, according
to what he told some of the officials
here. He and his bride thought they'd
like to keep the news secret for a
couple Of months.

kept traffic moving in two solid lines
of automobiles miles and miles long.
Adjoining Camp Dodge is the fine
club house and grounds OF the Hy-
perion club, the smartest country club
Of the capital city. Just now state
golf tournament is on there and the
men and women are industriously
knocking little rubber balls around
with knobby ended clubs. They seem
to be about as intense about it as the
soldiers in plain sight a short dis
lance away. The contrast between a
lot of people playing golf and about
five thousand soldiers preparing for
real war excite philosophical reflec-
lions which are not appropriate to
the news columns Of great family

This is Way Regular Army

Devotion To PolUell

The most touching exhibition of
loyalty to captain is the way one
of the regular army officers at Camp
Dodge characterized the devotion Of
Company L to Captain c. e. Powell,
according to one of the Ten who re-
turned here yesterday. The regular
army man seemed to think that men
who would stick by captain at the
risk of being called cutters, would
follow that captain to h." as he is
quoted as expressing it.
Many of the men who have return
ed to Keokuk still feel little tinge
of bitterness at the switch in COM
manders. At least one would Judge
so from the way they are talking. At
any rate the situation aroused the
men to loyalty and showed everyone
in the state and nation that Iowa men
are loyal to their leaders, and per-
haps in that very thing is the secret
Of why Iowa men make good soldiers.

The Cody Road
to Yellowstone Park
The ONLY Auto Route Into the Park
The wonderfully beau
tiful scenery along this
new route to Geyscr-
land has already won
everlasting admiration
from the enthusiastic
tourists who have traversed It's
picturesque course. Expert
enced travellers who know
what's what agree that in the
sustained beauty and grandeur
of tie scenery it far excels the
Park itself, except in one par
ticular-the Grand Canyon of
the Yellowstone river.
The route lies through the
"Buffalo Bill" country, up
the great Canyon Of the Sho-
shone river and across the
evergreen-covered mountains
of the Absaroka Range via
beautiful Sylvan Pass. It's
THE way to- go if you would

CAMP DODGE, June 29.-This is
real genuine sure thing military
camp and as far removed from play
soldier entertainment as anything
can be. With whole brigade ex-
. cent the cavalry unit encamped exact.
IL as it may be later on the margin
NJ Mexico, the scene is a big one in
several ways.
Strenuous work Is the keynote of
the entire camp and especially at this
writing in the First regiment. Thers
ia no lettering, loafing, amusements
nor any Of the light frolicsome frillS
always seen more or less in the an
nual state encampment. A prairie
farm at haymaking time with weather
forecasts Of showers and warmer-the
editorial and mechanical rooms of au
evening newspaper ten minutes before
press time-the inside of the big cof-
ierdam at Keokuk in 1912-these ana
other busy scenes are some of the
things suggested by visit of obse'-
yation to Company l. Of the First
ngiment at this date. The civilian
an have no conception of the amount
Of work required to get even C IL
pany ready to become part Of ar
army IN 8CLlOu.
Plenty Of Work to Do.
For one thing an inventory must be-
taken of all the men in the com ..any
from about eight different angles, one
roll giving their personal description,
family history and so forth, While
other rolls state other facts about
them, and each one of these so-calIed
reports must be made in quadruplicate
or more which in itself is an immense
amount of work.
On big sheet of paper ruled into
squares every man had to impress his
finger prints and the same sheet con-
tains his signature and Z lot of de-
scriptive facts about him. And an
other time a doctor injects into eacl
mans arm near the shoulder hyro-
dermic syringe full of typhoid fever
vaccine. The quartermaster sergeant;
of the company receives and DIS
penses Job lots of lot OF things
and must keep his books with the
accuracy of a bank teller or he viii
lose money.
These are only few of the hun
dred and one things which must be
done, and done accurately, before any
one thinks Of even mastering the mel
into the service of the United States.

Parts Of the City.
GUARD MOVE CAUSED 1T
Instructive Sparks Of Patriotism, In
Youth, Famed into Flame by
Sight Of Company l. Drill
ing In tho Streets.

A militant tone predominates in
boyland. The scenes incident to the
departure of Company l. for the Mexl-
can border have stimulated into life
every inherent tendency towards mill
t:.rjsm, that ever existed in the IA
ture of youth.
When Company L marched up and
down the streets of the city, with
Mayor Lotions drum corps in the
van, every boy in town was out on
the sidewalks, watching their heroes
as they went through the various mill
tary formations and evo1utions. The
morning the company entrained for
Camp Dodge, young Keokuk was astir
early, and of the 10000 spectators,
many were under IA years old.
Nor did the patriotic sparks famed
Of Keokuk's soldier sons. The boys
began whiting wooden guns and
swords. Paper hats Of the style, worn
in beaver, by George Washington's
men, have been donned. While the
born leaders among the youths have
carved out wooden swords and placed
themselves at the heads of miniature
columns of small soldiers. Here and
there is boy who owns drum and
some fortunate boys even are pos
sessed of toy horns, so that the youth
full armies are not without music.
In every part Of the city are such
companies of would-be soldiers-boys,
who If they could, would rally to the
defense of their country just as will
ingly and just as valiantly as have
their elder brothers. Deprived through
circumstance Of the opportunity to
fight against their country's enemies,
they drill and prepare, that one day
they, too. may be ready to rally to

The Boy Scouts with their khaki
uniforms so similar to those of sol
diers, has always been a popular in
stitution throughout the country. but
the wave of patriotism that has swept
the country has infected the older
boys with desire to Join the
scouts" AS a result in Keokuk and
every other city in the country, new
troops are being organized to take
care Of the boys who want to join,
the older troops already having been
overcrowded
And SO it is. AS ever, since the
world began, the spirit Of youth, de-
prived of one outlet for it's militant
exuberance, soon finds another outlet
for it's enthusiasm.

What Camp Dodge Is Like.

Camp Dodge has an ideal location.
A half mile away is large creek or
small river bordered by flat lowlands
edged by long hill of gradual slope
to a considerable elevation. Running
parallel with the creek is an interur-
ban railroad line and a half mile
away parallel with the railroad is a
fine pike on top Of the hill. On the
ground between the pike and the rail-
road lies Camp Dodge sloping down
gradually from the pike for a consid-
cradle distance and then extending
down to the level plain below. The
tents are pitched on the foot Of -ne
slope and the level plain is used for
drills and other tactical things.
Looking down on the camp from
the top Of the hill one sees the tents
of the First regiment to the extreme
right, and near the end of that regi-
ment adjoining the camp Of the Third
regiment, in the middle, is l. company
street.
With the flags at headquarters,
horses and men pulling cannon
which was unloaded from fiat cars,
the markers of the medical corps and
signal corps flying in the breeze, the
camp makes a very inspiring picture
which is a photograph of a brigade
camp in real war.
plenty Of Patriotic Visitors
It is about twelve miles from Des
Moines and that interurban road be-
ing absolutely swamped, it is practi-
caIly impossible to reach it by train.
Most of the visitors go in automobiles
and this limits the number of visitors.
Last Sunday the pike to the camp
was jammed for three miles by
thousands of automobiles tangled up
SO that some of them did not get
loose and out of the Jam for four
mortal hours. Soldiers from the camp

One of the busiest men in Camp
Dodge is Col. T. F. Lambert, who
commanded the Fiftieth Iowa, includ-
ing Co. A of Keokuk, during the
Spanish war. He is brigade quarter
master and the quantity of goods he
is handling and caring for getting in
and issuing would cause the CONNER
cial associations of some cities to is
sue a large boost about the amount OF
business done there. He is the same
Colonel Lambert that the boys of '9S
knew at Camp Cuba Libre. AT this
moment it is on the cards that he
and other staff officers will not be
mustered into the service Of the
United States and go south; but there
is well defined opinion in some quar-
tiers that Lambert will go south with
the brigade later on.
l am satisfied that what he would
prefer is to raise a regiment of vol
unteers. He had pride in his voice
when he told how many of the old
Fiftieth Iowa had written him offer
ing to join volunteer regiment under
him Probably with these old men
Of the F'iftieth as nucleus, there
would not be any difficulty in mus
tering regiment OF volunteers from
the towns and counties represented in
the regiment he commanded during
the Spanish war. 1 imagine that ii
Keokuk's Spanish war veterans saw
Lambert here in Camp Dodge they
would say that he was doing more
hard work in twenty minutes than he
was required to do in twenty days at
Camp Cuba Iibre. He must be given
credit for keeping the quartermaster's
department moving in the right way,
and this is department very easy to
get into a tangle of thousand diff
ferent sorts.
