Mobilization Camp. Lincoln. July z
Especial. There viii be no eele-
bration at Camp Norehead on the
Fourth of July so far as firing fire
crackers and other things incident to
a noisy celebration according to or
ders promulgated by the official head
Of the camp.
Work of examining member Of the
different companies composing the
Fifth regiment progressed finely to-
day with prospects Of finishing up
soon. In the Fourth regiment, 1t is
understood that l0o OF the 734 men
examined failed to pass. Eight hun
dred and fifteen men are required to
bring the regiment up to strength,
but the Fourth has present or within
call o42, so that there Is no danger
that there will be shortage.
While the two regiments are Under
stood to carry on sort OF rivalry as
far as efficiency is concerned, all this
has disappeared and the two regi-
ments are working in perfect accord.
the Fourth having turned over to the
Fifth all men recruited it does not
need itself in order that the latter
may be recruited as soon as possible.
Wisner Men at Work.
The millionaire company from
Wisner is hustling night and day
under the command of Captain
Kelso. 1t came very nearly losing
its identity as supply company soon
after reaching camp, the members
being distributed around among the
companies of the Fourth regiment be-
fore muster, but it is understood that
they will again be allowed to retain
their organization.
The men showed up well last night
in the review when the companies
marched to the city and we're re-
viewed by General Hall from the
balcony Of the Victoria hotel. A little
later there will be another parade
when they will be reviewed by Gov
ernor Morehead.
Heat prostrations have been very
few and OF a minor nature. With the
thermometer around the 100 point the
boys worked out in drill and appeared
to be able to withstand the torrid
atmosphere nicely.
Nebraska City business men sent to
the commander of Company B Of the
Fifth, $500 in United States money tc
be placed in the company treasury tc
be used in the way it would do the
boys of the company the most good
Pie Boy in Trouble.
This morning a small boy Juggling
dozen pies was halted by the guart
while entering the grounds and taker
to headquarters for examination. Ar
order has been made prohibiting the
sale Of pie, pop, pastry, and other suef
things as not being conducive to thu
welfare of the soldiers. At noon to
day he had not been taken before thu
military tribunal, but was in charg'
of a corporal calmly waiting to heal
his fate. 1t is not likely that he will
be shot at sunrise, but it is probable
that he will be given reprimand ant
the pie confiscated and given to thu
poor, whose stomachs are more uset
to pie than those of the soldiers.
While the inconvenience of carry
ing around 247 pounds of fat ane
other things is mighty uncomfortable
this hot weather, there are other in
conveniences in connection which
make trouble. That much beef is ,
valuable asset to a foot ball player
but it hampers man somewhat II
the war game 50 R. R. Rausch, tn
we'll known foot ball player, formerl,
of Wesleyan has discovered. "Rolly
resorted to several things to brini
down his weight before going befor
the examiners. He was able to knocl
off over twenty pounds, but no
enough to fill the requirements AM
was rejected.
Visitors Welcome Sunday.
1t is expected that a large crow
will visit the grounds both Sunda.
and on the Fourth Of July. The sam
rules which have been in force re
curing automobiles to park eithe
outside or inside the entrance vii
probably be in force. This is don
because the vehicle travel around tn
tents would raise so much dust tina
it would cause great Inconvenience
especially in the neighborhood of tn
. cook tents.
