Temperature Again Goes Up to One
Hundred Degrees Mark-Ne
Relief in Sight
Yet
DROUGHT SINCE JUNE %
worst Since the Year 1901 When Dry
Weather Prevailed for
Seventy-fhree
Days.

Keokuk sweltered again today in
heat that pushed the mercury up to
the one hundred mark The
thermometer at the weather office
was at SO degrees at noon and by
mid-afternoon this was boosted up to
the 100 degrees mark. Yesterday the
highest temperature was 100 degrees
and for the two days before that, 1O1
degrees.
No relief Is In sight, the weather
bureau states. The heat wave ex-
tends all over the middle west and
is the greatest since 1901. The
weather today was almost unbear-
able. Although the thermometer
registered just as high on Thursday
there was not 80 much suffering due
to the low humidity that prevailed.
The present drought set in June
20, since which date there have been
three light showers, in which the
rainfall did not equal tenth Of an
inch in any of them, according to
records of Fred 2. Gosewisch, Of the
United States weather bureau.
! On four days during July the
temperature has reached the hundred
mark, and the daily mean tempera-
ture has exceeded the normal for the
month by six degrees.
The year 1901 broke all records for
drought. From June % to September
8 the drought lasted, seventy-three
days in all. During this Ieriod there
were several light showers OF less
than tenth of an inch each. and
one heavy thunderstorm with rain
fall of nearly two inches on July 20.
and there was but one very light
shower during the whole month OF
August.
In that year June broke the record
FOR high temperature when It reached
100 on the Both. In July i. beat one
hundred on eight days. reaching 108,
the high mark for Keokuk on the
22nd. while So was the highest during
August

LONDON, July 28.-The same
desperate hand to hand fighting by
which the British wrested Pozieres
from the Teutons, was proceeding to-
day in the outskirts OF Longueval
and beyond the Delvflle woods north
east OF that town, as well as in the
Foureaux woods.
General Haig reported that in one
OF these clashes-at Delvilis woods
his troops had been successful. The
Berlin statement insisted the fighting
was still in progress there and that
the British attempt had broken

Haig claimed further progress"

Soldier Boys HonorabIy Discharged
From Federal Service, Chop
Wood While waiting
for Release.
WERE WILLING TO FIGHT
But War Department Ignores Them
and They Must Remain At the
Deserted Camp
Unefficered.

In little row OF tents on the hill
to the east OF the arsenal at Camp
Dodge are sixty-five soldier lads iso-
lated and lonely. says the Dies Moines
Register.
They are clad In the regulation
olive drab uniform but they are with
out commanding officers or company
/, organization.
No dress parades, drills or field
maneuvers break the monotony OF
their colorless existence. Since the
other troops left for the border. their
daily program has consisted chiefly OF
the thrilling tasks OF chopping wood
Or loading and unloading cars at the
arsenal.
President Released Them.
These are the men President Wilson
excused from service because they
had dependent families.
The soldiers who form the present
Camp Dodge army are not slackers.
They are men who took the federal
oath In . spirit Of loyalty. They
passed the physical examination and
we're ready and waiting to go to the
ington gave them permission to re-
turn to their families.
Two Weeks Alone.
Two weeks ago the order was deliv-
cred at Camp Dodge. 1t contained
the information that President Wilson
had authorized the release OF all men
with dependent families.
The order was put into execution
at once and sixty-fve men were re-
leased.
But two steps had to be taken be-
fore the men could return home.
After two weeks Of anxious waiting.
the second step had not been taken
yesterday. This step IL the order dis
charging the men from the army.
Awaited Anxiouoiy.
Instead Of drilling with their COM
rades on the border, they are now
chopping wood at a deserted Iowa
army camp while the home folks
anxiously await their return.
Many Of the men are sergeants and
corporA1s, but there arc no commits
stoned officers.
When told OF their release they
were elated. Day after day they
waited for their honorable discharge.
A week passed and they began to
see the other troops eutrain LOT Ino
border. Another week went BY and
they were LEFT.
IN at the former brigade headQuar-
tiers dozen recruiting officers are
also waiting. They were ordered to
open recruiting Offices in Iowa towns.
but SO far the war department hasn't
sent them enlistment blanks and 9th
er papers needed for recruiting.
Captain Edgar Ridenour, in charge
OF Camp Dodge. reported that the gov
eminent wants an army OF new re-
cruits, but that he has not seen any
at camp yet.
Lonesome Spot.
Camp Dodge was about the lone
soonest SPOT In creation today. When
the troops left. the camp postofnce
was discontinued. and the Western
Union took out its telegraph Office.
I'VE feel as though we were cut Off
from, the entire world" one recruiting
officer said I'VE have to 60 thirteen
miles TO get our mail and we don't
get any newspapers. A week ago this
was the most lively spot in Iowa;
now It Ii the most desola.e."
