the leaders of the Western League in

NO MEATLESS DAYS
Sammies in France Have Whole
Trainload on Hand.

Permanent Training Camp of the
American Expeditionary Army, July
2O.-A minimum of eight hours day
is school day of the American Sam
mics in their intensive training Tor
the fighting front.
The study given most attention is
machine gun fire. Practice with this
weapon is featured in the daily pro-
gram.
Major General Sibert, commandant
of the camp, with his staff, is putting
in long hours daily studying French
methods of field operations. A CO.
ordination of the two systems is ex-
pected to yield best results.
American motorcycles, used by dis
patch riders, are having their trou-
bles on French roads 1t is not the
fault of the roads so much as it is the
countless little nails spilled from
the French poilus boots Today it
was said every motorcycle had aver
aged four punctureS day from the
nails since arriving here.
An entire trainload of American
meat was reported en- route here to-
day. The camp has been told there
will be no meatless days on the menu
of the American Sammy.
Lion Cub for Mascot.
Quite few of Pershing's boys are
nursing scratches from lion cub
mascot.
One of the most popular features
of the days program of the camp is
the evening band concerts. The French
populace is delighted at the martial
music and, judging from the applause
their favorite selections are '"There'll
Be Hot Time" and Dixie"

Campaign For
Fumes For Camp
RecrcatiOnS

Washington. Nov 9.-The national
campaign for funds for the War
Camp Community Recreation Service
is now in full swing. From coast to
coast, in cities and hamlets, public
spirited citizens were soliciting sub
scriptions, which are to make up a
total of approximately $4.000,0O0 that
is needed to provided wholesome sur
roundings for the United States en-
listed men in communities adjacent
to the military camps now scattered
throughout the country.
The movement, which is under the
direction of national committee, Of
which John N. Willys. prominent
manufacturer of Toledo, Ohio. is
chairman, is the result of an effort on
the part of the War Department and
Navy Department commissions on
Training Camp Activities to re-estab-
lish home ties for soldiers and sail
ors when they are on temporary
leave from their training quarters.
On the theory that "If the passion
for home be allowed to become dulled
the enlisted man will cease to make
the supreme sacrifice in it's defense"
a most extensive programme has
been established for the welfare OF
the young man in the nations ser.
vice, who otherwise would find him
self in tsrange surroundings without
friends or acquaintances.
UP to the present time various or
ganizations, it is explained. have ac
complished much good in improving
conditions inside the camps. but
there has been no nationwide move
ment under a single supervising or
ganization to improve the environ
ment in communities adjacent to thu

In brief, the War Camp Communi

GREAT ADVANCE IN SURGERY
SINCE WAR BEGUN

Behind British Lines in France,
Nov, 9.-The American doctors who
are now at work in various parts of
the British front find that army sur
gerry has advanced just as rapidly
since the beginning of the war as any
other branch of wars activities In
the early days of the war, wounds
We're of an average gravity far be-
yond that expected from the |exper-
fence of previous wars, while tetanus,
gas-gangrene and severe suppuration,
were general and hudnreds died of
comparatively trivial injuries for lack
of early and adequate treatment.
This situation has now been altered
almost beyond recognition. Serum
treatment has almost done away with
tetanus, while earlier and more ener-
getic surgical treatment has largely
defeated gangrene More and more
of the major surgical work is being

spent most of their time since their
arrival, in advanced hospitals within
sound of the German guns.
The key to the whole improvement
in surgical results has been the push

er to the fighting lines. The enemy
has endeavored to counter this by per.
sistent bombing of the advanced hos
pitfalls, but the saving of life is more
than worth the loss of life, and suit
able defensive measures are being
taken.
