Camp Dodge, Iowa, Oct. 80, 1917
The past week has been a busy one
among the soldiers at Camp Dodge.
Hurry and hustle have been in evil
dence on every hand. Workmen put
in a busy day Sunday trying to COM
plete a number of buildings that the
new increment might be accommo-
dated upon it's arrival the last of the
week. All of the soldiers were re-
moved from the barracks they had oc-
cupied to a different section at the
Cantonment and the quarters aban-
doned will be utilized for the new
men. Many of the buildings into
which the men were placed did not
have heating equipment and some dld
not vet have windows and provisions
for lighting. That is why everybody
worked Sunday. The shifting process
changed the general alignment at he
camp and barracks to whclh he men
had become attached were given up
somewhat reluctantly but in good
spirit. and in cheerful compliance
with orders. In the changes provl-
sion was made for the segregation
of the Negroes who will report the
coming week They are to occupy
quarters in one corner of n camp.
1t is expected that the colored men
from Alabama will be the real
thing. 1t will be their first visitation
to the northland and the chilly winds
that sweep down the Des Moines val
lev will give them an idea of what
may be expected when winter comes
on in earnest. The most exciting
theme the past week at the camp has
been the liberty bond campaign. The
soldiers have paraded the grounds
headed by bands, speeches have been
delivered at convenient places and
great enthusiasm has manifested it
self in the bond drive. By the time
the campaign is over next week it is
expected that one million dollars vii!
have been invested in government Sc
c%uritics by the selected men.
