Camp Grant, Rockford, ILL.,, was set
I for 7:45 on the, c., M. & st. Paul pas
senger train and the whole city gath
1 cred to give them a rousing farewell.
| The selected men, the members of the
Marathon County Council of Defense
and members of the exemption boards
| of the first and second districts, form
| ed at the court house square. The
members of the Wausau Training
Camp formed at the armory and head
ed by Dana's band, marched to Wash
ington, east to Third, north to the
county square, where the procession
was fully formed, when the march
| was continued north to Grant and east
to the ST. Paul depot. The streets
were literally packed with thousands
of our people, all cheering and say
ing farewells. AT the depot, the
crowd was packed in like sardines for
blocks away. and it was impossible to
/ see those departing excepting the rel
|
was kept busy keeping the platform
| clear of all but those who were priv
ileged to be there.
The boys boarded the train amid
the shouts of the people, screeches of
auto horns and the playing of the
band. 1t was such a demonstration
as Wausau has not seen since the sol
der boys left for Mexico early in 1916.
The band and soldiers and others
marched back to the court house
square.
The next demonstration will be on
the 18th of September, when forty
per cent of the selected men will be
called, or 160 for this county. Ar
rangements have already commenced
to make that day a red letter one of
our city.
Indications are that at least nine
months training will be given the re-
cruits at the various mobilization
camps before they are called upon
for active service, which means that
none of the conscripts will be moved
over seas until July, 1918.
Statistics show low death rate in the
army. There are fewer casualties
than generally supposed in Europe.
Fifteen men out of every sixteen in
the Allied armies have been safe
through three years OF lighting. Dur
ing the past year not more than one
man in thirty has been killed. The
death rate from diseases is less than
in times of peace. Only one man
in 500 loses a limb-a chance no
greater than in hazardous occupations
at home. Most of the wounds sus-
tanned in the trenches are clean cut
and of such a nature that few weeks
in the hospital make the subject as
fit as ever. OF course, the whole
thing is horrible enough as it is, but
the danger is by no means as great as
the imagination pictures it.

SIXTEEN MILITARY CITIES

Altogether sixteen military cities
have been built by the government to
house $4,000 citizen soldiers selected
for service by the draft. Of these
cities, seven were ready today to re-
ceive their entire quota of officers
and enlisted men. These seven in
cluded Camp Taylor at Louisville,
Ky; Camp Travis at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Texas; Camp Lee at Petersburg,
Va; Camp Lewis at American Lake,
Washington; Camp Sherman at Chilli
cothe, Ohio; Camp Devens at Aver,
Mass, and Camp Grant at Rockford,
Ill. Seven other cantonments were
ready Sept. 1st to receive all the
officers and two-thirds or more of the
quota of enlisted men. These COM
prise Camp Dodge at Des Moines, Ia.:
Camp Funston at Fort Riley, Kas.;
Camp Custer at Battle Creek, Mich;
Camp Pike at Little Rock, Ark; Camp
Dix at Wrightstown, N. j.; Camp
jackson at Columbia, South Carolina;
Camp Gordon at Atlanta, Ga. The
two remaining national army canton
ments, Camp Upton at Yaphank, Long
Island, and Camp Meade at Admiral,
Maryland, have already received and
are taking care of more than their
full quota of officers and are ready
to receive the number of enlisted men
originally ordered there on September
fifth.
Each cantonment requires a com-
plete system of water supply and sew
erage disposal; the piping alone for
which amounts to more than fifty
miles. Ten general warehouses with
necessary trackage have also been
provided where the facilities are not
available in nearby cities.
The railroads, however, have given
splendid service. All government or
ders have been given precedence and
the lumber and other supplies needed,
have been rushed to the cantonments
in record time.
