Custer Boys Arrive at Waco.

To the tune OF "Therell Be Hot
Time in the Old Town Tonight" 600
selective soldiers from Camp Custer,
Battle Creek, Mich, were welcomed
at Camp Macarthur, Waco, Texas. last
Friday, and before taps many of them
had experienced the novelty of crawl
ing through the war-like dugouts and
zig-zag trenches that are being used
here.
Met at the camp railroad yards by
the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth
Michigan band and group of officers,
the boys received greeting that dis
PEELED all doubts as to the sort Of re-
ception awaiting them at the hands
of national guardsmen.
The trip from Battle Creek to Texas
was without incident, and when the
young soldiers arrived all were in per-
feet condition, except one, who was
taken to an infirmary for treatment
BY an order received at division
headquarters from the war department
today, the selective soldiers will be
treated ''in every respect as original
members of the organizations to which
they are assigned" Hereafter they
will be known as National Guardsmeu.

Lansing.

Division officials at Camp Custer
have spiked for all time reports that
the eighty-fifth division will become a
depot or stay-at-home organization,
by announcing it is preparing as hast
lily as possible for service in France.
A story had been started in camp that
the entire division at Camp Custer was
to be a depot division for the rest of
the new national army.
Since the order was received to ship
men south to strengthen National
Guard units, members of the organiza-
ton became almost certain they were
not going abroad for a long time.
Officers pointed out that the iii.
nois division at Camp Grant, Rockford,
Ills. has been called on to send men
TO the Illinois National Guard the same
as Michigan and Wisconsin have been
asked to supply their state units.
A well-imbedded belief it is destined
to remain in this country would have
a bad effect on the morale of the di-
vision, as most Of the men wish to
get to France as soon as possible. The
statement of division officials is that
the Eighty-fifth will not remain at
home as a depot brigade, but has an
equal chance with the II other divi-
sions of the National army to get to
France first There are 16 divisions
of white men and one of Negroes in
the race.

In any event Michigan and Wiscon-

as the elaborate system of trenches is

Ineendiary Fires Being probsd.

The state fire marshal's Office IL
busy investigating several fires which
occurred last week at food storage
places in various parts OF the state,
as well as sop,e reported attempts to
blow up others.
II almost feel that IL we found some
body who was trying to set fire or
blow up food storage plant I'd be in
favor of forgetting the law" said Gov
ernor Sleeper in commenting on the
craven deeds.
"Of course, would want to make
sure we had the right persons; but
that sort of criminal is almost too
heinous to think about"
The state will take no action in
regard to the guarding of storage
plants. This has been the position
taken before and II was reiterated to-
day by the governor. Individual own
ers of plants or insurance companies
which have policies on such plants
should see to it that sufficient guards
are furnished to prevent incendiar-
ism.
While the state-paid guards are
ready to answer any call for help, they
will not be sent to guard any private
plant unless the owners Of the plant
pay them the same wages and board
them as the state does.
State Insurance Commissioner Els
worth under whose jurisdiction all the
Investigations come, says he will in
vestigate all fires.

a list of names of the men in their or.
CARNATIONS who they believe are fitted
to take course in the next officers
training camp. A school will be held
simultaneously in each camp of the
country, beginning January and
ending April 5. Not more than / 7.10
per cent of an organization can enter
the lists.
The orders read that the company
commanders shall recommend men
between the ages of 81 and 40, using
as basis military appearance, ability
for leadership and behavior.
Graduate or undergraduates of col
leges, universities or military schools
are preferred.
Upon being chosen to study for a
commission, a recruit will be relieved
Of his duties and attached to the
school, but will continue to draw the
pay which he was drawing when trans
ferred. At the conclusion of his three
months course of training in the
school, the recruit, IL successful. will
be recommended for a commission as
second lieutenant. He will not re-
ceive the commission Immediately,
however, but will be advanced when
vacancy appears.
1t is expected that over 500 men will
be selected to attend the school.

But the most interesting thing is

CAMP CUSTER NOTES

Of Detroit's large department stores

line Of military supplies.
Changes OF heart occur daily in un.
willing recruits. One man is now in
a peculiar dilemma. He was sent to
Custer while his appeal was still be-
fore the district board. It has lust
been granted, but now he likes It at
camp and wants to stay. Unless he
gets the board to reverse its ruling
before the machinery for discharging
him losses him out of the army, he
cannot stay even though he wants to.
His friends at home are making a race
for II.
Instructions have been received by
Maj. Morden to hasten completion of
buildings as soon as possible, and to
start no more new buildings. Labor
troubles are said to have fastened the,
governments order to cease ipera.
tions.
Swiping stoves has become a pas.
time in the camp, so that orders have
been issued by division headquarters
against their removal by enlisted men.
1t has become a custom to send a
brazen non-com for stove and have
him blur the rightful owners into con-
senting to It's removal.
