Trains are arriving at Camp Lewis
hourly, loaded to the limit with men
Of the third quota. AS fast as they
arrive the men are put through the
same routine as the first We're and
assigned to their future homes. The
new men gaze about in amazelneni at
The size of Camp Lewis. They feel
just as all men do when they first
get here. Next week all the men Of
the third quota will be on hand.
Size Of Camp "intoxicating."
All new arrivals must stay in the
near vicinity of their barracks at
night. This ruling was made neces-
sary because many who were too Curl
Gus got lost in their wanderings about
camp. in as much as all the buildings
look alike and the wrong direction
looks as good as the right Even some
OF the earlier Corners lose themselves
occasional ly. and are obliged to have
a guard put them on the right track
again. Last night about dark man
appeared at our company and asked
10 be headed toward home. He was
about three quarters OF a mile from
his barracks and headed due wrong.
Boys Show Interest in World Series
The whole camp is showing a great
interest in baseball and much of the
spare time is spent in getting the re-
turns from the big series. large
temporary bulletin board was erected
for the occasion on the parade grounds
and when the returns come in the
whole camp turns out. Several of
the companies have organized ball
teams and some remarkably good
games have been staged on Saturdays
and Sundays.
Y. N. c. A. Building Busy Place.
in the evenings the Y. NJ. G. a.
buildings are crowded to overflowing.
The men flock to these buildings to
enjoy an evenings entertainment. The
programs differ every night and are
furnished by the men, who volunteer
any stunt they are capable of doing.
Our company took the place by storm
last night. We really have a versatile
body Of performers who are capable
of anything from grand opera to jiu
jitsu wrestling. No sooner would one
of our men bow to the applause of
the crowd than another would be on
the stage waiting to do his bit. If a
man makes a hit he is cheered to the
echo but if he isn't appreciated the
crowd has a way OF letting that be
known also. Our company is making
quite a reputation for itself We also
star in athletics and are looking for
ward TO the inter- company track and
field meet with no small amount of
interest. Also. we have a big wrestler
,,l,1
46 inches. A purse of five dollars
awaits any man in Camp Lewis who
can pin his two shoulders to the mat.
M;ssoula Boys Visited by Ansevine.
County Attorney Fred Angevine was
visitor at Camp Lewis this week.
The boys stumbled all over themselves
getting to him to ask questions about
Missoula. He must have felt like a
witness under cross examination. Mr..
Angevine called on every Montana
man he could find and had some news
for us all. He expressed himself as
very enthusiastic about Camp Lewis
be longer.
New Uniforms Fit and FITTING.
The men have taken to their uni
forms like ducks to water. Babe"
kroone looks fine in his uniform. The
climate and work are agreeing admir-
ably with him and he looks the picture
of health.
