Varied Military Duti4 5 Keep
Camp Dodge Soldiers Busy

Camp Dodge, Iowa, October II, 1917.
Twenty thousand men make a great
showing when they are all on a
"hike." The whole bunch was lined
up in due formation the other day
and marched to the rifle range a
couple of miles away. It was a cold,
chilly sort of a day and the trip
warmed the boys up in good shape.
Not all of them wore full uniforms
because all have not yet been provid-
ed but each fellow had been under
training and he got the military
punch even though under adverse con-
ditions. A good natured Swede from
Minnesota, who has found it difficult
to mark time just right, declared that
he was the only man in his company
who was keeping the step. The men
of the first and second increment have
all kinds of advice for those who are
soon to come as the third increment.
One thing that they urge is to bring
plenty Of clothing. The first two in
stallments brought only one suit and
it was for summer use. Commander
Plummer wishes every man in this di-
vision of the national army to make
neat appearance upon the street.
The fact that army clothing is slow
of issue, that much of it is lacking as
yet, prevents them from going to the
city in uniforms. They are not al
lowed to wear army shirts, hats and
overcoats with civilian trousers. Hence
a man getting to town must wear his
civilian clothes. If these are not neat,
clean and of good appearance the
man usually is not allowed out of
camp. So the advice the boys here
are sending home now is to bring in a
suit case, an old suit to wear in drills
and on fatigue duty until full uni
forms are issued, and to wear a good
suit which can be used in going TO
the city. General Plummer also urges
men to bring in their suitcases plenty
of face towels handkerchiefs, socks
and one or two changes of under
clothing.

the Eighty eighth division will be
used to bring national guard units

The order included a request for 2, ,4OO

Rejected for Physical Defects
Two hundred fifty-two reflections
because of physical defects have been
reported by the division surgeon fol-
lowing the examination of approx
mately 10000 men. These men were
all passed by the local examining
boards and by the authorities having
charge of the preliminary examina-
ton at the camp. This is the final
test and it is very searching and
thorough. Deficiency in eye sight is
responsible for many reflections.
Some Of the selected men feign physi-
cal infirmities in the hope Of getting
out of the service. The doctors aver
that as many men try to deceive
them that they may remain in the
service as there are who try to es-

SUBMARINES TOLL
SHOWING INCREASE

This weeks figures show "a con-
siderable increase in submarine ac-
tivity as compared with recent
weeks. Last Wednesdays statement
reported a total of only twenty
three vessels sunk against the thirty
eight now announced. The aggre-
gate is the largest of any for a month
passed. Last week only fifteen YES
sells of more than 1000 tons were
sunk. and three of less than that
tonnage.
The figures of submarine sinkings
began to show a falling off early in
May from the heavy totals of April
when during one week-that ending
April 22-forty vessels of more than
800 tons were sunk and fifteen of
smaller tonnage. During the week
ending May the total of the larger
merchantmen sent to the bottom fell
to twenty-four For each of the
three following weeks the totals of
vessels of the larger class stood at
eighteen, while the number of the
smaller craft sunk was covered by
single figures. Last week the mini
mum for the entire period since Feb
ruary was struck.

KIMBALLToN

They have got to give it to Iowa
for patriotism, if one may Judge
from the number of men (mostly
boys) here from the Hawkeye state"
was the remark of our sergeant the
other day. And he is right. A large
percentage of the recruits coming
here are from our state. In the last
company that arrived, about a hun
dred strong, over one--half were
from Iowa.

HERE TO VISIT FRIENDS

]. Francis Connolly, of Chicago,
arrived in the city Wednesday for a
few days visit in Audubon. This is
the first time he has been in the city
for 25 years, and of course finds that
practically all of the old land marks
have been removed. and in their
places are new and modern buildings
and homes.
Mr.. Connolly worked in hotel in
Audubon during the eos and was
a member of that famous volunteer
fire team which broke the worlds rec
ord in 1891 and again in 1892. 1t
was the hook and ladder team that
won this great distinction when it

sire to visit the scenes of his early
manhood for many years, but for
some reason or other his much desir-
ed visit has been delayed until this

+. j. Freeman, Dr. Brooks, Harp
Wilson and many of the old timers,
for he knew practically all of the
people here as he remained in Au-
dubon about five years. This Office
acknowledges a pleasant call from
Mr.. Connolly.
