kORR|CK TELLS OE VISIT MADE
 TO COAST CANP!

Far above the busy street below and standing out like beacon on some distant shore, a bright American flag floats from the ploe on For rick's store at First and Washing ton streets. By day the light of the sun. brightens the red, white ana blue of the emblem which in recent days has come to mean more to the present generation than ever before. But it is when night has fallen, when the street lights have been dimmed and when the greater part of the townspeople have gone to their homes and their beds that this starry emb- lem stands out most prominently. an ever present sentinel guarding the sleeping city.
 For korrick has arranged upon >the roof of his big department store, a searchlight so placed that its single powerful ray at all times falls upon the silken symbol of lib srty. as it hangs limp in the still ness of the night air or is waited upon the gentle bosom of wayward breeze. To Charles Korrick, who conceived the idea of bringing the flag out in bold relief. the stars and stripes today mean more than ever before for from his own household there has gone forth his only living brother, to take up arms for the cause of democracy against auto cracy.
 Yesterday Charles Korrick returned from a visit to Camp Kearney, where his brother, Abe Korrick, at once one of the most popular of the young business men of this city, is perfect ing himself in the business of being a soldier. And while he went to San Diego with some trepidation as to just what such a visit might re veal in the matter of just what con- ditions obtained with relation to his brother. Charles Korrick returned satisfied that his brother was being well treated and that conditions were excellent.
 The trip was a revelation to me in just what the government is doing to make the men in the army can comments comfortable and contented,' . said Mir. Korrick yesterday. Every convenience. every comfort possible has been provided at Camp Kearney. Major Grimstead and the captains l and lieutenants are doing everything in their power to make the Arizona | boys happy and contented. And how we'll they are succeeding is evidenced | by the words of hearty apprecia ton heard on every side from every one it was possible for me to inter . riCW.
 The food is exceptionally good I had reached the camp early Sunday | morning and l visited around with many of the boys whom 1 knew. 1 was in the mess house at the noon hour and the food really looked very | sppetizing. Had it not been for the fact that Abe and l had din ner invitation in San Diego. l would | have taken my dinner with him al | camp, and l know I would have en- 1 joyed it.
 q found Abe and all the rest of the boys satisfied and well contented | They were still commenting upon the l visit of Congressman Carl Hayden | to the camp a few days previously 1 They were certainly glad to see him ] He interviewed as many of the Ari- zona boys as it was possible for him to meet in the short time he could remain at the camp and heard | on every hand expressions of ap- preciation of the good treatment ac- corded the boys.
 Major Grmstead and his family are enjoying the best of health. The major made inquiries concerning his many friends in Pho < and sent his best regards to all brother. Abe wanted to know all tin news and how his friends here were getting along He is enjoying good health is be- coming hardened and is losing his | appearance of corpuience. At the same time he has gained in weight
 Besides visiting his brother, MT Korrick had talks with Robbie Baker Avery Corpstein, Lester Byron, Lieu. tenant Hess, Frank Smith, Dean Nor. ley, Private Spangler and Rosnel anG | others. Not once, he said, did hf hear one word of discontent or dis. satisfaction. He tried to see Bob Holiday, formerly of The Republican news staff. but Bob" had a day of | and was not to be located
 That such excellent sanita tior could be maintained in a camp wher,
 there are about 10000 men is re. markab ble,' said MT. korrick. In thi, respect wonderful things have beer accomplished by the government, Tt this is due the surprisingly low rat. of sickness among the boys. Tn, main streets of the camp have beer paved and these, as well as the pa
 rade grounds aresfrequently sprinkled
 The men have frequent leaves O | absence and upon these occasions
 numbering three times each week
 they are privileged to leave comp an,
 Spnd their time in seeing the sight
 in and about San Diego. Taken al
 in all it's seems to me that the bow
 have every reason to be thankful they were transferred from Camp Funston
