MEASLES
BAR TO
COUPLE

A sentry walked between them.
She spoke words OF love and so
did he and the naughty sentry
smiled and snickered as he shifted
his gun from one shoulder to
'tother and warned hubby to keep
his distance.
Cupid, or the assistant Cupid
who takes care of married folks,
scowled and chewed his finger
nails, but the sentry continued to
demand obedience to the order
which placed the men of company
ID, 363rd infantry, in quarantine
for measles.
Here are the facts:
Mrs. Raymond N. Crummey,
wife of Private Raymond Crum-
mey, who was a wealthy junior
partner of Ransom & Co., plumb
ers OF Oakland, Cal, came to Camp
Lewis to see her husband. She
arrived at camp at 1880 p. m. Sat
urday.
She arrived at his barracks at
7:45 p. m, same day. At 7:40
the quarantine order became eff
fective.
Somewhere in a Tacoma hotel
room is pretty girl-wife that is
lonesome for a man who hasn't the
measles but whose bunkmate has.
If no new cases of the deadly
ailment develop she can talk to
hubby without a sentry's presence
in two weeks.

ROUSES

LONDON, Dec. 1.--England fer
vently hopes America is not mis-
led by the Marquis of Lansdowne's
letter asking for early peace. APP
prehension lest the viewpoint TAX
en- by the statesman be mistaken
ly attributed as that of a major
ity of Englishmen, was foremost
in the editorial comment today.
Publication of Lansdowne's
views has created bitter whirl-
wind of dispute. Supporters pro
and con are both quoting Presi-
dent Wilson freely in support Of
and against the former foreign
minister's views.
TIL anti-Lansdowne adherents
insist the principles enumerated
are utterly opposed to the wilson
ian viewpoint, while supporters of
the mo knockout" idea declare it
is the essence of American presi-
dents policies.
Most of the press agreed with
Bonar Law today that publication
Of the letter was a national mis-
fortune.
Bonar Laws speech denouncing
Lansdowne's letter was promi-
nently displayed by all newspa-
pers, particular emphasis Is being
laid on the chancellor of the ex.
chequer's declaration:
1.-THE letter is based on an as
sumption--and a strange assump-
tion-that because the Germans
say they are ready to have a pact
of nations and to talk about dis
armament, therefore, peace is pos
sible.

The earth and sky were but shambes, fraugh
With gas and bursting shells and with the drench

Curriculum Changes

CURED, however, Jnere were weeks
Of lectures on military courtesy
which is term that covers every
everyday thing in a soldiers life.
Daily the men drilled for hours,
learning to march and to counter
march.
Rifles were issued and instruc-
ton in their care given.
Gradually, almost imperceptbly
the curriculum of work changed.
The hours of infantry drill were
reduced and in their stead came
hours of bayonet drill, hours of
tossing rocks that are shaped like
bombs, hours Of digging trenches
and studying the tricks Of the gas
mask.
French soldiers - past grand
masters at the gentle art of kill
ing ones fellow being by modern
methods, appeared at the camp
and later came English officers,
also war specialists.
They took their places with the
men at trench digging and with
the gas mask students and they
are teaching them the little
wrinkles that three years of war
have shown to be of value in saw
ing ones life and in getting the
life OF another.
Grim Determination
During the first period there
was enthusiasm among the men
in the camp.
For the most part they were at
Camp Lewis because they had per-
suaded their local boards to send
them first. They we're eager and
anxious to become soldiers.
During the second period there
was q noticeable dilution of en-
thusiasm and in substitution there
for came a grim determination
that for once and all settled the
doubts of the older regular off
GERS as to the temper of a drafted
army.
Then Just as gradually as the
course of study was changed, came
a subtle change in the disposition
Of the men.
The homesick ones forgot their
ailment and made new friends and
new associates.
Those who came unwillingly
were reconciled to the life and for
the most part found 1t not half as
bad as they had expected. =
Others who came with the full
flush of youthful enthusiasm
found their enthusiasm modified
by hard work.
All Soldiers Now
- In one brief sentence the
army leveled the men. Putting
the same kind of clothing on men
fed with the same food anj living
in the same houses seemed to
make them think and act the
same.
Slowly, the bank clerk became
a soldier and the soldier in the
next bunk forgot that once he
carried a hod. Then the third
period was we'll underway and the
persistent little idea In the back
of every mans brain began to take
form in words.
Where do we 60 from here?"
Headquarters Is silent.
The war department leaks
no hint Of the answer yet In
the barracks and in the Of.
ficers' quarters, In the stables
at the Remount Depot and the
garages Of the truck conf

Especial to The Times.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. L.
The old lady who spoke well of
everyone, and who called attention
to the DEVILS virtues OF patience
and persistency could also point
out some admirable traits of the
German spy propaganda in this
country.
The number OF canards set
afloat by word of mouth or put on
ticker WIRES in the past nine
months is past all counting. Some
of these stories have spread all
over the country; others have
been purely local.
Many of them show a high or
der of imagination and versatility.
Quite a few of them point to a
common source and deliberate
propagation.
The most cruel form of this I'M
|derhanded campaign is the calm &
up by phone of relatives of men
known to be in the army and navy
and telling them that their loved
ones have been slain. The navy
and war departments have been
kept busy reassuring victims of
this form of propaganda.
Ground for this work was laid
previously by widespread reports
of transport sinkings with great
loss of life.
Here are a few Of the German
canards circulated recently:
Secretary Tumulty arrest
ed as a German spy and Inn
prisoned at Fort ITeaven-
worth.

Camp Lewis today is In the
third phase of its existence.
There Is proof of that fact
i'm the idea that is formed In
the back of every officers
and every mans mind.
The idea finds expression
in the army slang-'Where
do we go from here.
When the first contingents ar
rived at camp the cantonment was
in its period of construction.
"Workmen fastened to finish
buildings and barracks and the
first five per cent of the draft
aided in the work Of making the
. camp ready for the bulk of the
men who came later.
Every man, during the first pc
riod, who showed ability at all
was made a on-commissioned Of
ficer.
Mobilization Second

the period of mobilization, it
might be called.
All night long down by the big
receiving shed the watch fires
burned and engines puffed and
grunted as they shifted special
trains to the spur track which
was the gateway to the army OF
democracy"
Thousands of men were coming
every day and these thousands had
to be QUILTED with clothing and
assigned to barracks. The con-
struction company's wOrkmen
completed their tasks and were
drafted into the army themselves
or left to seek other jobs.
The first period ended when
mobilization began and the mobi-
lization period drew to close
when John Smith who clerked in
a bank and Bill Jones, the bod
carrier, forgot their former posi-
tons in society and became accus-
toned to no side pockets in their
trousers and enameled table serv-
