5T was evening on the broad
ri Hampstead Plain, Long Island,
where the Rainbow division was
spending its last night before embark
ing for France. 1t had been raining
hard in the aiternoOn-a cold, steady
autumn downpour-and there was
nothing to suggest the rainbow in the
outward aspect OF the camp. Lines
and lines of sodden canvas housed
$1,000 men, gathered from q different
states The ground was dotted with
pools and quagmires. Under the wet
canvas it was damp and cold, with
penetrating chill. Lit by Pickering
candles, the tents were far from cheer
ful shelter for a mans last night in
his native land
But there were seven big tents
where electric lights, numbers and
fr!endliness made the night pleasant.

in which to spend the night. These
cars are operated by Englishwomen
of position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands OF the soldiers. The i'm

mated by the fact that at least $4,000

SOME CRATER
 THIS SOLDIER

ROME, June 29-A curious war fraud was recently made known through the condemnation of a caval ry officer to ten years imprisonment. In the early part of the war the of ficer was assigned to the duty of communicating saddles for cavalry use. He was instructed to take sad dies from civilian stables, but, of course, to pay a fair price for them. Instead of giving orders to pay on the department, he himself paid spot cash for saddles, usually one-tifth of their value. and himself collected the proper price from the depart ment, pocketing the difference.
