Arrangements have been made tenn

section of the camp where they will
be In touch with men called from
their own neighborhoods. This ar
rangement will be broken up later
when the men are fitted to the various
branches OF service according to their
physical qualifications. These assign

new SOLDIERS
TAKE UP LIFE IN CANTONMENTS
AND GET FINAL EXAM
NATIONS.

Washington. ID. c.. Sept. 8.-With
the first 34,350 draft rockies in or
nearing the country's 16 cantonment
camps today, the task of making
them over into fighting men began.
The first thing every recruit did
on reaching camp was to take a bath.
From the bath houses, one by one
the boys were taken before medical
examiners of the regular army.
AS a result of this final and most
rigid physical test, many of the boys
who closed the door on civilian life
and left lonely mothers, wives or
sweethearts inside less than SO hours
ago will be back home tomorrow,
maybe tonight.
Those who pass the physical test
will be vaccinated for typhoid, para
typhoid and smallpox. Recommend
atoms will then be made to company
commanders for special exercises for
each individual to correct any slight
physical defect.
The first two weeks of training
will be occupied almost entirely with
these special exercises. light setting
up drills and physical schooling OF
the young soldiers-to-be.
During the second two weeks reg
ular training will begin. The rigor-
Gus work will be increased gradually
The division surgeon and his assist
ants will keep a watchful eye on the
general physical condition OF all the
men.
Thorough instruction in personal
hygiene, sanitation and first aid will
be given them during the first two
weeks.
AS they arrived at c~antonments to-
day, the men were assigned TO sec
| lions OF the camp reserved for re
cruits from their own local section
OF the divisional area for which each
cantonment Is established. In other
words, the men who know each other
and who come from the same states
will be put together.
AS other shipments arrive Septem-
Der 10, and later, the same rule will
be followed, so that when the entire
first draft OF 6S7 900 men are final
ly In camp they will all be among
fellows they know.
AS soon as all the men are in camT
however. those from the same town
will be separated. though they viii
remain in the same sectional division
for the general part of the country
from which they come.
This will be brought about by the
segregation OF men by occupation
According to what their previous oc'
equations have been they will be
transferred to different branches oi
the service, such rs artillery, ma
chine gun. infantry.
Thus will the regimental and bat.
talon organizations be kept intact
| though shifting the makeup OF the
companies to get all the men of sim
liar bent together.

make the Germans feel the full
weight OF her military power.
Those Of us who have fully stud
led the situation and who know what
is necessary to be DONE" said Gen.
Pershing, "are anxious that the peo-
pie at home shall strive to realize the
immensely Of the task In which we
are engaged and shall, through pa
thence and confidence. help us to ac-
complish that task In the shortest
possible time. Everything Is going
