Under the direction Of Captain
Churchman of the Division Headquar-

commendable progress and it is al
ready assured that Camp Hancock will
not be one whit behind the other camps

Liberty Loan bonds are an excellent
Investment for the soldiers and hum
dreds of them are just beginning to
realize it. One company alone has sub

gilt-edged security as the United States

At this writing, the total taken at
Camp Hancock is more than $780, 900

A CORPORAL VIEWS
INTENSIVE DRILLING

Ever so often "the Powers That Be"
in their infinite wisdom, decree some-
thing that must be carried out. At camp
Hancock these same powers have de-
creed p program of so-caIed "inten-
sive training To the civilian these two
words mean spending life in camp and
getting some pleasant exercise to make
one strong and fit for service but if you
want to know what 1t means to the SOL
der, ask any one of the 80 900 in the camp
but he'll take couple of hours to tell
it.
Work, as you probably have read. starts
in the early morn in the army. The men
go to it with a will and vim that is re-
markabe and a boastful manner is evil
dent when they tell of what they will
do when they set the pace in a drill or
short hike. The first hour usually puts
a damper on the ardor and vim of all
The first rest" is called when all men
think minutes are hours. but some of
the sturdier Sammies scorn to rest pre-
ferring to stand in the middle of the pa
rade ground and gossip. The drill is re-
sumed. and the pace begins to flag. The
sun adds a number of calories, or candle
power. or whatever it is that makes the
sun bite through q flannel shirt and re-
duce the Wearer to pulp.
Another short rest is given the men.
This time nfnety-nine and a half per
cent of them take advantage of it. This
halt is marked by the speed with which
everyone hastens to fling himself down
to rest the now weary limbs. The water
level in some of the mems canteens (many
men take their canteens along to drili)
is also appreciably lowered. while sun
dry feet begin to spread until they threat
en- to burst the shoes within which they
are encased,
At the command to Fall In" to re-
sumo the drill. backs and knees are found
to have stiffened, shoulders to have be-
come sore and feet to have grown ten
der and sore, all during ten minutes. The
pace now is much slower. At the next
rest the officers are surrounded by be-
seeching groups, who limp ostentatiously
crate wildly of shoe gals and blisters and
demand leave to fall out of line and be
excused from further drill that morning
The few lucky ones so favored limp out
of ranks followed by the gbes of the
rest who envy them immensely. 1t now
grows harder to step forward. Every
step gives the marcher a feeling that
somebody is trying to hold his feet back
and the sun sends new battalions into
the charge; indeed some tagged drillers
swear they can see two suns dancing in
the heavens. The noon halt affords
brief respite, but the afternoon is a re-
petition of the morning, intensified.

MANY MEN DESERVING

Brigadier- General Price is authority
for the statement that number of
men have deserted. A batch Of nine
men who were absent without leave
was brought to the camp yesterday
having been apprehended in a nearby
town. These men will face a general
courtmartial and will he deemed guilty
Of deserving unless they can prove
their innocence. Many soldiers fail to
realize the severe penalty attached 10
desertion in war time and it is certain
that those found guilty will be dealt
with in no uncertain measure.

sincere thanks for the sweater, which
you were SO good and kind to make

that I wasn't entirely forgotten, as

and when | don't get .letters and see
the other fellows get them why, of
course, / am apt to get blue.
Il can't express my thanks the way
,would like to, but if l can repay
YOUR kindness / will certainly be only
too glad to do so.
And I hope that if you have any
relatives in the service that they will
return safe and. sound.
Once more allow me to thank you
for your kindness, and l will certain
ly think Of you whenever wear the
sweater as it sure. keeps me nice and
warm.
Wishing. you the best of luck and
happiness, and hoping you are in the
best of health, 1 am,
Very respectfully,
PRV'T. JOHN HESS.
