Mills Men Take Long Hike
SD Brigade Jaunts 10 Miles and
Comes Back Fresh

CAMP MILLS, Long Island, Oct. 16.
Early this morning the men Of the
s3d Brigade. Rainbow Division. started
off on the longest hike ever undertaken
by any members of the division. They
covered over ten miles along the South
Shore of Long Island, and came back
TO camp almost as fresh as when they
started.
Major Charles Green, Of the 15lst
Field Artillery. Of Minnesota. was taken
20 the Nassau Hospital to-day suffering
from pneumonia. His condition was
said not to be serious.
The campaign TO sell Liberty Loan
bonds has shown no signs OF abating.
and the total is certain to be many
times the amount the loan campaigners
first set out to get.
Two of the most conspicuous figures
in the Rainbow Division are Jake Nc
Coy, member Of the Virginia Military
Police. who is n member Of the famous
Mccoy family of feudists. and a camp
mate of his who was related to the
Allen family. another famed feudal
name in the Virginia hills. They are
among the best OF the sharpshooters.

men to the appeal Of the Liberty Loan
committees had upset all the calcula-
tions of the Germans.
1.-THE Germans sneered at the idea OF
an American selected army when they
first heard of it." he said. They
claimed the young men Of this country
were 10 unpatriotic and too undlscl-
plined. and that they would never put
their hearts into their work, but the
response OF the selected men 10 the
appeal Of the Liberty Loan committees
has upset all these calculations.

Time after time mechanics have an
swered such calls with the statement
that they wanted to remain with their
companies and to go into the trenches.
It has been the policy of the War
Department up 10 this time to fill the
service companies and battalions with
volunteers as far as possible. This
practice probably will be continued,
and men will be ordered out of the
lighting units and into the vitality nee

Fort Myer Students to Face
Line of Opposing Trenches

WASHINGTON, Oct t6-Six hun
dred student officers spent their second
day in the trenches, just beyond the
reserve officers training camp at Fort
Myer, Va, to-day. The trenches, con-
structed on the most modern lines,
stretch about one-thrd of mile at the
brink of hill.
At the foot of the hill the men have
built barbed wire entanRlements. 1t is
the purpose of the regular army Of
ficers in command 20 have an opposing
line of trenches built on the hill just
opposite to the present trenches. When
this is done it VIII give the men more

CAMP UPTON, Long Island, Oct 10
How many Of the men pf the nth
Division were really ready and anxious
TO follow when Uncle Sam reached his
long arm into New York City and be
gan tapping them on the shoulder IS
question that in the nature OF things
can never be accurately answered.
|. is true that, almost without ex-
ception, these late New Workers have
taken kindly to camp life and the pros
pect of trench life. There have been
apparent no surface evidences Of dis
content or of shrinking back from the
patriotic duty which has been made
lava happy fact to which the under
standing and tact Of the officers, good
food, bracing air and good new friends
waiting to be met up with every new
day have all contributed in part.
But there has been another question,
running along with the first in the
minds of those higher officers who are
as vitality interested in the upbuildng
Of morale as in the routine of military
training, to which in time an answer
was bound to come.
Men Are Satisfied
Have the men of the division merely
been making the best of it, or have
they become satisfed-better than sat
isfed with their lot?
OF course. great number Of men
have been discharged by reason Of
physical disability. although passed as
fit by the local boards. Some returned
to civilian life with a show of re-
luctance. One or two wept, and made
no bones about it, Others seemed
downright cheerful. The way they
took il made no difference, was no in
dication Of the general spirit. They
had no choice in the matter once their
discharge papers had been made out.
They had TO so back.
Lets see,' they said upon head
quarters hill, "what happens when
man has his own say whether he goes
or stays. Then we'll know something.
SO the case of Frank Melich, one
time expert electrician with the Will

CAMP WADSWORTH, 8. c., Oct. l6.
An investigation is now under way
in the 1O5th Regiment OF heId ar''l-
lery. formerly the I'd, regarding the
olIoced heating Of Otto Gottschalk, a
private Of d Battery, The Bronx. Grave
charges have been made against Cap

vision. 1t is possible that General
Phillips will order an immediate court
martial to hear the case.
The story of Private Gottschalk be-
came generally known tonight. AS
it is understood here, his mistreatment
occurred last Saturday night, and grew
out of his violation of a sanitary reg
ulation. Gottschalk, according to the
story, was in his tent when an officer
accompanied by four soldiers appeared
at the entrance. Pointing 10 Gottschalk
the officer shouted: Here's a man that
needs spanking
Gottschalk. it is said in the charges,
was instantly seized by the soldiers
and dragged half dressed, from ms
tent TO a ditch known to the camp as
the River Shannon" through which u
sluggish stream flows. Despite his
struggles, ne was thrown into the ditch
and dragged about in the almost stag
nant water. He was forced to drink
o. the ditch water, after which the SOL
diers were ordered to take him TO the
shower baths.
Placed Under Shower Baths
At the showers he was divested of
what little clothing he wore, It Is
charged, and held under the streams
Of water. Stf bristled brushes were
procured, and he was scrubbed until
he cried for mercy. Following the
scrubbing, his captors are alleged 10
have procured switches, with which
they beat him until his cries could be
heard for a considerable distance. In
his efforts 70 ward off the blows rained
upon him GOttsohalk's wrists and fore
arms were severely bruised. Then, half
conscious. ne was ordered 90 his
tent. Since then he has been confined
to his cot during the greater portion
Of the time.

The American Flag has been
flying from the hagpole on the
roof of the Hotel Belleclaire day
and night since 1914.
That was the year when the
present owner became the gen
eral manager Of the hotel. and
when the worlds greatest war
began.
The then manager felt that
perhaps America would be
drawn into the war and he want
ed the American Flag TO fly over
the hotel as a constant reminder
10 people who move up and
down Broadway to think of their
country's flag and what it stands
for.
The owner Of the hotel as d
young lad visited a great many
Of the countries of the world and
the most welcome sight to him
in any port was the American
flag, and he always thanked God
that he lived in a country where
there was freedom and oppor-
tunity for all.
Every guest of the Belleclaire,
permanent or transient, has had
opportunity for three consecutive
years to see the flag on top of the
hotel. at the head of the menu
card and in the main Offices.
- They have been constantly ad-
vised during all of this time to
reverence the flag and to keep
their patriotism up to high pitch.
And when the Government
called FOR subscriptions to Liberty
Bonds, offering the great re-
sources Of America as security
therefor. everybody visiting the
hotel has been asked to buy
these bonds.
Employees in the hotel were
asked to subscribe to the first
issue and they are being asked
now to subscribe to the second
issue. The proprietor has helped
them to meet their payments reg
ularly when it was announcement
for them to pay right on the
minute.
All of us, guests, workers, man
ayers and proprietor, are taking
all of the bonds that we can af-
ford to buy and we are glad to
do so.
This is notice TO everybody
who knows of the Belleclaire
that we who live here will like
them 1909 better if they will
subscribe for Liberty Bonds, and
then when they come to see us
we will give them an extra help
ing Of the mighty good food
home cooked-that the Belle
claire serves its patrons.
We believe that Liberty Bonds
will end the war.

EXPERT RIFLEMEN

Washington, Jan. 22.-Declara-

the U. S. Marines. These officers re-
Gently compiled data showing that
splendid shooting qualities are still
characteristic Of American troops.
More than seventy-three per cent
of the GAL members Of the United
States Marine Corps who fired dur
ing 1916, on the fourteen Marine
Corps rifle ranges, are qualified
skilled riflemen, according to the
table just compiled. Of these sea-
soldiers, 921, or fifteen per cent,
are expert riflemen; 1044, or seven
teen per cent, are sharpshooters;
and 251S, or forty-one per cent, are
marksmen..
1t is doubtful if Leatherstocking
himself could outshoot them, say
the Marines.

cHARIVARI PARTY

About nine o'clock Saturday
evening the quiet and normally
peaceful conditions of North FEEDER
al Avenue were shattered into a
million atoms of discordant sound
waves as a result of visit by a
charivari party which was planned
and carried out by friends and
neighbors of the popular newly
weds, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Kurzweg.
After the noisy salute, Mr.. and Mrs.
Kurzweg so far forgave the dis
turbers that they invited them into
their beautiful cottage home and
heaped Goals of fire upon their
heads by showering upon them
fruit punch divine and cakes deli
cious. The bride and groom were
toasted and other members of the
party were roasted, and music, wit
and laughter blended delightfully."-
during the short hour the host and
hostess entertained their unlimited
guests. To show their further ap-
probation of the entertainment
supplied them, the charivari party
gave a parting salute upon their
various sound-producers and with
renewed expressions of congratula-
ton and best wishes, disbanded.
Mr.. Kurzweg, who recently we'd
ed Miss Mary Louise Geneaux of
Jeanerette, is manager of the St.
Mary Wholesale Grocery Company
of this city, His exceptional ability
as business man has gone far to-
ward making his company probably
one of the largest dividend-paying
concerns in South Louisiana. Mrs.
Kurzweg is in every way fitted to
fill the important social position
which awaits her in Morgan City.
The young couple were married on
January tenth at Jeanerette and
came directly here to occupy the
cottage on Federal Avenue recently
purchased and elegantly furnished
by Mr.. Kurzweg.

TO TAX CARS

Serves us right for calling them pleasure cars,'" exclaimed H. Jack son, sales manager of the Rec, when he first heard of the proposition to tax automobiles 5 per cent for the war fund.
 "We cannot blame the Salons at Washington if they consider automo- piles an unnecessary luxury when we consistently refer to roadsters, tour ing cars, business mems coupes, etc., as pleasure cars.'
 "We have had it in mind for long time to change this foolish nomen- clature in Rec advertisements but it is difficult for one person or one con- cern to eradicate a deep-seated error.
 "If the telephone is necessity; if electric lights are not a needless ex- travagance; if sewing machines are not merely recreation for the tired mother-then certainly automobiles are absolutely indispensable in this work-a-day world.
 "In perhaps per cent of cases the automobile might properly be refer red to as pleasure car.' In still larger percentage of cases the tele- phone could legitimately be so-called!
 "When the people generally come to accept the fact that the automobile is necessity and is one of the great est aids to modern business efficiency, then there will be no more thought of putting an extra tax on it than there is of taxing carriages and farm wa gons.
 "Time was, you know, when they put an extra tax on sunlight-in Eng land they used to tax the house ac- cording to the number of windows that were in it. Gradually they came to realize that sunlight was a necessi- ty to health.
 "Just because the automobile does contribute so much pleasure to life, even when used in a purely business way, we have all gotten in the habit of referring to them as pleasure cars.'
 Tt is time we cut it out"

ELKS FLAG DAY JUNE 14TH

Dr. E. S. Miller, secretary of the local Elks stated yesterday that June 14th will be observed as Flag Day by all of the Elk Lodges in the country and that special program is being arranged to which the public is in- vited.
 Dr. Miller declared that there has been no Flag Day in our history so significant as this next one will be.
 Our Flag and the principles for which it stands are now assailed by the mighty forces of autocracy. Let us show in this crucial year that we are heart and soul for that Flag and that there is no price too high to pay to keep it floating in the sky. Let it fly on Flag Day from our public buildings, our school-houses, our places of business, and our homes. Let us all-men, women and children wear a small Flag in honor of the day.
