Ran II Miles.
Simply to show the people of the
north what southerner can do when
he wants to test his enduring powers
Sam Cox, soldier at Camp Dodge,
made cross country run of II
miles without single stop. Young
Cox, who was student athlete at the
University Of Louisiana, started on the
run to the camp at-2:O5 and reached his
destination at 4:2O, covering the distance
in 2 hours and Is minutes. He wants
to get into the aviation service. He
enlisted in the regular army at Memphis,
Tenn. last June. He is member OF
the medical department of The Three
Hundred and Thirty-eighth field artil-
lery.
Name AVIATION POdIos
A board of medical examiners has been
appointed at Camp Dodge to examine
men who wish to enter the aviation
service of the signal corps. This will
do away with the former practice of
having enlisted men go to Omaha for
the examinations. The board consists
of Maj. H. C. Todd, Capt. John H.
Peck and Lieut.. Frank B. Lust.
Bayonet Drills Have Started.
The trenches being dug west of the
camp site are nearing completion and
classes will be held in the trenches with
conditions as nearly like those on the
western front in Europe as is possible.
Instead of using regulation steel bayonets
and rifles, the combatants will use
strongly made wooden guns, the exact
length of rifle, with bayonet affixed.
A tennis ball is fastened upon the point
of the bayonet that no injury may re-
suit The combatants are instructed
to withhold no energy and to strike with
vim similar to that which they expect
to use with real weapons in the trenches.
For some time the classes will be re-
stricted to officers of the rank of captain
or higher. AS the instruction of these
men is completed they in turn will in
struct ieutenants and the enlisted men.
Home for the Holidays.
Passes good for four days are to be
issued to the men who desire to 60 home
for a short holiday visit. One-half of
the men are to get passes for Christmas
and the other half for New Years. 1t
is argued that passes are more attractive
than furloughs.
Artillery Practice Is Soon to Begin.
The artillery range is being placed
in order as fast as possible. Farmers
are moving from their homes that no
danger may result from the heavy
practice A number of guns have been
received. The sizes of the guns assigned
are, Iowa, 339th, six inch howitzers;
Minnesota, 337th, Al inch; and North
Dakota, 339th, with inch guns The
313th mortar battery commanded by
Captain Doland Stewart, St. Cloud,
Mimi, will also use the range. Wooden
models have been prepared by the men
for actual firing practice, SO that when
active artillery practice begins, the gun
will not be a new thing.
