Plattsburghers in
Thrilling Battle

PLATTSBURG, n. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
big sham battle to which the student
officers have been looking forward was
fought tonight.
Every detail that could be introduced
to simulate real warfare was employed.
The battle consisted of an attack on a
front line trench and its defence. A
barrage of cannon crackers. the rata
tat of machine guns loaded with blanks.
signal rockets and smoke pots which
took the place OF gas bombs all lent
thrilling realism.
The finale was a charge across "No
Mans Land" and the capture of the
trench and its defenders.
The battle began at $3.50 and con-
tinued for two hours. No effort had
been made to smooth the path of either
the attackers or defenders, and the
presence of hospital unit with each
company and a surgeon at base hos
pital established back Of the two con-
tending lines was a providential thing,
though the injuries they were called
on to dress consisted of nothing worse
than turned ankles and bruises.

According to Secretary of War Baker,
the only lack Of any form of warm

for whom there were not overcoats.
The lack of overcoats," he SAID, is
partially responsible for the delay IN

every man who has been called into

The result Of all these sanitary meas

was 90 per cent, in Western camp
the lowest per cent, in Guard camp

to care for a limited number OF the
sick men in camp. Their work is sup
plemented in every camp by eitner
new base hospital or the existiny
army post, as at Fort Sam Houston
Texas and at Fort Riley, Kansas.
The new base hospitals are usually
equipped with 500 beds, though IN
some cases they have been built to
accommodate twice that number. IN
several camps delay in the completion
of the base hospitals necessltated car
ing for sick men temporarily in bar
racks. This was true at Camp Dodge,
Des Moines, Iowa.
Other camps. including Camp Sher-
man, Chillicothe. Ohio, reported a

have been sufficient Accommodations TO
