IDAHO OFFICERS
READY TO SERVE
LIEUT.. DONALD YATES VISITS
HOME ON HIS WAY TO AMER
ICAN LAKE

Most of the fellows from Idaho who
were given commissions in the national
army viii report at Camp Lewis, Amer
lean Lake. Wash. There will be at
least two divisions or 10000 men there
so the chances are that Idaho officers
will be pretty widely scattered when
they are assigned their regiments.
The men that are to make the army
their profession after the war have
been given their regiments already.
Homer s. Youngs is a first lieutenant
in the 10th Infantry. T. S. Morrison,
MiNon Emmett, Charles Owens, Jack
Adams and Robert Burns are all pro-
visional second lieutenants in either
the 18th, SD or 63d infantries.
Donald Yates, who has been visiting
with his parents before going to Amer
lean Lake next Monday, says that ev-
en- if Idaho hasn't the largest per-
centage of officers in the army it has
very creditable showing. There are
six Idaho men in the regular army.
The rest will merely serve as long as
the war lasts.
