In addition 10 these Ben Cloud,
who has been serving as reglmentaI
sergeant major Will be commissioned

Sergeant Major Walter II. Hecker OF
Mandan will succeed Cloud as regi-
mental sergeant major. VINO will be
named to ill the vacancies IN the
reglmental headquarters office force
has not yet been announced.
A war correspondent in Camp Mills
is in much the same position as a
bank Wrecker with a quarter OF d
million dollars safely hid, finds him
self when jailed. News to the right
rs 1nft Of
all around you, and all Of it CEN
sored.'
A wealth of information that would
be vitality interesting to the Germans
even if at the same time it might be
highly interesting to the folks back
home, as ever before the poor writer
but he must close his eyes, as far as
communicating the information is
concerned and content himself with
mere routine.
Suffice to say that the boys don't
like Camp Mills. 1t is the meanest
slOppiest, muckiest, nastiest, fog
giest and dirtiest camp in the world.
Since landing in Camp Mills the
164th, First North Dakota has en-
countered nothing but rain and fog.
The companies of the Second North
Dakota and the North Dakota boys
in the supply and sanitary trains
who have been here from two to
three weeks longer say that the
weather has been much the same
ever since their arrival.
None May Visit New York
Passes will not be issued to any
one to visit New York city, and Of
ficers are tied up in the camp with
the men, Orders have been sent out
from division headquarters to the
effect that no men of the "Sunset'
division can visit New York city
until all men are fully equipped. OF
course, they can go, to Hampstead or
Jamaica or F,reeport or other OF
these d.nky little Long Island vii
lagos, but there's no fun in that.
Take Hampstead as an example
Barber shops are a scarcity and
bathing facilities are not facilities.
The village fire hall sports two
shower baths and if fellow is lucky
and can get away from camp early
enough he can probably get under
one of those two hot showers within
an hour or so. Barber shops with
bathing facilities charge IS cents for
the hot water privileges and IS cents
is a lot of money to the boys in. the
ranks. =
