the registration card, then you will
move on to more officers, through
another door into a mess room, where
every table is the head of regiment
or special auxiliary unit. Guides will
glance at the notation stamped on
one side of each card and the bearer
will be pointed out to the proper
table. At these tables officers of the
different regiments and special organi-
zationsg take up the stamped cards.
From lists Of counties before them,
you will find out to what battalion in
their regiment you will be assigned.
A quick penciled notation, hasty
jotting down of your name, an order
and you will be "on your way" again
in charge of another officer, who will
take you in groups to the battalion
barracks, turning you over to a bat
talon commander, who will take the
last step in checking you into the Ma
tional Army, by assigning you to
your company. In most comp anies
the companies are organized by To-
calities, counties being grouped to-
gether to furnish enough men to fill
the ranks of each unit just as the
quotas of adjacent counties were adj
ded together and the combined quota
was large enough to fill a regiment
and these grouped counties set aside
as regimental area.
IT'S a sight to see them coming
from all over the land clad in every
conceivable pattern of clothes, but
they all walk and stand like real men
and their physical condition is ex-
ceptionally high. These drafted men,
facing a new life, fraught with un-
certainty and probable danger and
suffering, breaking away from bone
and from all old associations and
habits, come without sullenness or ap-
parent unwillingness. And more is SC

Is not impossible that the next in
crement will be sent to Deming, N. NJ.

Other notes of interest at the camp
the past week. About $4,000 of US
marched out to the rifle range Friday
east of Camp Dodge. There are at
least $50 acres of level ground and
when we came over the hill to go
down onto the plain we viewed vast
army of men already drilling below.
Long winrows of soldiers, performing
physical exercise and formations of
preciseness, their every bend and
men rushing here and there with
turn making a different shadow in
the sunlight, thrilled us to the quick.
Friday afternoon we had a foot ex-
animation. Twelve carloads of horses
and 200 wagons were received here
the last of the week. Tomorrow, Sun
day, over 100 in our company are
billed for the second "shot" in the
