HOWARD KENT TELLS OF LIFE
AT CAMP MILLS, new, YORK

red hat-cords they shouted that they
would be up to our camp and take
them off every Idaho man. 1t was
the same bunch that our boys had
so much trouble with on the Mexi-
can border.
Well, it was two nights later that
the real excitement came. We could
hear the Alabamas making an awful
uproar in their camp. Suddenly one
of our boys came dashing in camp
without his hat or cord. The Ala
bamas had got it and had driven
him to camp. Some one shouted,
Idaho outside" and the men came
pouring from their tents. They were
armed with clubs, guns, axes or any
thing that would serve as a weapon.
Each man had a white rag tied
around his arm so as to distinguish
the Idaho fellows from any other
men. We started for the Alabama
camp but didn't get far. The ma
chine gun company had been too fast
for US. They had their guns lined
up across the road and threatened
to shoot any man that crossed from
either side. We then started for
the rear end of the camp but met
with a similar fate. 1t was far
past midnight before the mob quieted
down and it was a good thing they
were stopped for it would have meant
some badly bruised heads for some.
There is bound to be a riot between
the Idaho and Alabama men some
day if the Alabamas don't quit. All
have to say is that they had better
lay off the Idaho boys or some of
them will be hearing some slow
music.

REGISTRATE

WOMEN'S COMMITTEE OF IDAHO
NATIONAL DEFENCE LEAGUE
NOW AT WORK
OBJECTS OF The REGISTRATION
Government Wants Lists of Married
Women

Last Wednesday, Mrs. F. E. Muir
ray, chairman for Boundary county
of the Women's Committee of the
National Defense League, received
word that the registration drive
planned to start November 10Th has
been postponed as a particular effort
but that organization work should
be continued and registration could
proceed if it was so desired. Mr..
Hansen, secretary of the Council of
National Defence, Idaho division, is
expected to be in Boundary county
In the near future to assist Mrs
Murray in organization work.
The women's registration drive is
probably very similar to the program
which has been adopted by the gov
eminent in the registering of the
male inhabitants of the United
States except that with the women
of the country registration is to
be voluntary and no woman will be
asked to serve in any manner unless
they definitely offer their services.
Also, If a woman registers now and
later finds herself unable to serve
she will not be compelled to service
or will not be subjected to adverse
criticism. The cards which are to be
filled out by the women registering
specify what line of work the signer
has had special experience or train
ing in. The signer is asked to state
whether her services will be free to
the government and whether she
will go anywhere in the state OF
nation as she may be needed.
The objects of the organization
are as follow:
To give every woman an oppor-
tunity to offer to her country sucl
service as she is best fitted to rem
der; to interpret to the government
the possibilities of the women pow
er of the country; to furnish accu
rate information to the government
of the capacities in which women ar,
now serving, whether in their own
homes, or in paid pursuits, trades o.
professions; to have in every com
munity lists of women carefully elias
sified who are willing to be Gale,
upon for trained or unframed serv
ice to the state or nation; to ascer
tain which women are available TO
service outside the home, and whicl
are not; to list the women who wisl
to take training in order to Civ
more efficient service; to be able t.
: furnish women for salaried positions
whether in government service o
not; to be able to place women VIII
can volunteer their services in posi-
? tions of usefulness in many fields; t
have registry of the capacities an
training of the women of the countr
| as the basis of the work of the VIC
: mans committee of the Council 0
National Defense.

The Idaho troops are now located
at Camp Mills, New York. Howard
Kent, son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. ].

ing letter of his trip from Charlotte
to Camp Mills. The letter is dated
November 1 at Hampstead, New
York:
"My Dear Father:
81 received your letter and will
surely have to hand it to you when
it comes to giving the news. Keep
the good work up.
"Well, will try to tell you of
my trip here from Charlotte. We
left Camp Greene on October 21st
and arrived here October 25th. We
stopped in Washington, d. C. for
three hours and were fed by the
Red Cross. They served hot coffee
and cake to all and the coffee was
the best thing they could have pos
sibly given us for it was terribly
cold. A strong wind was blowing,
mixed with a drizzling rain. We
could see the capitol building from
the car windows.
"Our next stop in large city was
at Baltimore. At Philadelphia we
were again given coffee and cake
by the women of the Red Cross; also
cigarettes. We were all anxious to
see New York City and as we neared
it considerable excitement prevailed
among the men. The joy was taken
out of life when we entered the sub
way and rode % miles under the
most scenic part of New York. We
passed under the Hudson river and
the East river The subway is well
lighted and contains about ten tracks
When we emerged from the tube we
were in Brooklyn. We rode for two
hours through Brooklyn before COM

the camp one sharp-eyed youth sight

everyone trying to get their head out
of the same window. Aeroplanes
soon became a common sight fol
there is no limit to them here al

ATHENIAN SOCIETY WINS GAME
Score of Wednesday Night Basket
Ball Game Was 81 to l.

The opening basket ball game of
the season, played Wednesday night
at the high school gymnasium, be-
tween teams of the Athenian and
Olympian literary societies, was at
tended by a large crowd. The score
was 81 to l in favor of the Atheni-
ans. The members of the two teams
were drawn from those of the high
school boys who are trying for
place on the team which will repre-
sent the high school this season.
The rivalry which has always
characterized the basket ball games
in the city was in greater evidence
than ever before but the Olympians
were too badly handicapped by rea-
son of injuries to their best players.
The final score does not represent
the relative strength of the two
teams. Deane Norton, of the Athen-
ians, scored the greatest number of
points and made seven field baskets
and one free throw, a total of Is
points.
Following is the lineup:
Athenians Olympians
Gleed.. Forward H. Mcnamara
ID. Norton. Forward . Chisholm
Meyers Center ........... Charles
Luse-...-........... Guard ......... Wallace
Curran Guard. R. Norton, Dunning
Referee, ]. Arthur Bangs; score
and time keepers, Jack Mcnamara,

Most of the crowd remained for
the ENJOYABLE dance held after the
basket ball game. The proceeds
of the game have been turned over
to the newly organized high school
athletic association.
