The selective who thought when he
had got by the local examining board
that he was physically fit for the
army had a surprise in store for him
at Camp Dodge. He goes through an
test look like pastime. And the
surprising part of it all is that so few,
about 2 ~ per cent in fact fail to
get by the line Of doctors and special
lists sitting in judgment upon them.
Which proves that the manhood Of the
west ranks high with that of any
place on the globe.
Real drill and hard work are now
the regular order OF things among the
10000 or more recruits in camp here.
The saluting, the marching in squads,
and the other little necessities of a
military education are still being CIV
en-. Lut the advance work which is
more like real soldering is also Gu.
In the first place, 5000 rifles have
been received and apport:oned to the
men, SO many to company. Most cf
these are the old-type Kraags but
there are few enfields, the kind
now in use in Europe. The funda-
mental knowledge Of how to handle
the rifle can DE impaired with the
kraags. The rifle ranges are being
put in shape and soon the pop-por or
target practice will give Camp Dodge
an appearance of somewhere near
the front"
Cross-country hikes are also in or

these thousands Of men, in company

for walk of five miles. They go in
all directions, up hill and down hill,
in step, with head erect and shoulders

the Des Moines river valley,
The schedule now is 40 hours work

Dean Cowper will have concerts,

Every Sunday so far has had its
music.
In two or three weeks the camp
will have it's own theatre, with a ca
pacity of about 1000 seats. 1t is being
erected by the National Fairgrounds
association. In this theatre there
will he first class plays furnished by
well known national theatrical agen-
cy. The best talent in the country
will he brought to amuse and enter
tain the men.
Plans are now under way to have a
we'll known chautauqua circuit sho"
in camp for week. A huge tent will
be erected for the purpose. The lead
ing attractions of this circuit will
come here and give two shows week

1t is interesting to note the huge
quantities of food stuff required for
the 10000 or more men now in camp.
The estimate is 100000 pounds Of
fresh beef, 10000 pounds OF bacon,
$4,000 pounds = Of onions, 100000
pounds of flour and potatoes, butter,
syrup, coffee, rice, sugar, cts, in like

partment is to have q months sup

third months needs ordered.
The vastness of Camp Dodge cannot
be appreciated until it is seen. That
is the testimony Of we'll known
newspaper man who visited the camp
this week. He had followed the &C
counts of the cantonment closely
from the beginning. But when he STEP
ped out of the automobile at head
quarters, he simply stood in amaze
ment at the great row of buildings
that stretches up the Des Moines riv-
er valley as far as the eye can see.
A. recent estimate on the amount Of
lumber used in the construction work |
on the camp is placed at 35,0O0,O00
feet. A carload OF lumber is about |
10000 feet. The lumber therefore, if !
placed on cars all at one time would |
make 35 trains CT 80 cars each.
u ~
The average home has about 10000
feet of lumber in it's construction. 1t
would be possible therefore to take
the lumber used at Camp Dodge and
build a city of $500 houses. II
each house was built on a fifty foot
lot and on both sides Of the street, !
the street would stretch for a dis
lance of seventeen miles.

JUSTICE CLARK URGES
VOTES FOR WOMEN
Points Out Manner In Which BY Majority Vote In Leg
of Indiana, Women Won Presidential Suffrage.
Any State May Do Likewise.

In an address delivered recently be-
fore the Woman's Suffrage League Of
Greenville. Chief Justice Walter Clark,
or North Carolina. urged that the
Legislature of his State pass a bill
this winter comforting presidential
suffrage upon women.
Judge Clark said, in part:
In Illinois In the last election $780,
600 women went to the polls and
voted for President and a woman was
one OF those chosen as elector Yet,
In that State their constitution, like
ours, prescribes that only male per-
sons twenty-one years old can vote
What the Illinois Legislature did we
can do. Presidential suffrage is not a
matter in the State constitution. but
the Federal Constitution prescribes
that the electors for President shall
be chosen in such manner as the
Legislature thereof may direct In
all the States for fifty years the Legis-
latures elected the electors themselves,
and this was done by South Carolina
till after the war and by Colorado as
late as 1876.
when the women of Illinois per-
ceived that the influence of the LIQUOR
trusts and brewers was such that a
constitutional amendment to strike
out the word male in State elections
could not be adopted at the polls.
