coNScRIPTS At CAMP DODGE
ARE IGNORANT.

Des Moines, Nov. 19.-Many Of the
Alabama negro conscripts at Camp
Dodge don't know who the kaiser is
or why they are going to fight in
Europe.
Brought here from little southern
towns. where talk Of the great con-
flict has scarcely penetrated, they are
puzzled over the entire situation.
A number of the darkies have ad-
dressed commanding officers with the
earnest query: "Who is this man,
kaiser, hear so much about?"
When the dusky conscripts arrived
at the camp, one Of them said:
"Say. Boss, is we all gwine to tight
here?"
Another asked: do we all get
guns like the white boys or do we
have to fight with clubs?"
In the meantime, the boys are learn
ing fast, and in few months will be
able to give the kaiser man run for
his money, over in the European
trenches.
