shall make known the truth, tie whole
truth, fully, frankly and unreservedly.
In the observation of this duty the &C
cused has signally failed. Tie division
commander considers the sentence OF
the court to be extremely lenient and
but for the inexperience OF the &C.
cused it would have been set aside as
incommensurate with the gravity OF
his offense. The conduct of the &C
cused is considered to have been I'M
soldierly, deceitful and reprehenslble
and he is hereby reprimanded there
for. Second Lieut.. C. w. Lovelace,
Minneapolis, and Second Lieut.. G. F.
Dairy, from the same pla6e, were rep
rimanded by general court martial
board at Camp Dodge Tuesday, for
failure to attend lecture.

aged to cut away the screen on a
window of the guard house. They
then cut the electric light wires in or
der that the guards would be unable to
turn on any lights, and under cover OF
the darkness managed to cut the barb
ed wire of the stockade around the
guard house and make their getaway.

Many Men Are in Hospital
There are nearly 1000 men in the
hospitals at Camp Dodge and Fort Des
MONIES. This is not startling vixen it
is taken into account that sick men
have been accommodating since early
last fall. Thousands of men have been
sent to other camps and in each case
the sick were left behind and with the
accumulated Affections from all men
who have been received since and are
now at the camp it is not surprising
that the sick list is apparently large.
Pneumonia is still claiming its victims
but the number of new cases has been
materially reduced so that the autEori-
ties believe they have the matter well
in hand. The heavy snowfall Saturday
and Sunday eliminated the dust about
the cantonment and the officers at
the base hospital believe conditions
will now materially improve. Capt. c..
E. Laws, medical department., Three
Hundred Thirty-eighth field artillery,
at Camp Dodge, died Sunday morning
at the Methodist hospital in Des Moines
Of meningitis. Captain Laws was taken
i'll two weeks ago while in the city.
He cane to Camp Dodge last fall from
Tacoma, Wash. He was 40 years old
and was a second cousin of Brig. Gen.
Plummer Of Fort Sill, formerly in COM
mand at Camp Dodge.
Band Made a Hit.
The 350th Infantry band, from Camp
Dodge, which recently made a tour of
the state in the interest of the Liberty
Loan campaign, not only made hit,
but was SO we'll liked by the people in
the towns in which it played that they
raised in four days time a fund of
$1,705 to be used by the band as a
company fund. The idea of taking up
collection for a band fund came to
Frank Armstrong Of Des MONIES, who
had charge of the tour when it was
found necessary to replace a broken
drum head. The collection was started
in the town of Bedford Wednesday
and by Saturday night more than
$1,700 had been raised. People in all
the towns visited, when they learned
