CAMP CENSORSHIP
GROWS MORE RIGID.
KODAK AND DIARIES COME
UNDER BAN OF FEDERAL
REGULATION

INTEREST ON DEBTS OWED BY
SOLDIERS HELD UP UNTIL
WAR CLOSES
In spite of Wintry weather every
effort is being put forward to make
seasoned soldiers out Of the men at
Camp Dodge. The rife and artillery
practice have given fresh impetus to
Warlike activities and the men are de-
voting their best energies to the work
in hand. The mid-week half-holiday
has been withdrawn by order of Cen
5eral Getty and now Saturday after
Moons and Sunday afford the only
time that leaves Of absence for down
town are granted except for special
occasions. The officers have also been
given additional duties and hereafter
they must report at o'clock in the
morning. For those who room in the
city this is IAN early call and requires
the leaving Of the city at o'clock.
That means crawling outJ Of bed at s
o'clock. The officers training school
is busy adjunct to the activities Of
the camp and while the work is siren
uous the men are taking hold of it with
enthusiasm. When the number of men
at Camp Dodge is taken into account
the percent Of sickness per thousand
is very small. The cold weather did
not produce the discomforting con-
ditions that were predicted when the
barracks were constructed. The men
are profuse in their praise Of the COM
Portable condition of the quarters.
Is. No More kodaks
The rules are being drawn a little
more strict with each passing day.
The hundreds of kodaks are idle hence
forth. It was quite tie proper thing
s. 10 pose for "a picture upon the slightest
provocation at first but now the order
has been issued that only official photog-
raphers with permits will be allowed
to take pictures. This rule suppresses
the kodaks carried by visitors as well
as those in possession of soldiers. An
other rule is that no daily records are
to be kept by the men. The allied
armies in France have received much
information by perusing diaries taken
from German prisoners or from the
pockets Of the dead. It is to prevent
information falling into the hands Of the
Germans that this order is being rigid
~ enforced, therefore the men who
come in the next increment will profit
by the experience Of those now here
and leave kodaks and diaries at home
"A careful watch is placed over tele-
grams sent and received by officers.
They must be sealed when handed to
the messengers and must be received
in the same manner upon delivery. An
official seal very quickly shows whether
or not there has been any tampering
with the dispatch. All persons are
warned that the civil laws as well as
military edicts prescribe heavy penalties
to any one who gives out the contents
of any message to persons not entitled
to them. Every precaution is taken to
thwart the activity of spies if such
should be present.
Another Fake Hero Exposed.
The people of the midwest have not
forgotten an impostor who claimed to
be one Of the few survivors Of the
famous 6 Princess Patricia regiment Of
Canada, who lectured all over the
country under the assumed name Of
Breckenridge. Well, his counterpart
landed at Camp Dodge a few days ago.
Glenn Tremain Cummings is the name
of the fellow. He created sensation
IN various towns and cities in Illinois
lin his talks before various organiiza-
tions on his experiences as member
Of the British flying corps, claiming
to have been three times wounded in
engagements with the enemy. He gave
some thrilling experiences with the air
squadron and told in the minutest
detail Of bringing down some of the
crack bird-men Of the German army.
His deception was finally exposed and
his downfall was more realistic than some
of his alleged achievements in bringing
] to the earth German aircraft. Speaking
after the manner Of the street Cumming
was flying high until exposure overlook
4 him, After his arrest Cummings con.
fessed that he had never been in The
