Germans in the opposite trenches
That makes good soldiers, the kind
that Camp Lewis is noted for. It
Is said that If the fact is drilled in
to the soldiers here that there are
no men in those trenches across
mo Mans Land" who will kill them
if they so much as show their head
they are not going to do it. If that
is sufficiently impressed upon them
it becomes second nature to be
cautious, and that is what the mill
tary authorities want for the big
word in the army is success in
whatever is undertaken.
The middle west soldiers received
their third shot in the arm" last
Wednesday. Some of them are now
recovering. Every one wants TO
know where do we go from here,
boys?" Just across the parade
grounds, it is a known fact that
companies are about ready to leave
and some wonder If they will be
fortunate enough to get into some
Of these companies, or whether
further training will be given them
in this cantonment. Six men In the
depot brigade, who came to the
camp about a year ago, were trans
ferred Wednesday afternoon. 1t was
a long, long time. but they finally go
across the parade grounds. .-..
There has been a general warn
ing of the weather and 1t is now
more like the warm days Of summer
on the prairies Of North Dakota and
Minnesota, only there is a cool
breeze always stirring from the
ocean and snow capped mountains
Mail service is excellent and most OF
the boys have received a letter from
home. many letters coming from
Pine City and Center City, Mime
sofa. Just to show how Uncle sam
gives service, 1T might be stated that
Steve German Of Fargo, a member
of the last draft contingent, receiv-
ed q, letter from a Fargo friend
who simply gave his name and the
name of the camp. The postofflce
boys looked the matter up and Steve
got his letter, delivered to the 32nd
company, eighth battalion, l60th
depot brigade. The service might
have been a little slow, but the let
ter reached it's destination under the
conditions.
Military Horse Show.
The most spectacular program
ever staged at Camp Lewis TOOK
place on June 16, the big military
horse show. Great interest was al
tached to the ambulance company
maneuvers as well as those OF the
machine gun, artillery, military po-
lice and band. The whole program
was designed to show the relation
of animal equipment to modern
warfare. -,

on June is.

OF the lake shore district in north
eastern Minnesota The entrance
runs into the gang way at an angle
Of about rs degrees for distances
varying from 90 to- so feet. Once
at the end Of the shaft, it opens into
the gang way" and here, by the
flickering light OF the candle, can
be seen the two rows OF wooden
hunks where the men who are Off
duty in the trenches just ahead can
sleep free from danger and in COM
parative quiet. Both the roof and
sides are heavily tin1bered. The inn
nsense underground Bedroom is
probably 90 feet long by II feet
wide, requiring the excavation OF
dirt for months. Men have been
digging trenches at Camp Lewis for
more than so days. They are dug
out at the expense Of a. lot Of hard
trouble and encouragement
At another point IN the canton
ment, the boys saw listening posts"
| places where two men silently keep
the vigil on "No Mans Land" and
watch for every move that the en-
| envy might make in an attempted
advance. Running far forward Of
| the line of trenches, they afford ex-
cellent places where keen-eyed
rinemen can watch and harass the
Hun with bullets. The outer en-
| frances to these listening posts"
| are carefully camouflaged, so that
to the one seeking them through
powerful field glasses, nothing out
of the ordinary appears. A worn
out boot may effectively conceal the
opening, and other means Of keep
ing snipers' retreat from the sight OF
the enemy are used. It Is not hard,
mentally, to place the setting in
FLANDERS. AS soon as one enters the
district in the vicinity of the
trenches he sort of feels or tmagines
death to be near at hand. It is the
same feeling which he experiences
when he Is given his rifle and again
when the gas-masks are handed out
| to the soldiers.
Sincere and Serious.
The soldiers who are taken to the
trenches are all sincere and serious
in their work and dig into 1t just

,hayonet was shown and explained
and as the thousands OF privates
from the middle west returned to
their barracks at the noon hour
they saw an equal number OF men
training with the bayonet; others
were getting on to the task OF APP
plying the gas-nask Tonight, the
North Dakotans and the Minneso-
tans feel more like soldiers for they
have received their guns and re-
ceived the first lesson as to their
use.
Not satisfied with the lessons OBJ
tanned from the officers and the nom
commissioned officers during the
drills and the practices OF the week,
q large number Of middle west SOL
diers went on a hike" last Sunday
afternoon and explored some Of the
interesting places in the greatest
military camp OF the United States
particularly the deep trenches,
which are patterned after those
in the European theater OF war.
Forty and fifty feet below the sur
face OF the earth, soldiers at Camp
Lewis are learning how to con-
struct bomb poof dugouts and there
are now q number OF these subter-
ranean passages just back, Of the
first line Of the division trenches.
Sinking q Shaft.
The system followed in digging q
trench appears to be like that in
sinking a shaft. There is geat diff
ference in the system OF trench con-
struction in these days compared
with that when the country was al
war with Spain, or even in the late
punitive" expedition to the south
which took many North Dakotans
and Minnesotans TO the border two
years ago this summer. The middle
west boys, on their hike last Sun
day, learned that the soldiers in the
modern days of trench warfare live
underground, many feet from the
bursting shells, but close enough tc
be ready at a moments notice to
repel an attack Of the enemy.
The western soldiers learned that
the entrance is much like that of a
mine shaft, similar to the Ignite
coal fields in the vicinity Of Wash

RELIEF BUREAU
LOCATES YANKS
GETTING NO MAIL
of Great Importance That
Soldiers In France Get
sa Letters

The Northern division bureau Of
military relief has been making fine
progress in locating soldiers in the
service who are receiving no letters
from home.
People returning from France
speak most feelingly on the i'm
portance OF this subject and say that
home news or lack Of 1t will make
or break a man. Captain Richardes,
of the Canadian army, spoke prin
cipany on this subject in his adj
dress to the Northern division re-
Gently. He remarked that If he were
in command of a battalion about to
go into an offensive, he would hold
back all cheerful home news until
the day Of the attack. He declared
that home news OF the right sort
works miracles, especially among
the "lonesomes."
Northern division chapters have
been sent a supply of post cards to
send to their men in the service.
These cards are addressed to the
bureau OF military relief Minnea-
polls, Mimi, and the soldier is re-
quested to I'LL in the names, unit
addresses and home addresses Of
certain comrades who are apparent
ly not hearing from home. When a
card is received at Minneapolis, the
name and unit address Is sent, to-
gether with a letter, to the Red
Cross chapter Of the boys home
town, regardless Of what part OF the
United States from which he may
come.
The letter explains the necessity
OF our men hearing from home and
suggests their finding some patriotic
friend or schooImate who will pledge
weekly letter to the man. The
majority of these requests meet
with splendid responses and our
<qonesomes" abroad are rapidly
finding hackers" at home, but oc-
casional names have been received
without home addresses.
Post cards will be furnished the
chapters Of Minnesota, Montana
North and South Dakota, upon re-
quest received at the Northern
division ONCE. l

orders from Washington regarding the

conduct his present negotiations here
concerning the transfer of American
and German prisoners to a satisfactory
