nightly at some of the "Y' bungalows.
Interregimental and intercompany

MAKES IT'S OWN WEAPONS.
Infantry School of Arms Turns Out
Guns and Mortars.

One of the interesting activities of
the infantry school of arms these win
ter days is the manufacture of machine
guns and trench mortars from wood.
These weapons will not of course,
shoot but they will serve in many ways
for drilling and instruction. The men
who specialize in handling these guns
have to be taught how to make every
move in just certain way. A bit of
lumber serves the purpose well enough
up to the time of firing. Cypress and
yellow pine are being used. A force of
thirty-five or forty carpenters from the
ranks of the army do this work, under
the direction of an expert pattern
maker.
The school has kept up its work with
the Stokes trench mortar. Some fine
shooting has resulted from the constant
drilling and target practice. What is
being given now is normal course of
instruction to men who will later in
struct others.

A few nights ago Sergt. >McGinity had
the big wireless plant at Camp Meade
tuned up for long distance action. He
first raised Tampa, Fla. and then, after
some Marconi maneuvering, got into
touch with station on the Eiffel tower
in Paris. With advantageous condi-
lions and everything working nicely. he
tried to go bit farther and got away
with it.
He "eavesdropped" on an aerial con-
versation between the great German
wireless station at Neuen, Germany, and
another plant of the kaiser's. What
the Neuen station was saying to the
other German plant McGinity does not
know. Apparently the message was in
code, but McGinity is sure that it was
a military order. He says if some one
will please furnish him with copy
of the kaiser's wireless code he may
be able to obtain some more or less
valuable military information.

''AB" WE|NTRAUB IS
OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER
Was in Selective Draft at Camp
Meade, But Now "Snaps"
for I. N. S.

Do you know the man who has under
taken the task of "mugging'' every man
in the Liberty Division? The reply to
this question is invariably YES" when
the question is asked within the con-
fines of this big war mill.
Most soldiers know CAB" Weintraub,
who has been given the sobriquet OF the
demon photographer" but they may
not be familiar with little sidelight
on the activities of this camera artist
.Weintraub is, first, last and always,
a newspaper photographer. II he were
in vaudeville, a press agent would no
doubt refer to him as the man who has
snapped" long list of Presidents, in
Gliding our present commander in chief.
Furthermore, Weintrauo, rays claim 10
having photographed nearly every i'm
portant character in the recent activi-
ties of our country, not to mention the
foreign notables that have visited our
shores during the past ten years.
He served many years as a Phila-
delphia and New York newspaper cam
era man and with the International
News Service, to which ne is now at
tached. Ear

His duty here is giving Photographic
publicity to the Liberty Division. The
company pictures, the scenes Of activity
and progress of the men which he

half dozen big cameras, including cir
cular or panoramic kodak that works on

traub makes his daily visit to the can

Each day the most recent "doingS' are

sent to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash

In addition to this, he is compiling an
album of company pictures, listed in regi-
mental groups. At the present time he
has completed his work with about four
regiments Several metropolitan newspa-
pers have agreed to run" these pictures
in serial form, so that every man in the
camp Is practically assured that he will
some day or other appear in public print.
One of the notable beats of photog-
raphy was credited to Weintraub when

MANY DELAY FINAL RECEIPT
Negligence of COnsignees Causes
Shortage OF Equipment, De-
clare Officials.

Cars Of coal received in the tri-
cities are not being unloaded as
rapidly as is the wish Of the fuel
administration. while cars suppOs-
eddy empty after unloading have
been found TO contain as much as a
ton Of fuel
A letter from local railroad agen-
cies calling TO his attention re-
cent notice in this connection is
sued by the government railroad
administration has been received
by Otto HIdebTandt, secretary of
the inter-regiOuaI committee of the
United States railroad administTa-
ton
According TO the communication,
IL has been brought to the atten-
ton of the rail and administration
officials that cars of coal have not
been thoroughly unlOaded upon ar
irving at final destination. In some
instances. after a supposed unload
ing, fully d ton OF coal has been
found in the car This residue is
either dumped and perhaps wasted
or else is carried back to the mine,
entailing unnecessary freightage
and allowing less fuel to be ship
ped from the mine.
The administration requests that
all receivers Of coal in carload lots
take particular pains to see that
the car is absolutely empty before
leaving it
Must Unload Cars ut Once.
Attention has also been called to
delay in unloading cars upon their
arrival. Some have stood for weeks
without being touched. The ad-
ministration points out that much
needed freight cars are kept out of
traffic in this manner. Coal ship
ments are Iessened. consumers are
kept waiting, and work at the mine
through lack of cars is sIackened
Orders of the administration
through the local fuel arbiter are
I that all cars are TO be promptly
and thoroughly emptied as soon as
IS possible after arrival at final
destinations.
