Robert Barr was a guest of rela- |
tives at Rockford, Illinois. and while |
there he visited his nephew, who is in
training at the cantOnment there. Rob- |
ert says words fail him to describe
the enormous scale on which the gov
eminent is doing things in the way OF
training the National army. He said |
he ate Sunday dinner with his neph- |
ew at the camp, and that he never had
a more wholesome and appetizing din
ner than the one he ate at the camp. |
That is the way Uncle Sam feeds his |
boys, in all of the camps in the United
States, and when the boys get over
there" they have the vitality and pep
that makes them a fighting force the
like of which the low-down Huns have
not run up against since they started
to devastate Belgium, in 1914.
