days they 90 from daylight to dusk
on physical drill and then they study
after evening mess. They are now
getting long hikes with heavy packs.
It is a part Of the speeding up pro.
gram. More officers are wanted, and
soon.
The real facts are at last getting
out to the parents and friends OF
Dodge soldiers about venereal dis
eases. Figures were recently published
broadcast showing that Camp Dodge
was second highest in the percentage
of social diseases in all the national
army cantonments. But It was found
upon examination OF the report that
it was based upon full division. d
There is now less than a third Of q
division at the cantonment. The cor
rected report, therefore, places Camp
Dodge toward the bottom of the list.
Soldiers have been OF great aid to
police of Des Moines in the war on
crime While the regular army priv
ate who terrorized the city for several
days with his daylight bank robbery
and almost nightly holdups, military
police took over the regular beats of
the night patrolmen, relieving the lat
ter to trail the soldier bandit.
The men in khaki have also been
very effective in causing the closing
of houses of i'll fame and bringing
bootleggers within the grasp of the
law. Sixteen men were indicted by
the grand jury that has just reported,
all charged with selling njuor to sold
iers. And soldiers with police author
ity were the men they sold it to.
General Getty asked the writer to
inform the mothers of the men from
Kandiyohi county, thru the Willmar
Tribune, that there is a big "front par
lor" ready for them at Camp Dodge
where they can visit with their sons
as if they were at home. 1t was built
by the Y. w. C. A. and it is called the
Hostess house.. It is for soldiers to
meet and entertain their mothers, Sis
ters and sweethearts. There are wo-
men in charge at all times and chap
erons for sweetheart couples.
"Its a great place for the soldiers
and you mothers" said General Getty.
"And its yours to enjoy when you visit
the camp"
Liberty Theatre, Uncle Sans own
mammoth playhouse, will be opened to
the soldiers soon. 1t will seat more
than 5000 persons and to it will come
the famed artists of the country. The
dedicatOry entertainment however will
be rip Van Winkle," a musical ex
travaganza produced under the direc
ton of Lieut.. Noah L. Waelchi, who
in civil life was theatrical producer
in New York. The soldiers will take
many of the parts and leading women
of Des Moines the feminine roles. Its
an entertainment for the soldiers OF
Camp Dodge first, and the common
people can have whatever seats are
left.
The ban on liquor in the army was
brought home to the soldiers this
week when Private Sherman Allen
Company B., 366th Infantry, went to
division guard house for six months
His violation of military law was to
be drunk and boisterous in restau
rant and to be disorderly on the inter
urban car on which he rode to the can
torment.

THE SPY.

An Americans sacrifice Of life and
all it holds dear to him, to save his
countrymen and learn the secrets of
the German spy system forms the
theme of the stirring William Fox
production THE Spy" which, with
Dustin Farnum in it's lead, comes to
the. Majestic Theatre on Friday, Fe-
bruary LIST. Dustin Farnum, one of
the few popular male stars of the
screen, plays the role of Mark Quaint
ance, man of wealth and social po-
sition, who undertakes the hazardous
task of gaining a list of the Teutonic
spies in the United States.
In Berlin he finds it necessary to
enroll himself among those spies be-
fore he can learn where the book con-
tanning their names is kept Then he
gets possession of it and sends it to
the American Ambassador while he
himself is contaminated. The odd
feature about this thrilling drama is
that it contains all the yigor and
excitement of war, without single
battle scene being flashed on the
screen.

WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-Further
uelay in final enactment of the Admin
lstration water power leasing bill was
forecast to-day by strong objection in
'he Senate to sending the bill, recently
passed by the House, to conference. 1t

10 committee and treated as new legis-
iation. No action was taken, and the

el'mlnat1on of the leasing provision by
which power rights would be turned
over for private. development, and ad-
Vocated unrestricted public ownership
and operation. He predicted that with

OF the private leasing system for a
term of years, would be reversed in
1anor OF public ownership.

which was drawn under the supervision

ton. The new bill was passed as an
appointment to bill of Senator Shields,

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Sept. 19.--With
representatives from eighteen states
present, the first national convention
of War Mothers of America began ses-
sions here to-day. The convention was
formally opened yesterday with a pa
rade and social events. At to-day's
session Mrs. Robert Carlton Morris,
of Toledo, was the principal speaker.
Among the matters of business will be
the election of permanent officers for
the ensuing year. Until the election
Mrs. A. J. Schulz, of Evansville, will
continue to act as president
Unconditional surrender" is de-
manded of the German nation in a
resolution sent to-day to President
Wilson, General Pershing and the
American expeditionary forces in
France. The resolution reads:
Millions Of War Mothers of Amer
ica, represented in national convention
in Evansville, stand loyalty behind you
IN your desire to make no peace until
Germany and her allies surrender un-
conditionally"
The adoption of the resolution fol
lowed the reading of telegram from
President Wilson, as follows:
10 the War Mothers of America the
heart of the whole nation goes out in
PRIDE and deep sympathy; sympathy
because of the supreme sacrifice they
have made and in pride because of the
superb courage with which those sacri-
noes have been accepted. Their sons
are making America loved and hon
ored wherever men love freedom and
respect justice. Their heroism and
their sacrifices will make the whole
world happy and safer home for the
wives and mothers of brave men in the
days to come. Future generations will
rise up and call these men blessed
respect and gratitude"
Wisconsin War Mothers, who are
here in force, are seeking for that
state the location of the national head
quarters
One resolution calls for the retire
ment of P. P. ClaXton, United States
Commissioner of Education, because of
an alleged statement to the effect that
"the nationwide movement to elm
mate the German language from the
public schools and ordinary affairs of
commercial and social life is form of
hysteria."
One of the interesting features of
the session this afternoon was an eX-
perience hour for mothers with four
or more sons in the military or naval
service of the United States

many Belgian girls, whose fate is
summed up in the requisition found on

MRS. Clark was also present in soup

certain If they had lost weight before
supplying them.
At one time she saw little girl wait
two and onehalf hours with her ewes
fastened on the soup kettle, and then
she was denied food. Whole neighbor-
moods were made responsible for the
mlsdemeanors of individuals. said Mrs.
Clark If one man violated any of .he
numerous military orders whole com
munlties were punished, sometimes by
death.
The First Liberty Loan was the
worst blow dealt the Germans" said
Mrs. Clark. Coming in contact with the
Germans as ] did at diplomatic func-
tlons which we were forced to attend
before we entered the war. learned
that Germany scorned the power of
the United States. 1t was thought that
we were not only incapable of raising
an army, but that we were so money
mad that we would refuse to give
financial aid to the Allies"
Mrs. Clark made a strong plea for
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
