The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1918-06-13

BY the military authorities.
An order issued at Camp Dodge e
quires them to proceed at once to,
Camp Merritt at Dumont, N. J., un-
der custody ola sergeant of'sthe nad1A
itary police and q sergeant from that
organization.
The interesting part Of the order TO-
Fee and Whitmer is the fact that
they will be compelled to pay the a
tire cost Of railroad transportation Of
both themselves and the two guards
who will accompany them, as well as
necessary added expense Of the trip.
1t will be deducted from their pay.
AS the journey is a long one, neith-
er Fee nor Whitmer are banking upon
any big returns.
A further source Of worry is the
possibility that Uncle Sam might next
order them to join their regiment IN
France and deduct the expense of this
trip from their $50 per month.
Soldiers Get Reduced Railway Rates.
Director General McAdoo realizing
that the payment Of the full railroad
fare means a serious hardship to sol
diers and sailors who desire to visit
their homes before going overseas,
has ordered that as soon as necessary
details can be completed soldiers and
sailors Of the United States forces,
when furloughed and travelling at
their own expense, will be granted q
rate Of approximately one cent per
mile. This fare will be available
on delivery to ticket agents Of GER
tifcate signed by commanding Off
GERS. Such certificates Of standard
form will be prepared and distributed
with the utmost promtness.

prevention Of any disease, and the
military standard Of cleanliness ex-
ceeds that Of 80 per cent Of the homes
iii this country. The majority OF cAsa
es were found among those who came
from homes where the standard was
low. It was found that there were
very few among the soldiers
who had been at the camp several
months, and had had the benefit of
military sanitation and training. '"The
first thing we tell a man when he has
a cold, is to put his hand over his
mouth when he must cough, or else
cough into his handkerchief, and not
into his neighbours face" said Lieut..
Jacobs. eve also prohibited them
from splitting on the ground. When
the saliva dries, the wind picks up
the germs and spreads them all over
the camp"
Preparing for Action.
Indications are becoming stronger
daily. that the division is gradually
getting on a basis for starting train
ing for overseas service. The first Of
these was the order for examination
Of the three general officers on duty
to determine their physical fitness fol
overseas duty. Men specified as "ft
for overseas service" are being trans.
ferred from the depot brigade to the
combatant units Of the division and
orders have been issued for the ex.
animation Of all field officers to de.
termine their fitness for overseas SER
vice. The recent promotions Of Majs
r. B. Ellis, Arthur j. Lynch ane
Frederick G. Turner to ranks Of lieu
tenant colonels and the advancement
of Lieut.. Col. G. F. Humphreys to thu
rank Of colonel is indicative Of pre-
paration for; starting training on al
active war basis. These events do MOI
mean that the division will be on thu
move soon. It will take severa
months to complete the training neces
sary.
Major Freeman Guilty of Drunken
ness at Camp.
Maj. Henry r. Freeman, Of Min
neapolis, assigned to the 337th Fielt
Artillery regiment here, has bee1
tried by a general court martial Of
charges of being drunk in public ant
acting in a manner d~isgraceful to tn
military service. President Wilson
in reviewing the case as sent to Wash
ington, confirmed the sentence Of dis
charge returned by the court martial
but committed it to six months con
finement to the limits Of the camp an
forfeiture Of 800, q months pay TO
a like period. The following repri
mand by the division commander ais
was given Major Freeman: "The di
vision commander expresses the opin
ion that the conduct Of Major Freemal
as shown upon the trial was highl'
reprehensible and ~unbecoming in a
officer of any grade, and that it wa

Camp Dodge, Iowa, June II, 1918.
the week beginning June "a,
something like 10000 men from ILL
nois, Minnesota, North Dakota and
Iowa will be called to assemble at
Camp Dodge. It is believed that a
number similar to this will be called
each month from this time forward.
Men who have been takin intensive
training for some time will be sent
east, headed for France so that there
will be room for the newly selected
men. Several thousands negro sol
diers have been sent east, presumably
headed for France, and 5000 other
negroes will arrive here within the
next few weeks. The new men from
Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa includ-
ed in the last call are getting ac-
customed to the new order Of things
at the camp. Uniforms have been dis
tributed and even though under quar-
antine the men are having some Wig
orous training. The number Of men
in the hospital has been materially re-
duced, warm weather and soaking
rains having greatly. relieved the sit
uation as regards pneumonia. There
are a number Of cases Of measles.
This disease has been the source OF
more contagion that all others COM
bined. It is a matter worthy Of note
that not a single case of typhoid has
developed since the establishment OF
| the cantonment. This would indicate
that the method of inoculations exact
ed of every man that comes to the
camp is a success. Great anxiety has
been needlessly caused mothers all ov.
er the country by the hue and cry ove'
the large number Of pneumonia cases
reported to be prevalent at the can.
