At Camp Grant

Long hikes have been the feature
of recent training for infantry
regiments here, The forepart of the
week is devoted to battle man.
euvers in which the large trench
area plays an important part. The
last two or three days are devoted
to long march and an overnight
encampment ten or more miles from
camp, the return trip being started
in time on Saturday morning to get
the men back so that they may get
away for their weekend pass privil-
eyes.
The country in this neighborhood
is very beautiful at this time OF
year, and the marches on the long,
winding roads, bordered by model
farms, sparkling s r ms a d
through pre- ty groves, and the
night encampment at an ideal spot
make the trip pleasure jaunt as
well as training for endurance.
A recent battle maneuver includ-
ed the .fording of the Kishwaukee,
at point where the water was up
to the arm-pits of m any of the
smaller men.
Last Friday morning a hike was
made to a grove on the river banks
about II miles from camp, and the
afternoon and night were sp n t
there without further duty. In the
afternoon there was baseball and
swimming and other games, while
in the evening there was program
of several boxing bouts. The regi-
mental band accompanied the bri-
gade, playing several times while on
the march and also giving splen-
did concert in the evening. Several
impromptu concerts were given by
quartettes from many of the differ
ent companies.
Farmers from the neighborhood
and other people f r o m nearby
towns visited the camp Friday eve
ming. The women were especially
interested in the long rows of field
kitchens, keeping the c cook S and
mess sergeants busy explaining how
a couple of thousand men or more
are fed cooked meals in an hour,
later hardly any trace of men or
kitchens be found on the premises.
On these hikes the men carry full
packs and rifles and on hot days.
especially, it is rather gruelling
affair, but the men talks pride in
Striking it out" and the medical
corps ambulance has but very little
patronage. Last Friday wa s the
first of the hikes in which the band
took part, and it was amazing how
lively tune would put the pep
back into the troops when their feet
had become tired and the heat had
made them lag.

Take A Look
At Your Job

You men of draft age who are not
in the army because you have a wife
and children or father or mother
dependent upon you, ought to size
up your job to see whether or not
Marshal Crowder's new regulation
will touch you.
You know what the new regula-
ton is. 1t takes effect July l and
says that no matter whether a man
is married and has dependents or
not, he must go into the service If
he is either loafer or is doing
work which is not useful in winning
the war, and this order names GER
tain jobs as being non.useful such
as running passenger elevators,
sales clerks in stores, men doing
housework, and some jobs which
are regarded as hurtful, such as
working around gambling houses,
pool rooms, bucket shops, race
tracks, etc.
1t is easy enough to look at your
job and say, my job is not in the
list" but Gen. Crowder says it is
expected that the list of non-useful
Jobs will be extended from time to
time. Suppose that another list is
gotten out as soon as they take care
of the men in the non-usefnl Jobs
which are already named? Will your
job be in the next list?
1t is not very long step from
running a passenger elevator to be-
ing street car conductor.
If selling dry goods or groceries
in store is non-useful job, how
would they classify a deputy clerk
over in the courthouse, or a book
keeper?
!. If you are a bond statesmen or an
insurance solicitor and have receiv-
ed deferred classification in the
draft, what are the chances that
your occupation will be named in
the next list?
It you are a chauffeur for a priv
ate family, what are the chances
that the next list will put your job
down as non-useful just as this
named the doorman and butler.
And you lawyers-are you so
necessary?
In sizing up your job, you had
better think also about whether or
not a woman with sufficient train
ing could do your work, not as well
perhaps as you, at first, but could
she learn to do your work?
When you are thinking about
whether or not your job will be in
the list Of non-useful jobs put your
self in the place of Provost Marshal
Crowder, who must not only get
men into the army, but must see
that all the man power of the coun
try is working in things that are
useful in helping to win the war,
and then you can figure out just
what kind of job you hold.
The first list goes into effect July
/. There will probably be large
number of men hunting for useful
jobs. There will be more of them
as other lists are made up.
Maybe you just happened to get
into the job you hold now and have
stayed in it just because you didn't
happen to get out. Maybe you have
always wanted to work in a ma
chine shop or to work on a farm
but nothing came along to make
you do it, especially after you got
married. No one can tell you what
you better do right now, but one
thing is sure and that is that you
had better think about your job

thousand miles across the ocean. 1t
will be remembered he VIZ no
seen until his boat poked her nose
into Chesapeake bay, while running
on the surface, although he said he
submerged when coming in through
the capes because of English ships
he understood were t h e on the
lookout for him. Today our Naval
authorities say the Virginia capes
have been protected with nets and
the same is true of practically all
harbor entrances on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts. The recent raid is
not looked upon as military or
naval feat excepting to remind US
that the submarine can cross the
ocean with ease. However, it is
necessary for them to have what
are termed mother ships" or a
harbor base for repairs and supplies
and the American navy is on the
watch for any such attempts with
slight possibilities Of its success or
any serious danger to the coast
cities. The purpose is believed to
threaten troop ships but again the
Naval authorities claim they are
fully prepared for all corners.
The Ways and Means Committee
has begun its tax hearings for the
new bill and some adjustments are
possible in the existing law apart
from additions that are needed to
bring the tax up to the amount
suggested by Secretary McAdoo.
Many protests have been received
on the Zone System, second class
mail rate. There is no likelihood
that the Government will continue
to stand a $70,0O0,000 annual loss
from this source, but if any better
means of adjustment can be offered,
it NAV find favor with the commit
| tee.

pJOT THE GERMAN LAIN
 GUAGE OUT OF AMERICA

Riot out from every school in Amer .o tho compulsory teaching of Ger man.
 plo+ out the German language from use in America.
 Forbid the publication of any paper or magazine. or book of any kind, in German. it matters not if for scientific or educational reasons some people still want to read German.
 The use of the language in this country should be forbidden with ex- actlv the same determination that we forbid any active, open propaganda in behalf of Germany.
 It is true that this position may bore and there be antagonized by people who do not yet grasp the meaning of this war, or by some peo- nle who are misled and deceived by the German propaganda, or else are willing tools of the propaganda. It is quite probable, for instance, that some papers with an apparent squint toward ro-Germanism, as well as in- dividuals who are not willing to re- cognize the deep damnation of the German campaign, may loftily oppose such a rigid exclusion of the use of the German language. Nevertheless, the fight should be made. and made so vigorously that no decent American citizen will ever again be willing to be associated in thought or word with anything which is of German origin in language or in work
 The Church Record of Tacoma, Wash, in strong appeal for the abolishment of the German language in this country, calls attention to the fact that we are at last beginning to wake up to the real meaning of Ger manys work for the last quarter of a century or more, in which it had been definitely working to Germanize America and to dominate this coun- try Every man can now see evi- dences of this Most of us were blind in the past and did not realize the menace.
 The Church Record on this point says:
 We have discovered that Germany has a law which permits her citizens to come to America, take the oath of allegiance as citizens, swearing fdel- lty to their adopted country, while at the same time retaining their full cltzenship in the Fatherland" We have discovered that the average Ger man believes in this German "kultur." lie believes with Robert Thiem. a New York German, who in a letter to 'he Aide1'ehe Blatter, September 20 i9O2' said.
