New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-02-13

That is at tie rate of two per day.
This does not take into account the
licences issued elsewhere. Girls take
no Iced as to tie possibility Of the
young men returning with limbs shot
away, eyes blinded, or other disfgur-
ations. Most of the soldiers carry
$4,000 life insurance and in case of
death that would be quite windfall.
All Soldiers Get Identification Tags.
There will be no unknown graves
sprinkled throughout France containing
Dodge soldiers. Identification tags are
already being distributed in several
organizations of the division. Tie tag
is an aluminium disk slightly larger
than half dollar. It is attached to
the neck of the wearer by a tape string
and must be worn at all times. The
name of the soldier is stamped on one
side with the unit to which lie be-
longs on tie other. A Cath Ole soldier
; may have a notice to that effect and a
notation which insures priests per-
forming the last rites if wounded.
Another Soldier Goes Wrong.
In view of the severe punishment
meted out to those who take property
that does not belong to them it would
seem that the experience Of Others
would be a sufficient warning, but is
not the case. Private A. W. Ono, a
member of the school for cooks and
bakers at Camp Dodge, has been SEN
fenced to two years at hard labor to
the United States disciplinary bar
racks for the theft of an army over
coat valued at $3.50. The sentence
also carries dishonorable discharge
from the service and forfeiture of all
pay and allowances due or to become
due. What would pass for petty lar
ceny in a civil court becomes peni-
Tertiary offense in army circles.
Baseball Equipment Wanted.
Lieut.. J."L. Ruyavitz of the Three
Hundred Fifty-frst field hospital unit
at Camp Dodge sent an appeal to the
sportsmen for baseball paraphernalia
for the use of the men of his company
during the coming spring and summer.
He states that they have formed a
baseball team, composed Of former
league stars, and they are in need Of
uniforms, baseballs, bats and other
, diamond accessories. It takes consid-
! cradle sporting enthusiasm to even
think of ball when the mercury is
playing leap frog with zero.
Another Genius Discovered.
Capt. Y. J. Camp, 352nd infantry
discovered genius in his company
The bayonet drills caused the captain
to take notice of tie agility of Sergt
! Kozelj. He is regular whirlwind. He
is supply sergeant of Co.. B. Before
assuming this position he was the
company bugler and he can play al
of the American calls in fine form
Before he entered tie army he coulC
pass an examination as veterinarian
, a machinist, a railroad engineer, or 6
/ boilermaker. And he speaks clever
; languages: English, German Russian
Polish, Bohemian, Slavish, Serbian, Bull.
garian, Croatian, Slovenian and Mont
enegran. He is from Minnesota.
Home Goodies Not Wanted.
No doubt mothers cooking is the
best ever, but it is not needed by the
/ boys in training, SO goes an order
from Washington. The Council of Ma
, tional Defense desires to inform the
people of tie country that abundant
food is supplied to the soldiers and
: sailors in the camps and environments,
: and that the sending of food to these
! men by their friends and families is
not in any respect necessary; that the
aggregate quantity of food thus priv
ately sent is enormous; that much
| of it having been conveyed long dis
tances in heated express or mail cars
is more or less spoiled and conse-
quently injurious to the health of the
men. Therefore, in the interest of the
conservation of food and also the good
health of the men the Council of Ma
tional Defense requests the public to
discontinue the sending OF foodstuffs
to the camps. ..
General Plumner Likely to Stay in
France.

Washington indicate that Gen. E. H.
Plummer, commanding officer at
Camp Dodge, who has been in France
for several months, will be given a
place on Gen. Pershing's staff. He is
rated as one of the most trustworthy
commanders. He was next in com
mand to Gen. Fred Funston at Vera
Cruz, saw service in the Philippines.
