ITS DIFFERENT WHEN
YOU'RE IN THE ARMY"
Miss Markley Says This Reminder Is
All Nurses, Patients and Order
lies Need When Things
Go Wrong.
MANY LEAVE FOR FRONT
There Are No Tears at Parting, Only
Good Wishes and Hopes Of
Going Too.

Miss Corinne Marley, formerly
visiting nurse here, writes from Camp
Custer, Battle Creek, Mich, that
there are no tears shed when the
nurses leave for France, and only ex-
preston of good wishes and the hope
of going, too, very soon, are heard.
Speaking Of a visit to the famous
Battle Creek Sanitarium, Miss Mark
ley says: at is a perfectly wonderful
place, and the nurses have all sorts of
| con~veniences, unknown at other train
ing schools.
"The Red Cross is building a home
for the patients and nurses in connec-
ton with the Base. 1t is sort of bum
galow style, with fire places, cozy
couches, a stage, books and the rest.
This is a wonderful country until the
sand gets to blowing, and then l wish
for Missouri.
Yesterday four nurses left for New
York on their way to France. There
were no fearful farewells, just good
bye and good luck; I'll see you in
France Everyone is eagerly await
ing her turn.
81 had two letters yesterday from
the school children. Earl Moore said:
we are going to have a battle here
the Fourth of July, and if you'll come
back, I'll get hurt so l a have a good
nurse Isn't he a dear? l surely
get lonesome for those children. We
never see children or babies here.
81 am awfully glad you are going
to have Burris A. jenkins in Mexico,
He is great and besides, he is from
Kansas City!
"Last night, four of us were walk
ing on the boulevard and a soldier, a
private, came along in a Y. M. c. A.
service car. He asked us to take d
ride-and it was certainly a tempta-
ton, but he was a private and we arc
in the Army now Whenever a,patient
wants anything or a nurse is tired OF
being so dignified or a corps men has
a disagreeable job, somebody says
Well, 20 are in the Army now,' ant
then nobody has anything more t.
sey.
ave come off duty sometimes 81
tired that we are just able to get t,
bed. We are asleep almost at once
and then, simply to remind us that w
are still in camp, the bugle blows TO
fire or for a drill or a regiment heade

again: We'll, you are IN the Arm
now, and you'd as well get used to i
France is worse yet So nobody CON

81 had a letter from my brothe
y saying not to write until I heard froi
him again, so l guess he is on tn
way. I sent my mother and fathe

Colonel Burton Says Detailing of
Regular Army Officer Here.
Assures That Point
o DRILL GIVEN
War Office Asks All Military Schools
to Give Practice in Hand-to-
Hand Fighting.

According to Col. E. Y. Burton, the
detailing of Major Wallace Craigie, a
regular Army officer, as professor of
military science and tactics at Mis-
souri, Military Academy, will mean
that the institution will have a Re-
serve Officers Training Corps next
year.
Colonel Burton has just returned
from Washington, where he went to
see wal authorities concerning these
matters. He received a telegram yes
terday after his return telling him Of
ficially what he had already learned
unofficially in Washington-that his
request had been granted and Major
Craigie notified of the fact of his de-
tailment here.
Major Craigie gave modern bayones
drill Thursday on his first visit here.
The War Department is asking all
military schools to give instructions in
the form of bayonet work, i4hich is
now being used on the western front.
They believe that there will be, as
there has already been, a great deal Of
hand-to-hand fighting in the present
war.
The cadets and officers of M. M. A..
are planning to go on a two or three
days camp soon. They will have
target shooting, and bayonet drill
during their outing.
Colonel Burton says that the stories
OF the crowds and confusion in Wash
ington have not been exaggerated in
the least. Conditions are greatly
congested and accommodations hard
to find, he adds.

No More Hun Comics.

In compliance with the request of
several score subscribers The st. Lou
is Republic is eliminating the comic
strip called "The Katzies," which has
been running in the daily and Sunday
editions for several months.
Complaint is made that it is no time
for Hun humor. As we think it over
there is more Of the Prussian about
the Katy kids than their accent.
Their chief delight appears to be TO
conflict pain on others, a truly Pots
dam gang characteristic.

is some distance back, so the follow ing statement is not a braggart's yarn, but simply an American pride in his fellow countrymen who have immoralized American manhood
 The enemy, led by several regi ments of famous Prussian storm troops met our boys who had "hik ed" nearly twenty miles, and not only did they stop, but our men drove them back nearly a mile. Since that time the infantry has pressed them back steadily, and al though our officers say we have made them pay ten to one for every man we lost, God never has made ten Germans worth one-half what the life of one of those boys is worth.
 The sheer desperation with which the enemy fights is awful In spite of four years horrible experience they still attempt to attack en' masse. This form of attack enabled us to HcdTly cAleTIllHdte an entire UlVlS- ion. The few men who escaped our artillery barrage were moved down by machine guns before they were half way across No Mans Land"
 We are all sf us under almost constant shell fire from the enemy artillery, but the infantry had the machine gun fire as we'll to contend with. The statement has been made that no troops could advance under machine gun fire. but our boys not only advanced under it, but they took the machine guns and turned them on the retreating Germans.
 I wish I had space to tell you of some of the hundreds of little incl dents of personal bravery that were performed. They will never find their place in history for the greater

classics, history, philosophical, bio- graphes, famous authors, as well as books of prose and poetry Among the works of famous authors are such as Shakespeare, Dumas, Bal Zac Hawthorne, Longfellow, Dickens, Whittier, and Holmes.
 Fifty volumes of the Harvard Clas- sfcs are among the works of Select ed Literature and perhaps are the most valuable books included in the library. There were only 1000 sets or the original edition of these clas- sics issued, this set being number 132.
 The Masons will have the library catalogued and placed in their lodge room for immediate use. Those fla miliar with the library say Juneau is particularly fortunate in having this valuable library retained in it's midst as this collection, taken with that of the Juneau public library gives this city wealth of literature that many larger cities in the States would be proud to have.
