busters, who used to travel with Buff
falo Bill, was sent to the remount
after one of the worst bronchos in the
corral and this boastful Indian was to
be given an opportunity to ride it. The
white man made it appear that he was
thrown from the animals back and
this scared the Indian so that he re-
fused to tackle the wild animal The
result was that a number of robust
fellows tossed the Indian on large
blanket and he was given what is
known as the blanket degree much

r. New Commanding Officer
Generals ,Foote and Beach of Camp
Dodge, successfully passed their phys
ical examinations and will accompany
their brigades to France. The failure
OF General Getty to pass the physical
test required of all officers who are to
accompany troops to France will oc-
casion the appointment of new COM
manding officer for the Dodge division.
The war department soon will send to
the senate the nomination of brigadier
general to tie rank of major general to
command the division. Brig. Gen. w.
D. Beach has been designated acting
division commander, General Getty has
been ordered to Camp Gordon, Ca, to
command replacement unit at that
post. The order, changing command
ers, discharges General Getty from the
national army as a result of which he
will revert to tie rank of colonel in the
regular army. Colonel Getty held the
rank of colonel in tie regular Amy
for eight years prior to the United States
entrance into tie war. This o1der is
similar to that which relieved Maj. Gen.
E. H. Plum1ner from the command of
the division, discharging him from the
national army, as result Of which he
reverted to tie rank of brigadier general
and was assigned to duty at Fort Sill.
Laws to Protect Soldiers
Most of TIE states have enactments
to prevent advantage being taken of
the men while in TIE service of their
country. In a previous article it was
told how state law prevented wife
from bringing suit for divorce while
her husband is in TIE army. Now
comes recent enactment by congress
to supplement TIE work undertaken
by the different states. f'Tke Soldiers
and Sailors Civic Rights Act is in
tended to, protect men in tie service
+ from undle hardship caused by Their
inability to bring or defend lawsuits
and to attend to tier bust ness obi
cations and property rights during their
absence from home in military service.
In order that they NAV get tire full
benefits of the law, the department has
arranged to cooperate with the Red
Cross through its home service sections.
The acting director general of civilian
relief of the Red Cross has sent a letter
to each Of these home service sections
calling upon them to assist in the adj
ministration of the law and giving
specific instructions for that purpose.
Any man in the army who wishes to
take advantage of the provisions of this
act may refer to his case through his
commanding officer to the Adjutant
General of the army, and the depart
ment will refer the matter, through
National Red Cross headquarters, to
the home service section at his place Of
residence. Thus the Red Cross, through
the machinery which it has already
established, will be rendering service
of distinct value to enlisted men which
the war department will greatly ap-
preciate.'
Not Allowed To Buy Booze
J Trial by court martial is in store
in the future for all soldiers in the
Eighty-eighth national army division
here who are shown to have been ac-
cessories to violation of the liquor
laws and regulations. An order issued
from divisional headquarters states that
purchasing, receiving or accepting
liquor from bootleggers, or having
liquor in their possession, shall be
construed to mean a violation Of laws
and regulations and that trial by
courts martial will follow if it is
shown that any soldier has been con-
nected with such practice. Organize
ton commanders are to be held re-
sponsible for compliance with the or
