CAMP CENSORSHIP
GROWS MORE RIGID
Continued from LIST page)


Earl Caddock, the worlds champion
wrestler, private in the headquarters
troops, devotes all of his spare time
at camp drilling the men in this art.
By the way, Caddock's title to the
worlds championship has been ques-
toned by Wladck Zbyszzko, Of New
York, and on February 9Th, at the Col
iseum in Des MONIES, the matter will
be determined in a great wrestling
bout Caddock is getting some good
training by drilling the soldiers who
will participate in the wrestling match
with the men from Camp Funston.
Conserving Food at Camp Dodge.
Some ugly reports have been circu-
lated in regard to waste of food products
at the camp. One report stated that
some farmer is fattening 1000 head of
hogs from the refuse from the tables
and that half of hams, whole potatoes,
large hunks of bread and the like are
part of the diet the hogs receive. There
is not a particle of truth in such re-
ports If a soldier takes more food
than he can eat, it is reserved for him
and served at the next meal. This has
led to the custom of taking small por-
tons and having second serving if
not enough Of any one article OF food
is received at the first helping. One
of the soldier boys kindly submits a
single days ration which the govern
ment provides at the cost to it of 40c
for the three meals. For breakfast,
oatmeal with milk and sugar, hot cakes,
apple sauce, bread and butter, with jell
and coffee. For dinner, roast beef with
brown gravy, brown potatoes, creamed
carrots, pickles, peach sauce and coffee.
For supper, Dreaded steak, hash, Drowned
potatoes, stewed lima beans, corn bread,
white bread and cleo.
English is Taught at the Camp as
Well as French.
The war department at Washington
has commended the teaching of Eng
lsh at this cantonment to those not
familiar with the language. Swedish
English, Italian-English and Finnish
English lexicons have been prepared
for use at Camp Dodge by Second
Lieut.. Hjalmar R. Ramsen. In let
ter to the war department, Brig. Gen.
W. D. Beach says: Il am sending
you pamphlets showing results of our
first efforts at teaching English to our
men from northern Minnesota and Da-
kota. Similar pamphlets in Russian
and Greek will follow. I had my regi-
mental commanders sort out their most
hopeless Films, Swedes, Russians, Ital-
ians and Greeks and they sent me a
hundred or more. After a talk the
number was reduced to twenty-eight,
who, although they had been in this
country from three to seven years,
could not speak or understand English
at all. The Swedish-English lexicon,
for instance, contains list of army
terms and two Introductory paragraphs
headed Learn English First the Eng
lish word is given, then the pronunciation,
as near as it can be written in Swedish
equivalent.
This Offer has Rather Depressing
Task.
Major Arthur T. Wallace, who was
recently given his majority and as
signed as assistant. judge advocate at
Camp Dodge, will have unpleasant du-
ties to perform. Washington bulle-
tins give the information that assist
ant Judge advocates will make out the
wills of officers and enlisted men, be-
fore the organization starts for France.
Don't Have to Pay Interest During
Service
Men in military service cannot be
compelled to pay interest on debts or
contracts until six months after their
service ends, according to Attorney
General Havner, but the interest will
