The Officers Club of the 316th Regi-

Army man, who had in mind the pleas

possibilities as clubhouse, and he was
not long in finding officers eager to
carry out his idea. A club begins with
desire for fellowship. That was evil

Trained Under Hardships.

These instructors are training men in
the methods by which the stoves are set
up IN Murray in rain, snow or gale. In
feeding, sleeping and in every other de-
tail of the daily routine the conditions
that must be faced at the front will be
Initiated. The things that must be done
be done with all possible haste here,
for in the sham warfare the observers
will assume the presence all the time
of enemy snipers and artillery Every
trench is being constructed with the
idea of making it as effective as pos
sible for aggressive and defensive work.

EFFORTS TO COMPLETE
COURSE AT CAMP MEADE
Required Standards Being Sought
for Various Fighting Units Be-
fore Going to France.

From Gen Nicholson down to the
last rookie to arrive, the one idea
from now on is to complete the course
of instruction up to that standard re-
quired of all who are sent to France
as parts of fighting units. The shift
ing of individuals and the movements of
larger or smaller bodies for special
service have no bearing upon the one
important matter going to France to
fight as division. with definite pro-
gram of fighting to do.
But before the fighting in France
there is to be the sham fighting here
to open. Some regiments have gone
forward in the preparation of the
front" The 315th, the Philadelphia
Infantry organization, has much of it's
trench system completed. The 3O4th
Engineers, including many men famil-
lar with construction work of the most
important kind, have kept right on
with little interruption for Christmas.
Like Winter in France.
The winter here is said to be not
much different from that in France, and
the winter training all the more valu-
able for preparing men for the kind
of service they may be facing a year
hence. The terrain near Portland and
out beyond, as far as Annapolis juno
ton, is not very much different from
some in Flanders. AS the trenches are
dug the wild countryside begins to
answer the descriptions that come. from
the other side.
Every effort has been made to see
that the men are fully equipped and
clothed for the rigors of winter. The
early. December weather was more
frigid than many expected, but there
was practically no suffering from ex-
posture. Even the Tennessee negroes
bore up well, and for the men from
Pennsylvania and Maryland the north
ern blasts had no terrors whatever
From now on the bleakness of the
winds will mean nothing. The hardest
frozen ground can be dug by the men,
who are determined to get under for
protection from the enemy" Field
stoves are in readiness for service at
the, front and special instructions in
cooking under severe weather condi-
tions are being given by the different
teachers of cooks and bakers school

WASHINGTON, May 20.-At least
100000 men, women and children
took part in the parade of mercy
Saturday in hundreds of cities, towns
and villages to mark the opening Of
the $100,00O,000 war fund drive for
the Red Cross. Advance reports to
the national headquarters here de.
scribed the demonstration as the
greatest humanitarian outpouring the
nation has ever witnessed. Big cities
from coast to coast and from Chicago
to New Orleans saw elaborate pa.
rades and reports from towns and
villages told of unusually large and at.
tractive pageants.
In some cities uniformed Red Cross
nurses and workers marched with Sec
lions made up of the mothers, fathers
an dsisters Of American soldiers and
sailors. In many of the parades a
large number of floats either symbolic
of the work of the Red Cross as the
greatest mother in the world or
else depicting the red cross actually
in action at the battle front or reliev.
ing the necessity of refugees from war
harassed villages were employed
The Washington parade included
5000 women in red cross uniforms and
various departments of the govern
ment were represented. Messages
from General Pershing and from Hen
ry p. Dawson, chairman of the Red
Cross council, who has just returned
from Europe were read at the Red
Cross building here.
