corps headquarters 60 receive the
pigeons when they arrive. The govern
ment has issued the following notice:
Numerous complaints have been made
to the Pigeon Section of the Signal
Corps that carrier pigeons of the rae
ing homer type, being trained thru
out the United States for communica-
ton service with the American army,
have been shot by persons on hunting
expeditions. In spiteaof the fact that
many states have laws prohibiting the
shooting of pigeons, the killing of
these birds by hunters has interfered
seriously with the training of hom-
ing and carrier pigeons for army ser
vice. Any pigeon in the air may be
a carrier pigeon flying from a loft
under government supervision. Its
destruction may be a serious loss to
the American army. All persons,
therefore, are urged to refrain from
the shooting Of pigeons and to dis
courage the practice by hunters and
children. Persons coming into pos
session of pigeons labeled ~. S. A.
Is" indicating that they are being
trained for army purposes, are re-
ouested to report the fact at onc to
the office Of the Chief Signal Officer,
Land Division, Washington, D. G.
Refusal to Obey Orders Get Men in
Guard House.
Court martial proceeding are to be
brought at Camp Dodge at once
against eight st. Paul draft resisters,
who were brought here under an
armed guard from Fort Smelling last
week, and who have refused to obey
orders. The men, A. S. Broms, q.
johnson, A. w. Carlson, R. Carlson,
w. Truesdale, w. Troessler, M. Kan
man and C. w. johnson, r all as
signed to the Three Hundred Fifty
first Infantry, and are under direct
command Of Maj. Isaac S. Martin.
They refused to obey orders follow
ing their arrival at camp, and are
now confined to the guard house. In
all probability these men will spend
the duration Of the war and several
years more in confinement at Fort
Leavenworth penitentiary. They will
not be charged with draft resistance,
but with the more serious offense OF
disobedience Of orders, and the ex-1
treme penalty possible is death. Otto
Wangerin, a st. Paul soldier, tried on
a similar charge, got fifteen years at
Fort Leavenworth.
Hair Brushes Not Permissible.
The order has been issued by Major
G. E. Fronk, division sanitary inspec-
tor at the camp, that Camp Dodge
BARRIERS shall not brush the hair Of
their patrons. This is to prevent any
danger Of Infection or transmission
of disease. Every precaution is be-
ing taken at the camp to maintain
perfect health among the soldiers.
All soldiers at Camp Dodge who are
ordered into foreign service are to be
supplied with q razor, steel mirror and
shaving brush. Men have heretofore
been compelled to supply these 2
ticles for themselves.

Ter and attend TO. this very important matter at once. #

CAMP DODGE NEWS NOTES
Continued from page H.
Insurance Nearly Unanimous.

. Ha HE Z 4L n3
Under the law all opportunity for
soldiers to take out life insurance un-
der the liberal plan by the govern
ment expired Feb. Is. Only a few
failed to take advantage Of the meas
ure. "A total of 1850 policies has
been written at Camp Dodge when the
last weekly report was made, this
including only men now in camp. A
large sum of insurance has been
written at the local camp for men who
are no longer stationed here.
Another Enlargement of the Base
Hospital Recommended.
Recommendation has been made for
the charging of the base hospital so
that 200 beds may be utilized. If this
is done this will be the largest base
hospital in the United States. When
the addition now being constructed is
completed the hospital will cover IS
acres Of ground. It will take 80
acres to accommodate the proposed
addition. AS soon as the present adj
dition is completed which will be
about March LIST, Major Cooper ex-
poets to have one nurse for every ten
patients. With the 100 beds avail
able when the addition is completed,
it will require 10 nurses. Seventy
are now employed. So great is the
need that nurses from civilian life are
being accepted. Several have gone
to work in the last few days. New
quarters for the nurses will be erect
ed at the northeast corner of the base
hospital. Until these can be complet-
ed The newly arrived nurses will stay
at the Dodge hotel on Beaver. Nurs-s
es receive $50 per month and room
and board. Miss Grace Redman, the
daughter Of q former speaker Of Iowa
general assembly, is the dietian at
the hospital. She is in charge OF the
diet kitchen and sees that every pa
tient gets exactly what is prescribed
for him. The bedridden N fed as in
any well regulated hospital, but the
conyalescents and those suffering
from minor ailments are dined IN e.
big mess hall, just as the soldiers IN
their barracks are served.

our MARINES AT The German
CHATEAU THIERRY. drive for Paris

OUR MARINES AT The German
CHATEAU THlERRY. drive for Paris
was resumed.
but the turning point was reached
when on June and American ma
rines were thrown across the path OF
the advancing army a. Chateau Thier-
ry. The Americans not only stopped
the Germans but drove them back two
miles, capturing several hundred pr1s-
orers Heavy counter attacks broke
down under the machine gun fire OF
the Yanks, and the road to Paris was
again blocked. The marines suffered
severely in the terrific fighting, but
they made Chateau Thierry a name
that will long live in American his
tory.
In an effort to unite the Somme sa-
lient with that Of the Marne. to pro-
vide base for another move toward
Paris, the Germans launched another
heavy attack west of Noyon. on June
10. They made considerable gains on
a twenty-mile front, but the drive
was halted within two days. :
On June IL Washington announced
that the United States was then rep
resented on the battle line by 100 900
men.
Attention was transferred from
France to Italy when, on June. Is, the
Austrians opened an offensive on the
Italian front from Asiago plateau to
the sea. The attack, proved COM
plete fiaSco. It was repulSed at all
points. and the Italians pursued the
fieeing Austrians across the Piave,
taking $4,000 prisoners.
The German commanders made one
last effort to break through to Paris
when the crown princes army group
on July Is, the morning after the
French national holiday, launched an
offensive along n front from Chateau
Thierry to MasSiges. thirty miles east
of Rheims.
This fifth and last phase of the great
offensive failed most signally. being
stopped on the third day. The Amer
ican forces played. a big part in this
second decisive battle Of the Marne.
East of Chateau Thierry the Germans
forced a passage across the Marne
and the Americans who opposed them
were forced to fall back. temporarily.
Then, in a brilliant counter attack. the
Americans drove the Germans back
across the Marne, taking $500 pris-
oners, including complete brigade
staff Not a single German remained
on the south bank of the Aafne In
the American sector. East OF, Rheims
the French also held like stone wall
and at that moment the menace rot
the German armies was ended 'foretR.

Gen. Pershing, began a brilliant ac-
tion which wiped out the difficult st.
Mihiel salient in three days. The
Americans took 10000 prisoners in
this action. The Americans made a
further advance Of from two to three
miles on a thirty y-three-mile front on
September Is and the guns Of the
Metz forts opened against them
Austria, on September IA, appealed
discussion Of principles that might
lead to a general peace, but the Pres
ident promptly replied that the terms
upon which the United States would
conclude peace had been made so
clear that further inconclusive dis
cussion could not be considered.
Germany simultaneously offered
Belgium a separate peace. On Sep
tember IT the Siberian government
which had been established at Omsk
by anti-bolshevik elements declared
Serbian. French and Italian forces
on September IS launched big
drive against the Bulsars in Mace
donia, beginning an advance that
ultimately forced Bulgaria into sep
arate peace on the allies terms. AL
most simultaneously the British broke
the Turk lines in the Holy Land. The
Turkish army was shattered and by
September q had lost $4,000 men in
prisoners. In the meantime the allies
smashed the Hindenburg line along a
twenty-two-mile front in the st.
Quentin sactor. and 1t was announced
at Washington that the United States
now had 1,750,000 men across the sea
to aid in crushing the crumbling
armies Of the enemy. On September
81 the Amfricans hurled the Germans
ffont west of Verdun. The Americans
had gradually advanced east of the
Meuse and on September rs had ex-
tended. their operations west of the
river.
Fhe first decisive break in the ranks
of the central empires came on Sep
tember 81, when Gen. Malinoff, COM
mander of the Bulgar armies, which
were in rout before the advancing
Serbs and French, asked for an ar
miStice
