army INSURANCE
Percentage Of Men Who Take Out
Protection Nearly Twice That Of
Any Other CantOnment.
Rig Guns FOR ARTILLERY BOYS
Three Hundred and Thirty. Ninth Reg
iment To Get 6-Inch Rifles
Instead Of HOwitzers.
Especial to The Argus.)

Camp Dodge, Iowa, Jan. 11.-Sol-
ders at Camp Dodge have protected
their wives and dependents with $l24,-
500 worth of government war risk
insurance.
Under the measures of the war risk
insurance act so per cent of the SOL
diers have subscribed to from $1,000
to $4,000 of insurance of this type.
This percentage is nearly twice as
large as that of any of the other six
teen national army divisions.
OF this enormous amount the two
Iowa regiments have taken out ST.
$4,000 worth The Three Hundred
and F'iftieth infantry, to which men
from northern Iowa were assigned,
has subscribed 81 ,062 800, and the
Three Hundred and Thirty-ninth ar
tillery regiment, composed Of south
ern Iowa soldiers, s6,255 500.
Lieutenant Morrisey and his assist
ants are launching a campaign to
bring the total percentage of insur-
ance sold to 100 per cent.
The men in the Three Hundred and
Thirty ninth field artillery regiment
at Camp Dodge are going to be able
TO make it uncomfortable for Fritz
when the regiment gets located on the
battle front in France
The equipment for this regiment is
going to be 6-inch rifles instead of
6-inch Howitzers, as was first be-
lieved.
This means that the guns which
will be used by the Iowa men will
have an effective range of 10000 yards.
With one of the guns placed on the
artillery range northwest of the camp
site. the gunners could effectually de-
molish the state capitol and if neces-
sary could drop shells several miles
beyond
The guns TO be used by the Three
Hundred and Thirty-ninth are one OF
the largest types used by field artil-
lery regiments in modern warfare.
Their weight is so great that mo-
torized system of transportation ID
used and large tractors instead of
horses and mules take the pieces to
the desired points behind the lines.
Need Room for Action.
None of these guns have been re-
ceived at Camp Dodge and it is not
known whether this equipment will be
received here before the division is
ordered to move. The size and power
Of the rifles is so great that it will
be impossible for the men to gain prac-
tice with them on the present artl-
lery range because of insufficient
room.
Il appears now that probably the
only artillerymen to receive actual
firing practice on the range with the
equipment they are to use in France
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-01-11

will be those Of the Three Hundred
and Thirty-eighth field artillery regi-
ment. The men in this regiment are
from western North Dakota and the
guns to be used are of 3-inch calibre.
The Three Hundred and Thirty-sev-
enth field artillery regiment is to be
equipped with 4.7-inch guns, but the
range Of these is too great to permit
of practice with them on the present
range.
Artillery Now At Hand.
Four artillery pieces of the 3.2-inch
calibre have been received by the ar,
tillery brigade and VIII be used for
practice by the artillerymen.
The guns are an antiquated type,
without recoil equipment, and now
considered entirely Intellectual in mod
ern warfare
The pop" guns, as the artillerymen
call them, however, furnish means
whereby horses may be trained and
some information gained.

Especial to The Argus. J

Camp Dodge. Iowa. Jan. Ire
ports have come to the authorities at
Camp Dodge that swindlers dressed In
the uniforms Of national army men
have been cashing bogus checks at
various Des Moines stores.
To all merchants it IS suggested
that, for the protection OF the soldiers
as well as themselves, they call Camp
Dodge on the phone when man in
uniform wishes to cash check and
assure themselves that he is connect
ed with the company and regiment he
names.
Several merchants who have cashed
checks for supposed soldiers find on
inquiry after the man has left the
store that the regiment he names does
not exist.
Merchants are thereby warned to
establish a mans connection with his
regiment before cashing checks, I'M
less the soldier is already known ,to
them.
Two clever swindlers in the guise Of
private and lieutenant are said to
be going the rounds.
When a merchants hesitates about
cashing a check for the private, the
bogus lieutenant standing near steps
forward and declares he will vouch
for the soldier.
The merchant then obligingly cashes
the check Camp Dodge authorities
point out that they are powerless to
prevent clever crooks from purchas-
ing uniforms, but suggests the above
course for the protection of both mer-
chants and soldiers.
The base hospital has made such a
saving since the conservation rule
went into effect that the mess has
greatly improved. The money saved
by the men not wasting food at table
goes into the mess fund. Even the
convalescents must observe the ''clean
plate" rule. If they leave anything, it
is served to them next day. This does
not apply, of course, to the men who
are actually sick in bed. They are
accorded privileges.
Some of the Alabama Negro conva-
lescents carey things to extremes by
licking their plates, so intent are they
on showing their patriotism.
