Camp Dodge to Be Balloon Terminal.
Aeroplanes and kites and observa-
ton balloons may be flying over Camp
Dodge within the next few weeks.
Tentative plans have been made to
use CamD Dodge as terminal for
aviators flying between TT. Sill, Okla,
and Des Moines.
While they are here, the aviators
will maneuver with the artillery bri-
gade, working out problems in Indirect
fire and barrage fire on the artillery
range near Granger.
Two purposes will be served by con-
Quoting such flights. 1t will give avia-
tors an opportunity for long distance
flying
They will receive practice in pro-
curing firing data, and officers Of the
artillery brigade at Camp Dodge will
learn to work with aeroplane OBJ
servers.
Two stations between here and Ft.
Sill will undoubtedly be established at
other cantonments. The distance be-
tween Des MONIES and FIT. Sill Is about
700 miles.

rockies the following day. "This form
OF exercise is important. because it is
so closely allied with bayonet fight

is largely boxing with gun in ones
hands. In hand to hand fighting es-
pecially, this knowledge of boxing will
be valuable"
Gas Masks Used in Practice.
That necessity is the mother Of in
vehtion" is clearly indicated in study
of the gas masks used. The face piece
with glass or celluloid eyepieces. is
connected by flexible tube with a
canister carried in a knapsack. The
incoming breath comes through the
canister which Is filled with several
layers of chemicals which neutralize
or render harmless the gas laden air.
Outgoing breath passes outside the
face piece through small valve. The
student in gas defense soon learns to
get his mask on in a hurry, six sec
Onds being the standard time when
the knapsack containing the mask is
hanging at his chest in the alert" po-
sition. After intensive training a gas
attack is arranged. The class is put
in trenches, and without warning,
clouds of smoke and chlorine are lib |
Grated by the instructors, masks are |

sleeping men in dugouts aroused. !
