BUGLE BLASTS
 GOVERNING THE ARMY OF NATION

CAMP LEWIS, Feb. IA. - There are bugle calls for most every move ment soldier must make in the Army. He is awakened in the morn ing by the bugle, called to assembly by the bugle, called to breakfast by the bugle, called to work by it, called to sick report by it, his days work is ended by it, and finally he is put to bed by it.
 And then, when his life's work is complete and he is being lowered into his resting place in a little pine box, the bugle plays the last call, the most beautiful of all calls, the same call that every night sings the men 10 sleep n their tentS-tapS.
 Has Meaning Of It's Own
 Every company must have it's bG- glers or trumpeters, whichever the case may be, for it is provided by the Army regulations. Nothing is said about any words to the calls, but iron, time immemorial every call has IS own words, and there arc aS many variations to the parodies as there ere lights on rrelflh rtrect.
 The reyeille call comes first in the morning, when the men are all sup posed to get up. Probably the oldeS. verse set to the reveille tune follows;
 q can't get 'em up, 1 cant get em up, cant get 'em up in the morning;
 can't get 'em up, can't get 'em up, I can't get 'em up at all.
 Corp'ral worse than the privates;
 Serge ants worse than the corporals;
 Lieutenants worse than the ser geants;
 And the capt'ans worst of all

ALCOHOL FROM
 BREAD BAKER
 IS DISCOvEROR

GALLUP, N. M., Feb. 15. - A plan to manufacture alcohol as a by-prod- uct of bread in bakeshops was reveal ed here in the seizure of still in the bakery of George w. Keller, and a quantity of liquid distilled from bake oven fumes, containing Q per cent of alcohol.
 The raid on the property by Income Tax Inspector Moore of the Internal Revenue service was made on orders received from Denver. Keller was not arrested. Officers are Investigating his assertion that he intended no eva sion of the law, having erected the still to work out a theory which he hoped would be of value to the Gov emment in recovering alcohol from a hitherto wasted product.
 Keller's apparatus was crudely con structed, the vapor from the baking bread being conducted from the oven into worm which was cooled by 6 barrel of water, the alcoholic product being condensed and wasted upon the ground. Possession of the still is a violation of the Federal law.
 Prominent citizens are said to be backing Keller in his invention. Kell- CT says quantities of alcohol can be manufactured by Army bakeshops and bakeries in large cities for use for war purposes at virtually no cost.

ANY OLD PLACE IS GOOD ENOUGH JUST
 so THERE IS FUN

FL PASO, Tex, Feb. Is. - In a little brick cottage on the Fort Bliss street car line, which has been con verted into soldiers club, the war service board has been holding enter tainments for the soldiers of the bor- der district and cavalry division here. Almost every night this little, five room house is crowded to the doors with men in the olive drah uniform of service. Dancing, music, a program of recitations and children's folk dancing make up these informal pro- grams which are given for the men from the different regiments on the border.
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1918-02-15

Then the chorus comes in strong with "I can't get 'em up, l cant get 'em up, etc."
 The Most Popular of All The words to the mess call are another standard verse, although there are many variations. This is one of the most popular calls in the Army, and seldom, if ever, must be repeat ed The men never seem to have as much trouble hearing msjs call as they do the other calls. The verse fol- lows:
 "Soup-y, soup-y, soup,
 Without a single bean; Pork-y, pork-y, pork,
 Without streak of lean; Coffee, coffee, coffee,
 Without any cream.
 cor, the weakest ever seen.")
 Means Much to Sick Soldier. Sick call is just as adapted to Army life as the other calls are, for sugar coated pills and quinine are used ex- tensively by the medics. Sick call follows: Come and get your quinine, come
 and get your pills, Oh, come and get your Quinine, come
 and get your pills" The stable call, which sounds when it is time to feed and water the horses and mules, has a little more poetry and rhythm in it. The words follow: Come all who are able, and go to the
 stable,
 And water your horses and give '"m
 some corn; For if you don't do it, the colonel will
 know it,
 And then you will rue it, sure as
 you're born."
 The Most Beautiful Call The last call of the day, the one that follows Lights out," and the one that puts the American soldier to sleep wherever he may be the world over, has more versions written to it than any other call. Taps is the most beautiful call of all and its effect is soothing to the tired and weary body of the soldier as he lies in his bunk wooing sleep. Two of the versions are:
 "Fades the night;
 Ard afar
 Goeth the day,
 Cometh the night;
 And a star
 Le2deth all,
 Speedeth all,
 To their rest.
 "Love, good night, ..
 Must thou go
 When the day
 And the night
 Leave me so?
 Fare thee well;
 Day is done,
 Night is on."
 The Final Call After a soldier has "gone Vest as death is known in the Army, taps is sounded as the body IS being lowered
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1918-02-15

into the grave. The words that go with the final call are: "When your last Day is past, From afar Some bright star
 Ger your grave Watch will keep While you sleep
 With the brave.

THE REWARD.

Certain honest thinkers among US
hesitate at that last sentence. They
say il is all we'll to be idealistic, but
is it not true that while we have
fought our country's battles for ono
hundred fifty years, we have not
gained our rights? There is just
enough fact in this half truth to
make it whoe and a very mischiev-
Gus lie. No, we have not gained all
our rights, but we have gained rights
and gained them rapidly and effec-
lively by our loyalty in time Of trial.
Five thousand Negroes fought in
the Revolution; the result was tho
emancipation Of slaves in the North
and the abolition Of the African slave
trade. At least three thousand Negro
soldiers and sailors fought in the
War Of 1912; the result was the
acknowledgements Of tho Negro in
many Northern States and the begin
ming OF a strong movement for
general emancipation.
Two hundred thousand Negroes
enlisted in the Civil War, and the
result was the emancipation of four
million slaves, and the enfranchise-
ment Of the black man. Some ten
thousand Negroes fought in the

Spanish-Amcrican War, and in the
twenty years ensuing since that war,
despite many set backs, we have
doubled our landholding acreage and
quadruplcd our accumulated wealth.
We have established strong lead
crsh;r Of education and character, VIC
have expanded our business inter
ests and we have established the N.
a. A. G. p, with forty thousand
members.
God knows we have enough left to
fight for, but any people who by 10y
atty and patriotism have gained what
we have in four wars ought surely
to have sense enough to give that
same loyalty and patriotism chance
to win in the fifth.
And VIC are winning right now.
Since this war began we have won:
Recognition Of our citizenship in
the draft;
One thousand Negro officers;
Special representation in the War
and Labor Departments;
Higher wages and better employ
ment;
Abolition Of the color line in rail
way wage;
Recognition as Red Cross nurses;
Overthrow OF segregation ordi
nances;
A strong word from the President
against lynching.
Blessed saints! Is this nothing !?
Should it not discourage slackcrs
and fools? Come, fellow black man,
fight for your rights, but for God 8
sake have sense enough to know
when you are getting what you fight
for.

HOW POLICE GOT THE TIP.

Detective Bcrtucci, it was said re
called seeing Sharkcy on Seventeenth
street Saturday afternoon, but did
not then suspect that this was the
man who murdered Bowman because
the clothes he then had on differed
from those of the murderer.
First tip as to Sharkcy came early
this week to Chief Sherry from Ed
ward Wade, Il former Schoolhoy clum
CT the cher. Wade said that he had
received the tip from Earl Barney II
Negro in his employ, who in turn had
got information from an old colorcu
woman living OH Oak street that
Sharkcy did the killing. Fearing that
harm might bcfall her if ii became
known that she was Informing OH
one of her race. she requested that
her name be withheld.
Dctectivc.Scrgeant John Wiley, act
ing OH this tip was engaged in run
ming down clues as TO Sharkey's
Whereabouts when jeff Stokes Ne
gro Went TO the Second district po-
lice station yesterday morning and
told Policeman e. IL. Gcrring where
Sharkey could be located. The infor
nation was flashed to police head
quarters and in Il short while Ser
geant Wiltshire, Atkinson and Smith
had the suspect under arrest.
Barney it was said happened to
| know Sharkey because the latter was
friend of his mother who lives on
King street in the vicinity of what
is known as Wcndcnburg's bottom
According to the detectives. Sharkey
is known to have been at that wo-
mans home last Monday night and
barely missed being caught there
when the police were securing that
ncighborhood.
, AS TO DIVISION OF REWARD.
Supposition today was that if Shar
key is convicted Of the murder the
old colored woman as we'll as Barney
would be entitled to at least part
Of the $3.50 offered for the assassin.
The man who impaired information
to Gcrring would also get a share it
was presumed. The remainder would
be divided among policemen and de-
tcctivcs figuring in the case, It was
supposed.
Now that the police have apparently
fastened the crime on Sharley it
was anticipated today that the sew
eral other suspects being held would
soon be released.
