SOLDIERS TRAINED

Washington. Sept. 27.---In order
that American soldiers over there
should be able literally to stsge at

missions dramatic directors over
here. Uncle Sam is providing them
with a new device in the way of port
able stage equipment which occupies
no more space than a smallsized
trunk and can be set up, taken down
and packed away within a few
minutes.
The new contrivance is the work
of Austin Strong, playwright. whose

time to the duties of librarian for

Mr.. Strong has utilized some of the
features of the Portmanteau theatre,
his main idea was obtained from an
account of soldier show" in the
Russo Japanese war. given by Gene

General Hamilton tells how during
the Russell panese war he saw
20, 900 Japanese soldiers in a beauti-
full Manchurian valley attend highly

In connection with the dramatic
activities fostered in the army by the

The Leader on August 10 carried
story about Private Kunkel, stating

at Chateau Thierry. according to
letter received by his father. He
stated in the letter that the wound
was not thought to be serious, but
that he was then in a French hos

Mr. Kunkel, on September II, re-

son was killed in action on July 10,

about his death. as his father has re-

TENDER 5, and saying that he had
practically recovered and expected to
go back to his command in about a
week.
