on the best the land provides.
A meal ticket is the first thing hand
ed worker on disembarking at the
camp. Then he is assigned to his
work and so promptly that no time is
lost. A trainload of 1900 workmen
which arrived at Camp Knox last
week were assigned to their proper
places and were actually helping to
build the camp in % minutes after the
train stopped at the camp.
The meals for which the men en-
ployed at Camp Knox pay 80 cents
each actually cost the government
421a cents each, but the government
figures that it is getting off cheap at
that, for no illness or loss of time is
caused at Camp Knox by careless
feeding. The best and most substan-
tial food, served in clearly fashion,
Keeps the health of the workers so
we'll that less time is lost from illness
than at any similar construction camp
in the country.
Civilians have asked of the United
States Employment Service workers
whether the men who go to Camp
Knox have any military drill. They
do if they go as soldiers, but not if
| they go as workmen. The men who
are asked to go to Camp Knox are
| under no military control any more
| than they would be at home. In fact
about the only difference in the work
err at Camp Knox and at home is that
the worker in the camp is much bet
ter paid, has regular work and all he
wants of it, regardless of weather
and can make as much money in
week working for the government
| there as he can in some months
working at home
At Camp Knox there is no chance
for typhoid fever to. attack the work
ers. The supply of water is piped
from the highest prings in Meade
county and no wells or springs near
the camp are used. The water sup
ply of a camp is one of the most i'm
portant problems it has to meet That
has been solved satisfactorily at
Camp Knox, the natural source of
supply being one of the finest in the
country.
Young men of the draft age not yet
called to the colors may find remun-
erative employment at Camp Knox
until they are called for examination.
Men between 10 and 81, already call
ed, are not likely to be disturbed II
they are helping to build this big mil
itary camp. Especially is that true if
| the worker be a skilled workman,
| such as a carpentero, brick mason or
contractor. These are not likely to
be called on for military service so
long as they are engaged In this vital
ly necessary work for the govern
ment.

MEN OF MASON, WHAT
ARE YOU GOING TO Do?
Won't You Wake Up to the Import
ance of This Great Work and Go
Help Build lit

With 10000 men in tents awiting
permanent housing at the big artillery
camp at Stithton, Hardin county, and
1900 animals practically without
shelter, the government Is calling
urgently for men to complete the
building of the camp by December Is.
10000 men are now employed at Camp
Knox, and the contractors say it will
require 10000 more to complete it by
by the time the government wants
done. 1t is up to the people of Ken
lucky to furnish these workers as a
part of their duty in winning the
greatest war in the worlds history.
Camp Knox itself will be one of the
largest military propositions in Amer
lea and the biggest artillery camp in
the world. 1t covers 10000 acres OF
land, the highest land between Louis
vile and New Orleans and in one of
the healthiest locations that could
have been selected by the government.
1t will have, and now has an embryo,
its own aviation camp, its own balloon
field, where the great observation bal
| looms are sent up to view the land
scape Ger" for miles away, miles oil
miles of sidewalks and streets, enor-
nous barracks for the housing of the
men, between 10000 and $4,000 of
whom will be sent to this camp for
training.
|, One can obtain only the faintest
idea of the size of this camp from any
description of it that might be given
on paper. If one can imagine city
as large as Winchester set down in
tents in heretofore unoccupied place
he may have some idea of the number
OF men now employed on the work. If
he can visualize a city the size of Lex
ington and add to 1t one the size of
Covington he will have fair idea of
what the completed camp will mean.
1t will cost $2O,OOO,OOO to the govern
ment, but it is expected that this will
only represent fraction of the gov
ernment's expenditure in Kentucky as
result of the establishment of the
camp.
1t is said that the American work
ingman is the best fed of all the
worlds toilers. That certainly is true
at Camp Knox. Meals that one might
not be able to get at hotels charging
$1,00 or $3.50 for the service are sold
to the workers at Camp Knox at 80
cents each. Lodging in cots that are
kept scrupuously clean, with warm
blankets and plenty of them for COW
ering are furnished the men free, so
that the expense of living at Camp
Knox is actually less than 1t would
be at home for the average American,
and certainly less for the average
Kentucky workingman used to living

COUNT TISzA AssASsINATED

Copenhagen, November Count
Tisza, the former Hungarian minis
ter, has been killed by soldier, ac-
cording to a Budapest telegram today.
The count fell victim to revolver
shot while he was out walking.
Count Tisza has long been one of
the storm centers of Hungarian poll
tics. 1t has been charged that he was
one of the four men responsible for
the war, and the accusation has been
made that he instigated the assassina-
ton of Archduke Ferdinand.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
to assassinate Count Tisza in Buda-
pest October II. His assailant at that
time was arrested.

so.

The sight of the observation bal
looms and the hum of the aeroplane
motors overhead bring home to the
visitors to the camp the fact that the
war is at our very doors, though the
Huns are on the run. Thousands of
homes in Kentucky have received
news of the death or wounding of
some member of those homes since
the war began. Except for the sup
plies necessary for an army in action
at the front the sight at Camp Knox
is little different from that one. gets
on the front in Europe, and men who
are serving with the troops at the
front are no more doing their pa
triotic part, even though they are Of
fering their lives in the ervice, than
are the patriotic workers of Ken
lucky who are helping so loylally in
the building of the greatest of artill-
cry camps. The question the workers
of the State has to consider is wheth-
er they will remain at home without
employment for at least a part OF the
time for work for the government at
high wages all the time.
The government intends to go right
ahead with its war preparations as If
the Hun had never indicated he had
about enough of it. The contract for
this camp has been given and, war or
no war, it must be completed. 1t is
to be permanent asset of Kentucky.
Tourists going through the state or
passing through nearby portions of
other states are bound to put Camp
Knox on their route, and the camp
will. be used in the future for the
training of the artillery regiments Of
The United States Army and of the
state militia, probably when the war
is over.
Some idea of the problem involved
in the construction of Camp Knox is
presented by the following figures:
Men employed now at the camp, TO-
00O
Men needed at the camp now, TO-
900.
Soldiers who will use camp, $4,000
Feet of lumber used, 80,000,000
Miles of street laid out, Sc.
Number of horses and mules used,
1900.
Number of barracks, $500 to house
5000 men.
Stables to shelter $4,000 animals
Camp Knox the best of order is
maintained No liquor is allowed on
the camp grounds. The young men
have the first aid attention of the Red
Cross in case of accident, and are
cared for in. a hospital if ILL., The Y.
NJ. G. A. and K. of C. do their part
at Camp Knox, as they have done it so
nobly in all the camps and on the bat
tie fronts. 1t is an ideal place for pa
triotic duty and remunerative en-
ployment combined. Lets co." is the
slogan of the Yanks across the seas
about to charge. Let it be the slogan
of the patriotic workingmen of Ken
lucky until Camp Knox is finished.
