ESTEADY STREAM OF
BOND SUBSCRIBERS
Banks Are Busy Selling Liberty
Loans Bonds Even Before the
Drive Starts

There has been steady stream OF
subscribers for Third Liberty Loan
bonds at the local banks ever since
nine o'clock Monday morning when
subscriptions were opened Begin
ming next Monday committees will
call on the citizens soliciting the pur-
chase Of the bonds, but meanwhile
loyal citizens are focking to the
banks to learn their allotment and
make their subscription, and will
thereby greatly lessen the work Of
the volunteer subscription commit
tees.
J. B. Ormond made the first sub
scription, and subscribed an excess
of 25 per cent over his allotment.
This record stood till later in the
day when Russell Baker doubled his
allotment.
Those who subscribe their allot-
ment receive a. window card, which
is fac simile of the honor flag
which goes to towns which subscribe
their allotments.

ART. CLARK WRITES
FROM CAMP DODGE
Describes the Big Base Hospital at
the Camp Meets Other Morris
Boys

Arthur Clark, writing to Mrs. F. A.
Hancock, says that he has met two
other Morris boys, Rupert Sirr and
George Rowles, who are also in the
Medical Department of the Base Hos
pital
my idea of the army and the
camp here have changed immensely" /"
he says, 'for we are all enjoying it
fine, doing well. Sleeping facilities
and edibles are the best that can be
had in the army.
"We have at the present time
about $50 men in the base hospital
including about 1876 men who have
recently arrived here from Chicago,
Ill. Included with this number of
men we have large number of
nurses, of which am unable to give
the number. The base hospital con-
sists of about so wards included with
a few minor wards which are used
in the barracks. We have about
1900 to 100 who sleep each night
in the hospital. Certainly is a large
number, isn't 1T, but not when you
think Of the number of boys and
young men who are in the army.
Each ward is for a different disease,
some having two or three for the
same one. AS to myself I am in the
mumps ward consisting of two build
ings, two floors each.
''In fact you would be surprised
If you were to visit the base hospit-
al for it covers an area of four acres.
New barracks are going up each day
for use and new ones are being ad-
ded in general to the camp.
"The members Of the hospital are
divided into four companys, A B C
and D. AS to myself, am in Com
pany c.. We have drill twice week,
lectures twice week, inclusive with
gas mask drill, and go to work at
seven in the morning working twelve
hours seven days week. Oh, we get
an afternoon off of course, but even
then you can see we have not much
time to waste.
Last evening we, CTS members in
all) were guests at a reception held
at the army club in Des Moines, by
the young ladies Of one of the clubs
which consists of about 1900 divided
into clubs, known as the Social So
ciety of the Red Cross. We all had
very good time. We have very good
entertainment here in the camp. The
Y. M. G. A. motion pictures, and our
own dances each Monday evening.
"Have seen several from near and
in Stevens county and sure am glad
to see them"

INFLUENZA CASES
DECREASING IN
CANT0NMENTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. II. -
While Spanish influenza continues
to spread among the civilian popu-
~lation, the continued decrease in the
number of new cases in army camps
has led army medical authorities to
believe that the peak of the cpl
demic among soldiers has passed.
Secretary Baker said reports indi-
Gated that measures taken had
brought the disease under definite
control. New cases among troops
during the past "a hours totaled
1868, less than half the number a
few days ago. Deaths numbered
10, a decrease of 179.
Reports from the public health
service also noted an improvement
in Vermont, New Jersey and Tennes-
see. The epidemic continues I'M
abated in Washington.

SUNDAY WILL Be
BIG DAY FOR
HOME GUARD

Next Sunday will be a big day,
for at 10 o'clock in the morning 80
of the Home Guard, led by the ia
nous Home Guard jazz band, which
will make it's initial appearance on
this occasion, will leave on a 12-
mile hike to Alkali springs. The
men will meet at the high-school
gymnasium at $50 and promptly
at 10, led by their 20-piece band,
will start on a short march through
the business district before start
ing for the springs.
Other members of the Home
Guard aside from those who have
already said they will make the
trip may leave their names at any
time with either Captain Clyde
Johnson or Sergeant Rod Arm
strong. This is necessary so that
lunch enough for everybody may
be provided at Alkali. 1t is evident
that a lunch shortage would be a
calamity.
Some of the Home Guards are
now exceedingly anxious to break
into the commissary department so
that they may attend to the wants
of the men on the march, but, more
important, so hat they may ride.
The question of returning the
men to Goldfield is now worrying
the Home Guard officers and every
one owning an automobile has been
following the arrival of the march

BEHIND THE AMERICAN LINES
IN FRANCE, Oct. 16. = Heads Of
dummy soldiers made of papier-
mache and mounted on long poles
peer with staring eyes over the
tops of imitation parapets in the
American camouflage station here.
They are decoys for the German
sniper to shoot at and thus disclose
his hiding place.
Long lines of these dummy fig
ures lean against the walls of the
TOY shop" as the soldiers call it, a
huge building where companies and
regiments of imitation soldiers are
manufactured. Soldier heads, some
b~areheaded and others wearing he'll
NETS, are first modelled by sculp-
tors working in soft white clay.
This is repeated in PAPER mache.
A big oven bakes the papier-mache
heads to the required hardness.
Then they pass to the artists, who
put on the natural tint of flesh,
uniform and helmet. Finally they
are mounted on stout poles and are
ready to be held up as decoys along
the trenches to draw the fire of the
enemy. Very often an enemy snip
er will disclose his whereabouts by
taking a shot at one of these papier
mache soldiers peering over tho
trench front.
Turning from the plaster decoys
the correspondents were suddenly
confronted by a whole regiment of
soldiers armed and in full field
equipment. and thrown out in
open order as the men go forward
in the early morning raids. But
instead of being real soldiers, this
as a regiment of ''s%ilhouettes."
Each figure was life-size, painted on

children cut out paper dolls. Some
we're kneeling and firing; Others
were firing from the shoulder; and
others stood at rest. They were
fine-looking men," every one of
them, and the work of the best ar
lists.
These silhOuettes are one of u
most effective means of camouflage,
it was explained. They are used in
the early dawn, when there is a
mist which makes it difficult to
defect the deception. During the
night they are posted in open order
far in front. AS daylight breaks
the enemy sees this array dimly
outlined through the mist. 1t US
ually draws the fire of machine
guns and batteries and gives in ad-
vance warning of the main lines of
enemy resistance. With this dis
closed, the men leap forward and
living figures take the place of the
painted silhouettes.
