My dear Mr.. Crews:
Nc doubt the readers of your valu-
able paper would be interested in
knowing something of Camp Dodge
and what is being done for the Col
ored soldiers there. l shall in brief
state some of the things we are doing.
Camp Dodge is located on a beauti-
full site about fifteen miles from the
city OF Des Moines, Iowa, and is
reached by a splendid trolley line,
giving service every forty minutes.
The camp has Accommodations for
about $4,000 men and is usually filled
to capacity. or this number about
10000 are Colored. The relations be-
tween the Whites and Colored are
most cordial, there being no friction
to speak of during the five months /
have been there, this, in spite of the
fact that Whites and Colored are of
ten housed together in the same bar
racks. There are two Colored Y. M.
c. A. Units-the second unit having
been formed about two months ago,
and the writer put in full charge of
same. which position is styled Build

DRAFT RETIREMENT
 |S BANNED IN BILL
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The ad- ministration bill, carrying s11,712,2sS for use by the department of agricul- ture in stimulating fod production and conservation, was amended by the house today to forbid the use of arE Of the money appropriated in paying salaries of employees of the department who have been given deferred classi- fication in the army draft.
 Adoption of the amendment followed charges by Representative McLaugh- lin of Michigan, republican, that Sec retary Houston had certified more than 1000 employees of his department for deferred classification and a state
 ment by Representative Madden of
 Illinois, republican, that the section appropriating s6,1oo,000 10 promote conservation by county agents Of the department, would enable more men of draft age to escape military service. Representative Rubey of Missouri, democrat, told the house that Secre- | tary Houston, had informed him that he had given his personal attention to l applications from employees of his de- l partment for deferred classification and that no one had been given pref | erence undeservedly.
 A final vote on the bill was not l reached.
