There are now more than 5000
horses and mules in this cantonment's

Twelve hundred OF the most modern

Camp Custer now has express ser.
vice. All the express companies have
pooled their interests in the camp, and
have constructed building near the
entrance to the electric railway.
The advent of real winter has caused
a myriad of colds and throat affections,
all of which are of a minor nature but
serious enough to make II advisable to
keep the men In barracks. Measles
are also on the increase.

Women OF Michigan should immedi.

tivities for the soldiers to the making
OF helmets, gloves or mittens and
socks, especially helmets. They are
more important than sweaters. muff-

Custer Regiment Hooverizes.

Meatless and wheatless days have
been introduced in Camp Custer by
the 330th field artillery. This regi
ment is the first in camp to step
forth voluntarily and enlist its efforts
in the campgain for food conserva-
ton.
The army has never been asked to
do more than maintain its present
food schedule. The theory is that the
soldier who gives up all his home COM
forts, leaves his business and in ,ad.
dition works like a beaver for eight
or ten hours a day should not also be
asked to go on reduced rations. The
army man lives more simply than half
the civilian population as It is There
are mighty few scraps from his table.
and what few there may be are sold
and utilized
The spirit OF the 330th in voluntar-
lily submitting to the change OF ra-
tons is therefore meeting with cora
mendation, and 1t Is said that other
regiments may daopt the plan.
When several thousand men ca.
wheatless foods one day in the week
and deny themselves meat on another
day, the total saved in those commodi
ties is considerable at the end OF a
month, as may well be imagined.
The soldiers, however, are not de.
prived OF full meals by the change.
Substitutes have been adopted
which really vary the monotony Of
the food and the new menu is said tc
be even more popular than the old.

ried men under the same conditions
as is provided for single men, army
regulations which said this sort o:

tin from Secretary of War Baker.
That the new order means the re-
enlistment Of many of the 500 guards
men who were discharged from the
Michigan forces last summer because
they had dependents Is the opinion Of
officers Of the former state guard now
training at Waco, Texas. Wisconsin
leaders also believe that numbers OF
trained men in the Badger state will
re-enlist.
Among the men discharged because
they were married and had dependents
were many border veterans.

According to information received
Mt Stockholm from Haparanda, the
Finnish senate has followed the &C
ton of the landtdag In proclaiming Fin
lands complete independence, and
that thereupon the government Is
sued formal proclamation setting
forth the step taken by the landtdag.
The dispatch also says Premier Swim
hufvud announced that an effort would
be made to obtain international rec
ognition of the independence of Fin
land. He declared further that threat
ened starvation made 1t urgently nee.
essary for Finland to enter into I'm
mediate relations with foreign pow
ers.
The proposal submitted to the Fin
nish Landtdag by the senate provides
Finland shall become a republic with
a president elected for term Of six
years, according to advices from Hell
singfors. The proposal provides the
first election shall be held January Is
and the president Is to take Office April
Is. Until then the premier Is 20 act
as the head, Of the republic.
The existence Of Finnish weapon
and ammunition depot somewhere of
the West BOthnia coast. which Is be-
ing supplied by German submarines
Is clearly indicated by preliminary in
vestigations into conflict between
Firms and Swedish customs authori-
ties of Halland. A motor boat
manned with arms and ammunition
was discovered by Swedish customs
officials, who were driven or by the
Firms. Firms living at Umea have
testified that German submarines de-
liverad arms and ammunition to FSn-
nish boats. ~

Sweden.

According to press reports, the fol-
lowing points were agreed upon with
reference to the course of Sweden,
Norway mad Denmark during the war:
First-By reason of the harmony ex-
listing between the three countries
however long the war may last and
whatever form, II may take, the cor
dial relations and mutual confidence
Of the three kingdoms shall be main
tained.. Second--In conformity with
the previous declarations and policies
OF the three countries II is the full in
tention Of their governments each for
itself to observe the utmost degree OF
neutrality toward all beligerent pow
ers, Third-The desire Is expressed
reciprocally to aid one another with
merchandise during the present diff
culties and special representatives are
to meet Immediately to facilitate the
exchange Of merchandise. AT the meet.
Ing there was a discussion In refer
ence to legislation dealing with the re-
lations Of foreigners. and Scandinavian
subjects. An agreement also was
reached regarding the continuation Of
preparatory measures toward safe
guarding the common interests of neu-
trails during and after the war. The
desirability Of cooperation between
the three countries was expressed 20
at previous conferences.
There was general indignation in the
allied countries when report was
published to the effect that the Swed-
ish legation at Petrograd had offered
Its services as an intermediary be-
tween the bolsheviki government and
Germany in the peace negotiations.
This was taken by the allies as evil
dence of Swedish friendship for Ger
many and called TO mind the recent
disclosures as to the transmission of
messages from Buenos Aires to the
German government by the Swedish
minister to Argentina. But the for
eign Office of the Swedish government
has entered vigorous denial of the
report.
A fire that destroyed property Of
very great value. estimated ut more
than n million dollars, broke out in
Abrahamson & Moberg's shipbuilding
works ut Goteborg recently. The fire
had gained such Roadway before the
arrival Of the fire department that
most of the big factory was in flames
and the entire building was destroyed.
Also six ships In process of construc-
ton were burned. and likewise ware
house, belonging to the Goteborg soda
factory. was consumed by the flames.
How the fire started Is not known. 1t
Is one Of the most destructive that has
occurred In Sweden for some years.
The Swedish government has de-
cided to prosecute the Goteborg Alton
blad (Evening Paper) on account Of
an article it published last Augusta
very bitter and unrestrained attack on
England.

Division Sure to See War.

Some of the medical men at Camu
Custer have discovered the reason
why so many PHYSICAL units" were
sent in the last increment
They charge that some OF the local
draft boards thought that the S5th
division would never see war, which
the NEEDLES say, evidently caused the
boards to grow careless in the frs.
physical examinations.
One army surgeon especially was
outspoken in his opinion that a ma.
jority Of the people, some local boards
and many OF the selects. believe the
drafted soldiers will not see service.
THE sooner that idea is eliminated
from their minds the better" he de
clared emphatically. $50 long as II
remains II will work against the best
interests OF the country and Of the
men.

According to n report from the Dan
ish capital, to relieve conditions In the
poor quarters of Copenhagen resulting
from the lack of light and fuel, num-
Der of halls have been opened where
the people of the district may come to-
gether and spend their evenings In
reading or sewing. With the shorten

many homes for the family to retire to
