New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-04-17

has been put in charge of Capt. Morris
sey and he has gone about it in thorough
manner. Company commanders have
been given posters to hang in each of the
barracks, literature to be distributed to
each of the men in camp and sales
stations have been established in each
of the sixteen canteens in the camp.
Workers in state headquarters assist
ed in the organization of tie camp.
While the stamps have been on sale
at the camp only little over week,
the demand for them is increasing daily,
according to Capt. Morrissey.
Proper Statutes Insisted Upon.
Forty-two enlisted men from Camp
Dodge have been confined to the limits
of their barracks and drill area for
fifteen days for failure to salute Off
GERS on the streets of Des MONIES.
Tie matter of safutes has been given
much. additional importance because
of recent ORDER from tie war Depart
ment that care'essne~s and slovenliness
in saluting superiors will not be toll
Grated; neither will carelessness in dress
and equipment be excused. This recent
order has greatly improved the soldierly
appearance of the men. Making it a
positive duty to appear at their best
always has an inspiring effect upon the
military bearing of the men.
Another St. Paul Stacker DR.; VS. rs
Years.
Failure to register, evading the draft
and refusal to serve was responsible
for a court martial at Camp Dodge
sentencing Nicolus Ungar, of St. Paul,
to rs years imprisonment Tuesday.
Brig. Gen. R. N. Getty designated Fort
Leavenworth as the place where the
sentence will be served. Ungar is a
combination of the socialist and in
dustrial worker of the world. He re-
fused to either don the uniform or obey
orders. One of the men recently sent
to prison for long term stated on the
side that they will all be liberated after
the war is over and people get over their
excitement. Doubtless this is the way
all of these fellows view the situation.
Prison to them seems to imply that they
have escaped German bullets upon the
French front, and therefore these pris-
on sentences are not taken seriously
by this bunch of slackers. Prison au-
thorities at Fort Leavenworth tell
them a different story when they get
there. Men who violated army regu-
lations in times of peace while serv-
ing in the regular army are serving
the full term of sentence. Uncle Sam
is hard taskmaster when it comes to
adequate punishment for the violation
OF the rules of the army.
Limitation of Shipments to Soldiers.
If the large number of needless al
ticles sent by relatives and friends
back home to the soldiers at Camp
Dodge is being repeated to tie men
who have gone to France it is not sur
prising that the war department was
forced to issue drastic orders. In a
recent official bulletin the war Depart
ment says: In future shipments Of
any articles to members of the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces abroad will
be limited to those articles which have
been requested by the individual to
whom same is to be shipped, such re-
quest having been approved by his
regimental or higher commander.
Parcel post shipments will be accepted
by the post office authorities and other
shipments by express or freight COM
panies only upon presentation of tie
above approved request in each indi-
vidual case. An officer at Camp Dodge
told your correspondent the other day
that no one would believe how many
things are sent to the soldiers from
home that are absolutely worthless to
them in army life. The officer said
that if the men were off to college these
things would be just what are needed
but not so in the army.
Bad Fire at the Base Hospital.
Fire broke out in the kitchen near
, the nurses quarters at 5 o'clock the
| other morning and the nurses were
| forced to- flee in their night garments
| leaving behind their clothing and val
uables. Many of them sustained heavy
losses. While none were injured the
escape in some cases was miraculous
Several fire companies with all needed
equipment are stationed throughout the
cant onment and notwithstanding the
hundreds of combustible buildings. a
! fire does not have much opportunity
to get very good start. There is talk
now of making a pebble finish upon all
the buildings and this will greatly re-
lieve danger from fire.
