CAN'T KEEP HIM down
TWICE POSTED AS KILLED, WILL
AGAIN FIGHT THE KAISER.

The following from a Neillsville,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Byrne, of
Madison:
There are 1900 different kinds
of heroes on Great Lakes naval train
ing station, but they'll all doff their
hats in honor of Jackie Roy e. Dug
all, a seaman of Camp Ross and son
of Landlord Dugall, of the Merchants
hotel, of Ne~illsville.
Dugall has been killed officially
twice by the Germans, but he is
about to go to sea with next weeks
quota of Great Lakes jackies and do
battle with all the other live blue
jackets of the United States navy
against the kaiser's sea hordes.
Dugall was once posted as killed
in action" in France, and once listed
as lost, a victim of submarines. He
was counted as slain at the second
battle of Ypres where he fought with
drowned with the Inflated steamship
Arabic, sunk by a submarine off
Fastnet rock in August. 1915.
But in each case he survived,
though suffering terribly from his
experiences. Now, for the third time
he is going back as a fighter for his
native land, and clean up his score
with the boches.
Dugall enlisted when he was Is
and served Is months with the Cana
dian forces in France. He ran away
from his home in Wisconsin to fight.
His parents tried for more than a
year to obtain his release, but only
the effects of shell shock that he suf-
fered in a German b~ombardment
caused his honorable discharge from
the British forces. He was on the
Arabic when it sank, but made a
heroic fight for life and swan to a
lifeboat after he had been seen ap-
~parently sinking in the water.
A few months at home with Amer
lea in the fight convinced him he be-
longed In 1t, too. He enlisted in the
navy last July at Minneapolis. Short
ly after he reached Great Lakes for
training he suffered an attack oil
trench feet" from exposure he had
undergone at the front, which vir.
tually disabled him.
For several months Dugall has
been able only to hobble around
Owing to his military experience he
was put in the instruction school to
receive training in the drilling of re.
cruits. That was work too safe and
%uneventful. He begged and got leave
from shore duty to n Of the com
panies about to go to sea at once. :
Dugall still limps from his trench
feet" but he's happy. He has 8
chance to help pot at least one sub,
marine. For a man who has beer
twice dead and sunk once without q
trace. he's the Invest ghost that evel
walked the deep.

CROWDED CAMP
EATING GOOD, AND MEN ARE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SENT
TO CAMP CUSTER, MICH.

En- route from Jefferson Barracks,
Mo-, to Camp Custer, Mich, Leonard
Stearns writes his folks of conditions
at the southern camp. He expected
to be at Jefferson several months,
but they decided to send him with
several others to Michigan. where he
expects to complete his training. He
applied for work as an aviation
mechanic, but is not sure of being
assigned to that work.
Due to the tremendous rush of en-
listments just before the 18th of De-
cember, the camp was in a very
crowded condition. Sleeping quar-
ters were crowded, and blankets were
scarce among the men. There was
six inches of snow on the ground
when he entered the camp, but they
were made entirely comfortable.
Large stoves are maintained in the
barracks, and at night a guard was
detailed to maintain a good tempera-
ture in the rooms. For a few nights
at first, he was allowed to go to st.
Louis overnight, but they afterwards
curtailed that privilege. and he slept
in the barracks with the others.
There was no complaining among the
men, for, whatever else Uncle Sam is
failing in in the mobilizing and train
ing Of the troops, he is furnishing the
grub" regularly, in good quantity
and quality.
The Y. M. C. A. and X. c. houses
attached to the camp had been closed
for a few days before he left, depriv-
ing the soldiers of many of the priv
ileges usually afforded them through
these agencies. (They always men
ton these organizations.) Mail was
irregular and greatly delayed. But
their grub was forthcoming regular
ly, and their army clothes issued
them.
The day previous to his departure
there were 5000 men shipped from
the camp to various other camps in
the country and he says that so great
were the numbers there that their
absence could not be marked from
the tremendous crowd. Due to the
central location of this camp there
are thousands coming and going all
the while, being distributed to other
camps.

DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
MAN PROVES THAT HE DID NOT
UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION
is AN AMERICAN.

When Loue Stremo, Austrian, in
the United States about eight years,
turned his QUESTIONABLE in to the
local exemption board yesterday, and
they found that he had answered the
question, Are you willing to return
to your native country and enter its
military service?" by YES" the
board Immediately became agitated.
Sheriff E. A. Keller found Stremo,
and took him before the board at a
late hour yesterday afternoon, and
the man explained away the evident
enmity to the land of his present res
idence.
The papers were filled Out before
A. w. Sponholz, of the legal advisory
board, who was somewhat surprised
man if he was sure he understood
the question, and the answer was so
positive that Mr.. Sponholz could not
do otherwise than enter it as given.
He even returned to it the second
time, and again was answered in the
same positive manner. The ques-
tionnaire was passed by the legal adj
visor as signifying the mans intent.
When questioned by the board
last night he made it appear that he
did EoI understand the word ma
tive" He thought it meant this
co:.ntry-the country he was now in.
He expressed a willingness to enter
the service of the United States army
at once, saying that this country was
good enough for him. He made no
claims for deferred classification or
exemption.
Stremo has been in this country
about eight years. coming from Aus
tria. Re had intended to return to
the OLD country, but the war broke
out. HnG he could not do that Nor ar-
ply for citizenship. His father and
brothers are fighting in the armies
of that country. In talking of this
earlier in the winter he came under
the suspicion of men about the sta
ton, and Sheriff Keller questioned
him closely at that time. He said at
that time that he was willing to en-
ter the United States service.

Skagway Commercial Club, thru It's secretary, Phil AOrahams, has seut out during the past jew G1ys several hundred pamphrets or RuI- IetIns advertising the agricultural and mining industry in Alaska, us well as other information regarding the territory of a general nature.
 The bulletins were compiled by the Alaska Bureau of Publicity un- der the supervision Of Chief E. U. White and are entiueE Life ill Alaska" ;" Progress of Alaska Sinoa Purchase" General Facts about the Territory of Alaska in Condensed Form" Edible Herbs aud Vegetables fuond in Alaska, !" and Farming in the Chilkat val ley"
 Probably the most interesting bull letin is the one entitled Life in Alaska" This gives a very gen aral idea of conditions which main tain in the north, and shoulG De largely instrumental in brushing the cobwebs from the minds of the peo- pie of the states in believing that Alaska is a country overrun with guumen, blighted by blizzards, that we do all our teaming with dog teams, and that the principal diversion is attending the dance- hall where the women of question able character predominate.
 The pamphlet On farming is very good, and while 1t does not do justice to this industry, it con Yeys a very fair Idea of what has been accomplished along the lines during the past 20 years.
