NUMEROUS CHANGES ORDERED

CAMP DODGE, Dec. 23-Hundreds
Of crippled, diseased or gassed men
who saw active service on the battle
fronts in France have arrived here
the past week. Some OF the men were
given an enthusiastic welcome while
others reached the depots here unan-
nounced and mo attention was paid to
them because OF this fact. A vigor-
ous welcome was given about 80 ma
rines who arrived the other morning
at daybreak. Probably 500 people
had gathered ct the Rock Island de-
pot. The 8. "a. T. G. band from Drake
university was on hand and the young
men we're delighted with their recep-
tion. These marines had been de-
tained in New York for several days
in q naval hospital resting up for the
long journey westward. Red Cross
women were on hand with hot coffee
and doughnuts which delighted the
husky marines. These men were in
the thickest OF the fight at St. Mihiel
and made q great record for them
selves and for their country. More
than half OF the men who entered that
battle were killed, but they kept the
Germans from Paris
Over 400 wounded men have been
transferred from Fort Des Moines to
construction hospitals nearer the
homes OF the men. Others have taken
their places and several shipments
have been taken to the base hospital
at Camp Dodge. Fifteen Pullman
sleepers composed a train of overseas
men who reached Camp Dodge at mid
night Friday. Men are coming from
other cantOnments and around 10000
men are now at the camp, but changes
are taking place rapidly. Men are be-
ing discharged as fast as railway
equipment will justify and the coming
and going present scenes OF changing
interest.
