CAMP FUNSTON NEWS.
An Interesting Bunch of Items
from the Great CantOnment.

(Union Pacific News Bureau.)
CAMP FUNSTON, Kan,
March 6.-This month is to be a
busy one, according to the train
ing schedule mapped out by
Brig. Gen. Frank L. Winn, COM
mander of the S9th division. The
drafted men who came here a
few months ago have been grad
ually rounded out into real sol
diers and now the polishing
touches" are beng made.
That most necessary thing in
the army-d's-ipline, will be i'm
pressed on the men more than
ever by the disciplinary drill.
'The disciplinary drill should
be short, but the discipline
should be the strictest possible, "
reads the order. "No movement
should be permitted except as
exactly described. More atten-
ton should be paid to minor de-
tails, such as position of rifles,
length of step, accuracy OF
movement; and under no condi-
ton should this degenerate into
a routine without progress.
There should be more energy,
life and attention than com.
monty seen ON the training
grounds"
The physical drills and games
so essential in training the sol
dier for the future hand-to-hand
combats with the Hun, will be
continued, and from the great
number of men that get out with
their gloves, bats and balls or
the warmer days, it is indicated
that Camp Funston will have
some crack baseball teams this
spring. Captain Paul Withing
ton, athletic director, IS plan.
ming on scheduling several
games with the big league teams
when they start their spring
training trips.
Special attention will be given
this month to patrolling by day
and by night, and long night
marches. Enemy trenches will
be outlined at the divisional
trench system and the men will
be given advanced instruction in
sniping, in making their way
through "No Mans Land" and
in the hurting of real grenadep
and bombs.
Every officer and non-commis-
stoned officer of infantry must,
by April LIST, know the Morse
code well enough to enable him
to send and receive short mes
sages under battle conditions.
The artillerymen will continue
with the school of the cannoneer,
school of the battery and the
school of the firing battery, and
in addition there will be motor
instruction for the motorized or
CARNATIONS. An English officer
-an expert who has seen much
service cover there"-has arriv-
ed to give the men of the trench
mortar regiment special instruc-
tions.
The engineers training for the
month will include the making of
overnight camps if the weather
permits, revetment work, the
building of bomb proof shelters,
observation and command posts,
machine gun emplacements, lis
tening posts, the draining of
trenches, bridge work, road
road work and Gaping and min

and in doing other
work along rescue and medical
lines.
At the close of the month of
training appropriate tests viii be
conducted by all tactical COM
raanders in order to rate the Or
ganizationS in relative pro-
ficiency.
While the "old-timers" are go
ing through their advanced
work., the new draft arrivals are
being initiated into the mys-'
teries of army life. And they
are making good with a ven-
geance. The tent city over the
other side of Fort Riley, where
the men are to be kept for the
first three weeks, is a model
camp in command of Lieut.. Col.
Martil L. Crimmins.
In the few days that they have
been in camp the men have
learned to salute in a snappy,
military manner, and they can
do squads right" and the other
preliminaries like regulars. No
camp I'M the country has a bet
ter health record, only 20 men
out of every 1000 being on the
sick list, and many OF those have
only minor ailments. The new
drafted men will be kept in the
detention camp for three weeks
and then assigned to organiza-
tions.
The Importance Of obeying
orders, especially in regard to
having camp without authority,
S emphasized in a general order
issued by the commanding gen.
eral. The order calls attention
to the fact that disobedience of
orders in time Of war is a capi-
tai offense. While there have
been comparatively few real de
sertions from Camp Funston,
there have been several times
when men have forgotten the
air-tight army regulations and
have slipped off for a few days
with no more serious intentions
than when they used to play
hockey from school. But such
an offense, they have learned, is
a serious one during war times.
''Men selected for detached
service or transfer will be given
direct personal orders by their
immediate commanding officer
to hold themselves at all times
ready to carry out the order for
transfer, and are not to leave
the cantonment without special
authority" the order reads. eff
they fail to carry out these or
ders they will be tried for DISC
bedience of orders, which in
time of war is a capital offense. !"
"In case of men designated
for overseas service who absent
themselves without authority,
regimental commanders will inn
mediate1y telegraph the sheriff
in the town or community from
which the man comes, stating
the man is a deserter, and if he
is picked up he should be turned
nto the nearest military author
ity."
Men picked up in this man.
ner will be treated as deserters
and tried as such, except in
cases where the man admits de-
sertion and it is decided proper
to have him restored to duty

Amsterdam, Aug. 4.-"The enemy evaded us on July 15 and we there upon, as early as the evening of the 16th broke off operations. It is al ways our endeavor to stop an under taking as soon as the stake is not worth the cost. l consider it one of my principal duties to spare the blood and strength of our soldiers"
 General Ludendorff, first quarter master general of the German army made this statement to an assemblage of German newspaper correspondents who were received by Field Marshal von Hindenburg and himself, accord ing to dispatches received here.
 Referring to General Foch, General Ludendorff continued:
 His plan was undoubtedly to cut off the entire arc of our front south of the Aisne by a break through on the flank. But with the proved leadership of our seventh and ninth armies that was quite impossible
 "We reckoned with an attack on July IS and were prepared for it. The enemy experienced very heavy losses and the American and African auXil- iary troops, which we do not undeS- estimate, suffered sevreerly.
 By the afternoon of the 18th we already were fully masters of the situation and shall remain so. We left the abandoned ground to the enemy according to our regular plan. Gain of ground and 'Marne' are only catch words without importance for the issue of the war. We are now, as before, confident v
 1 Field Marshal von Hindenburg also dilated on how economically the troops of Germany had been used. He said:
 "These circumstances and supply considerations decided our measures and we transferred the fighting to favorable ground where the troops could easily be supplied.
