Military Drill


Military drill was held Thursday
night at Long View park The
night was clear and the moon
bright. we'll illuminating the
ground. The call to attention was
given promptly at 1880. Captain
KIove blew the whistle to assemble
and every girl responded, taking
her place in line Immediately.
All girls who had drilled before
were divided into two divisions.
CAPTAIN Klove taking command OF
one and Lieutenant Mielke COM
maudtnZ the other. The maneuvers
demand a good knowledge of squad
marching. Corporals have been ap-
pointed in each squad and after the
general command had been given
by the commanding officer the cor
pOraI in charge gave the command
to her squad An On-looker IS
much impressed with the determin-
alton of every girl. who pays strict
attention to obey orders and to do
her best. One might think that it
is the serious business of war that
they are preparing for. Copies OF
70 general orders taken from an
. army manual were given each girl
10 learn before next week.
Last night the only difficulty was
that the girls were told to dress
warmly and some came without
heavy coats. 1t is much more
heaIthfuI to have the drill out Of
doors and those in charge want to
keep il out as long as possible. So
each girl is asked to dress warmly
and if necessary to wear rubbers.
Plans are under way for hike to
be taken early some Sunday morn
ing when the weather is fine. They
will march out into the country
several miles. build a fire and cook
their own breakfast, returning home
in time for church. Nothing definite
has been decided about uniforms
but the plans are under consider
