There is nothing on earth more in
spring to patriotism than Camp
Meade review.
The military bands Of Camp Meade
are now a recognized part of the Mill
tary service They are all right on the
music stuff, and they are run by gen.
tlemen who are as accommodating and
obliging as they are good looking. That
is going some.
With rifle practice daily on the range,
with machine guns rafting in another
quarter of the cantOnment the military
atmosphere here is becoming strikingly
realistic.
So many changes have been made in
the schedule of the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis that the soldiers
who go to Baltimore are put to a great
deal of annoyance and Inconvenience,
causing them to explain the reasons for
their delay. This week 1t was announced
by the railroad officials a new and bet
ter schedule had been inaugurated.
Sergt. ]. J. Shirey of Company K,
31Sth, poet of that company and author
of the 313th's marching song, had so
much success in persuading men here
to take out the war risk insurance that
he has been sent over to France to help
sign up men about to go into the
trenches for the war risk insurance.
The period of taking out insurance has
been extended, and he will probably
have plenty to.do

MORE TIME IS GIVEN
UNDER WAR RISK ACT
United States Fighters May Apply
Klein's Book at the 20"
April IL.

The time within which applications
for insurance may be made by the SOL
diers and sailors of America has been
extended until April IL, according to
a telegram received by Brig. Gen. w.
]. Nicholson, the acting division COM
mander here. The extension does not
apply, however, to the automatic in
surance of $4,000 given every soldier
and sailor until February IL by the
terms of the war risk act.
Capt. Roscoe D. Brown, who handled
the insurance campaign here, reported
to Gen. Nicholson that 981s per
cent of the men of the division had
been insured during the campaign, and
that the total amount of insurance
purchased through the government by
the men here was 1925, 8,001 900, The aver
age policy amounted to $S,265.
A Perfect Score.
The 314th Infantry. a unit composed
of Pennsylvanians, established an en-
viable record during the campaign
which ended on February IL. All but
nine men of this organization were in
sured for total of $40, 10000. The
average policy in this regiment was
$3.50. and the regiment is 9957 per
cent inusred. The 31Cth Field Artillery,
which is made up largely of Maryland
county men and some Pennsylvanians,
made the best record among the artil-
lepy units. Every man in this regiment
was insured.
The camp quartermaster forces were
the only ones to make a perfect score
during the campaign. Every officer and
man in this department here-there are
about 800 of them-was insured for the
maximum amount of $4,000 each. The
maximum insurance for every officer
and man in the division was the goal
set by Gen. Nicholson when the cam
paign was begun. He was particularly
pleased at the results, and he expressed
the hope that those who failed to avail
themselves of the unusual opportunity
for additional protection as provided in
the insurance will do so before April
IL.
Capt. Brown Explains.
Capt. Brown explained that the pur-
pose of the extension was primarily to
give the soldiers overseas who had not
had an adequate opportunity to pur-
chase insurance a chance to do so. And
at the same time those who have not
yet been sent abroad and who could not
be interested in the unusual offer by
the government will have another
chance to file their applications. Before
the campaign was brought to a close,
those men who would not buy policies
were obliged to sign a paper to the eff
feet that they did not want insurance.

SENATOR VARDAMAN
 APPEARS BEATEN
Harrison Has Big Lead on Early Returns From Mississippi Primary-F0rmer Gov. Noel Running Third.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 20-Complete returns from a number of central and southern cities and scattered and in complete figures from small towns and precincts, throughout Mississippi, at 10 o'clock tonight showed Con- gressman B. P. Harrison of Gulfport, Miss, running far ahead of Senator James K Nardaman of Jackson, and former Gov. E. F. Noel of Lexington in the senatorial primaries. Harrison supporters declare it would be impossible for Vardaman to secure in north Mississippi enough votes to make a second primary ne cessary. Returns from north Missis- sippi are unexpectedly slow, although scattered returns gave Harrison a majority.
 In Jackson, Vardaman's home city complete returns showed: Harrison. 964; Vardaman, 182, and Noel 80. In Vardaman's ward the vote was liar rison 121; Vardaman 28. Kinds coun- ty, carried last time by Vardaman showed, with a few small precincts missing: Harrison, 1 ,559; Vardaman 595; Noel 152.
 Tn teh congressional districts mea- ger reports showed that where incum- bents were candidates they were ap- parently not only holding their own but had safe leads over their oppon- ents.
 The senatorial contest overshad- owed all else in the primaries today 4 letter from President Wilson, stat ing he "could not but regard Varda- mans election as condemnation of my administration by the people of Mississippi was regarded by polti- cal leaders as having been a strong factor in cutting down the Vardaman vote.
 Vardaman headquarters tonight de- clared the north Mississippi vote would, at least, make a second pri- mary necessary.
