composed mostly of Michigan, Illinois
and Wisconsin men, and as we are ac-
customed to cold weather it sure affect
ed us. Last Saturday was the hottest
day we've had, the thermometer regis
tering SS degrees in the sun.
Camp Sheridan is considered one of
the best National Army Camps in the
u. S. The water is 100 per cent pure,
and the percentage of deaths and sick
ness are smaller here than at any
other army camp.
The manner in which we are
trained is certainly great Tent life
and out door exercise has built up %
per cent of the men to where they've
outgrOwn their original issue of
clothing. I've gained about fifteen
pounds and I've known men to gain
from twenty-five to thirty pounds.
AS / understand it we are here for
physical and military trainings only,
but this will cease shortly as we are to
move to Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ca,
next week, where we will be assigned
to our regular duties along ordnance
lines.
I've enlisted in the Ordnance Corps,
"a staff organization, and my services
will be at the American Ordnance Base

ROAD SIGNS FOR
STATE HIGHWAYS
Work of Marking WiscOnsin's
Trunk Line Roads Will Be-
gin May l, 5000 Signs
To Be Used

On Wednesday, Mar. 81. sealed bids
will be opened for road markers. and
signs on the state trunk line highway
system. The specifications for these
markers provide that they be of wood,
steel or concrete, and approximately
5000 Of them will be placed on the
5000 mile system.
The base or standard design to be
used is triangle with it's apex at the
bottom and the base line at the top.
Each of the state trunk highways will
be numbered-fOr instance, the num-
ber of the road from Milwaukee to
Madison to the Mississippi river will be
10. The state will issue road map
which will be numbered accordingly.
On each mile of this road will be placed
a standard road marker, white post
raising feet above the ground just
outside of the construction limits,
with the edge toward the road. On both
sides of this white post will be paint
ed the number of the road. Beneath
the triangle will be the number of the
mile, the mile number beginning at the
west end of the road.
When finished, the Wisconsin sys-
TEN of marking roads, will be the best
SO far brought out by any state. 1t is
expected that the work of putting out
the signs and markers will begin May
1st and be completed July LIST.
At the intersection of State Trunk
Highways a sign eight feet high will
be placed, which will give the number
of the trunk highway, will have an
arrow pointing in each direction over
the cross roads and will give the name
of the principal cities in each direction
and the distance from the intersecting
point
The county-line signs will be placed
on each county line, standing eight
feet high, and will have placed thereon
the names Of both counties and the
county highway commissioner of each.
A patrol system will be placed on the
State Trunk Highway, patrolmen be-
ing in charge of sections of road. AT
the junction of patrol sections, signs
will be placed indicating the number
of each patrol and the name of the
patrolman in charge,
The standard danger sign will stand
eight feet above the road, the usual
triangle in shape, with a red back
ground and white lettering. There will
be three signs of this type, one indi-
eating dangerous curve. the other a
dangerous hill, and the third a rail
road crossing.
At the approach to schoolhouses
churches and other places where eau
tion should be exercised, there will be
a "Slow'' sign of the same type as the
danger sign,
The object in placing the names OF
the county highways commissioners on
the county-line signs and the patrol
men on the patrol signs is to enable
| the public to know who is in charge OF
that section of the road and on whom
! the responsibility rests. The patrol
men will wear metal badge on their
hats numbered the same as the patrol
section they are in charge OF
1t is expected that the work of put
/ ting out these signs and markers will
begin May 1st and be completed
July 1st

GERMAN ALIENS
MUST Be CAREFUL.
Permit Required If They Wish
to Change Place of Resi-
dence

\ German alien enemy changing his
place of residence to another place
within the same registration district
shall Immediately report such change
to the registration officer Of the regis
tratiOn district and present TO such
registration officer his registration
card for the purpose of having endorsed
thereon by such registration officer
the change Of residence. a German
alien enemy who desires to change his
place of residence to place Of resi-
dence within another registration dis
trict, must obtain permit. Such
German alien enemy must present him
self to the registration officer Of the
district in which he then resides and
make application for the permit on
form supplied by the registration Off
Ger, and present his registration card
to the registration officer for the pur-
pose of having the permit of change
of residence. if granted, endorsed on
the registration card. If the registra-
ton officer denies the application there
may be an appeal under certain cir
cumstances set forth in Article XIII.
Paragraph 3, of the General Regula-
tiOns. to the United States Marshal of
the judicial district for final action.
German alien enemies will readily
understand who is meant by "registra-
tiOn officer" They are the officers
who issued the registration cards.
Chiefs of Police in cities of five thou
sand or more are registrars for those
German aliens living within the city
limits, and pOstmasters of offices
through which the alien enemy gets his
| mail are registrars in all other areas.
The general idea is that the German
alien enemies are not supposed to
move about freely from place to place,
and registration officers are not eX-
pected to give permission for change of
| residence unless very good and sub
Stantial reasons exist for the change.
| Registration officers are supposed to
know where each of the registfants
connected with their offices are at all
| times. Aliens leaving their home dis
| tricts and going to larger cities are
| likely to find themselves in prohibited
areas without area permits, and if sc
1 found will be Immediately arrested.
Any violation Of the regulations will
| subject the offender to summary ar.
rest and subsequent internment.
