CAMP LEWIS news

The war department has recently
issued Geographic instructions to all
camp commanders directing that re-
cruits be received for the infantry
and signal corps of the American
expeditionary forces in Europe. Re-
cruits having prior service may en-
list for one year. Recruits without
previous experience must enlist for
three years.
Men enlisted for the 4. e. F. will
be sent Immediately upon enlistment
TO the overseas replacement depot
at Camp Meade. Men who re-enIist
for this overseas service will be sent
to Camp Meade upon completion of
their re-enlistment furloughs. Tele-
phone operators, line men, and repair
men, and expert radio operators are
especially desired for the service in
Europe,
The electrical equipment and ma
terial and methods of installation in
Europe differ somewhat from equip
ment ordinarily encountered in the
United States. AS an instance, the
huge hooks worn by the line men
give them a grotesque appearance,
altho they are doubtless safer and
more comfortable than spikes, where
poles are of uniform size.
Big Field Meet
The first u. s. infantry planned a
field meet to be held in three days,
but competition was so keen that q
fourth day was necessary to try the
remainder of the forty-three events.
Interest was added by the fact that
most OF the contests were held in the
Camp Lewis field, which has the ad-
vantage of seating capacity for
thousands of visitors and an arena
of which every spectator can obtain
a full view. At this admirable field
the shooting events were the only
ones which could not be held.
Every man in the regiment had an
opportunity to compete in something,
if he could not do anything but peel
potatoes there was a potato peeling
contest for him. If he wanted to &C
company his best girl to the show he
could prepare for the orderly buck
ing contest and win prize while
the girl looked on, and felt proud of
him as a marvel of neatness. II he
liked to keep books he could enter
the company clerks contest. If he
was getting ready for a prospecting
or land seeking trip he could pre-
pare for the events scheduled for the
packers and tent pitchers and qualify
for his vacation. So it was with al
most every bunch Of military activ-
ity and the whole affair was such a
success that Colonel Endicott re-
marked, 81 would like to again have
command of company and have a
piece of this show in my company

they leave by seeing that they get
into an environment that will con
tinue their education as good citi-
zens until such time as they can re-
turn to their old environment with
the effect of uplifting that environ
ment rather than having 1t get them
into trouble again.
4, Cheer after cheer for the Salvation
Army was given. Chaplain Jones
spoke to the convention and when he
was thru there was hardly dry eye
in the house. He addressed meet
ing of 10000 in the grandstand of
the state fair grounds and made open
air talks from the Elks club room
steps and at other places about the
city. The story he told of the war
service was the most thrilling that
any had heard, and his tribute to
Elkdom for what it was doing for
the army and for other movements
intended to help their fellowmen was
one of the most brilliant tributes
ever heard at state convention.
Plans for the organization Of
junior Elk or other boys clubs to in
still in the minds of the boys growing
into men the big Americanism and
other high ideals Of the Elks order
were also made.

and that evidences of production in
the next few feet Of drilling are to
be seen. 1t is stated that they are
ON top of what promises to be q
good sand, having picked UP two
other sands on the way down, one
of which was estimated as produc-
tive of around 20 barrels of oil. This
sand was at about 100 feet. The
next sand encountered was at 1900
feet and was much thicker than in
other wells in that vicinity which
were drilled to through it. They
were cleaning out and ready to drill
into the sand today or tomorrow.
