Of the department for Camp Sparks
What was at first called the Ku
Klux Khan, among the soldiers, has
been renamed and Is now known as
the "Cluckers. Their pranks are
harmless, but cause their superior
officers some annoyance. Their
propensity for visiting the tents OF
the superiors and keeping up con-
slant clucking for sometime late at
night has disturbed the slumber OF
the captains and lieutenants, and
orders have been issued for the
rounding UP OF the "Cluckers." All
efforts to effect their capture 10
date have failed. Instead OF white ,
robes they use their pillow cases and ,
army blankets for raiment.
