With its milling crowd, its men,
women and children, this place doesn't
look like an army camp, although 1t Is
remarkably clean. 1t loks like some
mining town which has sprung up over

infinitely more orderly On a hill

'Ycu can't do anything about it here.

General" said big fellow, you

Another laugh, and he drove on.
"HoW's the eating?" he asked another

answer, except We haven't any meat"

the general grinning. Hey, you Rhode

I can get a bag full, will you have

He drove over to where a new outfit
had pulled in, asked for the leader.
and questioned him as to his plans.
For a moment the general stopped in
front of the most elaborate home in
the camp-a pretty little stucco cot
tage with a neat fence. 1t belongs to
Henderson Sayre, Cornell IT, who lives
there with his wife and child. He was
a lawyer, but he had little hard luck.
There are lot like him here: Lawyers,
