Football teams will be in the 1 in all parts of camp. Boxing' and spotlight soon. There is a world of star athletic material among the recruits. In a recent baseball game between the Des Moines Western League champions and a camp team, every soldier-play er in the lineup was at one time mem-! ber' of some professional baseball league. In a recent track meet held between the members of two com panies college stars from all parts of the country participated. Every man is expected to learn the fundamentals of boxing and for that reason "Mike" Gibbons, well known fistic champion, will come to Camp Dodge about the middle of the month to take charge of the boxing. Camp Athletic Director Griffith has announced that all recruits will have to take part in some kind of sport. General Plummer has ordered that one full hour a day be allotted to athletics. Director Griffith plans to import some the French army games that have been developed since the war started. These games are designed to cultivate agility in the recruit just as boxing helps a man to be a better bayonet fighter. Those who prefer the games of football, basketball, boxing, wrestling and kindred active sports will have a chance to take any one of them dur ing the hour. But if not, the recruit will have "to go into these special army games. So much athletics, with several scores of football teams, a few hun dred boxing matches, etc., is going to require a great deal of athletic esuip ment. The army does not supply it. Therefore a big campaign is being conducted to raise money to buy th stuff for the soldiers. High schools in the four states represented at Camp Dodge are asked to give a part of their athletic receipts to the fund. High schools are urged to give en tertainments to raise money. All athletic contests in Des Moines will contribute a share of the returns. The hope is to furnish each com pany at the cantonment one or more boxes of sports goods. A box con sists of the following equipment: Six ball bats, twelve baseballs, one chest protector, one catcher's mask, one catcher's mitt, one first baseman's glove, six association footballs (to be used for soccer, volleyball or basket ball, two extra bladders), lacing and pump for same, two Rugby footballs, two sets of quoits with posts, six playground balls, four playground bats, two six-pound medicine balls, three official whistles, ten sets of boxing gloves and a set of rule books.

A special staff of physicians have been selected to examine every man at the Camp for tuberculosis. Many notable men nationally will visit Camp Dodge during the winter. This will include leading figures in the sports, the theatrical, the educa tional and the government circles. One of the first will be former Pres ident Tal't, who is scheduled to speak in Des Moines on October 20. While he is here- it is planned to hold the first public parade of National army soldiers. General Plummer has an nounced that the battalion which shows the best efficiency at drill by that date will be selected to parade before Taft in Des Moines. Gourd Family Is Important. The gourd family furnishes the hu man families with many edible fruits, and it is believed that pumpkins and squashes are of American origin, though in nowise certain. On the oth er hand, it is known that watermelons, muskniolons. cucumbers and all that branch of the family are of Asiatic ori gin. Yet all countries have native spe cies of this great family. ENJOYED A BIG HUNT A party of hunters arrived here the latter part of the week to participate in the fine hunting that can only be found in a territory where opportuni ties of all kinds, not only in hunting, but in many other ways, abound, says the Wildrose Mixer. The party was comprised of L. C. Wingate and O. J. Helland, Williston bankers M. E. Wilson of Minneapo lis, president of a line of banks M. D. Cotgrill, a gentleman from Chi cago and Paul R. McKee and Mr. Kel ler from Wisconsin. Friday the company with Banker Urseth, who assumed the holie of host for the party, went to the Big Meadow territory and tributary country, and a fine bag of ducks was the result of the shooting. They were placed in condition for proper eating—the ducks, not the hunters—at the Bis todeau Cafe Saturday evening and the expanding of the gentlemens' girth attested to the fact, the asser tion that they had never before eaten so well prepared viands, was wll founded. Sunday they went out again and report a good bag. They took along with them 45 ducks, besides a num ber of the birds which were con sumed as food by the party. The gentlemen were loud in the praise of the fine sport they had had in this neighborhood during their brief hunt here and were much im pressed with the general fine aspect, of this community in general.

The Les Legerts who are on the Hippodrome cirrcuit, appeared at the Orpheum last week. They arrived in America last May with many thrilling tales and the harrowing experiences in the sub marine zones are still fresh in their minds. "We sailed from Sidney, Australia, on the H. M. S., A-67 with 1.00 Aus tralian troops aboard. Our destina tion was Cape Town, South Africa. We had landed safely, but there were troops still on the boat when it was hit by a torpedo from a German sub marine. Sixteen officers, six privates and 31 nurses were killed." "In South Africa we obtained photo graphs of young British soldiers, who were victims of the first German cruelty. The Germans had gouged out their eyes and placed pearl but toms in their sockets. The way they treated the enemy is unbelievable. But at that time they were sure they wer going to win and felt as if they could do as they pleased. We did not bring the photographs with us for fear of being detained on our trip. "We sailed from Cape Town on the Norman Castle, a 9,000 ton ship,, for England. On the way the wireless op erator received an S. O. S. call from the Ballarat, which was in our con voy. Our ship was speeded toward the scene and when we arrived we found only a mass of wreckage—the work of a German submarine. We were all leaning over the railing, all so excited that we didn't realize our danger. There were some on board with cameras ready to take snap shots of submarines. Our .rifle preservers were close at hand. While near the spot where the Ballarat had gone down another S. O. S. came from an other ship. "The Norman Castle was headed in that direction, but a later messag2 warned us and other boats in the con voy to head for safety as there were two German submarines standing by the ship, which had not been torpe doed, but set on fire by shell fire. When the word came to beat it we WILLISTON GRAPHIC THE MODEL CLOTHING HOUSE QUITTING BUSINESS SALE TO PROVE OUR STATEMENTS THAT WE ARE ABSOLUTELY GOING OUT OF BUSINESS WE ARE GOING TO QUOTE PRICES W I W I O E IS S O IN A W E E A N E E W O W E S A A N S A N A O E E A S S E I O N MADE IN THIS ADD TO BE ABSOLUTELY AS REPRESENTED.

We sailed into an England port iust three hours after five Ger man destroyers had sent two Ameri can tramp ships to the bottom. "While in England there were three air attacks made by the Germans. Every place was dark. Searchlights played upon the skies all the time. All we could hear was the tramp, tramp, of the patrol. "We departed on the Carmania, a ship whose passenger capacity in normal times is from 3,000 to 3,500, but there were only 35 passengers, outside of the crew, to brave the dan gers of the submarines. The Ameri can gunners are held in the highest esteem. On most all of the allied ships they have American gunners or else British gunners, who have re ceived training on American ships. "For eight days and nights we slept with our clothes on, with life belts at our side and lights out—al ways with the dread of submarines. "Food in England is dirt cheap com pared with the prices in the United States. The people are not allowed'to spend more than 30 cents for a meal, with the privilege of 12 cents extra for coffee, cream and sugar. Potatoes sell at 25 cents a peck in England, compared with the higher price in the United States. "In southwest South Africa a new coin is being issued known as the German 'five hellers.' It is equal to one cent in American money and is made from the remnants of shells in the world-war zone. Germany has been so scraped of its gold that the creation of the 'five hellers' is the sequeal." Why the Weather Bureau? Why the weather bureau? This question is likely to be asked, in more or less querulous tones, whenever the local weather prediction fails, as it often does, says the Popular Science Monthly. The inquirer overlooks the fact that the weather bureau has much more important things to foretell than ordinary changes of weaflier.

Kahn, the New York Bank er and head of the Metropolitan Opera House Company, one of the most eminent of German born Amer icans, speaking of the Liberty Loan and war war finance before the Har risburg, Pa., Chamber of Commerce, said in part: "God strengthen the conscience and the understanding, the will and the power of the German people so that they may find the only road which will give to the world an early peace, and in time, lead Germany back into is now outcast. "I speak as one who has seen the spirit of the Prussian governing class at work from closebv, having at its disposal and using to the full, prac tically every agency for moulding the public mind. "I have watched it proceed with re lentless persistency and profound cunning to instill into the nation the demoniacal obsession of power-wor ship and world dominion, to modify and pervert the mentality, indeed, the very fibre and moral substance of the German people—a people which until misled, corrupted and systematically poisoned by the Prussian ruling caste, was, and deserved to be, an honored, valued and welcome member of the family of Nations. "I have hated and loathed that spirit ever since it came within my ken many years ago, hated it all the more as I saw it ruthlessly pulling down a thing which was dear to me, the old Germany to which I was link de by ties of blood, by fond memories and cherished sentiments. "From each of my visits to Ger many for twenty-five years, I came away more appalled by the sinister transmu tation Prussianism had wrought amongst the people and by the portentous menace I recognized in it for the entire world. "It had given to Germany unpar alleled prosperity, beneficient and ad vanced social legislation and not a few other things of value, but it had taken in payment the soul of the race. It had made a "devil's bargain." "And when this war broke out in Europe, I knew that the issue had been joined between the powers of brutal might and insensate ambition on the one side and the forces of hu manity and liberty on the other, be tween darkness and light.

"The Duty of loyal allegiance and faithful service to his country, even unto death, rests, of course, upon every American. "But, if it be possible to speak of a comparative degree concerning what is the highest as it is the most ele mentary attribute of citizenship, that duty may almost be said to rest with an even more solemn and compelling origin than upon native Americans. "For, we Americans of foreign an tecedents, are here not by the acci dental right of birth, but by our own free choice for better or for worse. "As Washington led Americans of British blood to fight against Great Britain as Lincoln called upon Amer icans of the North to fight their very brothers of the South so Americans of German descent are now summon ed to join in our country's righteous struggle against a people of their own blood which, under the evil spell of a dreadful obsession, and, Heaven knows, through no fault of ours, has made itself the ^nemy of this peace loving Nation."
