CAMP KERRIS. GRAYLING, Mich
FOR folk* -coking the spectacular in training for war. Camp Kerri* will
be h disappointment Camp I‘erris is the offlrlal name for ’he
reservation near Gravling, at which the most of the Michigan Na
, tloital guard is mobilized. Then has been no digging of trenches
nor mock battles There hav. been no long bikes and far flung battle lines
In war man* uv re* To the casual visitor. Camp Kerri* appears to be an
encampm.-nt of soldiers and little else. A few soldiers can always be seen
In com pan v ar.d squad drills and other* are likely to be discovered at any
time wigwagging hither and von. but that Is about all Asa n>a<ter of
fart, t amp Kerri* t* little more than a mobilization camp lhe Michigan
troops will no* get much training her- Th-r*' W 'H h “ mighty few of them

and the bov * a*-e going to b* here *n *hor a time that it would seem o
a civilian that, there was little u.*c in sending them up here a' a..
These line* are not written to indica’o that the »ime devoted to Grayling
will be wasted That n not true Some verv important work is being
done and having done it. the troop* will be in much better shape to engage
in the more spectacular thing- than if they went south directly from their
armories
Tor one thing <he bov* are getting a quirk review of tent life Their
phort stav at Grayling will hard*n them to camping out before they are
called upon to change climates They are getting some practice in the
mechanics of outdoor encampment When Waco I* reached, the supply
department* will be running «nmothl> The companies, rookies and all,
will be versed in the thing- that cannot be 'aughi in armories. The sky
larking will be ovet Tin- moral* of the troops in camp will lie established
In short, ihe boys of the Thirtv First and the Thirty-Second will be all
ready for the big grind as soon ;< thev strike Texas
(Grayling Training
St’f'H training as has been done h**r,< has been confined to close order
drill, calisthenics and signal practice. The callisthenics answer two
valuable purpose* Thev improve the physical condition of the sol
dier*. and thev form the groundwork for the all important bayonet
practice Two or thre* year* ago the Michigan National guard became very
enthusias’ic over the art of harpooning the enemy with the bayonet A
large number of the boy* became quite expert Several of the rib sticking
sharks are still with the guard, and they are qualified to ac' a* instructors
In addition there are several men who took advanced training in this
game at Fort Sheridan, and their services will prove valuable in this
vespect.
(’old steel never has figured so much a- in this war sine** effective
guns were Invented The actual capture or defense of a tren« h almost
Invariably Is featured by the use of the bavonet in the showdown The
Ormans are not overly fond of thl* hand to hand battling, and skill in the
of the tug knife usually mean* the difference between victory and
repulse when an advance is attempted
Whether Americans will he taught the bayonet technic hitherto popu
lar in United <ta.'e* armies is something that the officers do not know at
present Amerh an* are accustomed to a man to man duel with this mod
ern -pear The Allies do not use that svs’em It is their custom to send
two men after one German The fib leader in the front rank picks the
German ami goes after him The man directly behind the file leader
promptly goes to hi* assistance Then one man parries the German's
thrusts and keep* ihe victim hu*v. while the other soldier stick* friend
victim in the rih* This system does not appeal to the American as quite
wo sportsmanlike as the man toman <la*h Hnd "may the better man-win"
tilt Hut It drives Germans out of the trenches, and that, after all, Is the
big Idea There are other international differences in technic nnd prob
ahL some of them will be adopted by the Americans, for the French are
master swordsmen and should have some excellent notions about expert
bayonet duelling Instructions in these matter* will reach the Wolverines
a* Waco Meanwhile the ground work is being laid by callsthenic exer
cises here at Grayling
A Win:wan or Two
S IGNAT* practice realh is the most important feature of «uch training
as has been undertaken here Every man must become expert in
semaphore signalling Every noncommissioned officer and coni
missioned officer must be nn expert in both semaphore and wigwag
signalling The semaphore system u«**s a distinctive position of ihe arms
for each letter of the alphabet. The wigwag system is similar to the
common telegraph code, movements of the arms and hands indicating the
dots and dashes Flag* can be used In both systems when the reading
must be done at a great distance
It ]■ easv so grasp the importance qf such a means of communication
by all hands Every man In the btigade will be able to converse with any
other man without a sound ID* will be able to converse over great dis
tances with ea*e Every man In the brigade will be a wire!**** sender in
himself, and every man will be h receiving station in himself The range
of communication will be limited only bv the nmg* of the strongest field
glasses This srt of signalling Is not confined altogether to things military
Yesterday afternoon one of the officers of the Thirtv First wanted the
services of the company barber, and didn't want to go to the company tents
to get him He stood tn front of hts tent, semaphored for half a
and the barber was duly summoned
The ('amp Itself
IT is understood that the Thirty-third regiment, which is on duty at
Rattle ( reek the Son. Mt t'leniens and Ft Wayne and which has
never been mustered out of the Federal service since the return from
the Mexican border, will not come to Grayling at all The brigade as
It Is quartered here at full strength 1* composed of the two regiment* of
Infantry, two ambulance companies, one squadron of cavalry, one battalion
of signal eorp*. one field hospital, one battalion of engineers, three hattertes
of artillery and the supply trains This means a force of front 5.000 tn
6.000 men It ts certain that not all of the engineers will be here, and
probably only n few. if any. will come Thev are in duty at construction
ramps and some of them will he hastened to Waco, together with several
other companies which have been ordered to leave at once Company
I>. of Detroit’s Thirtv First, Is one of these |t is a companv of plumbers
and will altend to the plumbing at the Waco camp
( amp Kerris Is a pretty and a healthy place, and Is plenty large enough
to provide adequate shelter for the entire brigade It la not large enough,
however, for drilling on a large scab* #This Is one reason why practically
all of the drilling being attempted now Is of the dose order sort, and
confined to companies and sqiiAd* The sanitation Is excellent The camp
Is located five miles front Grayling, on a rising slope from a very consider
able lake Underfill is a heavy turf and overhead is lots of shade The
nv*-n *a> that thetr food is very good In fact, their only complaint U that
thev can't leave for Kranre at once They ddh't like the notion of prac

< cipt of an unexpected contribution
from the boy who heretofore has
been accustomed to squander all his

A large percentage of the claims
for exemption filed ujth the draft
boards has been based on these
grounds Many of them are wholly
valid, hut a good many others are
not. and the draft official;, are using
every means at hand to distinguish
between them
An exemption claim based on the
fact that the drafted man is sup
porting relatives in the old country
will hav* no weight w ith the boards.
Several such claims have been filed
in division No. 2. comprising the
upper end of the Eir*t ward, with
headquarters in the Northern high
school All will he denied.
In this same division are several
men who have presented doctor’*
certificates that thev are physically
unfit for service, alfho th»*v passed
a satisfactory examination before
the board The only thing wrong
with the*e men. in the opinion of
the board, i* jaundice of the spinal

will all be dented. The hoard* will

The members of the board tn di
